In these processions there were many banners bearing catch-phrases and mottoes expressing the sentiment of the people on the candidates and the issues.
The following were some of the mottoes on the Lincoln banners:
| Westward the star of empire takes its way; | |
| The | girls link on to Lincoln, their mothers were for Clay. |
