“Columbia and Her Suitors”
|

This Budget of Fun cartoon caricatures the four presidential nominees as suitors seeking the favor of Miss Columbia. Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge totes a large piece of “Breckenridge coal,” mined in the northwest Kentucky counties of Hancock and Breckinridge (named after the candidate’s grandfather). Constitutional Unionist John Bell holds a banner jokingly announcing the 942nd edition of vice-presidential nominee Edward Everett’s oration, “The Character of [George] Washington.” Everett was a popular lecturer who delivered the Washington speech 135 times across the nation in order to promote nationalist sentiment and to raise money for the preservation of Washington’s Virginia estate, Mount Vernon. |
