APPENDIX VII KEYS TO CARTOONS (Read Cartoons from left to right) JACKSON'S BANK CAMPAIGN (p. 260) (The head of the octopus is Nicholas Bidde, President of the Bank.) ("Major" Downing). "How now you nasty varment, be you imperishable? I swan Gineral that are beats all I reckon; that's the horrible wiper what wommits wenemous heads, I guess. Yes Gineral I'll at him agin as soon as I've taken breath, and no mistake." (Van Buren). "Well done General, Major Jack Downing, Adams, Clay; Well done all. I dislike dissentions beyond every thing, for it often compels a man to play a double part, were it only for his own safety. Policy, Policy, is my motto, but intrigues I cannot countenance." (Jackson). "Biddle, thou Monster, Avaunt! avaunt, I say! or by the Great Eternal I'll cleave thee to the earth. Aye, thou and thy Four & Twenty hideous satellites (branch banks), Matty, if thou art true, by the Eternal come on; if thou art false may the venomous monster turn his dire fang upon thee. Well done Major, by the Great, at him again, & let us surround them." THE POLITICAL GYMNASIUM (p. 328) (Everett). "There is nothing like having the Constitution, to give us strength to put up this Bell successfully." (Bell). "I have perfect confidence in Mr. Everett's ability to uphold me." (Greeley). "I've been practising at it a long time, but can never get up muscle enough to get astride at this bar." (Lincoln). "You must do as I did Greeley, get somebody to give you a boost. I'm sure I never could have got up here by my own efforts." (Webb). "I'll bet a quarter I can beat any man in the party at turning political Summersets." (Douglas). "Come at me, Breck, and after you cry enough I'll take a round with the rest of them." (Breckenridge). "If I do nothing else I can at least prevent you from pulling Lincoln down." (Seward). "You'd better be careful, my friend, that you don't tumble off, as I did before I was fairly on, for if you do you'll be as badly crippled as I am. THE NATIONAL GAME (p. 332) (Bell). "It appears to me very singular that we three should strike 'foul' and be 'put out' while old Abe made such a 'good lick'." (Douglas). "That's because he had that confounded rail to strike with. I thought our fusion would be a 'short stop' to his career." (Breckenridge). "I guess I'd better leave for Kentucky, for I smell something strong around here, and begin to think that we are completely 'skunk'd."" (Lincoln). "Gentlemen, if any of you should ever take a hand in another match at this game, remember that you must have 'a good bat' and strike a 'fair ball' to make a 'clean score' & a 'home run'."
