Summary: A satire attacking Andrew Jackson's plan to distribute treasury funds, formerly kept in the Bank of the United States, among 'branch banks' in various states. The artist also alleges Vice-President Van Buren's manipulation of administration fiscal policy. Jackson appears as a jack-ass 'dancing among the Chickens' (the branch banks) to the alarm of the hen 'U.S.Bank.' Martin Van Buren, as a fox, and Jack Downing, as a cock, look on. On the left sit five chained dogs, representing the 'Albany Argus, Journal of Commerce,' and other newspapers sympathetic to Jackson's program. In the left foreground a sow with the head of Jackson advisor Francis Preston Blair lies on a copy of his newspaper, the 'Globe.' Jack Downing: 'Yankee doodle doodle doo!' Jackson: 'Sing away Major Downing. This is a capital Experiment by the Eternal!' Dogs: 'He looks like a 'Lion!' How dignified! What 'correct' Steps! in such 'good time!' Can any thing equal him! The 'greatest' and 'best' Ass we ever knew!' Blair: 'I feel quite at home on this dung heap.' Van Buren: ''Sly' is the word!'
