A HOME THRUST The amusing farce called
southern Commercial Convention is to be
repeated this year at Knox vile, Tenn, open
ing on the tenth of August. The Baltimore
american does the thing full and exact JUS
tice, when it says:
+" Really, we think it time that the South
ern Railroad companies should kill off this
most miserable of all unmitigsted humbugs,
by refusing to transport the delegates free of
charge. Charge them for their tickets, and
their gas about Southern commerce will find
some other safety valves than these Southern
commercial conventions. Perhaps it is onr
devotion to our native South, mingled with
our contempt for humbugs that makes us
feel sense of humiliation not unmingled
with loathing, when we hear of their South
ern commercial conventions. They have now
been in operation six or eight years or more,
and if any man can point to benefit that has
resulted therefrom, at all commensurate with
the thousandth part of the liquor the del
egates have guzzled down their threats, we
should be pleased to hear it. Indeed, they
seem to have become the mere occasion for
drinking and gormandizing.'

/ the writer of this article had another binding
obligation upon him, to justify his course in re-
iusing to sustain the nomination of Mr.. Banks.
Before the nomination was made, resolution
was adopted in the Convention by unanimous
vote, which read as follows;

sachusetts adheres with unwavering fidelity to
the principles of the Philadelphia platform that
it recognizes those principles the only test of

| dates for public office who do not heartily une-
quivocally, and in good faith, subscribe to those
| principles, aud acknowledge them as the para
mount OBJECT of political action.
With my understanding of the purport of this
resolve, Mr.. Banks's letrer of acceptance is any
thing but satisfactory to me, and I very well
know that my views upon this subject in har.
mOny with those of at least portion of the COM
mittee by whom it was drafted. My colleague
thinks differently. He sees in Mr.. Bankss let
ter a virtual endorsement Of the Republican
platform, and commitment of himself to the
party. With my distrust of him as public man,
the letter has not relieved him from the ambigu-
Gus position in which he stood, in my estimation,
prior to the meeting of the Republican Conven-
ton, and Of course cannot conscientiously give
to him my support. In all such cases, every enc
must judge for himself. l see no occasion for
any farther controversy upon the subject, and

views, consistent in that which he has taken. 1t

my previous declarations.

tier, in two of the favorite " blue and gold vol
umes. A long time has been given to the prep.
aration of this edition, and no pains have been
spared either by the publishers or by the poet. to
render it perfect one. 1t embraces all the poems
which are contained in the octave volume for
mery published by Mr. B. B. Muzzey, and
more recently by his successors, and everything
which Whittier has since written. Among the
latter poems many which have been contrib
uted to various newspapers and periodicals, and
are now for the first time included in any volume.
Such a collection of Whittier's poem has long
been needed. There is no other American poet
who unites to such delicacy of feeling so much OF
strength and FIRE of diction. He thinks clearly
and deeply, decides justly, then speaks out freely
and like the honest man he is. When he writes,
it is because he is impeled 10 il by the soul with
in, and not by mere fancy for weaving pleasant
rhymes. Therefore, whether he sings the gentle,
graceful ballads which hint to us of his quiet
Quaker life, or pours Tout the feryent stanzas
whose burden is liberty and truth, we still are
moved to admiration of she genius Of the author
lifelike portrait of him, prepared expressly for
this edition, embellishes the first volume, a new
likeness having been taken of Whittier early in

Tho FIowcrs.

The gentle summer now is here,
With joy we greet the sunny hours;
Now natures varied charms appear
Yet all would still be lone and dree-
Without the lovely flowers.
In the deep forests silent shade
Are fragrant dewy blossoms pale;
Respringing in each dell and glade,
The swelling bud and trembling blade
Their balmy breath exhale.
How sweet the livelong day to stray
Ger meadows filled with daisies white
Through fields all bright with hoWery spray
And pluck the blossoms fresh and gay
That tempt the wandering sight.
When the dark shadows of the night
Arouod the dropping flowers close,
Hast thou no. watched the fading light,
And seen each trembling blossom bright
Sink to its calm reps Sc?
And when the mornings rosy.hue
Bright in the eastern sky appears,
Doest not thou then with rapture view
The buds all wet with sparkling dew,
Like bright eyes filed with tears!
Then comes the genial warmth of day
Each blossom lifts its languid head,
The pearly dew drops haste away
Beneath the SUMS enchanting ray,
Upon each 1owhet shed.
Then Of the flowers a lesson learn
Like them in meek forbearance live;
Meier lie. the angry passions burn,
No troubling night but the return
OF morn sweet peace will give.
