Title from item.
On item: This plate is intended to represent the returns of the presidential election as they will be received in Philadelphia; the different States are represented by balloons; the States of Virginia, N-York & Pennsylvania are joining hands at the result. Whilst Jersey, Ohio & others are coming to place themselves at their side. A carrier pigeon brings in advance the grateful news that Kentucky has gone for Democracy! That state will be seen at a distance with her motto better late than never, Old Hickory is gratified to find that the country is safe, and is ready for his last resting place, pointing to the grave. The Clay club room it will be seen is to let; whilst the defunct coon is being carried to his grave, the U. S. Bank! The Democrats are about meeting to respond to the glorious news of the election of Polk & Dallas!
