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

The citizens of Alexandria, Virginia, are ridiculed in this scene for their lack of serious resistance against the British seizure of the city in 1814. At left two frightened gentlemen kneel with hands folded, pleading, "Pray Mr. Bull don't be too hard with us -- You know we were always friendly, even in the time of our Embargo!" In the center stands a bull in English seaman's clothes, holding out a long list of "Terms of Capitulation" to the Alexandrians. He says, "I must have all your Flour -- All your Tobacco -- All your Provisions -- All your Ships -- All your Merchandize -- every thing except your Porter and Perry -- keep them out of my sight, I've had enough of them already." His allusion is to American Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and Captain David Porter. At right, a soldier and sailor carry off spirits, saying: "Push on Jack, the yankeys are not all so Cowardly as these Fellows here -- let's make the best of our time." and "Huzza boys!!! More Rum more Tobacco!"
