Abstract: Print comments on the issue of the annexation of Texas by the United States in the 1844 U.S. Presidential election. President Tyler is depicted uncomfortably astride a Democratic "Tex-ass" with Democratic candidate James Polk who has annoyed Tyler by his adoption of annexation as his own cause in the election. Whig candidate Henry Clay, astride a white horse, argues against annexation as proposed by Tyler and supported by Polk. Former President Andrew Jackson (Democratic Party), stands by a tree with a noose, inviting Polk to turn over Tyler so Jackson can "annex" him by the noose to the tree
