On his mother's side he is descended from Governor Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch 'Gov. ernor of New Amsterdam. His: educa tion was principally derived at old Col umbia College, where he graduated with, .distinction, and- subsequently. studied law but.the management of his immense family estate .has monopolized• most of his business time. in 1843 the Whig party.,elected him ,as a member of, the Twenty-eight Congress. In 1847 ,he 'was chosen Lieutenant-Governor of New York State.
