Summary: Two scenes contrast Democratic presidential candidate of 1832 Andrew Jackson and 1864 George B. McClellan. McClellan is portrayed as weak and conciliatory toward the South, whereas his earlier counterpart's staunch preservation of the Union is applauded. In the left panel Jackson berates John C. Calhoun, leader of the Southern nullification effort of 1832. Jackson vows, 'By the Eternal! this Union must and shall be preserved: A Traitor's doom to him who acts against it.' Calhoun bows deeply in response, pleading, 'Pardon! Pardon!' Three men in the background also bow. The South Carolinean Calhoun was a longtime exponent of Southern autonomy. On the right McClellan and running mate Pendleton kneel on the 'Chicago Platform' before a standing Jefferson Davis. Davis addresses them, 'Gentlemen, I am well pleased with what you ask for, you are men of sense, and to commence with I wish you to call back those fellows, Sherman, Grant and Sheridan also that old Seadog Farragut after that we will see further.' The men mentioned are Union generals William T. Sherman, Ulysses S. Grant, and Philip H. Sheridan and Union admiral David G. Farragut. McClellan, who ran on a 'peace at any price' plank, offers an olive branch to Davis, begging, 'We should like to have Union and Peace dear Mr. Davis but if such is not your pleasure then please state your terms for a friendly separation.' Pendleton, behind him, says, 'Amen.' At the far left a Confederate soldier comments, 'Those Northern dogs how they whine!' Beside him another soldier gnaws a corn cob.
