S. Sen ator from this State, though of Democrat antecedents, he wasa strong anti-slavery inan and in the fierce contests which raged on the question of slavery during his term in Congress, he was always at his post, always true to his principles and always brave and outspoken in his warfare upon the great cause of the country - slavery. Upon the expiration of his term in 1862 he was succeeded by Totton and returned to pri vate life. In 1865 he was appointed by President Johnson, Governor of Utah Territory, in which position he acquitted himself with credit and to the satisfaction of the Government, failing health compelled the resignation of his position and he was returning to his old home in Kenosha when death over took him.

In his death the State has lost a good citizen and one who did her and the whole country valuable service.
