Kentuckian's quip helps Whigs carry Louisiana in 1848
A lively tale recalls a Kentuckian's stump speech at a village rally. He mocks Gen Cass and Du Pont contrasts with Plaindealer and Union clips while a crowd cheers and the Whigs win Louisiana. The narrator links humor to political shift and a legal note about a pig anecdote.
