First CaricatuTe of the Campaign.


Robinson, the noted lithographer, has
come Out with caricature called "The
Great American Steeple Chase Of 1844n
which will take.


The different candidates are repre-
sented on their respective coursers, ra-
cling towards the Presidential House.


On the leading nag, half horse ard
half alligator, at his ease; and with the
smile of assured success, sits Henry
Clay; next behind, on his nullifcation
coota, (turtle,) embedded almost in
clay bank, is J. C. Calhoun, complaining
of his slow coach. On for, taking a
short but dirty cut, is Mr.. Van Buren;
while Mr.. buchanan seems TO have
been thrown in the race, and, possibly
stunned by the fall, and unconscious OF
the present, is calculating declaration
Of the past, (before he thought of being
Pennsylvania Democrat "If | thought
| had drop Of Democratic blood in my
veins, would let ii out"


Mr.. Cass, mounted On donkey, is
making vain efforts to bring his dull an
imal into the field, while r. H. Johnson
on a schitney brocn nag, with blind stag
gers, is foundered.


In the Presidents mansion, Tyler is
seen just aroused by his "favorite som,
from long nap, in which he has been
dreaming that ne was to be President;
and in the background Com. Stewart in
a boat, hauling his wind, and determn-
ing TO stick to the sea, and Gen. Scott
looking on says, or seems to say, 81
don't care about being President am
at the service Of my country"


Altogether, we look upon this as a
happy, good natured hit-and hope Ro-
binson will make out we'll by it.-N Y.
