James Irvin was born in Penn l 's Valley, Centre County, in the yaer 1800, His maternal grand father, James Watson, Was a Whig of the Revo lution, and resided in LanCaster county untill7B9 when • he. immigrated to Penn's Valley. His father, John Irvin, who was a native of Ireland,, came into this country, when quite young, and settled in Penn'a Valley in 1792. - lle was with out friends or fortune, but by industry and &ono-, • my; acquired' a competency. James was sent to school in the neighborhood, where he received • such an education as•at that time could be acquire ed in a lug school house in the country ; an edu cation however, like that which has lain the foun dation of futurmusefulnesi for many of the most prominent and distinguished men of the age in which-we live, and just such a one .as served to makohim what he, is.,-a highly ruitelligent, well inforined' man. .He,'lpay he_said to be in a great measure'self-taught—was never within the walls of a t,lollege as a student—can exhibit no diplo ma—hut give the inostSatisfactory evidence of the strength of- his mini and the cultivation of his talents in the shape of practical results. At the age of thirteen he was taken from school to as sist his father;who was largely engaged in vari ous branches of business. In this capacity his close application, strict integrity, and business talents, added to the - natural.generosity of his dis position.i soon gained fur him general esteem and insured him tho unlimited confidence of his lath er. At ti very early day he was intrusted with the exclusive control and management of such bran; . dies of business as are usually committed to per./ eons of mature experience, andsuch as few.young men of his years are capable of transacting -in a satisfactory manner. Put it was not on aecount of his business qualifications alone that he receiy-• ed popular favor., These, it is true..gave him the confidence of the people with whom . be dealt; but it was his candor and geaerasity—his dispo sition to favor and oblige, and his willingness 'to aid and assist others whenever an opportunity/or, ferd.—that won the goad will all around hies the poor and distressed always knew where M look . for assistance, and many a grateful heart rejitices now in the opportunityto contribute to the ad- , vancetnent of the man from whom so many acts of kindness have been received. He remained with his father until 1822, when with the okl gentleman's as,istance he purchased a stock of goods, and opened a store_near his na• live place, where he also carried on the business of farming In connection' with merchandizing, -In the course of a few years he' remitted to his father all the money that had been advanced to him, and subsequently depended,. entirely upon his own capital. So successful was he; and so ex F, teneive the patron.* he received, that in 1812 he was enabled to purchase aninterest in Centre Furnace and Milesbnrg Irom Works,' from Mr, Miles, who was onol - of the proprietors, and in . 1839, in conne,ctin With *Mr. Gregg, he heught the remaining interest of Gen. Houston in this 1 new enterprise: Lett. Irvin has beenas successful aS . his .neichbors, althugh , it Was confidently pre dictediah iro by some,wh d all their lives beenn it masters, that he must , - inevitably fill for want' of 1 expericnrer-that no o ne who had' not served a regular ,appreMiceishi at iron -works need ever pretend to conduct "th mto advantage. . • 4 The prOminent obj ction urged against hini is, r - , that being a successful iron:master, ho is'unfit to hold office. Now, hi success, instead of being an objection, is: really a strong argument in his ''.favor, for whilst he ha succeed in - all his various enterprises—some of t•hich require . .capacities of no ordinary character-I-those 'of big' own age who claim more than equa . mental endowments are far in the rear. If Gn. Irvin had acquired his property by, undue m ans, or in any , other. than by his own lione r sti patient industry—if he applied it'to selfish or i i rproper purposes — or if he prided himself upon eing a. we Iby man-Lthe ohjectio,natight have some force ; but the fact is just the reverse. Noan in the country applies a greater; proportion o' his property to berrevo and'charitible p rposes—there is no. ono lent, an I v more public Spirited, or ho keeps his capital more actively employedan , moreover, nouns is more .4uly rcpubhcan in his sentiments and practice. I' may safely. aSsert, witlout the .fear Of contradic tion, that he has never' been applied to in vain,- to comfit era to any ,pblic or charitable object. He has a ways respond d liberally, and cheerful e\u, ly to suet calls. But t has been said that he rj gkes.fro selfish inotiv Et; merely to carry favor' as a Politician. This, however, is far frOm the truth. lt is well know i . that benevolence 'is a prominent trait in his ch racier, and that it was his constant practice to ive liberally long before he was ever thought ofias a candidate for office. As a further proof - of the falsity of this charge, the writer knows. of instances of his benevolence • of which the public are ignorant and will over remain•so if his wishes are not disregarded. I would not have trade 'this allusion were it not that the opposite