satire complimentary to Fillmore, whose campaign slogan was 'the right man in the right place.' Fillmore was nominated at the American party's February 22 convention in Philadelphia. Republican John C. Fremont (left) and Democrat James Buchanan. Fillmore mediates between the two men, who are armed here with a musket and dagger respectively. Fremont: 'He's a border ruffian! and I'll shoot the Slave-holding Villain!' He associates Buchanan with recent violence against antislavery settlers in Kansas, and with the slaveholding interests. Buchanan, raising his dagger but restrained by Fillmore: 'Let go! Let me at him! I'll make Mince meat of the rascally abolitionist!' Fillmore: 'Stop! Stop! My friends, I cant allow any fighting, there must be peace between you as long as I stand here.'
