Sunday at Home, published by the Religious Tract Society, is condens ed the following biography: William Peuu stands out as one of the great characters in the history of England, lie occupies a more special and eonsicuous position in the history of the United States, being the founder of the Colony of Pennsylvania, which has acquired the title of the "Keystone State" of the vast Federal Union. Lord Macaulay, whose groundless prej udice against Penn is well known, as a historian savs, "Rival nations and hos tile sects have agreed in canonizing him. England is proud of his name. A great Commonwealth beyond the Atlantic regards him with a reverence similar to that which the Athenians felt for Theseus and the Romans for Quirnius. The respectable Society of which he was a member honors him as an apostle. His name has become, throughout ail civilized countries, a synonyme fir probity and philanthro py" The retrospect of his life, like that of other good and useful men, shows that God used him and prepared him in a remarkable manner as a means of blessing to his fellow-creatures; and as may also be observed in such instances, the Divine Providence wrought in his case through the instrumentality of hu man means and natural laws. He was born in 1664, on Tower Hill, London, where so many other illustrious men and women have looked their last upon this world with the headsman's axe shining bright beside them. His par ents were young, energetic and talent ed; his father, afterward Admiral Sir William Penn, being one of the greatest sea captains of the age—taking a place among the Drakes, Frobishers, How ards and others who first raised the British navy to a commanding position on the ooeans of the world. His moth er was a pretty and intelligent Dutch girl Margaret Jasper—the daughter of a rich Rotterdam merchant. Thus the union of British energy and Dutch shrewdness which surrounded Penn's childhood contributed some appropriate elemeutstoward the foundation of that broad, statesmanlike mind which distin guished the founder of Pennsylvania. At Chigwcll, a few miles from Lon don aud on the outskirts of Epping Forest, Penn's school-days begau in the picturesque, low-roofed, ivy-cover ed grammar-school founded in 1629 by the excellent Archbishop Horsnet, who concluded his inscriptions on the foun dation in the words, "I charge my schoolmasters, as they will answer it to God, that they bring up their schol ars in the fear of God aud reverence to ward men." It is somewhat a matter of surprise that not one of Penn's nu merous biographers, neither Clarkson nor Hepworth Dixon, nor even Janney, (the Americau writer of the most com plete life of him,) appear to be convers ant with, or at least to have noticed, the excellent arrangement for securing both the piety and the condition of the Chigwcll scholars which must so de cidedly have influenced the open-heart ed, bright-minded boy of tender con science. It was at Oxford, however, whither he went at the age of fifteen, that the strong religious bent was giv en to his character which lasted his life-long. At first his stay at the uni versity was marked by the esteem of all around him for his proficiency in classical studies and in manly sports and exercises. But an humble individ ual in the town, a Quaker Thom as Loe, now presented himself to the notice of Penn and other students, and by fervent exhortations to a life of spir itual religion succeeded in giving sev eral of them a distaste for some of the arrangements ordained by the univer sity authorities. Not only did young Penn and some companions now with draw themselves from the services of the college chapel, but when an order came down from the King prescribing the wearing of surplices by all the stu dents, these enthusiastic young men not only refused to obey the mandate themselves but set violently upon some of the collegians and tore their surplic&s from their shoulders. Such proceed ing could not, of course, be justified, and it resulted in painful consequences, especially to William Penn, who was expelled from the university. His father, greatly incensed against him, actually beat him and turned him out of doors; but, at the intercession of Lady Penn. the Admiral relented and tried gentler means to bring about his "reform," He was sent on the Continent for a while, and served a few weeks at sea with his father in the then war against the Dutch This change of life had for a time the desired effect, but during the Great Plague the awful ravages of the disease and the widely ditfused sense of danger again aroused in his mind deep and serious impressions of the importance of eternal things. Ad miral Penn, seeing the increased sobri ety of