party through their' organ, are Constantly attributing hie benevolence to sinister motives. . - . _ But it has been said that Gen: Irvin is an aris tocrat. This is the most silly and siidieulous charge to make against one Who is farthest temo• ved from anything approaching . aristocracy. I know that numerous letters have been written to remote parts of the * State, giving the most lively and graphic descriptions of .palaces,' , palisades„ ..splendid equipage,' 'costly furniture,' and numt ous et cetera& runderstand from the contents of these letters that it is desired that 'the public shill infer that he ia a purse-I) . mnd aristocrat. If - such an impressiOn is sought to be made thereby, it may be well enough to give a true statethent of his styleiof it has been,- and as.it now is. For giira after he became a house bold er, he was the tenant of a one story log liaise that `had been built for the accommodation of a - miller whp attended his father's mill. He then built a stone house of ordinary size, and in the same style that farm houses in the country ete^usually built, in which he lived 'until he purchased an in. terest in the Id ilesburg Ironworks, where he after wards resided - for several years, part elm ti i e in s small two story frame house, with but one room and a kitchen on the first floor, and a correspond ing number of rooms above. Tue house was built for a traitor employed at the works. When he moved thence a - few years since, he took up hie quarters in the house in part of which he now re ; sides. As this building has beeitinade a matter of I public interest by his oPponepts, it may not be amiss to giie some accountt. I would not de scend to notice these things so foreign to the issue 'were it,not that they are magnified into matters of great importance by the other party. 'The house was built by a mechariii of , Bellefonte, according to his own plan, with r the design, of occupying it himself; and for a time it was so occupied. At present it is used as a boarding house, of which- Gen. Irvin and his lady are patrons.. A great per . tion - of the ground floor is taken up by two large store roans and an office. This, then, is the im inenee castle, with towering turrets, and frowning baltlements, that has figured so Conspicuously in the letters.of politicalcorrespondents. But, how is it about that "costly furniture'!" I would re spectfully assume the responsibility of inviting any one who is curious on that subject,' to visit his rooms, and I-can readily fancy the look of surprise after reading those flaming descriptions, at seeing there just suet' plain, ordinary furniture as may be found in most of the residences - .in the same town. Thus stands his ,aristocracy, so far as it is evinced by his style of living. - •• And since we.look in vain (or aristocraticalness id his manner of living, where shall we look for itl • Is tt"visible in his social intercourse ? Go ask the workmen in his employ. Ask" the laborer—the mechanic—if he shows any symptoms of aristoc racy in his intercourse with hirre t and he' will tell you it is seldom you meet's -ma' more plain and unassuming in his manners. Wherein, then,,do the members of the opposite pirty see grounds for such! Nowhere but in . their own fertile 'nations. It is useless for them to make such as 'sections anywhere within the bounds of Gen. Tr vin's acquaintance but their. object is fully on. t ierstood_thefir are intended for .the foreign mai. ket. They/are by no means profitable at home, in the 'neighborhood of the manufactory. Such 'expedients, it they were even foUnded on fact, are but ridiculous shifts 'in a contest involving public principles. What effect they might, in .such case, have upon that portion ,of the community who are governed more by 'party prejudices than by the power of . reason. I .do not,pretend to say; nor is it necessary to enquire, since they are without the shadow of truth. • It was certainly not in his Representative capa city, that ho acted the part of an , aristocrat, for his untiring efforts in Congress ;ace made in behalf of the interests of the poor mut He advocated :the theasures . which were best ea "'fluted to pro mote the welfare of the laborer and the mechanic. Ho,'entered Congress at the Extra Session of 1841, and ardong the important, quesAion's that then en gaged the atisntion of that body was one arising of /a plan suggested for the raising of revenue.- 44n this subject he differed . , with many of his poli tical friends. as it Was proposed to lay a duty upon tea and coffee, .aitd after using his'greatest exer tions to prevent a duty being imposed on these /articles. he made a speech against the measure and finally voted against the bill because they were enumerated therein among the articles proposed to be taxed—See journal of the House, page 303, Ist Session, 27th Congress. The duty . on tett and Mere having been stricken out in' the Senate and the bill sent hack to the lower House for its fur ther action thereon, he Noted in laver of the Sen ate amendment.