Henry Haight was born in the state of New York in
1825. As a young man, he attended Yale University and entered the practice of
law, eventually moving west where he prospered and earned a solid reputation.
Haight never held public office of any kind before he was elected Governor of
California on the Democratic ticket, beginning his term of office in 1867. The
state debt was reduced under Haight's administration. He also ended the
government subsidies that had been paid to silk and woolen manufacturers
throughout the state for many years. He is credited with establishing the State
Board of Health and the University of California, which had only been in the
planning stages until his term of office. In 1878 Henry Haight fell ill at his
office in San Francisco. He immediately went to a Russian bathhouse and it was
there that he died.

POL168. Curtiss, Madison, Wisconsin. Jeremiah McLain Rusk (1830-1893), 15th
Governor of Wisconsin (1882-1889). Here is some information on Rusk:
Rusk was born in Malta, Ohio. He was a member of the Republican Party. He began as a planter, then turned to innkeeping and finally to banking before the Civil War. During the war, he received a brevet appointment as a general and saw action with the 25th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry.
After the Civil War, he became a congressman in the United States House of Representatives. There, he was chairman of Committee on Invalid Pensions (forty-third congress). He then ran as a Republican for Governor of Wisconsin, an election he won. His most noted act during his governorship was when he sent the National Guard into Milwaukee to keep the peace during the May Day Labor Strikes of 1886. The strikers had shut down every business in the city except the North Chicago Rolling Mills in Bay View. The guardsmen's orders were that, if the strikers were to enter the Mills, they should shoot to kill. But when the captain received the order it had a different meaning: he ordered his men to pick out a man and shoot to kill when the order was given. This led to the Bay View Tragedy, in which a number of workers were killed; Governor Rusk took most of the blame.
In 1889 he resigned his governorship and accepted the new cabinet position of Secretary of Agriculture in the Benjamin Harrison administration. He lived, died and was buried in Viroqua, Wisconsin.

POL223. Hoag & Quick, Cincinnati. Charles Anderson (June 1, 1814 –
September 2, 1895) was first a Whig and later a Republican politician from Ohio.
He served briefly as the 27th Governor of Ohio.
Anderson was born in Louisville, Kentucky, to a prominent family; his father was an aide to the Marquis de Lafayette during the American Revolution. Anderson graduated from Miami University in 1833, studied law and was admitted to the Ohio bar. He moved to Dayton, Ohio, where he began a law practice and was later elected county prosecutor. In 1844, he was elected to the Ohio Senate and made a name for himself as an advocate for black rights.
He then moved to Texas for health reasons. He gave an impassioned speech in San Antonio in December 1860, strongly opposing secession and calling for the "perpetuity of the national Union." Angry local pro-Confederates threatened Anderson and then arrested him without charge, but Anderson escaped and returned with his family to Dayton.
President Abraham Lincoln sent Anderson on a pro-Union speaking tour of Europe, after which Anderson accepted command of the 93rd Ohio Infantry and was commissioned in the Union Army as a colonel. Badly wounded at the Battle of Stones River, Anderson resigned his commission and returned to Ohio to recuperate. He was elected the seventh Lieutenant Governor of Ohio in late 1863 and took office the following year.
He became Governor on August 29, 1865, upon the death of Governor John Brough. Anderson served less than five months, until January 8, 1866. Ohio historian Dwight L. Smith wrote that his brief term in office as "uneventful... [and] the services he performed were merely routine." After leaving the governorship, Anderson resumed his legal practice and moved back to Kentucky, where he died at the age of 81.
Anderson's brother, Major Robert Anderson, was also a United States Army officer, notable for his unsuccessful defense of Fort Sumter at the outset of the American Civil War. Another brother, William Marshall Anderson, was a noted explorer, politician, and briefly a member of the New Virginia Colony of ex-Confederates in Mexico during the reign of Emperor Maximilian. CDV.

Fernando Wood (June 14, 1812 - February 14, 1881) was an American politician
of the Democratic Party and mayor of New York City; he also served as a United
States Representative (1841–1843, 1863–1865, and 1867–1881) and as Chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means in both the 45th and 46th Congress (1877–1881).
A successful shipping merchant who became Grand Sachem of the political machine
known as Tammany Hall, Wood first served in Congress in 1841. In 1854 he was
elected Mayor of New York City. Reelected in 1860 after an electoral loss in
1857 by a narrow majority of 3,000 votes, Wood evinced support for the
Confederate States of America during the Civil War, suggesting to the New York
City Council that New York City secede from the Union and declare itself a free
city in order to continue its profitable cotton trade with the Confederacy.
