American lawyer and politician; born in Germany Dec. 16, 1825. In 1832 his parents emigrated to the United States and settled in Pottsville, Pa. He studied law, and after he had been admitted to the bar founded (1848) the "North American Farmer," which was published in Philadelphia. In 1852 he resigned his position as editor and established himself as a lawyer in Philadelphia.
