he professes, has liecn acquired ty hard toil
mill hiiiif-t iiidiisfry, his only inheritance
lieint; Mint which he, in common willi every
other poor and industrious hoy can thiim,
namely, the right of working out his own
foitiflie in this free nnd glorious country.
That such a hum can he trusted in this
gn at crisis, by our farmer, mechanics,
laborers and others, needs no comment.
Col. Hoffman does not claim his election on
the grounds of his lieing a Democrat or n
lh publican, luil on the high ground that
his country is superior to party. That he
will he opposed hy the lheckinridgc gang,
who have partitioned all the officers among
themselves, is certain :
Col. II. P.. Hoffman, the I'nion candidate
fur A'-enil'ly. is a native of l.ykens Valley,
Dauphin countv. where, hv his own energy
1 and industry, he became one of the ablest
I mid most iioiiuhir school teachers ill the
limit v. and his inanv friends there will he
glad to hear that his'nicrit have not been
overlooked in this, his adopted county.

rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Some lillecn year au'o he came to this
count v and worked in Mr. l"ineriehs Woo
len Factory. Soon after he worked lor Ira
T. Clement and Major Mart, willi pick and
shovel, on the I reunion liailroad. in: re

Mr. It. takes h deep interest in the wel
fare of the young and rising generation, in
cst:ililishniLT Sunday schools, literary and
lel.ating societies, and is always ready t(
Hive a helping liami to young men. lie 1
'ood scholar and well read, mi honest am
upright man. highly -termed for his course
in private lite, tuiu generous unci n
character.
Mr. Hoffman has never been a raiud party
man. In lt ne is pttlcctiy wining in eon
cede' to the South all tin ir lust rights, m
in favor of using all iustiliahh: means m
crushing out this unholv, wicked ami inex
disable rebellion. To nceomiilish this he is
in favor ot usim; tin; slaves ol rebels and
traitors to perform the menial services w hich
are now performed hv our gallant soldiers,
and thus add to the comfort mid ellieiem
of our volunteers.
If Mr. II. should he elected to the T.cgi
lature, for which he has been nominate
without anv effort on his part, he will mak
oik' of the most intelligent, able and i in r
tretic lneliibers. His whole power and in
