THE STANDING CANDIDATE. ! BY 80LTAIRE. ' At Buffalo Head, Nianga County, State of Missouri, , durin" the canvass of 1844, tliere was held an extensive Political Barbecue, and the several candidates for Congress, legislature, county offices, etc., were all congregated at this southern point, for the purpose of makin" an immense demonstration. Hards, soft, wings and" Tylerites were represented, and to hear their several expositions of State and general policy, a vast gatherin" of the Missouri sovereigns had also assembled. AVhiTe the impatient candidates were awaiting the signal to mount the " stump," an odd-looking old man made his appearance at the brow of a small hill bounding the place of meeting. " Hurrah for old Sugar I" shouted an hundred voices, while on, steadily, progressed the object of the cheer. Sugar, as he was familiarly styled, was an old man, apparently about fifty years of age, and was clad in a coarse suit of brown linsey-woolsey. His pants were patched at each knee, and around the ankles they had worn off into picturesque points his coat was not of the modern close-fitting cut, but hung in loose and easy folds upon his broad shoulders, while the total absence of buttons upon this garment, exhibited the owner's contempt for the storm and the tempest A coarse shirt, tied at the neck with a piece of twine, completed his body covering. His head was ornamented with an old woollen cap, of divers colors, below which beamed a broad, humorous countenance, flanked by a pair of short, funny little gray whiskers. A few wrinkles marked his brow, but time could not count them as sure chroniclers of his progress, for Sugar's hearty, sonorous laugh oft drove them from their hiding-place. Across his shoulder was thrown a sack, in each end of which he was bearing to the scene of political action, a keg of Iran new whiskey, of his own manufacture, and he strode forward on his moccason-covered feet, encumbered as he was, with all the agility of youth. Sugar had long been the standing candidate of Nianga county, for the legislature, and founded his claim to the office upon the facts of his being the first " squatter" in that county his having killed the first bar there, ever killed by a white man, and, to place his right beyond cavil, he had 'stilled the first keg of whiskey ! These were strong claims, which urged in his comic, rhyming manner, would have swept the "diggins," but Sugar, when the canvass opened, always yielded his claim to some liberal purchaser of his fluid, and duly annouueed himself a candidate for the next term. " Here you air, old fellar P shouted an acquaintance, " allays on hand 'bout 'lection." " Well, Nat," said Sugar, " you've jest told the truth as easy as ef you'd taken sum of my mixtur Whar politicians congregate. I'm allays there, ;it any rate I ... " Set him up ! set the old fellar up somewhat-, and let us tike a univarsal liquor 1" was the general shout " Hold on, boys, keep cool and shady," said old Sugar, " whar's the candidates ? none of your splurgiti round till I get an approbation for the sperits. Send 'em along, and we'll negotiate for the fluid, artcr which I shall gin 'em my instructions, and they may then percede to Talk away like nil crea-a-tion, What they knows about the nation. The candidates were accordingly summoned up to pay for Sugar's portable grocery, and to please the crowd and gain the good opinion of the owner, they made up a purse, and gathered round him. Sugar had placed his two kegs upon a broad stump, and seated himself astride of them, with a small tin cup in his hand, and a paper containing brown sugar lying before him each of his kegs was furnished with a spigot, and as soon as the money for the whole contents was paid in, Sugar commenced addressing the crowd as follows: " Boys, fellars, and candidates," said he, " I, Sugar, am the furst white man ever seed in these your diggins I killed the furst bar ever a white skinned in this county, and Iialkilato I hev hurt the feelings of his relations sum sence, as the bar-skin linin' of my cabin will testify ; 'sides that, I'm the furst manufacturer of whiskey in the range of this district, and powerful mixture it is, too, as the biliu' of fellars in this crowd will declar ; more'n that, I'm a candidate for the legislatiir, and intend to gin up my claim this term, to the fellar who can talk the pootyesl ; now, finally at the eend, boys, this mixtur" of mine will make a fellar talk as iley as goose-greaso, as sharp as Iigbtnin', and as er-suadin' as a young gal at a quiltin', so don't spar it while it lasts, and the candidates can drink furst, 'cause they've got to do the talkin' 1 " Having finished his charge, lie filled the tin enp full of whiskey, put in a handful of brown sugar, and with his forefinger stirred up the sweetening, then surveying the candidates, he pulled off his cap, remarking, as