1868réf. 22863.02"My impression is … that Mr Wade will not offer me any place if he shall become Prest… You can hardly tell how we all feel humiliated & mortified here at home that the vote of Mr. Fessenden. is the subject of bets on the street by gamblers." HANNIBAL HAMLIN.Autograph Letter Signed to Sidney Perham May 9 1868 Bangor Maine. 2 pp. 5 x 8 in. In the midst of the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson former Vice President Hannibal Hamlin writes to Maine Congressman Sidney Perham who had voted for Johnson's impeachment. 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. 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. Complete Transcript Private Bangor May 9 1868 Friend Perham 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. I shall I trust forget neither. I notice all you so well say on the matter of which you write. I should like much indeed to see and confer with you for I have some facts which I could give you and some information which I cannot write to any one <2> My impression is from what I learn and what I will explain when I see you that Mr Wade will not offer me any place if he shall become Prest. If however he shall it will be time enough then to determine what I will or ought to do and before determining one way or the other I will probably see you. You can hardly tell how we all feel humiliated & mortified here at home that the vote of Mr. Fessenden. is the subject of bets on the street by gamblers. I feel too bad to express my feelings upon it. Yours faithfully H Hamlin Hon. S. Perham / M.C.

1885réf. 2007Philadelphia: S.n. 1885. Leather over boards. Oblong duodecimo. 54 leaves. Near fine. Leather over thin board with gilt-stamped upper board. Professionally restored with about half of the original gilt-ornamented spine retained. Wesson's name card laid down on front pastedown. A fantastic and eclectic trove of 19th century autographs collected by one Edward Wesson apparently associated with the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia. The autographs range from military figures to actors and actresses singers diplomats explorers and more. Some of the most notable figures whose autographs appear here include Ulysses S. Grant Edwin Booth William Tecumseh Sherman P. T. Barnum King David KalÄkaua of Hawaii Henry Ward Beecher David Ross Locke aka 'Petroleum V. Nasby' and Hannibal Hamlin Vice-President under Abraham Lincoln. There are also autographs from survivors of the tragic Jeanette Expedition to the Arctic including John W. Danenhower Louis P. Noros William F. C. Nindemann and George W. Melville. Among the other entertainment figures of the day to sign Mr. Wesson's album were actresses Maggie Mitchell and Emma Abbott and several others. Of the 54 leaves only 5 are blank on both sides with the remaining 49 having autographs on one or both sides and one autograph on the recto of rear free endpaper for a total of 57 autographs in all. The album originated at Philadelphia's Continental Hotel one of the grandest and most socially prominent establishments of the 19th century. Opened in 1860 and famed for hosting presidents generals and celebrities-including Abraham Lincoln who stayed there en route to his 1861 inauguration-the Continental stood as a national landmark until its 1924 demolition to make way for the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. Apart from a single tipped‑in signature from a Mayor of Mt. Vernon NY every autograph in this volume is penned directly onto its original pages. This is of vital significance because unlike albums assembled from clipped signatures from various sources this is a continuous artifact: the very book that moved through the hands of each signer. To hold it now is to experience that unique connection with each of the historical figures who once inscribed it. A truly remarkable artifact. (S.n.) unknown
1865réf. 551740Ship Island Mississippi 1865. Near Fine. Printed certificate completed in manuscript. 8" x 10". Two slight original horizontal folds near fine. This Union Army "Certificate to be Given to Union Volunteers at the Time of their Discharge" was issued for Robert Brown an African-American Private in Company C of the Second Regiment of the Louisiana Native Guard also known as the Corps d'Afrique. The document is Signed by Captain Hannibal Carter and the additional text was likely handwritten by him. Carter was Brown's African-American Company Commander. He formerly had been a Private in the first Black Confederate Army unit also known as the 1st Louisiana Native Guard. When Louisiana seceded from the Union New Orleans free Black citizens and Creoles of color initially supported the Confederacy and briefly offered their volunteer service as soldiers and nurses. When Union General Benjamin Butler occupied New Orleans with regiments hailing from New England his command was inundated with enslaved Blacks from the city as well as those who had fled their plantations. Butler who feared a possible Confederate campaign to retake the city formed several regiments composed of loyal Irishmen and Germans who had settled in the city and he also interviewed former Black officers of the Confederate 1st Native Guard. After being convinced they would transfer their allegiance to the Union he established the first Black military unit to serve in the Union Army: the Louisiana Native Guard. Its first regiment included many members of the former Confederate militia unit plus two additional regiments-over 2700 men in total-were raised from other "free men of color" and former slaves. This certificate was issued to Brown at Ship Island Mississippi on 8 March 1865. Robert Brown's unit the 2nd Regiment of the Louisiana Native Guard initially remained in New Orleans and Lafourche Parish where it guarded railroads and strategic locations while confiscating Confederate supplies. In January of 1863 Brown's company was deployed to defend Ship Island. In April a detachment from Ship Island boarded vessels to raid East Pascagoula Mississippi becoming the second Black unit to meet Confederates in combat. The Louisiana Native Guard was eventually renamed the Corps d' Afrique and later the 2nd Regiment was redesignated as the 74th Regiment of U.S. Colored Infantry. Hannibal Caesar Carter Brown's Company Commander was an original member of the Confederate Army's 1st Louisiana Native Guard. He was born in New Albany Indiana where he received his common schooling and eventually became a barber and tobacconist. He his father and his brother Edward were traveling to New Orleans on the Mississippi riverboat Vicksburg when Fort Sumner fell to the Confederates in April 1861. Sometime after their arrival both brothers joined the 1st Louisiana Native Guard. After the war Carter became a prominent Republican and served as Mississippi's second Black Secretary of State. A scarce survival. This certificate appears to be the only identified Civil War military document signed by an African-American man who had served in both the first Black Confederate unit and the first Black Union unit. unknown
