Summary: A cynical look at the opposition to American annexation of Texas during the 1844 campaign. At the head of a motley procession is Whig candidate and professed anti-annexationist Henry Clay, riding a raccoon (which looks more like a fox). He is followed by three groups of men. The first (right) are the 'Hartford Convention Blue-Lights,' who shout, 'God save the King!' and 'Millions for Tribute! not a cent for defence Go it Strong!' Next (center) is a line of 'Sunday Mail Petitioners,' led by Clay's strongly religious running-mate Theodore Frelinghuysen, riding a donkey and dressed in clerical robes. They represent the proponents of eliminating postal service on Sundays in the United States, whose campaign was criticized by many as a threat to the separation of church and state. One of them remarks, 'I go for the Good old times! wholesome, Fine and Imprisonment!' Prominent antislavery advocate William Lloyd Garrison leads the third group. He displays the banner of 'Non Resistance, No Government No Laws--Except the 15 Gallon Law!' His folllowers are the 'Abolition Martyrs' (far left), who have been tarred-and-feathered for their activism.