he did so : " Old age, allays, afore beauty 1 your daddy furst, jn course," then holding up the cup he offered a toast, as follows : " Here is to the string that binds the states ; may it never be bit apart by political rats !" Then holding up the cup to his head, he took a hearty swig, and passed it to the next oldest looking candidate. While they were tasting it, Sugar kept up a fire of lingo at them : " Pass it along lively, gentlemen, but don't spar the fluid. You can't help tellin' truth arter you've swallerd enough of my mixtur', jest fur this reason, its been 'stilled in honesty, rectified in truth, and poured out with wisdom 1 Take a leetle drop more," said he to a fastidious candidate, whose stomach turned at thought of the way the " mixtur " was mixed. " Why, Mister," said Sugar, coaxingly, Efyon w.ira babhy, just new born, 'Twould do you good, this juicy tornl . " No more," I thank you," said the candidate, drawing back from the proffer. " Sugar winked his eye at some of his cronies, and muttered "He's got an a-ristocracy stomach, and can't go the native licker." Then, dismissing the candidates, he shouted, "crowd up, consfitooertta, into a circle, and let's begin fair your daddy furst, allays ; and mjnd, no changin' places in the circle to git the sugar in the bottom of the cup. I know you're arter it, Tom Williams, but none on your Yankcein' round to get the sweetnin' it's all syrup, fellers, 'cause Sugar made and mixed it The gals at the frolicks allays git me to prepar' the cordials, 'cause they say I make it mighty drinkable. Who next ? What you, old Ben Dent I Well, hold your hoss for a minit, and I'll strengthen the tin with a speck more, jest because you can kalkilate the valee of the licker, and do it jestiss!" Thus chatted Sugar, as he measured out and sweetened up the contents of his kegs, until all who would drink had taken their share, and then the crowd assembled around the speakers. We need not say that the virtues of each political party were duly set forth to the hearers that follows as a matter of course, candidates dwell upon the stroncr nointe of their argument

always. One anion" them, however, more than his compeers, attracted the attention of our friend Suga?; not because he had highly commended the contents of his kegs, but because he painted with truth and feeling the claims of the western pioneers ! Among these ho ranked the veteran Col. Johnson and his compatriots, and as he rehearsed their struggles in defence of their firesides, how they have been trained to war by conflict with her ruthless savage, their homes oft desolated, and their children murdered, yet, still ever foremost in the fight, and last to retreat, winning the heritage of these broad valleys for their children, against the opposing arm of the red man, though aided by the civilized power of mighty Britain, and her serried cohorts of trained soldiery ! We say, as he dwelt upon these themes, Sugar's eye would fire up, and then at some, touching passage of distress dwelt upon by the speaker, tears would course down his rude cheek. When the speaker concluded, he wiped his eyes with his hard hand, and said to those around him : " That are true as the yearth ! thar's suthin' like talk in that fellar! he's the right breed, and his old daddy has told 'em about them times. So did mine relate 'cm to me, how the ony sister I ever had, when a babby, hail her brains dashed out by one of the redskinned devils ! But didn't we pepper them fur it ? Didn't I help the old man, afore he grew too weak to hold his shootin' iron, to send a few on 'em off to rub out the account ? Well, I did ! Hey 1 " and shuttin' his teeth together he yelled through them the exultation of full vengeance. The speaking being done, candidates and hearers gathered around old Sugar, to hear his comments upon the speeches, and to many inquiries of how he liked them, the old man answered : " They were all pooty good, but that tall feller they

call Tom. from St. Louis: vou.l mean, stranqer," point

ing at the same time to the candidate, " you jest scart up my feelin's to the right pint you jest made me feel wolfish as when I ana oia clad war arter ine reu varmints ; and now what'll you take ? I'm goin' to publicly rfe-cline in your favor." ' Pouring out a tin full of the liquor, and stirring it as before, he stood upright upon the st ump, with a foot on each side of his kegs, and drawing off his cap, toasted : " The memory of the Western pioneers T A shout responded to his toast, which echoed far away in the depths of the adjoining forest, and seemed to awaken a response from the spirits of these departed horoes. . - " That's the way to sing it out, boys," responded old Sugar, " sich a yell as that would scar an inimy into ager fits, and make the United States Eagle scream, 'Hail Columby." . " While you're up, Sugar," said one of