—Journal of the House, page 482., Ist Session, 27th'Congress, it fell his lot to no- urinate alpersen from his dis rict to.till a vacancy occurring at West Point. Numerous applications were made in behalf of the sons of rich and influ• ential men, some coining from the circle of his i m m e di a te friends and relatives, but he chose to reject them all and prefer the eon of a poor man of his own town. it Asa politician Gen. Irvin has always been mo derate in his actions and liberal in .114 views. He has held, as most men virlact choose to feel an inte rest in public atfiirs, his own views' and opinions of men and measures and all that be has overdone in this respect has been with.nn eye single to pro. motion of the public welfare. He never manifest. ed any aspiration after of ice, brit war willing to. serve hts neighbors a in' public Capacity whenever he saw they really desired his services. He has shown clearly by his conduct towards Gen. ,Mar kle, who was successful ih obtaining the noinina mien in 1844. for which lie had been proposed as a candidate by his friends, thatin his political move ment he has no selfish ptirpases to gratify, but em inently strives to promote the Public good: Various attempts have been made to prove him unpopular in his own district. All the ingenuity of figuteS has been called into requisition in end-/a voritirr to solve this problem. Let me enquire into thissultj.‘ct fur A poment, and when the facts are correctly stated we will probably see that there is about as little truth in this allegation as in some others that have appeared in the au -1 thentic columns of the Locufoco papers. Several years ago, when the militia system was in its glory, military offices,tlthough by no means lucrative, were nevertheless eagerly sought after. Gen. 'lrvin held offices in the militiaand volunteer corps from 1821 to 1828. In the latter year ho was elected Brigadier General, and in 1832, to the office of Major General. .Thusatands his unpop ularity in the military affairs; and now let us see how he has succeeded in the 'civil department. In 1838 Ito was firs4nominated by the Whigs of this district as a candidate for Congress, in op position to W. W. Porter Dag', a gentleman emi.: nent in his profeision as a lawyer, and of great personal popularity.. At the previous congres, sional election, in 1836, Mr. Porter received a tin. jority over the Whig candidate of 1700 votes in the district,- but in 1838 his majority over Gen. IrVin was but 222. In 1839, a Speciadelection was held'to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Porter, when Gen. Irvin vo i la again placed upon the Whig ticket in opposition to Gen. Mc- Cullough, one of the strongest men in the district. At this election the Democratic majority was re in:teed to 131. In 1840 Gen. Irvin was again no minated byliis party, and was opposed by Gen. A. P. Wilson of HuntingdOn county, a gentleman of known ability as a lawyer and considered by his political friends as one of the . mast eligible candidates, especially at a time when personal ptipularity was an important consideration. The election resulted in giving Gen. Irvin a maj:irity of 4lo.votes in the district. In 1843, after a full opportunity had been afforded to lest his merits; he again appeared before the pcoPle as a candidate for reelection, and was opposed by Gen. 14103111- lough. Who had been elected over him in 1539. The result of this election fully proved his growing Popularity and the approbation of his previeus, course by his constituents, his majority being 1336 votes. It is well worthy of remark that in 1838 this district was the only one „which the Whig vote for Congressman exceeded' , the vote for Go, vernor. But his popularity within his own coun ty, which has always been considered one of the strongholds of bernocracy, is stilfmore remarkable. In 1840, Gen. WilsUica majority in Centre coun ty over Gen. Irvin, was 6'25, being. however, 169 votes less than the majority of Van I3uren over' the lamented Harrison: In 1841, Gov.-Porter's majority in Centre county was 1174; but in 1843, Gen. Irvin's majority. in. the same county, over Gen. McCullough, was 342, making a change of 1516 votes since the election of Gov. Porter, in 1841. Helice it may be observed how 'much of truth there isin the Laconic° statements in regard ter Gen. Irvin's unpopularity in his own district. • Gen. h.:yin's:speech on the tariff bill. proves his 'intimate acquaintance with the public affairs of this .state—that he knows her •resources and the means by which they may be made available end managed to public, advantage. Thus we see how unjust, all these charges are which - have been mode against him, and what ridiculous attempts are be ing' made to hale from public, view his true merits and his fitness in all resitects for the ,office in which the people,a this enlightened Coalmen. wealth are about to place him.. And now let us take a glance at the other side of the picture, and inquire what of Francis R. Shunk ? Where are the great public measures be has Originated, or awhich he has . taken a prominent 'part! 14.. hat of his private-7 . ga,— Have his talents insured him,soccess there! • • Francis R. Shunk was educated for the Bar, to which he was admitted, opened an office, and by a professional Card in the newspapers and a sign upon his window , shuttur, gave the usual indica tion's of a readiness and • willingness to servo the public in the capacity of an advocate.
