| Description |
Anti-Jackson cartoon concerning Jackson's misuse of federal authority during the Bank War depicting the president as an autocrat
emulating Napoleon Bonaparte. Standing beside a statue of the Emperor, Jackson puts on a Napoleon hat in front of a mirror,
boasts of his resemblance to Bonaparte, and declares, "Down with the Senate." Attorney General Roger B. Taney, who squats
by Jackson's side, places a pillow inscribed "Treasury" on the president's stomach to make him more "pursey" in order to complete
his transformation if he "can bear the weight." Nearby compliant Jackson advisor Martin Van Buren states he deserves the purse
as a reward for his war service. To the right, in front of the Senate archway, Treasury auditor Amos Kendall and a second
figure of Taney discuss the "Protest to the Senate" and "Counter Protest" they have written for Jackson, probably an allusion
to the controversial message written by Kendall and Taney about Jackson's veto of the bill to recharter the Bank of the United
States.
