|Plate Number Twenty-two--This cartoon, without title, was published in _Vanity Fair_, on July 4, 1863. When Lee invaded Pennsylvania to meet defeat at Gettysburg, the President called upon the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia, for 120,000 men, for temporary use, and they were promptly supplied him. The design under review, in happy keeping with the day upon which it was issued, showed Lincoln holding aloft a flag and calling for volunteers, who are flocking to him from every side. This was the last time he was cartooned in _Vanity Fair_. A week later that journal ceased to exist. [Illustration: 023] |Plate Number Twenty-three--This cartoon, "Rowdy Notions of Emancipation," published in _Punch_, on August 8, 1863, has for its subject the lamentable draft riots in New York City. A gang of rioters are shown beating one negro and another lies prostrate on the ground, while President Lincoln stands at one side, dismayed but apparently unwilling to put an end to the foul work going on at his elbow. Here _Punch's_ artist is once more needlessly and manifestly unjust, for if any one deserved censure for the excesses of the draft riots, Horatio Seymour, then Governor of New York, not Lincoln, was the man upon whom the whip should have fallen.

The Polish insurrection was then in progress, and the American President and the Russian Czar are depicted triumphantly clasping hands in the foreground of an impressive picture of rapine and desolation. The result sought by the artist is made clear in the appended dialogue: _Abe_--Imperial son of Nicholas the Great, We air in the same fix, I calculate, You with your Poles, with Southern rebels, I, Who spurn my rule and my revenge defy. _Alex_--Vengeance is mine, old man; see where it falls. Behold yon hearths laid waste, and ruined walls, Yon gibbets, where the struggling patriot hangs, Whilst my brave myrmidons enjoy his pangs.
