Estimate $250 - 350

Henry Clay, Sr., was an American lawyer, planter and statesman who represented Kentucky in both the United States Senate and House of Representatives. After serving three non-consecutive terms as Speaker of the House, Clay helped elect John Quincy Adams president, and Adams subsequently appointed Clay as Secretary of State. Clay served four separate terms in the Senate, including stints from 1831 to 1842 and 1849 to 1852. He ran for the presidency in 1824, 1832 and 1844, and unsuccessfully sought his party's nomination in 1840 and 1848. Clay was one of a handful of national leaders to actively work from 1811 to the 1850s, defining issues, proposing nationalistic solutions and creating the Whig Party, one of the two major parties during the Second Party System.

Sam Houston was an American soldier and politician. He was the only governor within a future Confederate state to oppose secession and to refuse an oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, a decision that led to his removal from office by the Texas secession convention. After the War, Houston became a key figure in Texas and was elected the first and third President of the Republic of Texas. He supported annexation by the United States and became a U.S. Senator in 1845, and finally governor of the State of Texas in 1859, whereby Houston became the only person to have become the governor of two different U.S. states through popular election, as well as the only state governor to have been a foreign head of state.

Estimate $600 - 800

John Tyler, tenth President of the United States (1841-45). Elected Vice-President on the 1840 Whig ticket with William Henry Harrison, Tyler became president after Harrison's death in April 1841, just a month into the new administration. He was a supporter of states' rights, and as president adopted nationalist policies only when they did not infringe on the powers of the states. His unexpected rise to the presidency, with the resulting threat to the presidential ambitions of Henry Clay and other politicians, left him estranged from both major political parties.

Van Cortlandt was descended from early settlers of New York and served as Lieutenant Governor under George Clinton from 1777-95.

Estimate $250 - 350

The Petticoat Affair (also known as the Eaton affair) was an 1829–31 scandal involving members of President Andrew Jackson's Cabinet and their wives. Led by Floride Calhoun, wife of Vice President John C. Calhoun, these women (the "petticoats") socially ostracized John Eaton, the Secretary of War, and his wife Peggy over disapproval of the circumstances surrounding their marriage and what they considered her failure to meet the moral standards of a Cabinet wife. The Affair shook the Jackson administration, led to the resignation of all but one Cabinet member, facilitated Martin Van Buren's rise to the presidency and was, in part, responsible for Calhoun's transformation from a national political figure with presidential aspirations into a sectional leader of the Southern states.
