I don't think so...here's what I found out:
On January 15, 1870 a political cartoon by Thomas Nast appeared in Harper's Weekly titled "A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion". This cartoon characterized the Democratic Party as a donkey for the first time. Since then, the donkey has become a symbol of the party, though unlike the Republican elephant, the donkey has never been officially adopted as the party's logo.

There was no symbol prior to the donkey.
The Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant were created by the cartoonist Thomas Nast.
Elephant = Republican Political Party Donkey = Democratic Political Party
The democratic donkey symbol originated in the 19th century as a representation of the Democratic Party in the United States. It was popularized during Andrew Jackson's presidential campaign in 1828, where opponents labeled him a "jackass" for his populist views. Jackson embraced the term, and over time, the donkey came to symbolize stubbornness and determination, traits associated with the party's ideals. The symbol has since evolved into a recognizable emblem of the Democratic Party.

The donkey. When a republican called Andrew Jackson (Old Hickory) a name for a donkey that would probably get reported on this site, he liked the thought of such a stubborn, unmoving animal so much that he made it the symbol of the democratic party.