his son's mind, sent him to Ire land, then Lord Lieutenant, the Duke of Osmonde, being a personal friend and willing to advance the interests of the young man thus favorably com mended to his care, lift greatly dis tinguished himself, shortly after his arrival, in assisting to suppress a for midable mutiny at Carrickfergus, was recommende for promotion, and a brill iant military career seemed to be open before him. It is a curious circum stance that the only euthentic portrait of him is one taken at this period of his life, when, at his own desire, he was depicted by the artist as clad in a comprete suit of mail. His fine and pleasant features, expressive eyes and uiouth, long, curling locks, parted in the middle of the forehead, furnish a portrait which conveys a most agree able impression of its subject, although very little in accordance with popular ideas of him as a Quaker personage. This portrait is now in the possession i of the Historical Society of Pennsylva ' nia. [lt is evident from the foregoing that the writer is unacquainted wit! the far more interesting aud equally authentic* portrait of Penn, taken at a | later date, the recovery of which is due |to the exertions of Colonel Etting. ! A copy of this invaluable work is now —also thanks to. Colonel Etting—in the National Museum ol Philadelphia.J j Admiral Penn was apparently dis pleased at the probability of his son's I embracing a military life, and, to cut 1 short his stay at Dublin, dispatched him to certain family estates in the south of Ireland which required atten tion more efficient than could be given iby an ordinary agent. Here, while : visiting the near by city of Cork, Penn | ngain came in contact with the Quak j er Loe, and the result of their iuter j course was that the courtly soldier | l>ecame a decided convert to the de- J spised aud persecuted principles of the | Society of Friends. Penn began at i once to boldly assemble with the de ' spised sect, aud in consequence was | promptly committed to the Cork jail. Released by the command of the Duke of Osmonde, he returned to London, only to fall into fresh trouble. He was turned out of doors once more by the Admiral, who seems to have had all the proverbial testiness of an old sailor, and was shortly after committed to the Tower for eight months, at the instance of the Bishop of London, for writing a controversial pamphlet as sailing the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. During the next few.years he was constantly at war with the ecclesiastical authorities, a good part of his time behind iron bars. Even tually he came upon better times. Circumstances led to his becoming a legislator aud proprietor of the two Colonies of West New Jersey and Del aware, and his first essay in constitu tion-maker was for the first-named province. The New Jersey constitu tion was in advance of any colonial ar arrangements of the period. It includ ed manhood suffrage, vote by ballot, entire liberty of religious worship, elective judgeships and other very ad vanced political experiments. Whilst a portiou of these--as freedom of wor ship, for instance—have undoubtedly wrought great good in America, yet other parts of the scheme have resulted as time has roiled on, in very question able and disappointing fruits. Univer sal suffrage, without due limitations, is thought by many to throw the gov ernment of the States too much into the hands of the most violent politic ians rather than the wisest states men, whilst the periodic popular elec tion ot judges has produced a vast amount of judicial corruption, and has in some States paralyzed the power of the law in the hands of its chief execu tive officers. The glowing iheories of classic democracy which fascinated Penn and his friend Algernon Sydney, and through them so greatly influenc ed subsequent American politics, have by no means resulted in unmixed good ia the history of the great Republic. Penn learned before he died, by bitter personal experience, that those very ultra-democratic institutions fostered a spirit of gross ingratitude and head strong disrespect in the early colonists even already and within the life-time of their founder. But there could be no doubt that the very liberal and free arrangements made for the West New Jersey colo nists were a great boon at first, aud as contrasted with the bitter opppression then prevaleut in England and in ma ny parts of Europe. Hundreds of Qua kers and other non couformists hasten ed to secure allotments of lands in the regions now offered for colonization on such easy and so welcome terms. Agreeably to Penn's arrangements, all these emigrants were bound to treat the Indians in a kind, just and concilia