ably by an account of an enormous cepha-
lopod seen by Lieutenant Houyer, about
forty leagues north of Teneriffe 1t is said
to have appeared thirty or forty feet in
length, having a soft, gelatinous body, like
an immense horn, about two yards wide in
the widest part, and surmounted by very
strong arms or tentacles. After being shot
at and harpooned, rope was passed around
the body of the creature, but the rope cut
the flesh, and only the posterior part Of the
body was captured Lieutenant Houyer
was afraid to let the sailors pursue the re-
mainder Of the tody in the boat, lest
its long tentacles armed with suckers,
might enable it to swamp them all. / is
said that the fishermen of the Canary Is

TYNG-A LING.

AN UNCHRISTIAN CAROL.
Attend and marvel willie sing
The dreadful sinfulness of Tying!
Stephen IL Tying, man Of note,
Prea ,hed in a wicked bob-tailed coat
Without his bands without Psalter
When Boggs declared he hadn't oughter
Sang hymns good Wesley loved and owned
Wherat abe Stubbses and Boggses groa ned,
Preached just as man to man should do,
Spoke Bible words, both good and true.
But, Oh !! my friends, from out the dust
Of ages, an old canon bust,
Wherein no bob-tailed coat was found,
Nor preacher out OF silken gown
Which proved we of the Word mistook,
When We the Bands" did overlook
Not preach ye unto every creature"
But Go not near another preacher
Paul must have bid them send his gorn
Instead Of cloak, from Toas down,
Must much have been aggried to see
Appoll g work thriyes famously ;
He surely trembled on Mars Hill,
Lest Boggs iu Athens take ii i'll
That he should point men 10 the light
Without single temple rite.
Peter and John sure sorely tried
Their diocese by work outside,
And broke some canons quite into
By power to speak and zeal to do.
How is this all
Tell us, We wise,
What is the liv'ry Of the skies ?
And what its chants ? We cannot tell,
But Boggs and Stubs both knew it we'll,

The Democracy of Connecticut, recent.
Is assembled at New Haven and renomi.
mated the old ticket Of LAST year, with
Hon. JAMES +. ExoLlsH for Governor.
The popularity Of Gov, English, alone is
a sufficient guarantee that the State will
again declare for the sovereignty Of the
States. We SHALL look in April Tor an
increased Democratic majority on the
general ticket and the gain Of both
branches of the Legislature. The follow
ing is an extract from the platform enun
ciated by the Convention:
THAT we are opposed to forcing ne
gro suffrage on other States, or Of estab-
fishing it in our own. We are opposed
to the first because we have no right to
interfere with the domestic affairs of 9TH
er sovereignties; we are opposed to the
second because the introduction of this
inferior element would only lead to de-
moralization.
THAT all experience has shown the
evil consequences and the futility Ofpass-
ing laws to abolish the social habits of
the people, that such laws violate the
liberty ofprivate judgment, are essential
ly tyrannical impossible to execute, and,
so far as they are attempted to be en-
forced increase the very evil they pre-
tend to remove.
THAT for his various vetoes and mes
sages protesting against the illegal acts
of q dismcmbcred Congress, and nobly
sustaining the organic law of the Repub-
lie, Andrew Johnson both merits and re
ceiyes the sincere thanks of the American
people. ... Il.
" That in this crisis of the country,
when all true patriots should unite their
votes and influence, We cordially invite
all Conservative men to act with us in up
holding the rights of the States and the
integrity of the Republic. ..a
THAT the Governor Of this State and
the other officers elected with him on the
State ticket, have performed their various
duties with marked ability and fidelity
and in commenting again to the suff'ragcs
of the people the ticket headed with the
name Of James f. English, we do 80 with
the full assurance that they will elect i,
by largely increased majority, and so
place the old Commonwealth still more
strongly on the side of that Federal Tn,
ion she so powerfully contributed to es-
tablish"
