Summary: Another swipe at Whig candidate Winfield Scott's manipulation by antislavery Whigs Seward and Greeley. Here, Scott is a fly caught in a large web, spun by spiders Greeley (left) and Seward (right). Scott exclaims, 'I think I've got myself into a hobble!' Greeley, hanging from a thread, decides, 'I must hurry up & cover him with our slime as fast as possible!' Seward adds, 'I hope he won't break through before I get him secured!' At lower left, Massachusetts Whig Daniel Webster and New York editor James Watson Webb look on. Webster remarks, 'What an extraordinary web, Webb!' Webb replies, 'Yes it's one of that crafty old spider Seward's and he has caught a large fly who wont get out Scot free--Can't you stir it up a little, Webster!'
