1. Title: "Caucus Curs in Full Yell: A Presidential Satire of 1824" This political cartoon, published during the tumultuous presidential race of 1824, depicts Andrew Jackson, the eventual winner, standing amidst a pack of snarling dogs representing various critical newspapers. Jackson, dressed in military uniform and holding a sword inscribed with "Veni Vidi Vici," is surrounded by these "Caucus Curs," or political dogs, who are known for their fierce barking and biting. The cartoon is a scathing critique of the press's treatment of Andrew Jackson and the practice of nominating candidates through caucuses. William Crawford, the Republican nominee, and his powerful supporter Martin Van Buren are the primary targets of this satire. One dog, labeled "Richmond Whig," is whipped by a nude black boy, who says, "Mas Andra I earry say dis eah jew dog blongst to Tunis, bark loud, somebody tief way ee paper & show um one ghose, wite like Clay; dat mak um feard." This refers to the Richmond Whig newspaper, which was known for its anti-Jackson stance, and the alleged threat of violence if Jackson's supporters were to seize their papers. A dog named "Democratic Press" is ridden by a skeletal Death figure, symbolizing the impending demise of the Democratic Press, which was a pro-Jackson newspaper. The text below the image quotes from Shakespeare's Coriolanus, emphasizing the sickness and instability of the political climate. In the left background, Treasury Secretary William Crawford is shown offering a bowl of dollars to a befeathered woman, symbolizing the corrupt influence of money in politics. The woman's response, "O! stuff your mouth you brat! Treasury pap is better than rum," highlights the public's disdain for Crawford's dishonesty. This cartoon serves as a powerful commentary on the political climate of the time, exposing the corruption, violence, and instability that characterized the presidential race of 1824.
