Soon after, he moved to Pennsylvania, and there continued his studies with D. C. Barrett, of Erie, un- til his admission to the bar. In 1834, he settled in Warren, Penn., and engaged in the practice of his profession. In some features of legal knowledge he was almost without superiors, while his reading was so extensive and so carefully conducted that few jurists had a more profound knowledge of the general law. In 1836, then but twenty-five years of age, he was sent to the Legislature, and in 1837, also 1838, he was re-elected to the same position. During his term of service he warmly espoused the cause of common schools. Upon leaving the Legislature, he resumed the practice of his profession, and was thus occupied until 1850, when he was elected to Congress on the Democratic ticket. Upon the repeal of the Missouri Compromise Aet, in 1855, he changed his allegiance to his former party, and became a champion of Republican principles. In 1861, when the Pres- ident issued his call for troops, he disregarded his private interests, and directed his energies to the recruiting of soldiers for the Union. His efforts created the 58th Regt. of Penn. Vols., over which organization he was appointed Colonel. The regiment was soon ordered to the front, and did efficient service in N. C. for a lenghty period. On ac- count of ill-health, in 1863 our subject resigned and returned home. Regaining his health after a time, he resumed practice at the bar with great success and profit. In 1872, he was unanimously nominated and elected to the Forty-third Congress, where he made an hon- orable record, and served with distinction as a member of the Committee on Territories and war expenditures. He was renominated for the Forty-fourth Congress in the "tidal wave" year of 1874. but was defeated by Dr. A. G. Egbert, by a majority of eleven on a total vote of 20,765. He was one of the founders of the First National Bank of Erie, and one of the chief organizers and builders of the Dunkirk & Venango Railroad, and in all public enterprises he was ready to co-operate.
