"Bagging the Game" shows candidate Zachary Taylor "bagging" all of the states in an electoral sweep. Holding up the New York bird he muses, "My purpose would be suited without this fellow, however I'll take him: the more the merrier for the 4th of March next." Standing to the right is Lewis Cass who says, "What an all-devouring appetite the fellow has: I expect he'll bag me in the bargain!" In the background, Martin Van Buren is caught by the seat of his trousers on the nails of a fence. Holding a rooster labeled "Proviso" he cries, "Cass, come and help an old crony won't you!" Peering over from behind the fence is Pennsylvania congressman David Wilmot, who threatens Van Buren with a switch, "I'll teach you to come ta robbing my barn!"What message is the artist sending with this cartoon?
