Summary: A cartoon ridiculing Whig nominee Winfield Scott as the pawn of New York antislavery senator William Seward. A member of the 'Whig Committee' kneels before Scott and offers him a crown and a bag of money marked '50,000,000.' The man says, 'Behold us at your feet great General, tired of the insolence of our democratic rabble, we, the Whig Party, have made a Coup d'etat, proclaimed an Empire and herewith offer you the Crown, and with the Crown $50,000,000 per annum!! Long live the Emperor!!! Huzza!!' Scott, holding his plumed hat and sword, leans against Seward. He asks his supporter, 'Why thats a magnificent offer Seward, shall I accept it?' Sharpening his quill, Seward replies, 'Certainly! by all means, you take the Crown and I'll take the $50,000,000 and the Pickings and the Stealings.' In the right background stand other members of the 'Whig Committee.' On the left is Seward's writing table.
