Print comments on the issue of the annexation of Texas by the United States in the 1844 U.S. Presidential election. President Tyler is depicted uncomfortably astride a Democratic "Tex-ass" with Democratic candidate James Polk who has annoyed Tyler by his adoption of annexation as his own cause in the election. Whig candidate Henry Clay, astride a white horse, argues against annexation as proposed by Tyler and supported by Polk. Former President Andrew Jackson (Democratic Party), stands by a tree with a noose, inviting Polk to turn over Tyler so Jackson can "annex" him by the noose to the tree

A scene on the frontier of the United States: a Native American (left) is shown scalping a dead British soldier. Another British soldier who has already been scalped is shown on the left edge of the design. In the center a second Native American, from whose rifle hangs a sign "Reward for 16 ... scalps" and in whose knife initials "G.R." have been etched, is shown handing a scalp to an obese British soldier (right). The speech balloon above the soldier 's head reads: "Bring me the scalps and the King our master will reward you"; from his pocket a strip of paper "Secret service money". In the background, Native Americans and British soldiers dance around a fire

Abstract:
A scene before an American fort and palisade, perhaps depicting the indifference of Congress to the sufferings of American soldiers and the pro-slavery attitude of the Americans. A black man lies wounded in the foreground, surrounded by cannon balls. An officer gestures towards him with his hat, turning to a man on the left (possibly meant to represent a Congressman) who is wearing a fur coat, large feathered hat, and is smoking a pipe. To the right of the officer an American soldier points and smiles towards three "Death or Liberty" men, all with grim features and ragged clothes
