The Philosophy of Politics
To doubt Our cuteness no one dares;
Our ships—machines, are all the rage ;
But when it comes to state alThirs,
We're wofully behind the age.
The sovereign peori!e 'tis I mean,
Good, honest hearted, generous souls,
Who by their servants long have been
Taught to believe their will controls.
We take our senate hall to be
The place where wisdom makes her throne
Our senators, for honesty .
The very purest ever-known.
But could we get behind the scene,
Where our sage senators prepare
Their s wise and wholesome laws I veers
'Twould make some honest people stare
The wire pullers know full well,
Good dinners are what rule the nation !
The Astor and New York Hotel,
Are the true halls of legislation.
All humbug, or those endless speeches,
Those gassy letters, statesmen write—
There's nought the understanding reaches,
Like minsrring to the appetite.
Champagne, and good French brandy, are
The things to carry through a bill;
One dinner'll do more service far,
Than fifty first rate speeches will.
Attack your foe in hot debate,
You rouse his pride, excite his ire,
Each word but serves to fan his hate,
And add new fuel to the fire.
Nor e'en by bland persuasive speech,
To win him to your purpose deem—
Your eloquence will only reach
His rivalry and self esteem.
Dh t if your enemy you fill
With warm and generous cheer, you win him,
And by one act of kindness, kill
All seeds of opposition in him.
J.lli9fellancous
Cape. Walker, the Texan Ranger.
All our readers remember with what a
thrill of regret the information was received,
during the period of the war with Mexico,
that this gallant soldier had perished in a
conflict with our country's enemies. His
name has become familiar to the American
people. They • remembered his brilliant
deeds on the Rio Grande, in cutting his way
with a few gallant companions through Ar
ista's large army, communicating with Fort
Brown, then besieged, and returning to
General Taylor with full information of the
state of things in the fort, and the position
of the Mexican army—all remember his
boldness and sagacity on the bloody fields
of Resaca de la Palma, where he unhorsed
a Mexican lancer, and chased the retreating
foe on the charger of the slain Mexican.—
These have become part of our national ale.;
ry and of our national records. They will
be immortal im history and in song. But
long before this Mexican war had begun,
Captain Walker had shown himself a hero.
In that extraordinary expedition, whose his
tory furnishes the most stiking examples of
the courage, fortitude, firmness, and vigor
of the American character, which have ev
er been recorded—the Texan expedition
against Mier—Sampel El. Walker, though
but a beardless youth, was one of the lead
ing spirits, ever foremost in the combat, and
the last to yield. Endowned with great
activity and skill in the use of arms. wheth
er the deadly rifle, the sure revolver, or the
irresistible bowie-knife; capable of great
endurance against all the dangers, sutler
ings, and trials of battle, of captivity, chains,
want and starvation—he was a terror to the
Mexicans. These qualities enabled him to
pass safely through the unparalled fight of
Mier, where two hundred Tteans kept at '
bay Amptulia and a largo and complete
Mexican army of two thousand, slaying five
or six hundred, and, only surrendering on
honorable terms, which were basely viola- ,
ted by the brutal Ampudia—to bear up un
der the horrible oppression and cruelty of
the Mexicans whilst a prisoner- 7 -to sustain
the severest visitations) of hunger, thirst,
and destitution in the desert valley; of Sala
-1 do—and, finally, to break through the walls
and iron bars of that famous Mexican Bus
tile, the castle of Peyote. By a strange
coincidence, he has now fallen in the neigh,
borhood of the castle where he Once pined
in captivity, but not in his former unhappy
condition, as one of a few ragged, dispirited
half-starved prisoners, jeered at by the das
tard Mexicans ; but he fell in glorious bat
tle, leading the charge of the resistless rang
ers, and in the arms of victory. Coptain
Whlker was one of the best spies or rang- .
ers in this continent. Colonel Hayes and
Maj..McCulloch have both said, that if they
required a man to go into the enemy's.carrip,
orapproach his lines,' and pry out, hia*.:
signs, or perform any other act reqhiring
.great courage, coolness,And sagacity, they:
would select Walker ikprefemnte tcriiny
'other man living. Just previous, to the at-
tack of the Texans on Mier. Captain Wal
ker entered the town, mixed with the peo•
pie, ascertained the condition of things, re
ported to his commander, and subsequently
guided the Texans through the streets of
Mier. Ile was then a youth of about twen
ty years.
Captain Walker died fighting fur his
country, not as the Texan ranger, but as an
officer, of the United States. From the
time that he landed in Mexico as a captain
in the rifles, until the day of his death, he
was constantly on the alert, annoyed the
enemy more than any other soldier posses
sed, of the same command.
"Who," writes a United States officer,
"has not seen or heard of the gallant Wal.
tier's-bravery -?----To-estirnate_him properly
one shoUld see him in his prop . ir element.
