Thank you for including the cartoon. I doubt even G***gle could have dug it up.
To answer your question, you have to decide what or who the flying object is. I'm not totally sure whose face is on that flying being, but a good guess would be Jackson. In any event, the point of the cartoon is that the cartoonist does not think much of Jackson for initiating the spoils system.
He (the cartoonist) is depicting Jackson as the devil himself for introducing such a system and the people who partake of the spoils are being taken in by the very devil himself. Not only that, at the time, the Federal Government should not be introducing such give away programs. We in this day and age, don't agree.

Stephen A. Douglas (1813-1861) was an American politician and member of the House of Representatives. He became candidate for presidency in the election of 1860, compiting against Lincoln. He was known as the <em>'Little Giant'</em> due to his short height but his dominant position in politics.
He believed in the principle of popular sovereignty, that the majority of citizens should decide on contendous matters such as the slavery issue. Otherwise, if the federal government enforces anti slave regulations, the detractor states and their people would issue <em>unfriendly</em> laws locally to ensure that discrimination continues. This is known as the Freeport Doctrine.
He also had mentioned explicitly his viewpoint about the Declaration of Independence, as a document not written for non-whites.
They go to different places in different states. Lancaster Turnpike was once a privately owned road with tolls. It isn't now.
