A slanderous portrayal of Democratic tactics against Whig presidential candidate William Henry Harrison. The supposedly insidious and high-living Van Buren and his minions suffer by comparison to the Whig candidate, here portrayed as rustic and plainspoken. Harrison is shown dressed in buckskins and standing near a plough on his Ohio farm. A contingent of Democrats have arrived in an elegant coach at left. The visitors are (left to right) Francis Preston Blair, Amos Kendall, John Calhoun, and Martin Van Buren. Blair remarks to Kendall, "I will state in my paper that we found him drinking Rye Whiskey and that will kill him with the Temperance men and reading Abolition tracts settles him in the South. Our readers you know will swallow anything. I must make the most of this interview as our case is desperate indeed." Kendall responds, "Why he is quite a natural. He dont suspect us to be Spies . . . We may be able to furnish you with something clever for the Globe [i.e., Blair's newspaper the Washington "Globe]."" Calhoun protests to Van Buren, "Matty this is a dirty job. I don't like it." Van Buren says, "As I live that is old Harrison himself the old fool. After the many opportunities he has had of enriching himself to live in a log cabin and plough his own ground. Now look at me who never pulled a trigger, or chased an Indian unless by proxy: I roll in riches, and live in splendour, dine with kings, make my sons princes, enrich my friends, punish my enemies, and laugh in my sleeve at the dear People whom I gull." Harrison greets them with, "Gentlemen you seem fatigued, If you will accept of the fare of a log cabin, with a Western farmer's cheer, you are welcome. I have no champagne but can give you a mug of good cider, with some ham and eggs, and good clean beds. I am a plain backwoodsman, I have cleared some land, killed some Indians, and made the Red Coats fly in my time."|Printed & published by H.R. Robinson, no. 52 Cortlandt St. N.Y. & Pennsa.

A Whig campaign print glorifying presidential candidate William Henry Harrison. The title derives from the candidate's farm on the North Bend of the Ohio River. The game cock has a dual significance: as an allusion to Harrison's military virtue and as a Whig party symbol. A formidable-looking gamecock stands with one foot on a large ball (inscribed "Stop That Party Bawl") and crows, "Tippecanoo Canoo-oo-oo." The giant ball was a Democratic symbol initially associated with Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton. (See "N. Tom O' Logical Studies," no. 1837-14.) In the sky overhead is an eagle with an American flag and the words, "The Nation Is Whig! Tell Chapman to Crow." In the middle ground is a log cabin, and in the distance a neoclassical building--presumably the White House--flying a flag with the motto, "Union of the Whigs for the sake of the Union." The print is signed "Nosey," evidently another of Napoleon Sarony's pseudonyms. The broad-crayon lithographic technique is a distinctive feature of Sarony prints like "The New Era or the Effects of a Standing Army" (no. 1840-3). The present work is dedicated to "Robert C. Wetmore Esq. President of the North Bend Association of New York" by the publisher.|Entered . . . 1840 by H.R. Robinson.|Printed & published by H.R.

A Northern-produced satire, expressing strongly anti-abolitionist sentiments. A large pair of bare feet, obviously those of a black man, protrude from beneath a Phrygian cap adorned with the word "Liberty," several stars, and an eagle with arrows and olive branch from the seal of the United States. Weitenkampf very plausibly suggests that the print is by Baker, whose work for the Bufford lithography firm is similar in style. Compare Baker's emphatically anti-Lincoln "Columbia Demands Her Children!" (no. 1864-34).|Entered . . . 1864 by J.E. Cutler in the District Court of . . . Mass.|Probably drawn by Joseph E.

The erosion of Democratic support for presidential hopeful Martin Van Buren is portrayed as the funeral of "the Kinderhook fox." The print was deposited for copyright on May 22, 1844, one week before the Democratic National Convention squelched Van Buren's presidential ambitions by nominating James K. Polk. Former president Andrew Jackson and incumbent John Tyler, both of whom appear here, were instrumental in bringing about Van Buren's defeat. Tyler drives a rude hearse--actually a cart--laden with cabbages and the body of fox Van Buren. By Tyler's side are a bag of "Mint drops," a reference to traditional, hard-money fiscal policies of the Democrats. Tyler laments, "Thus do all our hopes end in Clay! Nothing left for me now but hoe-Cakes." His reference to "Clay" is a double entendre for Whig candidate Henry Clay; mention of "Hoe-cakes" may be an allusion to Tyler's Virginia origins. Tyler's poet son Robert rides on the back of the hearse, penning his 1842 epic "Ahasuerus" and musing, "To be or not to by[?] is no longer the question." The cart is pulled by a scrawny nag with Andrew Jackson's head. Jackson says, "I have done my best to bring Foxy here! I have nothing more to do but to see him decently interred." Behind the cart walks a devil, sobbing, "Oh! heavy day! I am his only mourner. I am the only friend that will never leave him. Death itself shall not divide us!" He is followed by a heavyset man in a wide-brimmed hat ringing a bell and crying "Bring out your dead!" Several dogs also pursue the hearse. In the background is "Loco Foco Hall," a small cabin with bottles of spirits lining its window-shelves and flying an inverted American flag. A fox pelt is nailed to an outside wall, and an emaciated man stands in the doorway. The Loco Focos, or radical Democrats, were an important Van Buren constituency. Beyond, on the right, is a grave freshly dug by two blacks who stand nearby. One of the gravediggers says, "Here he comes, Pompey, we'll have this Fox earthed at last!" Beneath the scene are the verses: Not a drum was heard nor a funeral note / As his corse to the ramparts we hurried / Not a Loco discharged his farewell shot / O'er the ditch where our hero we buried.|Entered . . . 1844 by James Baillie.|Lith. & pub. by James Baillie 33 Spruce St. N.Y.|Signed: H.

An optimistic Whig artist (probably Edward Williams Clay) portrays Martin Van Buren's evacuation of the White House on Inauguration Day 1841. A disgruntled Van Buren descends the steps, muttering "Our sufferings is intolerable! D--n his hard cider how it works me!" He carries his "Subtreasury Bill" under his arm. He has been seen out by Jack Downing, who shouts from the door, "Good bye Matty dont look so down in the mouth! I'll get the General to appoint you Collector of the port of Kinderhook! and the New Yorkers will may be make you Inspector of Cabbage!" The presidential mansion is already inhabited by William Henry Harrison, who watches from a window at left saying, "Show the Gentleman out Major Downing and give him a glass of cider before he goes!" Below the window is posted a theater bill advertising the "Washington Theatre. March 4th 1841. The School of Reform. Turn Out."|Lith & pub. by J.