The Captain in the States is quite a differ
ent individual from the captain under the
calling fire of a foe. He is one of the few
who retain their courage and composure
under all circumstances. In perils the
most appalling, he has the courage of one
born to command. I was at his side in the
battle of La Hoye, when, with his company
(C) of the rifles, he charged and defeated
fifteen hundred Mexjcans. Would that
our fathers, wives, brothers and sisters could
have been placed on the summit of a neigh
boring tnountriin to witness that charge of
the rifles, as with uplifted glitteringsabres,
they obeyed the lond call of their leader—
'Follow me ! Charge ! Hurrah r--0 nd could
have seen how the numerous foe began to
waver, break, and finally take to their heels
before our little band.'
He finally fell at Huamantla. The bat
tle was hotly contested, there being two
thousand five hundred Mexican cavalry op
possed to two companies of our troops. In
the fight, Captain Walker while watching
the enemy, was struck, almost at the same
time, by two balls ; one hit hint in the fore
head, and the other pierced his breast
As he fell, he exclaimed, "Boys, forward,
and don't flinch a foot ! I know I'm dy
ing, but don't give away-"
Revolutionary Anecdote.
The Republic, a newspaper published :n
Ohio furnishes and interesting account of
a military achievement during the Ameri
can Revolution. It is said to be well au
thenticated and ought to be preserved, as il
lustrating the heroism as frequently exhib
ited in those times :
"During the siege of Savannah, Captain
French, of De Lancey's first battallion, with
one hundred men, (British regulars) was
posted on the Ogeehee river, about twenty
five miles from Savannah. There lay also
at the same place live armed vessels,
the largest mounting fourteen guns, and
having on board altogether forty-one men.
Colonel White, Captain Etholm, three
soldiers, and the Colonel's own servant—in
all six—approximated this post on the even
ing of the :30th of September, 1770 and kind
ling a large number of fires, summoned
French to surrender. White and his coin
rades, at the same time were riding about
in various directions, and giving orders
in a loud and peremptory voice, as if per
forming the duties of a staff to a large
army. French giving full credit to the
reality of what he saw, and being very so
licitous to spare the exorbitant effusion of
blood, which must inevitably he the conse
quence of an engagement with a force su•
perior in number, surrendered the whole de
tachment, together with the crews of the
five vesselsamounting in all to one hun
dred and forty-one men, and one hundred
and thirty stand of arms. -
Col. White had yet the most intricatic
part of this delusive game to
. play ; his
whole force being stratagem, it was neces
sary to . keep up the delusion of Captain
French until the prisoners were secured.
To the accomplishment of this important.
end, Colonel White represented to. French
the animosity of his troops as being so un
governable that a little stratagem would be
necessary in order to preserve the prisoners
from massacre, by the injured,and revenge
ful Americans ; and therefore suggested
the plan of placing them under the'conduct
'of three guides, who should conduct them
to a place of safety. With many thanks
for the Col.'s humanity, French accepted
the proposition, and marched °Mat a quick
pace under the direction of three guides
fearful at every step, that the insatiable
White's troops would overwhelmingly burst
upon them, like voluminous mountains of
lava, which bursting from the heaving vol
cano, moves with inconceivable velocity,
dealing sudden demolition to the surround
ing villages,. in defiance of White's humane
attempts to restrain them. W bite, as soon
its they were nut of sight, employed himself
in collecting the miltia of the neighborhood
with whom he overtook the prisoners, and
convoyed them twenty-fi lie - miles, in great
safety to an American .- fort. Thus ended
the greatest stratagem ever recorded in his
tory.
If the Revoloilmary. War had not been
replete with unprecedented achievrnenta of
skill and, bravery:, we wotild at this time, in
my humble opinion, have beep . crouchirig to

The Tiger and Dog.
In Saigo, where dogs are dog cheap, we
used to give the tigress one every day.—
They were thrown alive into her cage, when
after playing with her victim for a time, as
a cat does with a mouse, her eyes would be
gin to glisten and her tail to vibrate, which
were the immediate precursors of death to
the. devoted _little prisoner which was imme;
diately seized by the back of the neck, the
incisors of the sanguinary beast perforating
the jugular arteries, while she would trav
erse the cage, the bars of which she lashed
with her tail, and suck the blood-of her-prey.-
which hung suspended from her month.—
One day a puppy, not at all remarkable or
distinguished in appearance from the com
mon herd was thrown in who imnied iately, on
perceiving his situation, set up a dismal yell
and attacked the tigress with great fury
snapping at her n6se, from which he drew
some blood. The tigress appeared to be
amused with the puny rage of the puppy.
and with as good humored an expression of
countenance as so ferocious an animal could
be supposed to assume, she affected to treat
it all as play ; and sometimes spreading her
self at full length on her side, at others.
crouching in the manner of the fabled
sphynx, she would ward off the incensed
