fiddler, seated in the back ground Of

"Shoo Fly, don't bodder me" Revels,
the negro Senator from the State Of
Mississippi, is very much annoyed by
white funkeys who infest the Capitol
buildings at Washington.
ReveIs has issued orders to the door
keepers not to bring 20 him any more
of their cards-"He is engaged" or
mot at home"
The State lie in fact represents, has
been unrepresented in Congress for
near about ten years; business has,
therefore, accumulated, so that all the
time of the colored Senator is neces-
sarily monopolized in attention to the
the interests of his immediate constit-
uents. These admirers and syeho-
plants who dog the footsteps of the
Honorable Senator should at least have
the manners of a ~welLbred darkey,
and no longer "bodder" him.
The voters of the county will be call
ed upon to vote for or against Pixies, at
the Spring election, held on the 4th of
April next.
This is an important question to the
overburthened tax payers of this coun-
ty. Ifyou tax payers think you can
stand the payment of an annual Turn
Pike tax, in addition to the present
and prospective taxes. go to the polls
and vote for "Turn Pike Tax" But,
on the contrary, If you know that you
cannot bear the increased burthen
contemplated go to the polls and vote
against the project and urge upon your
neighbors to do likewise.
Hereabouts, in the vicinity Of the
County Seat, where the contemplated
Pixies, at least six in number, viii have
their starting point, the vote will be
large in favor of the proposed scheme.
After many years and q large ~expendi-
ture of money, the roads may be con-
structed to the county lines. 1t will,
however, require much time and the
expenditure of q vast sum of money
before the extreme points will realize
any considerable benefit from the con-
struction of Pixies.
We feel somewhat more Indifferent
upon this Pike question, at the pres
ent, than we did last fail, when it was
q more practical question to the mass
of the tax payers. Last fall, at the
election, they, the Anti-Pikers. had the
opportunity to put a quietus to this
Pike question. They had the game
all in their own hands, butwith some
men whom we might name, and who
started out uncompromising Anti-Pi-
kers, and made a great fuss and noise
about what they intended to do in the
premises, fzzled out, and became very
weak in the back and knees-profess
ing the interest of party, and went
back, like the dog, to his Vomit, and
the SOW to her wallow. These suspect
ing politicians thought the interest oil
the negro more important than the
Pike question, and they went to the
polls and voted for men who were
pledged to Pixies, and by their support
to a party ticket, assisted in putting
in place men who were known to be
notorious Pikers. Now, at this day
the poor, deluded creatures of both DO
iitical parties find the Pike question
unsettled and presented to them II
such q form they must, for their OWL
salvation, act, and that, too, promptly
and in concert, or go to the wall. A
majority vote now in Morgan county
in favor of a Turn Pike Road Tax, set
ties the question.
