1860réf. 422661860. Printed oblong blue card 3-1/4" x 2" with illustrations of a steamship and a donkey. Some wear to the blank verso. Very Good. This rare and apparently unrecorded satiric political card celebrates the defeat of Lincoln's opponents in the 1860 presidential election. References to "Salt River" or "Salt Lake" were common in mid-19th century political slang. A losing candidate took a trip up Salt River and was frequently depicted purchasing a ticket to Salt Lake. The poem accompanying this ticket is reproduced here: Ye dupes by whomsoever led Who've nothing now but tears to shed Ye mongrel crew who've lost your votes Ye Democrats with seedy coats Ye Fusionists ye Foster brothers Ye Douglass-men who've lost your mothers Step aboard your passage take. We'll take you safely to Salt Lake. There Brigham Young & broth'r Hyde Each one upon a rail will ride. The song mocks Fusionists whose effort to preserve the Union by uniting Douglas and Bell-Everett men was defeated. "Douglass-men who've lost your mothers" refers to Douglas's campaign trip to New England in 1860 purporting to visit his elderly mother and family. Active campaigning by candidates was frowned upon. When it took him over a month to go from Washington to New York Republicans taunted him as 'A little boy' a reference to his shortness of stature 'lost in search of his mother' Reilly 1860-35. Currier & Ives satirized the issue with a lithograph "Stephen Finding 'His Mother'." We have not located another copy of this unusual item. unknown