tory manner. At the same time that he was engaged in organizing the New Jersey aud Delaware Colonies he was actively engaged in home politics, making on two occasions strenuous but unsuccessful efforts to place Syd ney—soon to perish Un the scaffold— iu Parliament. Deeply dissappointed at his electioneering failures, bis mind turned, more and more absorbingly to the great West, and he began to pro pose to the Government that the heavy arrears of debt owing by the State to his lather—£l(s,ooo,(worth £50,- 000 of modern money)—should be com muted into a grant of land in North America. Numerous obstacles were raised against carrying this proposal into ef fect ; but, aided by the powerful influ ence of the Duke of York and the Earl of Sunderland, a patent was at length made out and signed by the King— on March 4, 1681, —conveying to Will iam Penn the proprietorship of a vast region, nearly as large as England, stretching three hundred miles west ward from the noble river Delaware and with a breadth of about one hun dred and seventy miles, abounding in magnificent forests, fine mountain ran ges—amongst which all manner of minerals were richly imbedded—fer tile valleys, long navigable rivers and an inexhaustable supply of game, fish and {fowl. For this splendid region Penn proposed the name of New Wales, but the King's secretary, being a Welshman, strongly objected to this from some strange prejudice. The name of Sylvania was then suggested on account of its numerous forests. This name the king approved, but insisted on prefixing to it the name of the new proprietor—making it Pennsylvania. And, thus named, it still continues, having become one of the finest aud most prosperous commmouwealths in the world. But Penn did not regard the grant as an absolute title to the land be stowed upon him until he had also ob tained, by purchase or exchange, the consent of the original possessors, the aboriginal Indians. He wrote : "The soil belongs to the natives by the jus gentium, by the laws of nations; and it would be an ill argument to convert to "Christianity, to expel in stead of purchasing them out of those I countries." This noble policy of colonization distinguished William Penn's pro cedure, most honorably, from the cruel and rapacious course adopted to waid the aborigines, even by many of ! the Pilgrim Fathers and their highlv professing defendants, and also by the ! | settlers in many other parts of North j ' America. ' He sent out messengers and agents to precede him in the new colony, and special orders to conciliate the Ind'ans by a policy of justice and truthfulness. Toward the whites also, the new emi grants, he adopted a most literal and unselfish course; far too liberal, as events proved, aud for which, as a body, they made him a most ungrate ful return. Aided by Algernon Syd ney (as his American biographer, Mr. Janney, states) and by some in fluential members of the Society of Friends he drew up the draft of a constitution for the new colony which much resembled that of West New Jersey, being similarly free and demo cratic. Among its provisions were entire liberty of conscience, universal suffrage, paid legislators, popularly elected officers and various kindred democratic arrangements, some of which have in the loug run proved successful, whilst others have resulted ! mischieveously aud even disastrously to I the best interests of Pennsylvania and J ofother Stales which have adopted! similar political constitutions. In the autudin of 163:1 Pean sailed for America, his first business upon reaching bis colony being to conclude a treaty with the several Indian tribes inhabiting Pennsylvania. Under this treaty he made them liberal payments for the ceeded land and guarenteed them the right of occupancy, of pro tection and numerous other advan tages within the borders of his terri tory. The Indians, on their part, promised to live in love with William Penn —or Father Ouas, as they called him, (Onas signifying in their tongue a pen or quill)—aud his children so long as >iie sun aud moon should ' endure. Of this treaty Voltaire truly ' observed : "It was the only one made j between these people and Chri.