Summary: A Whig campaign print glorifying presidential candidate William Henry Harrison. The title derives from the candidate's farm on the North Bend of the Ohio River. The game cock has a dual significance: as an allusion to Harrison's military virtue and as a Whig party symbol. A formidable-looking gamecock stands with one foot on a large ball (inscribed 'Stop That Party Bawl') and crows, 'Tippecanoo Canoo-oo-oo.' The giant ball was a Democratic symbol initially associated with Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton. (See 'N. Tom O' Logical Studies,' no. 1837-14.) In the sky overhead is an eagle with an American flag and the words, 'The Nation Is Whig! Tell Chapman to Crow.' In the middle ground is a log cabin, and in the distance a neoclassical building--presumably the White House--flying a flag with the motto, 'Union of the Whigs for the sake of the Union.' The print is signed 'Nosey,' evidently another of Napoleon Sarony's pseudonyms. The broad-crayon lithographic technique is a distinctive feature of Sarony prints like 'The New Era or the Effects of a Standing Army' (no. 1840-3). The present work is dedicated to 'Robert C. Wetmore Esq. President of the North Bend Association of New York' by the publisher.
