It was Tippecanoe and Tyler Too
I'm not really sure, but I think they used it because it symbolized the west.
The Whigs ran a brilliant campaign to put William Henry Harrison in the presidential seat in 1840. The symbols they used were "Log cabin and hard cider." Their famous rallying cry for the campaign was "Tippecanoe and Tyler too."
They didn't have one at the time, because 1842 wasn't an election year.
The Whigs won the presidential election of 1840 primarily due to their effective campaign strategy, which portrayed their candidate, William Henry Harrison, as a man of the people, contrasting him with the incumbent President Martin Van Buren. The Whigs capitalized on the economic troubles and dissatisfaction with Van Buren's administration, particularly the Panic of 1837. They also utilized modern campaign techniques, including rallies and slogans like "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," to energize voters. Additionally, the Whigs presented a unified front, drawing support from various factions disillusioned with the Democrats.
