Sea serpent in GOOD Earnest.

The British have beaten US all to smash
in the sea serpent business, and we may as
well give in. Capt. Taylor, of the bark
British Banner, recently arrived at Liver.
pool England, declares that the following
extract from his log is perfectly correct.
On the 25th of April in latitude ~ de-
grees inmates, east longitude SO degrees,

mate to see what was up the latter called

feet long, was about the circumference of

nose, aud jaws eight feet long.
He did not observe me, and continued
shaking the bowsprit and throwing the sea

was powerful enough, although the ship was
carrying all sail, aud going about six knots

The Golden summer-Days.

And weft of purple rain,

Weaves the Summers robe again.

Grows the marvel OF her loom,

Fruitful wreath and floral plume. .
Welcome, Summer come TO win Us
From our woes, with song and sheen,
How the weary hearts within US
Freshen in thy food of green
How the soul her wings uncloses,
Scars all sOrdid cares above,
AS from lips of opening roses
POurs the perfume-breath Of love
When the glossy waters quiver,
Shaken by the wandering breeze,
Arm in arm upon the river
Dance the shadows on the trees
And while winds ana waves and waters
Thus 10 Earth's grand gala play.
Shall not we, her sons and daughters,
Keep our Mothers halliday +?
Yet, fair summer.transient poem

What this Earth with sn-tears stained
To that Paradise unblighted,

Never cOmeth want or woe,
In that world, from which there falleth
But CLEAN on worlds below.

Ambushed, turks no serpent guile

Worcester, Sept. 4th, 1860.

In another place we print correspondence
between Hon. Eli Thayer and his friends, in
which he is announced as an independent can
didate for representative in the next congress
This correspondence tells us nothing new
Mr. Thayer's position and purpose were al
ready very clear to everybody in the district
He began the canvass as an Independent cand-
date, not because he was forced to take such
position outside the republican party, but
because he and his friends, on consulta-
ton, preferred to have it SO and we
presume he has such an understanding
and such arrangements with men connected
with parties hostile to the republican organi-
cation as require him to take the course which
is now publicly announced. The policy he
has been led to adopt has not allowed him to
seek a republican nomination in the usual
way, nor to pay much regard to the welfare
of the republican party, wherever obligation
to it might interfere with his own aims.
1t was his intention to run for congress
at any rate, and to run as an independ
ent candidate, because it was not deemed ad.
yisabe to recognize obligation to sustain the
regular action of the republican party of the
district.
To most persons it will be surprising, 20 say
the least, that the men whose names are sub
scribed tosthe letter to which he replies, were
prominent actors in the republican caucus
called to elect delegates to the district conven-
ton. They were all there seeking to be elected
md o.
participators in the proceedings. And yet,
these gentlemen had already decided that
they would disregard the action of the con-
vention and support an independent candidate
and, what is more, they themselves had been
the principal actors in bringing out this indie.
pendent candidate. 1t is not necessary for us
to characterize this proceeding. Candid peo-
pie will judge of it for themselves. They had
no more business or right in such caucus
than any other men standing outside the re-
publican party, and refusing to be bound by
its regular action in regard to candidate for
congress.
The republican convention to nominate a
candidate for congress, will meet in this city
to-day. Whoever it may nominate will be
earnestly supported by the republican party;
and he will be elected. We are persuaded
that the representatives of the party who will
come together in this convention, will act
wisely. This is not time when any ques-
tionable influence should be allowed to control
the result, or interfere in any way to prevent
what is wisest and best. The importance of
I
and therefore we believe the convention will
properly meet the occasion by selecting a
strong and efficient candidate, and that no per-
sonal claim, nor any other special interest, will
prevail against the best man.
