Summary: The artist's portrayal of Harrison's rout of Van Buren reflects strong Whig confidence late in the presidential campaign of 1840. Van Buren is shown as a fox, with a bird (an albatross?) labeled 'Treasury' around his neck. He flees from a pack of barrel-trunked hounds, and from Whig senators Daniel Webster (center) and Henry Clay, toward the White House steps. From the steps William Henry Harrison warns him away with a pitchfork. Van Buren: 'I must get to cover as soon as possible, my race is nearly run! D---n these cider barrel hounds.' Harrison: 'Oh ho! you are making for the White house my boy! but it's no longer a cover for you, I'm put here to keep you out of it!' Webster: 'He is nearly run out! he will not go another turn! see how his tail droops!' Clay: '. . . Look out General or he'll get into his hole!' The barrels are labeled 'Tip's Dog,' 'Hard Cider 1841,' 'Reform 1841,' and 'Better Times.'