Wood's Democratic machine was concerned to maintain the revenues (which depended
on Southern cotton) that maintained the patronage. Following his service as
mayor, Wood returned to the United States Congress. CDV. VG. $75

John Van Buren (February 18, 1810 - October 13, 1866), American lawyer and
politician. He was the second son of President Martin Van Buren and graduated
from Yale College in 1828. In 1831, when his father was appointed U.S. Minister
to Britain, he accompanied him as secretary of the American Legation in London.
Both returned in 1832 after Congress failed to confirm the appointment. John Van
Buren then opened a law practice with James McKown in Albany. He is said to have
possessed a “remarkable memory,” “his success at the bar was great, but his fame
as a lawyer has been dimmed by his wit and his wonderful ability as a
politician." He returned to England on his own in 1838-39 (during his father's
Presidency). He had spectacular seats at Queen Victoria's coronation, also
attended the Queen's prorogue to Parliament, and earned his nickname of “Prince
John” after he danced with her in 1838. Van Buren dined with the who’s who of
19th century England, Ireland and Scotland. He also met with the King of France,
Louis-Philippe, the King of Belgium, Leopold I, and the King of the Netherlands,
William I, (Prince William IV of Orange). On June 22, 1841, he married Elizabeth
Vanderpoel (May 22, 1810 - November 19, 1844), his childhood sweetheart. They
had one daughter, Anna, and after her death, Van Buren never remarried. From
1845 to 1847, he served as New York State Attorney General, the last holder of
that office elected by joint ballot of the Assembly and Senate, under the
provisions of the state Constitution of 1821. In 1845, he conducted the
prosecution of some leaders of the Anti-Rent War at their trial for riot,
conspiracy and robbery. Ambrose L. Jordan led for the defense. At the first
trial the jury was deadlocked. At the re-trial, in September 1845, the two
leading counsel started a fist-fight in open court, and were both sentenced by
the presiding judge, Justice John W. Edmonds, to "solitary confinement in the
county jail for 24 hours." Governor Silas Wright refused to accept Van Buren's
resignation, and both counsel continued with the case after their release from
jail. The defendant, Smith A. Boughton ("Big Thunder"), was sentenced to life
imprisonment. At the next state election Governor Wright was defeated by John
Young, who had the support of the Anti-Renters. Young pardoned Big Thunder. In
December 1845, Governor Wright charged Van Buren to work on an act to limit the
tenure of landlords. The bill, “An Act to amend the Statute of Devices and
Descents, and to extinguish certain Tenures” was the most radical reform
considered by the New York State Legislature during the Anti-Rent years. It
basically said that the death of a landlord ended a lease. John Van Buren also
prosecuted the case of William Freeman, who murdered four members of the Van
Nest Family of Cayuga County, New York on March 12, 1846. The Defense tried to
prove that Freeman was insane and therefore could not stand trial, but a local
jury disagreed and the trial began after days of jury selection. Because it was
a capital case, Quakers (Anti- death penalty) were dismissed from the jury
panel. The local District Attorney, Luman Sherwood, also served as a prosecutor.
He and Van Buren fought vehemently against the Defense’s insanity strategy. Van
Buren believed that the legal system rested on lawbreakers being punished and
that finding a man innocent because of insanity would cause the system to
crumble. In his addresses to the jury, he explained the cause and effect of
finding Freeman guilty. The Prosecution did everything they could to show the
jury that Freeman was in fact sane and should be found guilty and face the death
penalty. Race was a huge factor: Freeman’s mother was Native American and his
father was black. It was argued he was a product of the mixing of two inferior
races and that this was one reason for his actions. In a society in which racism
was common, these claims did not fall on deaf ears. The jury deliberated for two
hours before finding Freeman guilty on July 23, 1846, and at 6:30AM the next
day, William Freeman was sentenced by Judge Whiting to hang on the afternoon of
September, 18, 1846. In January 1847, however, the Supreme Court reversed the
decision of the Cayuga County Court and granted Freeman a new trial. Freeman
died on August 21, 1847 of tuberculosis in his jail cell, weeks before that
trial was to begin. Later in 1847, Van Buren moved to New York City and formed a
partnership with Hamilton W. Robinson. A suit for the divorce of Edwin Forrest,
an actor, brought Van Buren before the public once more. He was asked to run for
various offices but always declined, stating he had been far too close to the
seats of power to seek them out. In 1848, Van Buren was the leader of the
Barnburner faction of the Democratic Party, which repudiated the 1848 Democratic
