Whigs sit left of the Speaker and Democrats to his right, as party lines shift with several crosses over. The scene features Faulkner and others crossing sides, with Southern Democrats remaining on their side and nullifiers and secessionists aligned. General Pierce appears inexperienced amid the varied mix of party factions.