the crowd, " give us a stump speech yourself." " Bravo !" shouted a hundred voices, " a speech from Sugar." - " Agreed, bovs," said the old man, " I'll jest gin a few words to wind up with, so keep quiet while your daddy's talkin'; Sura tell H out Jest like a song, 1'il gin itto you sweet und strong. " The ony objection ever made to mo in this arr county, as a legislatur', was made by the wimin' 'cause I war a bachelor, and I never told you afore why I remained iu the state of number one no feller stays single ire-meditated, and, in course, a hansum foliar like me, who all the gals declar to bo as enticin' as a jay bird, warn't goin' to stay alone, ef he could help it I did see a creatur once, named Sofy Afason, up the Cumberland, nigh unto Nashville, Tennessee, that I took an orful hankerin' arter, and I sot in to lookin' anxious fur matrimony, and gin to go reglarto meetin', and took to clressin tremengeous nnilied, jest to see el I could get her good opinion. She did git to lookin' at me, and one day, cumin' from meetin', she was takin' a look at me a kind of shy, just as a hoss does at something he's seared at, when arter champin' at a distance fur awhile, I sidled up to her, and blarted out a few words about the sarmin' she said yes, but cuss me ef I knew whether that war the right answer or not, and I'm a thinkin' she did'nt know then, nuther 1 Well, we larfcd and talked a leetle all the way along to her daddy's, and thar I gin her the best bend I had in me, and raised my bran new hat as peert and perlite as a minister, lookin' all the time so enticin' that I sot the gal tremblin'. He? old daddy had a powerful numerous lot of healthy niggers, and lived right adjinin'my place, while on tother side lived Jake Simons a sneakin' cute varmint, who war wusser than a miser for stinginess ; and no sooner did this cussed sarpint see me sidhn' up to Sofy, than he went to slikin' up, too, and sot himself to work to cut me out That arr wur a straggle ekill to the battle of Orleans. Furst sum new fixup of Jake's would take her eye, and then I'd sport suthin' that would outshine him, until Jake at last gin in tryin' to outdress me, and sot thinkin' of suthin' else. Our farms wur just the same number of acres, and we both owned three niggers a-piece. Jake knew that Sofy and her dad kept a sharp eye out fur the main chance, so he thort he u clar me out by buyin' another nigger j but I jest follor'd suit, and bought one the day arter he got his, so he had no advantage thar ; he then got a cow, and so did I, and jest about then both on our pusses gin out. Tins put Jake to his wit s eend, and 1 war a wundenn what in the yearth he would try next We stood so, hip and thigh, fur about two weeks, both on us talkin' sweet to Sofy, whenever we could frit her alone. I thort I seed that Jake, the sneakin' cuss, wur a gittin' a mite ahead of me, cause his tongue wur so iley; however, I didn't let on, but kep a top eye on him. One Sunday mornin' I wur a little mite late to meetin', and when I got thar, the first thing I seed war Jake Simons, sittin' close bang up agin Sofy, in the same pew with her daddy f I biled a spell with wrath, and then tarned sour ; I could taste myself! Thar they wur, singiii' himes out of the same book. Je-e-eminy, fellers, I war so enormous mad that the new silk handkercher round my neck lost its color ! Arter meetin', out they walked, linked arms, a smilin' and lookin' as pleased as a young couple at thar furst christenin', and Sofy turned her ' cold shoulder at me so ortul pinted, that I wilted down, and gin up right straight Jake had her, thar war no disputin ltl 1 headed toward home, with tax hands as fur in my trowsers pockets as I could push 'em, swarin' all the way that she war the last one would ever git a chance to rile up my feelin's. Passin' by Jake's plantation I looked over the fence, and thar stood an explanation of the matter, right facin' the road whar every one passin' could see it his consarned cow was tied to a stake in the gardin' with a most promising calf along side of tier lhat caij jest soured my milk, and made Sofy think, that a fellar who war allays gittin' ahead like Jake, wur a right smart chance for a lively husband P' A shout of laughter here drowned Sugar's voice, and as soon as silence was restored he added, in a solemn tone, with one eye shut, and his forefinger pointing at his auditory : " What is a cussed sight wusser than his eettin Sofy war the fact, that he borrowed that calf the night before from Dick Hardlcy ! Artcr the varmint got Sofy hitched, he told the ioke all over the settlemenf. and the boys never seed me arterwards that they didn't o-a-n at me Jur lettm a cait cut me out of a ears affec tions. I'd a shot Jake, but I thort it war a free country, and the gal had a right to her choice without bem made a widder, so i jest sold out and travelled !