-tians without an oath, and the only one that Dever was broken." Having concluded this business, and having laid out Philadelphia and made various provisions for the comfort and security of the colonists, Penn returned to England, his first visit to America having lessened rather than increased his wealth. lie himself wrote at thig period, "I am day and night spending my life, my time, my mon ey, and lam not a shilling enriched by this greatness." In fact, from first to last he was continuously out of pocket by the royal grant. Ilis position in England for the next few years was anomalous. The friend of the newly-crowned monarch, James 11., he was able to make interest with that ruler not only for the Quakers hut for non-conformists generally; but his position was misinterpreted by many and wilfully misunderstood by uot a few. He was between two fires, and suffered in consequence. Ilic faithfulness to duty availed him little against the sweepinsr, popular outcry which soon arose throughout the Kingdom at the acts of King James. The nation determined to uproot Catholicism, drove the monarch from the throne and invited the Protestant William of Orange to reiirn in his stead. A storm of wrath burst upon all of James's favorites, and upon Penn amongst them. Tie was repeatedly charged with being a Jesuit in dis guise and a traitor to the State, aud was eventually summoned before the Lords of the Council, and then before the King to meet these charges. He was able so far to vindicate himself as to be allowed his personal liberty, but for a time he was deprived of the Governorship of his colony, and Penn sylvania was placed under the mili tary control of Colonel Fletcher, Gov ernor of New York. At this time, too, his Irish estates became very unprofitable in consequence of the then existing rebellion, and he was re duced to comparative poverty; and while thus pressed by troubles from without he suffered still worse troubles from within in the death of his dearly loved wife Gulielma. After a while his fortune somewhat brightened, the Governorship of Pennsylvania being restored to him, and in 1699 he again visited the colo ny, remaining at Philadelphia two years. During this interval he pro cured the adoption of various reg ulations for promoting the social and religious amelioration of the condition of the negro slaves in the colony. Some German Quakers, especially an excellent man named Pastorious, repeatedly urged upon the Pennsvl vania Friends the Christian illegality of keeping slaves at all. These Germans were the first "Abolitionists" in America; but even their Quaker brethern were not prepared to adopt their enlightened views at that period. Nevertheless, the holding of slaves by Friends an* 1 others gradually de creased iu je Colony, and the condi tion of the negroes there was render ed comparatively comfortable. His financial resources were greatly embarrassed, aud to better himself he placed his circumstances before the colonists and asked them to grant him a small aunual allowance. But, instead of acceeding to this re quest, the greedy people only replied by attempting to still further dimiulsh his remaining rights as Governor, while simultaneously came to him news from England that his enemies were endeavoring to deprive him of his proprietorship of the Colony. Hasting back to London, he was able to maintain his rights; but from this time his pecuniary troubles increased thickly and fast. His chief business ; agent in America, one Philip Ford, | died, and it was then discovered that , —although a Quaker aud profcssedly ' virtuous mau—he had been for many 1 years cheating Penn in every possible way. On Ford's death his wife and son, to crown this villainy, preferred ! demands upon Penn for £14,000, ■ equivalent to treble that amount in modern money. Part of the fraud was ' eventually proved at law to be such, but £7OOO had to provided for. and how to raise that sum put Penn "to his wit's end." He asked a number of the | rich colonists, men whose fortunes he had made, to leuu him illoo each upon ample landed security. To tho great J shame of the Colony, this rcques* was I uot acceded to. James Logan, his sec retary wrote to him from Philadelphia, "I here are few who think it any siu t > haul what they can from thee," airl even th - (Jiiukurs, "the best Friends.' us Logan wrote refused the needed help. All 'his basetiess and ingratitude at j length began to wriug sorrowful and ' surprised regrets from the patient and ' too generous Governor. He wrote again to Logan, •♦Pennsylvania has i been a dear Pennsylvania to me, all | over, which few, with me, lay to ■ heart." In another letter be says, I "Never bad poor man my task, with ! neither men or money to assist me. 1 I am distressed for want of supplies." ! Soon after Le again complains to ' L>gm. "I never was so low and so I reduced. 