“Mad Tom in a Rage,” a Federalist cartoon attacking the Jefferson administration, 1801. The devil helps the Anti-Federalist Thomas Jefferson pull down the American government. However, this alternative understanding of the cartoon is offered by the scholar Nathalie Caron: "In the context of partisan politics that followed the election of Thomas Jefferson, Tom Paine is shown pulling down a pillar representing the federal government. He is assisted by the devil, to whom he bears some likeness and with whom he seems to be intimately acquainted. His 'Letters to the citizens of the United States, and particularly to the leaders of the Federal Faction', published in the Jeffersonian press November 1802 to April 1803, as well as a 'third Part,' possibly of the The Age of Reason, and two manuscripts can be seen sticking out of his pocket." Granger Collection, 381 Park Ave S, New York, NY 10016. And American Philosophical Society, 104 S Fifth St, Philadelphia, PA 19106-3387. Text: Nathalie Caron, the co-editor of the Revue française des études américaines and Professor of American Studies at the Université de Paris, 12-Val de Marne, France, is the author of "Thomas Paine contre l'imposture des prêtres," (1999) and of "Résurgence et pertinence de Thomas Paine," Sources 20-21 (automne 2008): 57-82.
