Andrew G., Curtin, the Candidate of the
UniOn'p,4ty fqr Governor of Pennsylvania,
.was born on .the 22d of April, 1817, hi
Belle
fonte,' a bearitiful village in the eon* 'of
Centre, so palled because it lics in the very.
heart of : th 4 Commonwealth. This' , , county
'is 'au-ay froni the grealroate's between the
North and the
w South, the Etistund the Weit,
,
andthu.4itis not Ali ellknowna,s itoughtto'be,
Int, it is eiceedingly rich and lovely, abound
ing in ores. thrLile valleys; and fine streams.
The rare facilities of thiS region attracted to
it, - at an early day, the energies and the resi
dence of Roland - Curtin, who for 40years was
a leading iron Manufacturer'in Centre 'coun
ty, liccunirdated a competent estate, 'and has
left three sons, brothers of Andrew, engaged
in. the great staple business of TennsylVania.
*Andrew G. Curtin .e..nriesof first-rate
Penn
sylvania stock. His father' married the
daaghter bi Andrew Gregg; who was one of
the great men of TennsylVaniti, in the early'
.part of this century. He was a representft
--tive from the interior of the State, in the
•first Corgress under the Constitution; and sat
in the-House ofteprentatives for eighteen
successive - years. He was then transferred
to' the United States Senate, and served
term of six years. Andrew ' dregg
steady supporter . of !the Administration of
the earlier, P'residents, and especially}' of Jef
ferson and Madison. ' He offered in Congress i
the famous war resolutions which f)ree - eded.
.?aitr last'eo ufl let with Great Britain, and which
, elicited the eloquence of Henry •Clay and
John Randolph. After his retirement from
;Congress, he acted as Secaetary of the Com
monwealth during the administration of Gov.
•Jorseph Holster. Every,. Pennsylvanian of
:Middle age will remember the fierce and 'de
cisive State canvass, , of 1823,' when the old
Federal party, tinder the lead of Andrew
'Gregg as their candidate for.Governr, made
it lust: stand for victory and existence, and
was defeated' - by the 'old Pennsylvania De
maetacy ander,folui.indrew Stilze. There
eau• be no doubt that the grandson, :Andrew',
Gregg Curtin, standard-bearer as he' is of the
Teat Democracy of the State of this day, will
'fare better than his grandfather. • ,

irr the - Courts of the counties of Centre, Clear
Mifflin and Clinton. • HiS great infor
mation; his vigorous mind, 'and, his candor
recommended ,hini,to the courts ; his winning
stylq made him powerful' with juries.. He
rapidly became one of the best - and most
rising young men in Central Pennsylvania.
A ,man.with the gifts and temperament, of
Andrew G. Curtin, could not fail to be large
ly interested and" concerned in public-affairs.
Strikingly amiable, genial, and warn-heart
ed, of in - Minot - is, Vick and extensive intelli
gence, of the most engaging address, endow
ed With a fluent. facetious and •captivating
eloquence. and instinct with old PennsylVa
nitt traditions- of policy and patriotism, he
threw himself at once-into those political
controversies which, as Efurke tells us, Are
the noblest emphirments of the, Cultivated
man. = •
He was en ardent, and. thorbngh-going
Whig, and,in 1840 he took , an active part in
that 'enthusiastic campaign.which made Gen.
Harrison President of the tinited:Statei.—
In 1844, he was a fervent adherent of the it.;
lustrious candidate of the Whigs and' he
stumped all central Pennsylvania for HERity
CLAY, and Protection to American Industry.
In thnfltrugcle, Mr. Curtin first acquired
MS, Wide-spread reutation for effective and
resistiesi popular - eloqaence.., There'Weil not
a celintY from the Susquehanna to the Alle
ghenies, in which the name Of Andrew G.
Curtin ever failed teattrect the very_ largest
croWil, who eagerly • gathered: tit enjoy , the
feasts of wisdom arx4'wtt,'of huitor and path
os, of poetry, statistics, story, ,fti,,mument and
imagery, which he spread out in - his glowing
andmelodions periods.
In 1848 he was placed on the Whig electo
ral ticket, and again traversed Many sections
of the. State .in behalf of ,General Zachary
Taylor. He was an original supporter 'ofthe
nomination of General ,Win,field, Scott, and
in 1852 he was again placed oil the etcetera
ticket, and worked with his usual zeal to car
ry for the : hero of the valley of
MeXico. Indeed, .Mr. Curtin was at ,all
tinted a thOrongh inbred Pennsylvania Whig,
devoted to all those conservative andlumane
ideas which distifigniihed.that . party which
now sleeps in the grave of Clay and Webster.
He is, by training anal by mature conviction,
a believer in systematic :and efficent protec
tion, in 'liberal infernal ; itnPforements,..in
the ' polictOf encouraging well-paid and wide
diffused tree 'American labor.. Such a Whig
could not fail to be a leader ancl'a counsellor
of the party, andaccordingly," Mr: Curtin

In the o year T. 1854, Colonel :Curtin, was
strongly urged by' the -counties of central
Pennsylvania for .the GO•ierriorshiti - and
when - . Hen.- Janos Pollock of Northumbet
land, received the notnimition, Curtin was
made Chairman of the State Central Committe.

aPpOinted Col. Curtin Secretary Of the Cent,
