CORWIN, THOMAS (1794-1865)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 211 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORWIN, THOMAS (1794-1865) , American statesman and orator, was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, on the 29th of July 1794. In 1798 his father, Matthias Corwin (1761-1829), removed to what later became Lebanon,
Ohio
 , where the son worked on a farm, read much, and in 1817 was admitted to the bar. As an advocate he was at once successful, but after 1831 he devoted his attention chiefly to politics, identifying himself first with the Whig and after 1858 with the Republican party. He was a member of the lower
house
  of the
Ohio
  legislature in 1821, 1822 and 1829, and of the national
House
  of Representatives from 1831 to 1840; was
governor
  of Ohio in 1840-1842; served in the United States Senate from 1845 to 185o; was secretary of the treasury in the cabinet of President
Fillmore
  in 18501853; was again a member of the national House of Representatives from 1859 to 1861; and from 1861 to 1864 was minister of the United States to Mexicoa position of peculiar difficulty at that time. As a legislator he spoke seldom, but always with
great
  ability, his most famous speech being that of the 11th of February 1847 opposing the Mexican War. In 186o he was chairman of the House " Committee of Thirty-three," consisting of one member from each state, and appointed to consider the
condition
  of the nation and, if possible, to devise some
scheme
  for reconciling the North and the
South
 . He is remembered chiefly as an orator. Many anecdotes have been told to illustrate his kindliness, his inimitable humour, and his remarkable eloquence. He died at Washington, D.C., on the 18th of December 1865.
