An obscure and bizarre satire, datable only by its incidental reference to the murder of Congressman Jonathan Cilley. (See "Scene in Washington, Sunday Feby. 25. 1838" and "The New Code of Chivalry," nos. 1838-17 and -18.) The print is extremely crude, evidently the product of an amateur or a provincial press. On a small hill two men crouch on the ground near a tree or bush. From the tree grows a man holding a newspaper with the words "Coal is Coal." The third man says, "Just cover up the roots well, there, or you'll expose Me." One of the crouching men says, "I say, Chowder, let me hill up the Rohan. While you whip in the Cattle." The other is frightened by a "Bloody Hand" which appears in the sky above him. A man in a long coat and tall hat (at right) says, "The fact is, Doctor, those Cattle won't feed on Rohans. The prospects of the "Porty" look blue, If we could whip in the Miserable Conservatives, it would really be 'contholing.'" On a branch of the tree perches a bird with the head of a man, who sings "The rascally Whigs killed poor Cilley, Whit-Whit pewee!" On the left a black youth tries to hold back two "Hampton Bulls," one of which says, "Mutton and cheese." The youth says, "Hold on Massa Gineral, it be ob no use to go to dat Market." On the far right several cattle stampede their driver, who is warned by a man in shirtsleeves, "You cant drive them Cattle, no how Gid."|Title appears as it is written on the item.|Forms part of: American cartoon print filing series (Library of Congress)|Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F.

Henry Clay's November 1847 address to a public meeting in Lexington, Kentucky, condemning the Polk administration's prosecution of the Mexican War and opposing the pondered annexation of all of Mexican territory is the subject of the artist's attack. Clay's speech was widely published and was endorsed by influential New York editor Horace Greeley. Here the Whig statesman's pacifism is depicted as insincere and politically motivated, and Greeley is shown as unpatriotic. A two-faced Clay hands a pair of pistols to his son Lt. Col. Henry Clay (in uniform, far left). The younger Clay was an officer in the Mexican War and was killed at Vera Cruz in February 1847. The elder Clay says, "Take these pistols, my son, & use them honorably. May they do good execution on the foes of your country." On the other side he addresses Greeley and several others, vowing, "Down with this War-making Administration! Down with the Army who rob & kill our innocent friends the Mexicans!" Greeley (center, in pale frock coat) holds a copy of his New York "Tribune," publishing Clay's speech. His reply is, "Hurra! Hurra! These are the good old days of the Hartford Convention! It warms the very bran bread in my stomach to hear thee! Glorious Harry of the West!" The Hartford Convention, held in 1815, was an early secessionist movement in the Northeast. "Bran bread" was a well-known dietary preference of Greeley's. Behind Greeley is a cadaverous man (possibly William Lloyd Garrison, editor of the "Liberator&1), who says, "This is nuts for us. Another spoke in the non-resistance wheel!" Beside him another unidentified man, wearing plaid trousers patched in several places, throws up his hands and exclaims, "Mercy on me! what shall I do? Here I have been waiting 20 years for an office under the Whigs, & old Harry has knocked us all into the shape of a three cocked Hat." On the right stands bewhiskered New York "Courier and Enquirer" editor James Watson Webb. Outraged, he raises his fist and shouts, "What the devil is this? What success can we expect when we go against the country, and trample on the ashes of our slain Heroes?" Webb, though a Whig, supported the Mexican War brought about by the Democratic Polk administration. He is told by a smaller man, "Peace, Colonel! You'll spoil all. Don't you know it is necessary to decry the war in order to make out that Scott & Taylor are doing more harm than good, and thus keep them out of the Presidential chair, which must be filled by Harry of the West. You know our case is desperate, and so Harry must do something desperate for his own sake." On the far right a carpenter holds up a wooden peg and announces, "Gentlemen, I've made a new Wooden leg for Santa Anna. You can appoint a Clay-Whig Committee to present it to him, with a suitable address." Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the commander of Mexican forces, had left his wooden leg behind in his retreat from the Battle of Cerro Gordo.|Entered . . . 1847 by J.

Democratic presidential candidate George Brinton McClellan is lampooned as an incompetent military leader. He sits in a saddle mounted on the boom of the Union ironclad vessel "Galena." The print recalls two prominent failures in McClellan's tenure as commander of the Army of the Potomac, which haunted him during the 1864 campaign. The "Galena," a Union ironclad leading a flotilla of Union gunboats against Richmond, was driven back and badly damaged by Confederate batteries just miles from the capital in May 1862. McClellan was criticized for refusing to bring nearby land troops to the navy's aid. Shortly thereafter McClellan's peninsular campaign toward Richmond came to a disastrous conclusion with the Battle of Malvern Hill, shown here raging in the background. McClellan's troops retreated to the protection of naval guns, effectively ending the Union threat to Richmond. The artist shows McClellan viewing the battle through a telescope from his safe perch. He calls to the troops, "Fight on my brave Soldiers and push the enemy to the wall, from this spanker boom your beloved General looks down upon you."|Probably drawn by Louis Maurer.|Title appears as it is written on the item.|Gale, no. 2904.|Weitenkampf, p. 145.|Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F.

Another campaign portrait of Whig presidential candidate Henry Clay. In an oval frame, surrounded by an ornate floral wreath, is a bust-length portrait of Clay. Two books and a quill pen are visible over his shoulder at left; at right, behind a curtain, is the base of a column and, beyond that, the sky. Surmounting the oval is an eagle grasping an olive branch in one claw and arrows in the other, and holding a streamer in his beak. Below is a facsimile of Clay's signature. Like "The Working Man" (no. 1844-3), the Library's impression is a proof (possibly a restrike) on paper from a plate engraved for printing campaign badges. Sullivan and Fisher reproduce a similar badge printed on silk (no. HC-47). In this state, Clay's head is surrounded by a faint halo indicating considerable reengraving of the plate.|Sold by Edward P.

A crude satire on the obstacles facing Van Buren's reelection effort in 1840. Weighed down by a large bundle labeled "Sub Treasury," Van Buren follows the lead of Andrew Jackson toward the White House. His way is blocked by barrels of "Hard Cider" and log cabins, symbolizing the popular appeal of Harrison's candidacy. In the right distance the Capitol is visible, and in the left distance Van Buren's home at Kinderhook. A mischievous youth stands behind Van Buren thumbing his nose.|Sold by Huestis & Co. 104 Nassau-St, N.Y.|Title appears as it is written on the item.|Weitenkampf, p. 68.|Forms part of: American cartoon print filing series (Library of Congress)|Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F.