1 iberef >re earnestly urge supplies." Then followed another letter in which he exclaims, "0 Penn sylvania ! what hast th .u uot cost me! About £30,000 more than I ; ever got bj it, my straits and slavery ; here, and my child's soul almost •' j The latter allusion is to his second | POU, William, who had not turned | out satisfactorily, and who being sent lto Pennsylvania, bad been treated i harshly by tbe colonists aud so ren j dered worse than before. Logan .vrote back to Peun about this pciod that if he could bear such ingratitude as he was then experiencing from Pennsylvania it would "uppear a fratiauel, something above human." Penn's was, indeed, an almost superhuman patience, and his dispo sition was rarely forgiving, but the troubles bearipg upon him so sorely , began to break him down. Gradual ly his mind gave way, and he be came unable to attend to his busi- , ness or correspondence. He began , negotiations with Queen Anne's ( Government for the sale of his inter- ( est in the Colony, but his health , was too far weakened to admit of , his completing the arrangement, j In 1712 he wrote his last letter to i his faithful Logan, in which hesiid, ] "My excessive expenses upon Penu- j sylvania have sunk me so low, aud , nothing else." He then expressed grief at the ingratitude of tbe col onists, both the Friends and others, ] and adds piteously, "But I am not to ( be heard, cither in civil or spiritual ( matters, until I am dead." This sad ( letter was his last efTort of the kind. For six years longer he lingered on, ( but in a condition of painful mental , prostration. He still enjoyed the | company of children and played , heartily with them as if a child , himself again. And he coutinued to | the last kind aud irentle to all around | hiui But the fine intellect, the , bright and lively genius, had depart- | ed. He was the wreck of his ( former self. At length, on the 30th of July, 17 IS, death released him froiu bis pitia ble condition, aud he quietly passed awav into a better world, "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary at rest."

From Philadelphia Press, Oct. 23.] There was no lack of enthusiasm at the Independent Republican meeting at Industrial hall last night, while in numbers it fairly rivalled the great mass meeting which welcomed Gen eral Beaver to Philadelphia three weeks ago. The great hall was com fortably filled through the early part of the evening, and after the entrance of General Lear with the young Inde pendent Republican club the crowd that flooded in packed the main body of the hall, filled the galleries, and left only standing room for hundreds EX-ATTORNEV GENERAL LEAR'S BPKEECU. In a letter written by mo to Mr. Marshall, I stated that "a party without principle bas no claim upon the suff rages of intelligent men; but a party whose practices are entirely at variance with its professed principles is unwor thy tbe support of honest men." These propositions have been subjected to some discussion as applied to the pres ent campaign in Pennsylvania, and it is important to ascertain whether they will bear the test of tbe critical exami nation, and still more important to know whether any party is embraced in cithar proposition as shown by its manner of conducting this campaign. THE CONVENTION Or MAY 10. The Republican convention which met at Harrisburg on the 10th of May, adopted a platform which was princi pally devoted to party ethics, the dis pcusatiou of political patronage and the election of delegates to nominating conventions. These declarations of political conduct arc peculiar in i eing principally prohibitory aud denuncia tory of practices no longer to lw toler ated in the party management. These declarations of principles were the out growth of a popular demand, so wide spread and emphatic that the party had no hope of sustaining itself with out their adoption. The new depart ure was fairly inaugurated on paper but we were tauntingly told that these re forms were promised for the future on ly, and that after attaining what they were intended for—the success of the present ticket—they.would be repudia ted or neglected, but never performed. If these principles are good for the fu ture tbey are imperatively demanded now, and we insist upon their practical application to the management of the party in the present campaign.

No man ever regarded him as i beinjj in the Senate for any of the pur | poses for which the office of United i States Senator was created. He has not one qualification for the duties of the position. He fails to appreciate the intelligence which guides or to dis cern the motiyes which impel the peo ple in their political movements. He is rich and ambitious, and in politics is bold, stubborn, unscrupulous and stupid. At his nativity "The midwife laid her hands on his thick skull with this prophetic blessing: 'Be thou dull.' » But he understands the objects he wishes to accomplish and selects trained ano ?k l.» d agents to execute his purpose®. Il<- has great faith in the sovereign »tiieacy of money, and while he uses his own with liberty, he draws trom all available sources to swell the uiuou .t. With him tho purchase of a man for political uses is as much a mutter of business as the purcha.