. 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,

Bonaparte and General Washington.’
addressing us very emphatically,

you by the hand, ask you how’s your
family, what’s the prospect for crops,
&c., and I am the politest man there is
in the State. Davy Crockett says the
politest man he ever saw when he ask-~
ed a man to drink, turned his back so
that he might drink as much as he
pleased. 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. Why, there’s nothing to think
