Great Rohan & Cattle Market,1838,Jonathan Cilley,Bloody Hand,Hampton Bulls

Title: The great Rohan & the cattle market
Date Created/Published: 1838.
Summary: An obscure and bizarre satire, datable only by its incidental reference to the murder of Congressman Jonathan Cilley. (See 'Scene in Washington, Sunday Feby. 25. 1838' and 'The New Code of Chivalry,' nos. 1838-17 and -18.) The print is extremely crude, evidently the product of an amateur or a provincial press. On a small hill two men crouch on the ground near a tree or bush. From the tree grows a man holding a newspaper with the words 'Coal is Coal.' If we could whip in the Miserable Conservatives, it would really be 'contholing.'' On a branch of the tree perches a bird with the head of a man, who sings 'The rascally Whigs killed poor Cilley, Whit-Whit pewee!' On the left a black youth tries to hold back two 'Hampton Bulls,' one of which says, 'Mutton and cheese.' The youth says, 'Hold on Massa Gineral, it be ob no use to go to dat Market.' On the far right several cattle stampede their driver, who is warned by a man in shirtsleeves, 'You cant drive them Cattle, no how Gid.'
