EDWIN MORGAN
The Republican Senator signed this handwritten note during the Impeachment trial of President Johnson.
Autograph Note signed: "E. D. Morgan " as U.S. Senator, 1 page, 4½x6¾. Washington, 1868 March 19. To "Sir", in full: "As requested in your note of 14th instant I send you my autograph. Very truly". Republican Morgan (1811-1883)was Governor of New York from 1859-1862, serving as Major General of Volunteers from 1861-1863. He served one term as a U.S. Senator (1863-1869), and chaired the Republican National Committee during President Lincoln's successful bid for re-election. Morgan signed this note while the Senate was hearing the charges brought by the House of Representatives against President Andrew Johnson, the trial having begun on March 5, 1868. When the votes were cast on May 16 and May 26, Senator Morgan voted "guilty" on all articles, but the measure failed by one vote (35-19) to receive the two-thirds necessary remove the President from office. Morgan was offered the post of Secretary of the Treasury by President Arthur in 1881, but declined. He was influential in the world of business as well as politics, being one of the founders of Wells - Fargo Express and a director of American Express. Faint mounting adhesive remnants at corners. One-fourth inch tear at left of upper edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
