188236689Maine 1882. 2 pp plus integral blank leaf. Old hinges from prior mounting on blank last page. Very Good.<br/><br/> Writing to "Hon. F. Haines" Hamlin explains that he has "no time to look over files of letters to see what I can find that you would want." He's "very busy in getting our house in order." He will take a look when he finishes that task but advises "I have parted with all that I could spare of Prest. Lincoln and have none from Hayes."<br/> He promises to review his "many letters from such persons as you name but the difficulty will be in finding just such as I would deem proper to make public. But I will see what I can do. I do not think it necessary at all for you to come here. Yours truly H. Hamlin."<br/> Haines 1840-1925 was a successful businessman and developed an impressive side business in coins and other collectibles. The Library of Congress owns a few of the correspondence between the two men. Hamlin of course was Abraham Lincoln's first Vice President and an early Republican. He was dumped from the 1864 ticket in favor of Andrew Johnson. unknown books

Except for the choice of matting Very Good. <br/><br/> Vice President Hamlin's Letter suggests the impotence of his office. Writing from his home or law office in Hampden he appeals for help from his fellow Maine politician E.B. French. French had just completed his term in Congress; President Lincoln appointed him Second Auditor of the Treasury on August 3 1861. Hamlin is anxious to correct the bureaucratic snafu for which at least in part he seems to blame himself. These efforts would prove successful: Executive Proceedings of the Senate show J.C. Peterson's name on a list proposed by the Secretary of War for appointment as Captain of the Fifteenth Regiment of infantry as of August 5 1861; Lincoln officially nominated all those on the list on December 6 1861; and Peterson was among the appointees receiving the Senate's blessing. Executive Journal of the Senate 37th Congress 2d Session Dec. 12 1861. <br/> Originally a Democrat and a long-time political fixture in Maine Hamlin left his Party as an opponent of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. He was elected Maine's Republican Governor in 1857; in 1860 Lincoln picked him as his running mate in an effort to unite northern Unionists.<br/> John C. Peterson 1831-1867 a homeopathic physician and surgeon is listed in the 1850 Federal Census as a 19-years-old physician. He enlisted on April 15 1861; and served as Captain in the 15th U.S. Infantry Regiment from August 1861 to August 1864. By early 1863 he was attached to Gen. Rosecrans' staff as Assistant Inspector General Army of the Cumberland. His death is listed in the Coroner's Inquest Reports of Seneca County New York as suicide by self inflicted gunshot wound on October 7 1867. THE NEW-ENGLAND MEDICAL GAZETTE. VOLUME V.

A rare illustrated work first published in 1796 plentiful in delicately hand-colored engravings of native peoples from around the world. This the second part was probably written solely by Karl Seidel a teacher at the Tochterschule Public Girls School in Dessau. This Gallery of People was designed as a picture book for young children not yet in their early childhood to expand their knowledge and satisfy their curiosity about faraway lands. The first part not included here included nations professions and items that were sorted in alphabetical order from Abbess Admiral Amazon and Armenians to Dwarf Gypsy and Wizard. The lives portrayed are wide ranging and include simpletons butchers slaves gardeners and fools. This second part organizes the peoples usually a man woman and native all with appropriate props by continents: Asians Africans Americans and Indians and Europeans. The illustrations for Native American peoples are of high interest not only for their expert work but for the range of tribes and geography even the Acadian peoples of Canada are represented. This type of book departs from the common ABC books as the pictures and text have a social studies meaning.

Hamlin correctly speculates that he would not be offered a position if Johnson was removed and replaced by Benjamin Wade. The office of vice president remained vacant after Johnson became president upon the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Under the Presidential Succession Act of 1792 the president pro tempore of the Senate then Radical Republican Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio would become president if Johnson were removed from office.</p><p>Hamlin then discusses the Republican party's embarrassment over whether Maine's Senator William P. Fessenden Lincoln's Treasury Secretary from July 1864 to March 1865 would vote on impeachment. Ten former Confederate states had not yet been readmitted so 27 states were represented in the Senate with 54 members. To meet the required two-thirds majority 36 senators had to vote to convict. On May 16 1868 a week after the present letter Fessenden committed political suicide. Believing that prosecutors had manipulated the presentation of evidence and erred in basing impeachment on violation of the questionable Tenure of Office Act Fessenden joined all nine Democrats and nine other Republicans to vote for acquittal. In each of three votes the count was 35 to 19 in favor of conviction - one short of the necessary two-thirds majority.</p><p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p><i>Private</i></p><p> <i>Bangor May 9 1868</i></p><p><i>Friend Perham</i></p><p> <i>I have your very kind letter of the 4th and I feel truly how deeply I am indebted to you for your confidence and friendship.

He represented Maine in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1843 to 1847 and in the U.S. Senate from 1848 to 1861. Hamlin opposed the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 and left the Democratic Party for the newly formed Republican Party. In 1860 he was elected as Abraham Lincoln's Vice President. In 1864 to give Lincoln a southern running mate he was replaced by Andrew Johnson.
