Cartoon ridiculing the break-up of Andrew Jackson's cabinet in 1830-1831. A gallery wall covered with pictures, mainly cartoons. At left, book case labeled, “Cabinet Library. Select Plavs.” A man, “Appointment,” protruding from his pocket, seated on bench with two boys. One of latter, looking at picture of Diogenes discovering W. Bainbridge, says, “O pa there’s Commodore Bainbridge — what did they turn him out of the navy yard for?...” Father answers, “...He was turned out because he had the audacity to express an opinion in opposition to that of a man who knows every thing & a great deal more.” Picture in lower right corner shows Jackson tripping up on a lady’s petticoat.
