Inklings of travel, up Salt River
Inklings of travel, up Salt River. A broad satire, ridiculing all of the candidates in the 1848 presidential campaign. Swimming up Salt River and pulling the Salt River Barge is fox Martin van Buren. Seated in the barge are (left to right): Zachary Taylor, Taylor running mate Millard Fillmore, Henry Clay, Democratic vice presidential candidate William O. Butler, and presidential candidate Lewis Cass. Seated in the front of the boat and looking ahead through a spyglass, Taylor observes, I say, Fillmore, I don't see anything ahead yonder that looks like the White House. The coast is very low and well adapted to Salt Works. Cass, at the tiller, says, This boat carries Cesar and his fortunes. It cannot fail to arrive at its place of destination.. Date 1848.
