This Indiana senator (1845-62) was expelled from the Senate for treason when a letter from him to Jefferson Davis proposing a firearms trade was discovered aboard a captured gun trader; he was the 14th and last senator expelled during the Civil War -- and only one have been expelled since. Large, bold clipped signature in brown ink, 4" X 1¼" (tipped to another sheet), n.p., n.y. Near fine. On a darkish tan stock, thus perhaps clipped from an envelope. Nice example. …

Original printed pink wrappers [some discoloration], stitched. vii, [1 blank], 132pp. A few pages with a bit of inner margin spotting. Very Good. Inscribed above the title, "J.G. Woodbury Per J.D. Bright." The question was whether the State of Indiana had legally returned Senators Bright and Fitch to the Senate. Bright and Fitch were Democrats, elected by Indiana's Democratic Senate; the Republican members of the State Senate failed to participate in the election. The next Legislature, which was predominantly Republican, declared this election illegal, and chose Henry S. Lane and William M. McCarty as Senators. They claimed their seats in Washington. The U.S. Senate rejected their claim on a Party vote, and voted to seat Bright and Fitch. The title page is preceded by a detailed Table of Contents, listing all the opinions, resolutions, testimony, votes, reports, and speeches. Much discussion occurs on the legal authority for the U.S. Senate to judge the qualifications of those who claim to have been duly elected. Bright lived in southern Indiana; he owned a farm and slaves across the river in Kentucky. His interests-- both material and emotional-- were those of a southern plantation owner. During the War, Bright became the only person from a Northern State expelled from the Senate for his Confederate sympathies. Fitch was along for the ride--- he was elected to the U.S. Senate to fill a vacancy in the term beginning March 4, 1855, and served from February 4, 1857, to March 3, 1861. He commanded Union troops during the War. Not in Sabin, Cohen, or Eberstadt. OCLC 24888369 [4].…

U.S. senators from Indiana. Most unusual item: single leaf (7¼" X 9¼"), probably the frontispiece of an Indiana state history, captioned "Indiana" at the top. Below this is a charming stone lithographed pastoral scene depicting a shirtless man in the foreground chopping down a tree, vast fields extending behind him; the sun is just breaking over the horizon, and a bull is romping playfully. Facsimile signatures of Indiana senators Albert S. White and Edward A. Hannegan appear below this. (Their Senate terms overlapped from 1845 to '49, thus dating this frontispiece.) Their two successors, Bright (who served 1845-62) and Whitcomb (1849-52), have each signed boldly beneath the facsimiles. Very good. Moderately foxed throughout, but overall attractive. An interesting pairing of Hoosiers on an appropriate if odd item. Whitcomb died in office, while Bright was expelled from the Senate for treason.…
