What sylph did the Whigs adopt for their election of 1840?

The Whigs adopted the image of "Tippecanoe," referring to General William Henry Harrison, who gained fame for his victory at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. For the 1840 election, they also utilized the figure of a sylph, often personified in the campaign as "Log Cabin" or "Hard Cider," representing Harrison as a man of the people and emphasizing his humble roots. This imagery was designed to contrast with the incumbent president, Martin Van Buren, and to appeal to the common voter.
