| Description | Print shows George McClellan with a pick, shovel and wheelbarrow attempting to dig his way to the White House pictured on the left. Behind him are skeletal figures. In front of him, blocking his way to the White House, is a female allegorical figure of Liberty with a sword and shield. She says to McClellan, "Stop, you unworthy Son of a good Nation, there is no place for you this way! - I once entrusted my fate to you but you betrayed me; - you tampered with my foe - you allowed for his benefit, these my Children to die in the swamp and on the Battlefield! You shall rise no more to any position to do me harm, - you shall dig your own grave and be forgotten forever!" The cartoon provides commentary against McClellan's presidential run in 1864. |
