H. CARRISON. . HUMORS OF ELECTIONEERING. . From the Tusealoosa Monitor of Sept. 25. We Give rr vp.—We have in our . particular has some electioneerers that ‘time met with some good electionIn this our good old county hard to beat. We have seen some of them watk into a large crowd, and in less than ten minutes shake hands with every man present, inquire affectionately into the state of his own health and that of each member of his family, and express the deepest sympathy on accouut of the “long dry spell” which was injuring his crop. Nor was this all; for, while the candidate was thus sympathizing with one of the sovereigns on account of his misfortunes, he would, almost in the same breath, succeed in convincing another “constituent” that upon Ais election depended whether or not a plank road should be made to pass close by the said constituent’s door, and whether or not the valueless sixteenth sectidh in that township should be enriched by an equalization of the school fund. We have often wondered how on earth the people are ever able to decide who to vote for, when all the candidates are such clever fellows, and all make such fine promises. Some years ago, before the State of Palmetto had determined to secede, we had occasion to pay a visit to the pleasant village of Carollton. The weather being quite warm, we cons cluded to stop, during the heat of the day, at the house of an old Florida fellow-soldier whom we had not seen for many years. He had retired upon his laurels, and, having got married, had, we understaod, been religiously fulfilling one of the most important scriptural injunctions. Three or four chubby flaxen-headed little fellows, almost in a state of nudity, were playing about the yard, and we had not been long under the roof of our hospitable friend before he caught and dragged up before us the largest, and apparently the oldest, of the group. The little fellow came foward very reluctantly, and, as he was tightly held by the collar of his only garment, his truggles caused it to cover rather less of his person than strict propriety required. Assoon as the youngster was brought in, the father exclaimed, “ Look here at this boy, Squire, and see what's curious about him.” The first thing, of course, which struck us was the curtailed state of his wardrobe, but this evidently was not the peint to which our friend wished to direct our attention. The next peculiarity which we noticed was a very complete and darkly defined circle quite visible around the circumference This we presumed had been caused by a hasty effort to wash him, the result of which was that the dusty particles which had been accumulating upon his face all day were removed from the central part around the nose and eyes, and had been snugly and symmetrically arranged into the aforesaid circle. Weno doubt looked somewhat puzzled, and were about to remark that we thought the little fellow had a very comical expression of countenance, when luckily we were cut short by the father’s remarking, “Ah, Squire, I see you don’t know anything about urnology. Why, it ain’t no longer than last week that Squire P (now one of the ornaments of our circuit bench) came along here, and he hadn’t more’n got into the yard before he says tome, ‘R——~,’ says he, ‘bring that little fellow here. What’s his name? Absalom is it? Well, it’s a good scripture name, fand I might almost have guessed that was it, because his hair has growed out so long. R——, have you ever had this boy’s head examined ?’” “Well,” continued R——, “this sort a took me back, ’cus I didn’t exactly know what the squire meant by having his head examined. So I told him I believed the old woman ‘tended to that. He laughed right out at this, and then told me he meant eramined furnologically, He) then took Absalom there, in his lap, and after feelin’ round his head for bumps, as he called ’em, he says to me, ‘R——,’ says he, ‘do a good part by this boy; he’s bound to make a man if you give him half a chance, head just exactly like Bonaparte and General Washington.’ addressing us very emphatically, my opinion that Squire P—— is about for the Legislatur, vote, sure!” We. soon after, ‘I'll tell you what it is,’ said B-—-——; . chaparral,” “its . bedt a quarter nag in doing my duty. the smartest man we've got running} golden plumage, who has been swimand he’ll get My} ming for the last four years in the . ence has been sentenced to one months left our old friend Auditor’s pond, at $5,000 a year.

I beat that all hollow; I give aman a chance to drink twice if he wishes, for not only turn around, but shut my eyes. I am not only the politest man, but the best electioneerer. You ought to see me shaking hands with the variations—the pump-handle and pendulum, the cross-cut and wiggle-waggle. 1 understand the science perfectly, and if any of the county candidates wish instructions they must call on me. Fellow-citizens, hadn’t been, I wouldn’t have been a candidate ; but I am going to tell you where ; ‘twas not in Mississippi, but ’twas onthe right side of the negro line; yet that’s no compliment, as the negroes are mostly born on the same side. I started in the world as poor as a church mouse, yet I came honestly by wf poverty, for I inherited it ; and if I did start poor, no man can say but that I have held my own remarkably well. Candidates generally tell you, if you think they are qualified, &c. Now, I don’t ask your thoughts; I ask your votes.
