"Let every one take care of himself" (As the Jack ass said when he was dancing among the chickens)' A satire attacking Andrew Jackson's plan to distribute treasury funds, formerly kept in the Bank of the United States, among "branch banks" in various states. The artist also alleges Vice-President Van Buren's manipulation of administration fiscal policy. Jackson appears as a jack-ass "dancing among the Chickens" (the branch banks) to the alarm of the hen "" Martin Van Buren, as a fox, and Jack Downing, as a cock, look on.
