In case that's not entirely clear "The true intent and meaning of the parties is that Watkins risks Ten Bales Cotton in each State in the Union in favour of Van Buren and every state that Van Buren receives a majority of the Electoral votes." The bet is made on the electoral vote of each State. Watkins risking in favor of Van Buren & Swoope in favor of Harrison. . .

The Chronicle & Sentinel published at Augusta during the years 1837-1876. This Whig campaign document presents Taylor a Louisiana planter as the hero of the Mexican War.
