‘‘Down In Alabama.”
The New York Spirit of the Times
Is responsible fur the following tale
of a traveler;
I was riding in the western part
of the State of Alabama, not long
since, partly on business connected
with a railroad company, and partly
on an expedition in search of ad
ventures. Night found me in the
woods-, hungry,- cold, and- houseless.
To strike a camp and sleep in the
recesses of a forest is nothing un
common to an Alabamian; and sol
passed a very comfortable night.
The nCxunoming, I was ignorant of
my whereabouts. I knew not whe
ther I was in Wayne county, Mis
sissippi. or Choctaw or Sumter coun
ty, Alabama. 1 determiml to ask*
the first person I met. Presently
there came along a tall gawky, riding
a white mule, with a bark bridle and
no saddle. I thus accosted hint:
“I say, my son, can you tell me
what county am I in ?’’
The young fellow, after about ten
minutes’ continued effort to rein and
stop his “crcter,” looked at me with
a long, vacant stare, and then bawled
out the euphonious word:
“Tickeboru.”
Seeing at once that lie did not
know what county it was, I thought
I would try him on ‘'State Rights;”
so I asked him what State I was in.
His answer was somewhat shorter,
and delivered in a lower tone than
the other:
“Tiekebom.”
Confident he was ignorant of State
Rights, I asked him which was the
Court house ; for by learning that,
I tyultl know where I was. So I
asked him:
“Wh^re do people go to Conrt
aboj^lierfi ?"
^^ilis eye twinkled with a droll ex
pression of mirth and delight, whet
he answered:
“Down to Squirt Ross’s, I reckor
for lie’s got the prettiest gals in th’
county.”
I soon after left my solitary frien
the swamp of Tiekebom Creek, an
de my way to Squire ltoss’s, wh
put me on the right road.

What General Taylor said to Santa Annr
A correspondent of a Northern pt

what Gen. Taylor did say in reply t
Santa Anna’s summons at Buen:

that must entl in the utter defeat o

surrender was reported by Colotyei
Bliss, who, when he had translated it
to Old Zuck, asked what reply he
should make:

his usual prompt and emphatic man

supreme; politics is a finmo at which
they play for their own diversion or
aggrandisement, and the people but
the chessmen which checker the
board, and whose position, regulated
by the hand that moves them, deter
mines the issue. It may be readily
imagined what elements are invoked
to decide such a struggle—that pop
ular rights and sovereignty become
mere mockeries as parts of our insti
tutions, ami that “Muscle and Mo
ney,” in the expressive language of
a contemporary, become tho real
arbiters at the polls. The people
are no longer free, but a mere band
of subsidised voters, with no will of
their own, and doing the bidding and
pursuing, the ends of every dema
gogue who may have the influence or
muney to. purchase them- Is . this
not the case to-day in many portions
of our countiy? Take the great
cities of the North ; will any honest
man pretend to maintain that their
elections are carried by. the free, un
bought suffrages of tho people, ac
cording to the theory of our govern
ment? We apprehend not.

thirst for office,; the desire to .live on
tit© public treasury in preference to
tiie proceeds of an honest, indepen
dent calling; the trite saying now
grown into it practical maxim, that,
“to the victors belong the spoils’’—
these are the instrumentalities that
have brought about, the present
disastrous anil alarming condition of
the country, and which, unchanged,
aro bound to lead to aGarcby und wild
confusion. The success of party, is
no longer looked to as triumph of
particular principles or measures in
the practical administration of the
government, but as the means by
which the government coffers and
honors are to be laid open ta the
victors. With litis view, there are
thousands in every State, who have
no other politics than to g^t on. the
winning side.
