Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Winfield Scott Hancock, Major-General, U. S. An;, Embracing His Parentage, Boyhood Days, Home Training, Etc: Also, the Life and Services of Hon. William H. English, the Experienced Statesman and Man of Business, With the Leading Political Events of His Time UR design in this work has been to delineate in as faithful a manner as possible the lives and characters Of the two men now prominently brought before about fifty millions of American people. These men represent one of the great parties of the day, and as both parties look with intense interest upon their respective candidates, and as many, for the purpose of debasement, malignantly seek out the petty defects of political Opponents, while others the true character, that they may judge of the abilities of the men from whom they must Choose, 'we desire to portray in full the life of our candidate and repre sentative, as he is, with all his faults and failures, also as he stands to-day - a fine specimen of physical manhood, a noble, true Character, having a record in our country's annals as Clear as crystal and a name synonymous with that of bravery and honesty. This is the glorious chronicle in which he has always been proclaimed by the history of our country. As a Union soldier, we can look at General Hancock en gaged in the battles of Gettysburg, and others in which he became conspicuous, and for which services he received the thanks of Congress on the goth of May, 1866. Of Hon. W. H. English, his speeches and life, and advocacy of the fundamental principles of our Government, may suffice for his defense. Intellect ually, he ranks high - having but few superiors in our country - his speeches, delivered in Congress during the last two years of his membership in that body, and the fact that while Speaker of the Legis lature no appeal was ever taken from his decisions, verify the above statement. In purity of style and excellency of spirit and diction, we have the impress of the scholar and statesman.
