| | Hannibal Hamlin |
 | | Hamlin was re-elected to Congress in 1814, and though known mainly as a working, rather than a talking member, (and his reputation was of the highest, as an efficient business man,) he took some part in the debates, handling the most important questions with great ability. |
 | | Hamlin again to the vice-presidency, which he had filled so well; there was nothing to be objected to in his conduct, and very much to praise; but it was represented that the position belonged, by right, to some loyal representative of the border, or seceded States, and this view prevailing, Andrew Johnson was nominated. |
 | | Hamlin was a mulatto, and that the Republicans had nominated him for the purpose of inciting the Negroes to rise in rebellion against their masters. |