«e of a horse to the ordinary citizen. He prefers to trade rather than purchase, and thus pay for po litical services lu kind rather thau money. GUV. BE I Vein's CAIfDIDAOY. General Beaver is the standard hearer of the party iu tbis campaign, ttDd it is his business to see to it that the campaign is conducted on the principles and according to the regula tion* anuouuced in the platform upou wh.ch he siaudn. If he has not the moral courage aad intellectual capaci ty to mquld and direct his campaign, or at 1.-ast to see that it is done ac cording to the party creed, he is deficient in the very elements required to be the chief magistrate ot a great Commonwealth. In this respect bis failure has been most lamentable and extraordinary. He has absolutely been absorbod by and lost bis ideutity in J. Donald Cameron, who has not the discernment to see that he is too great a load for any man to carry. He has shown in this campaign that he baa accumulated an immense mass of ignorance of the real sentiments of the people, of the most extraordinary density. His arrogance, bis dictato rial manner, his selfishness and his despotic will hare long been known and appreciated. His vassals bavo long writhed under his relentless lash with ill-concealed impatience. But never, until this campaign, have his flashes of stupidity illumined the political firmament with such startling effulgence. Every effort which has been made to detach him from the contest, and especially from General Beaver, has received big imperious ' veto. He will bear to nothing and submit to no terms which will leave him out of the contest, and which will not make the success of Beaver his endorsement. His motto is, "Aul Ccesar aut nullus." If tbe people do not approve his cause by their votes for Beaver, he has no further use for the party, and will leave it defeated rather than take himtelf out of the contest. Is their no effort to the confidence of strength given by a popular endorse ment ? Is their manhood enough left iu the people to depose this haughty tyrant ? "There was a Brutus once who would have brooked The eternal devil to keep his stato in Rome. As easily as a king." UNLOAD CAMERON. But in the abscence of that Brutus, I the people must dethrone his autocrat. While Beaver is a better man, be is so inextricably bound to the fortunes of Cameron that they must stand or fall together. This is admitted by all intelligent people, but while some say they can both be carried through, and others that they must both fall, there is a third class of Republicans who believe that they can bo so sep arated bf voting with a mental res ervation, -or some otbfer electoral jugglery, that Cameron will not be eudorsed, approved or strengthened by the election of General Beaver. Cam eron is to be unloaded, and that is to be done by some legerdemain by which he shall be left by the wayside and Beaver go on to a successful end. But they are so inseperably connected that this cannot be done. He must, however, be unloaded and we propose to do it, if we have to dump the cargo and|car together in a heap so that wheels and axles, sceptre and crown, buckler and shield, with all the paraphernalia of sovereignty shall cumber the way in one promiscuous indistinguishable mass. I voted with and worked for the party when it bad no rewards to give and no hope of immediate success. But it was in the right and the people were not too slow to see it, and when tbey do see it they move with a majes ty and power which sweeps away parties, men and party sbiboleths as forests fall before a'cyclone. They know their rights and" are jealous of their invasion, and when they see tbem usurped by a proud imperious dictator, the old spirit is aroused, which in this country has always spurned the shackles of an autocrat. Without freedom there can be no Republicanism, and the party whose standard is borne by John Stewart represents the freedom which dare* hurl its defiance in the face of Penn sylvania's haughty lord. The gage has been thrown down, the about has gone up, the proclamation has goL© forth, and the bugle blast has been blown for the conflict between the people and the one-man power. Un der which flag do you fight—for the people or against them T For liberty or slavery ? If for the people, your cause will triumph, for the people will be free. It is no victory to suc ceed in the wrong, and our watchword is, "Our country and liberty, God for the right!" Make yourself healthy and strong. Make life happy by useing Brown'* Iron Bitters.
