A comic illustrated Whig campaign song sheet, showing Uncle Sam banishing the Democrats from the White House, to make way for Zachary Taylor. The eighteen-stanza song, sung to the tune of "Yankee Doodle," extolls Taylor's patriotism and deplores the evils of the Polk administration. Accordingly, the picture shows Polk and his cabinet fleeing with bundles marked "Spoils," "To Patch Up a Fortune" (carried by Secretary of War William A Marcy, wearing a trouser patch inscribed "50" on the seat of his pants; see "Executive Mercy/Marcy and the Bambers," no. 1838-5), and "One of the Walkers" (no doubt Polk's Secretary of the Treasury Robert J. Walker). They are chased by an oddly dressed Uncle Sam (center), who wears a hat with a "76" on it and knee-breeches. To the right of Uncle Sam stands Zachary Taylor, holding the "Lease to Uncle Sam's Farm from March 4th '49 to Mar. 4th '53." At left Democratic presidential candidate Lewis Cass has one leg over a fence, as he tries to climb onto the White House grounds unnoticed. Uncle Sam warns him, "You look very pretty, Mr. Gass, but you can't come in; I've had so many of your sort already that I hardly know my own farm."|Entered . . . 1848 by T. Horton.|New-York.

A mild election-year cartoon portraying Whig presidential candidate Winfield Scott (left) as a turkey and Democrat Franklin Pierce (right) as a gamecock. The two face each other from opposite sides of "Mason & Dixon's Line." Scott orders Pierce to "Get out the way fellow! I want the whole of the road!" Pierce crows back, "Cock a doodle doo----ooo! Don't you wish you may get it! But you can't get over this line." Scott's chances in the South were considered poor because of his association with antislavery interests.|Published by John Childs, 84 Nassau St. N.

The text strongly criticizes Jackson's anti-tariff platform and condemns him and William Coleman as advocates of British interests. The author also praises Henry Clay's support of American home industry. The illustrations symbolically represent Industry, Commerce, and Agriculture. The first shows a man at a loom, with the motto "National Industry is National Wealth" below. The central vignette shows a sailing ship with "John Quincy Adams of Washington" across its stern, and flags reading "Free Trade & Sailors Rights" and "No Colonial Subjection" flying from its masts. On the right is a view of a man plowing a field, a liberty pole with a banner inscribed "Speed the Plough," and, in the distance, a small cottage. Below is the motto "Agriculture is the Source of Prosperity."|Title appears as it is written on the item.|Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F. Reilly. Boston : G.K.
