This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Joel Barlow Sutherland was born in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States. He was the son of Daniel and Jane Sutherland, Scotch immigrants.
He attended common schools and graduated (1812) from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School.
After studies he enlisted in the War of 1812 as assistant surgeon in the "Junior Artillerists of Philadelphia, " and before the end of the war became a lieutenant-colonel of rifles in the state militia. While the conflict was still in progress he entered politics and was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly as an insurgent Democratic-Republican three successive times, 1813-15. When war ardors had somewhat cooled, the voters forced him to return to medical practice and the none too pleasant duties of lazaretto physician at the port of Philadelphia.
He still thirsted for politics, however, and, concluding that law would aid him more than medicine in his striving, he studied law and was admitted to the bar, March 30, 1819. In two years he was back in the legislature, serving in the lower house until 1825; during the last year of his service he was speaker. In 1822 and 1824 he had been defeated for Congress but in 1826 he was elected both to that body and to the state Senate.
He sat in the Senate through one session and then resigned to enter Congress in December 1827. He retained his seat for five terms, interspersing periods in Washington with legal work in Philadelphia as deputy prosecuting attorney for the county, 1830, 1832, 1833, and associate judge of the court of common pleas, 1833-34.
In 1835 he sent his resignation from Congress to the governor, to enter upon a longer term as judge of the common pleas, but for some reason the resignation did not take effect and he remained in the House. There as in the legislature he proved himself specially adept at persuading his fellow members in private conversation to vote for his measures.
He wrote a Manual of Legislative Practice and Order of Business in Deliberative Bodies (1827), to be used in state legislatures, which went into a fifth edition as late as 1853, and a Congressional Manual (1839). In 1831 he received fifty-four votes in opposition to Andrew W. Stevenson, the successful candidate for speaker. As member and chairman of the committee on commerce he devoted himself to river and harbor development and to the promotion of Philadelphia projects, especially the navy yard and the Delaware Breakwater.
Though he considered himself an enthusiastic Jacksonian, he was so loyal to Pennsylvania interests that he became an ardent protectionist and opposed Jackson on the Maysville road veto and the veto of the bill rechartering the United States Bank. Because of these heresies he was defeated in 1836 by another Democrat and when he ran again in 1838, on the Whig ticket, he was once more defeated. No preferment came his way thereafter except indirectly, by the appointment of two of his sons to the army and marine corps and one to the civil service.
He maintained a law practice, served on the board of trustees of Jefferson Medical College (latterly as its president), and died in 1861.

He was an unsuccessful Whig candidate for reelection in 1836 to the Twenty-fifth Congress and for election in 1838 to the Twenty-sixth Congress. He was a member of the Democratic Party who represented Pennsylvania in the United States House of Representatives (1827–1837).
He seems to have been dynamic, brilliant, and impulsive without possessing much depth or a great amount of tact or good judgment. He was also a good debater and skilful in parliamentary procedure.
On April 13, 1815, he married Mary Read.
