Summary: A mock triumphal procession ridiculing 'Loco Foco' or radical Democratic support of candidates James K. Polk and George M. Dallas. The Loco Focos are portrayed as ragged Irishmen, carrying the two candidates on a rail. Polk, holding tight to the rail, remarks, 'It appears to me, friend Dallas that there is a wonderful democratic simplicity in the honors which are paid us!' Dallas, holding tight to Polk, replies, 'It is true, friend Polk, that, on this occasion we shall find no difficulty in bearing our blushing honors meekly.' One of the rail bearers exclaims, 'Glory to those whom the people delight to honor!!!' The procession is led by a man in knee-breeches holding a weathervane with a tiny figure of incumbent President John Tyler on its tip. The man complains, 'Bedad, I can't carry you [i.e., Tyler] if you turn with every flaw of wind.' Two blacks, playing fife and drums, bring up the rear.
