In another parody of the Van Buren administration's costly
policies in Florida, soldiers recline in the lap of luxury,
attended by an Indian maid and protected by a "Puppy Guard
Sentinel." A soldier playing chess expresses his
gratitude for the bloodhounds:
"Since our new Allies from Cuba have joined us, we can have a quiet game of Chess without any fear of a check from our red friends in the Swamp."
