The caricature appeared in the Niles Weekly Register (see <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hezekiah_Niles&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Hezekiah Niles (page does not exist)">Hezekiah Niles</a>) on January 5 and 12, 1828, regarding the "Corrupt Bargain" accusations made my presidentail candidate Andrew Jackson against Secretary of State Henry clay in 1824. Secretary Clay is shown restraining a seated, uniformed General Jackson and sewing up his mouth. From Clay's pocket protrudes a slip of paper reading, "cure for calumny." Below the image is a quote from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," ". . . Clay might stop a hole, to keep the wind away." On the wall behind him are the words "Plain sewing done here."