National Convention held in Baltimore. The Barnburners met for a State
Convention in Utica, New York on June 22 and nominated Van Buren's father as
their presidential candidate. On August 9, the National Convention of the Free
Soil Party, held at Buffalo, New York, endorsed this nomination. Lewis Cass
ended up on the official Democratic ticket, which forever incensed the Van
Burens, who felt Martin had been robbed of the position. Martin Van Buren failed
to win a single state and Zachary Taylor won the presidency. But Martin Van
Buren’s votes in New York cost Cass the election. Jon Earle argues that “Prince
John” Van Buren was the “most effective campaign speaker" and that Van Buren was
especially effective with urban working-class audiences. In his speeches Van
Buren "took Jacksonian antislavery arguments to new rhetorical height,
excoriating the slavery conspirators, ridiculing comprising "doughfaces" and
"meddlesome Whigs," and above all, emphasizing the degrading influence of
slavery on free labor.” (p. 167). “John Van Buren often stressed the Free Soil
Party plank calling for free homesteads in his appeals to workingmen and
freeholders, reminding them that reserving the public lands for settlers kept
[the lands] out of the hands of speculators and land monopolies, as well as
slaveholders.” The Free Soil Party was anti-slavery because it believed that
slavery promoted laziness and went against free land/labor ideas. As a strong
supporter of this third party, Van Buren convinced his father to run on its
platform in 1848. The Free Soil Party completely split with the Democratic
Party, which came to be influenced by elite slaveholders. Many of the Free Soil
members joined the Republican Party in 1860 when Abraham Lincoln ran for
President, even nominating one of their own, Hannibal Hamlin to the vice
presidency. Many, if not most of the Free Soil Party’s ideals were appropriated
by the Republican Party. In 1865, John Van Buren again ran for the office of New
York state Attorney General on the Democratic ticket, but was defeated by
Republican John H. Martindale. After Van Buren's political defeat, he visited
Europe (1866) accompanied by his daughter and niece. Van Buren died from
exposure on the return journey from Liverpool to New York City aboard the
Scotia. A storm set in after his death, and feeling that was an omen, the
sailors tried to cast his body into the sea, but the captain would not allow it.
After the ship arrived in New York, funeral services were held at that city's
Grace Church and in Albany's St. Peter’s Church. John Van Buren's grave is
located in the Albany Rural Cemetery. Van Buren was a man surrounded by
innuendoes, even after his death. He was rumored to have lost $5000, and with
it, his father's home as well as a mistress, the very popular Elena America
Vespucci, descendent of Amerigo Vespucci, to George Parish of Ogdensburg, New

POL234. E&HT Anthony. John Jordan Crittenden (September 10, 1787 –
July 26, 1863) was a politician from Kentucky. He represented the state in both
the House of Representatives and the Senate and twice served as United States
Attorney General in the administrations of William Henry Harrison and Millard
Fillmore. He was also the 17th governor of Kentucky and served in the state
legislature. Although frequently mentioned as a potential candidate for the
presidency, he never consented to run for the office. During his early political
career, Crittenden served in the Kentucky House of Representatives and was
chosen as speaker on several occasions. With the advent of the Second Party
System, he allied with the National Republican (later Whig) Party and was a
fervent supporter of Henry Clay and opponent of Democrats Andrew Jackson and
Martin Van Buren. Jackson supporters in the Senate refused to confirm
Crittenden's nomination by John Quincy Adams to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1828,
but after his brief service as Kentucky Secretary of State, the state
legislature elected him to the first of his four non-consecutive stints in the
U.S. Senate. Upon his election as president, William Henry Harrison appointed
Crittenden as Attorney General, but after Harrison's death, political
differences prompted him to resign rather than continue his service under
Harrison's successor, John Tyler. He was returned to the Senate in 1842, serving
until 1848, when he resigned to run for governor, hoping his election would help
Zachary Taylor win Kentucky's vote in the 1848 presidential election. Taylor was
elected, but Crittenden refused a post in his cabinet, fearing he would be
charged with making a "corrupt bargain," as Clay had been in 1825. Following
Taylor's death in 1850, Crittenden resigned the governorship and accepted
Millard Fillmore's appointment as attorney general. As the Whig Party crumbled
in the mid-1850s, Crittenden joined the Know Nothing (or American) Party. After
the expiration of his term as attorney general, he was again elected to the U.S.
Senate, where he urged compromise on the issue of slavery to prevent the breakup
of the United States. As bitter partisanship increased the threat of secession,
Crittenden sought out moderates from all parties and formed the Constitutional
Union Party, though he refused the party's nomination for president in the 1860
election. In December 1860, he authored the Crittenden Compromise, a series of
resolutions and constitutional amendments he hoped would avert the Civil War,
but Congress did not approve them. Crittenden was elected to the House of
Representatives in 1861 and continued to seek reconciliation between the states
throughout his term. He declared his candidacy for re-election to the House in
1863, but died before the election took place. 2-cent, cancelled revenue stamp

James Harlan (August 26, 1820 – October 5, 1899) was a member of the United
States Senate and a U.S. Cabinet Secretary. Harlan represented the state of Iowa
in the United States Senate as a member of the Free Soil Party in 1855. In 1857
the Senate declared the seat vacant because of irregularities in the legislative
proceedings that first elected Harlan to the Senate. He was then re-elected to
the Senate by the Iowa legislature as a Republican and continued to hold his
Senate seat until 1865. In 1865 he resigned elected office to become Secretary
of the Interior under President Andrew Johnson, an appointment he held until
1866. As secretary he announced that he intended to "clean house" and fired "a
considerable number of incumbents who were seldom at their respective desks".
Amongst this group was the poet Walt Whitman, then working as a clerk in the
department, who received his dismissal note on June 30, 1865. Harlan had found a
copy of Leaves of Grass on Whitman's desk as the poet was making
revisions and found it to be morally offensive. "I will not have the author of
that book in this Department," he said. "If the President of the United States
should order his reinstatement, I would resign sooner than I would put him
back." 29 years later, however, he defended his actions, saying that Whitman was
dismissed solely "on the grounds that his services were not needed".
Harlan resigned from the post in 1866 when he no longer supported the
policies of President Johnson. He was elected again to the United States Senate
in 1867 and served until 1873. From 1853 to 1855, Harlan was president of Iowa
Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where, following his career of public
service, he resided until his death in 1899. Along with pioneer Iowa governor
Samuel Kirkwood, Harlan's sculptured likeness is maintained among the two
coveted statues apportioned to each state on display under the rotunda in
Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Harlan was a

Brooke Taney (March 17, 1777 – October 12, 1864) was the fifth Chief Justice
of the United States, holding that office from 1836 until his death in 1864. He
was the first Roman Catholic to hold that office or sit on the Supreme Court of
the United States. He was also the eleventh United States Attorney General. He
is most remembered for delivering the majority opinion in Dred Scott v.
Sandford (1857), that ruled, among other things, that African Americans,
having been considered inferior at the time the Constitution was drafted, were
not part of the original community of citizens and could not be considered
citizens of the United States. Taney was a Jacksonian Democrat when he became
Chief Justice. Described by his and President Andrew Jackson's critics as "[a]
supple, cringing tool of Jacksonian power," Taney was a believer in states'
rights but also the Union; a slaveholder who regretted the institution and
manumitted his slaves. From Prince Frederick, Maryland, he had practiced law and
politics simultaneously and succeeded in both. After abandoning Federalism as a
losing cause, he rose to the top of the state's Jacksonian machine. As U.S.
Attorney General (1831–1833) and then Secretary of the Treasury (1833–1834),
Taney became one of Andrew Jackson's closest advisers. Taney died during the

Clement Vallandigham and his wife Rebecca Laird. He graduated from Jefferson
College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Shortly after moving to Tibet, Ohio, to
practice law, Vallandigham entered politics. He was elected as a Democrat to the
Ohio legislature in 1845 and 1846, and also served as editor of a weekly
newspaper, the Dayton Empire, from 1847 until 1849. He ran for Congress
in 1856, and was narrowly defeated. He was elected by a small margin in 1858 and
again in 1860, when he reluctantly supported Stephen A. Douglas. Once the Civil
War began, however, the majority anti-secession population of the Dayton area
turned him out, and Vallandigham lost his bid for a third term in 1862 by a
relatively large vote. Vallandigham was a vigorous supporter of constitutional
states' rights. He believed the federal government had no power to regulate a
legal institution, which slavery then was. He also believed the states had a
right to secede and that the Confederacy could not constitutionally be conquered
militarily. Vallandigham supported the Crittenden Compromise and proposed on
February 20, 1861 that the Senate and the electoral college be divided into four
sections, each with a veto. He strongly opposed every military bill, leading his
opponents to charge that he wanted the Confederacy to win the war. Vallandigham
was the acknowledged leader of the Copperheads, and in May 1862 he coined their
slogan, "To maintain the Constitution as it is, and to restore the Union as it
was." After General Burnside issued General Order Number 38, warning that the
"habit of declaring sympathies for the enemy" would not be tolerated in the
Military District of Ohio, Vallandigham gave a major speech on May 1, 1863,
charging that the war was being fought not to save the Union but to free the
slaves by sacrificing the liberty of all Americans to "King Lincoln." To those
who supported the war he declared, "Defeat, debt, taxation [and] sepulchres -
these are your trophies." Vallandingham "publicly denounced the ‘wicked and
cruel' war by which ‘King Lincoln' was ‘crushing out liberty and erecting a
despotism,'" and called for Lincoln's removal from the presidency. On May 5,
Vallandigham was arrested as a violator of General Order No. 38. His enraged
supporters burned the offices of the Dayton Journal, the Republican rival
to the Empire. Vallandigham was tried by a military court on May 6 and 7.
He was denied a writ of habeas corpus and was convicted by the military tribunal
of "uttering disloyal sentiments" and attempting to hinder the prosecution of
the war. He was sentenced to two years' confinement in a military prison. A
Federal circuit judge upheld Vallandigham's arrest and military trial as a valid
exercise of the President's war powers. President Lincoln wrote the "Birchard
Letter" to several Ohio congressmen, offering to release Vallandigham if they
would agree to support certain policies of the Administration. Lincoln, who
considered Vallandigham a "wily agitator", was wary of making him a martyr to
the Copperhead cause and thus ordered him sent through the enemy lines to the
Confederacy. He was taken under military guard to Tennessee. Although he altered
Vallandigham's sentence, Lincoln did not repudiate Burnside's military actions
against a civilian. In response to a public letter issued at a meeting of angry
Democrats in Albany, Lincoln's "Letter to Erastus Corning et al." explains his
justification for supporting the court-martial's conviction. In February 1864,
the Supreme Court ruled that it had no power to issue a writ of habeas corpus to
a military commission. After being sent to the Confederacy, Vallandigham
travelled by blockade runner to Bermuda and then to Canada, where he declared
himself a candidate for Governor of Ohio, subsequently winning the Democratic
nomination in absentia. (Outraged at his treatment by Lincoln, Ohio
Democrats by a vote of 411 -11 nominated Vallandigham for governor at their June
11 convention.) He managed his campaign from a hotel in Windsor, Ontario, where
he received a steady stream of visitors and supporters. He asked in one speech,
"Shall there be free speech, a free press, peaceable assemblages of the people,
and a free ballot any longer in Ohio?" His platform included withdrawing Ohio
(and any other Northern state that would agree) from the Union if Lincoln
refused to reconcile with the Confederacy. Vallandigham lost the 1863 Ohio
gubernatorial election in a landslide to pro-Union War Democrat John Brough, but
his activism had left people of Dayton divided between pro- and anti-slavery
factions. He appeared publicly in Ohio and openly attended the 1864 Democratic
National Convention in Chicago. He wrote the "peace plank" of the platform,
declaring the war a failure and demanding an immediate end of hostilities.
However, he was unable to block his party's nomination of pro-war General George
B. McClellan for the presidency. Although Vallandigham was included on the
Democratic ticket as Secretary of War, the contradiction between his and
McClellan's views weakened Democratic efforts to win voters over. After the war,
Vallandigham returned to Ohio, lost his campaigns for Senate and the House of
Representatives on an anti-Reconstruction platform, and then resumed his law
practice. By 1871 he won the Ohio Democrats over to a "new departure" policy
that would essentially neglect to mention the Civil War. Vallandigham's
assertion that "he did not want to belong to the United States" prompted Edward
Everett Hale to write The Man Without a Country. This short story, which
appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in December 1863, was widely
republished. Vallandigham died in 1871 in Lebanon, Ohio, at the age of 50, after
accidentally shooting himself with a pistol. He was representing a defendant in
a murder case for killing a man in a bar room brawl. Vallandigham attempted to
prove the victim had in fact killed himself while trying to draw his pistol from
a pocket when rising from a kneeling position. As Vallandigham conferred with
fellow defense attorneys in his hotel room, he showed them how he would
demonstrate this to the jury. Grabbing a pistol he believed to be unloaded, he
put it in his pocket and enacted the events as they might have happened,
shooting himself in the process. Vallandigham proved his point, and the
defendant, Thomas McGehan, was acquitted and released from custody. Clement
Vallandigham, however, died of his wound. His last words expressed his faith in
"that good old Presbyterian doctrine of predestination." Survived by his wife,
Louisa Anna (McMahon) Vallandingham, and his son Charles Vallandigham, he was
buried in Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio. Slight trimming. CDV. VG. $150
