TUE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND
CANADIAN INTEILESMS.
The social relations and eomniercial in-
tercourae of the United States and Cana-
da are se intimate and far reaching that
almost everything of a public character
that is done in one country is of interest,
. and some , degree of importance to the
other;therefore the nomination Ola can.
didate to fill the presidential chair for a,
term, of four years by one of the political'
parties that exist in that county, last-
wbeli at Chicago, is an event that should
command .some\degree of notice on this
sidn:the-lines. Our trade relations with
the ;United States are, of course, less or
more, affected by the 'party in power, and
the election of the candidate that would
bring about or aid in the most freedom of
ifitercourse with Canada, would naturally
be desired by us; but we are glad to think
that there are many in this'country who
are so .unselfish and henorable in spirit
that they only desire the success of that
party that profess and carry out- right
principles in government. Republi-
cans, as a -party,, in the past, poSsestied
many traits that entitled. thern to the Op-
i)ort of the peorie; but,.like nest• every
other human institution ' has grown
corrupt, and obstructive e'pregress

tion and rich country', with credit to
self and henor to the nation -which he
does not -he *should not receive the sup-

that commissioners Hardy and Gibson go
to Toronto or Hamilton to see the iren

empowered to employ a competent eogi-
neer, and, 11' necessary, to obtain appli-
ances to 'thoroughly test both Manchester
and. Grieve's 'bridge when completed, and
talce themoff thehandsof the contractors
when satisfactory. Council then adjourn-
ed to meet: again on the first Tuesday in
December next. • •

Returns to the Department of Agried-

of cotton is 87. against 86 in June last

in the area planted. :The .decrease in the,

tion of spring when average 101 per.cent.,

interests of workmen can scarcely deceive

have the wisdom and discretion to formu-
late a platform based Upon principle -and,
the general good of the. people, without
sectional and party preferences, and:chose
a candidate with au honest record, they.
can win the day. Already some or the

such as the New York Times, Harper's

DEAR, Stn, --We are called a law abid-
ing people in this part of the world, and
verily we are either that, or we ' have no
trace of manhood left in us. Let us hope
it is the former. But it would put to a
severe test the law abiding principles of
any man or woman in the connty of EN-
ron, were they to visit the pounty jail at
this time. ThereAs the perpetrator of
one of the meat hellish deeds .ever perpe•
trated, in one cell, and in another, bound
in a straight jacket, constantly raving, a
sight to make anyman's blood boil, is the
victim of the outrage. Outside, restored
to socidy, fondled, petted and pitied, are
poor Herbert and Smiles, the supposed
eiders and abettors in this case, placed
where they are partly through the aid .of
men who should blush for ehame at their
actions. IWant to ask what justice, what
fairness is there in the perpetrators being
restored to society, 'home and freedom,
while their poor victim lives a living
death, aye, worse than ,dead. Let theae
men who helped bail out these ruffians,
these devils in human forrn, go and see
the sight I have this'clay beheld, in the
person of poor Becky Bates, and if they
don't loathe theniaelves forthe part they
have Played, it is beeanite hen no
• vestige of manhood. Some say, forsooth,
it was merey,oti.their part to try and re-
store the fallen to the right path. It
makes me' sick to hear such rot spoken.
Pityl what pity has been extended to the,
• girl? Have these same angels of mercy(?)
these bondsmen, lifted their finger to help
her. Have they even made an 'enquiry
about her ? •Have the relations of. these
brutes, or have the repentant young men
(so called) done one.anigleihing_tow
providing for the girl's comfort? When
she is provided for, when she is cared for,
clothed, housed, and medical attendance
furnished, and all that can be done for
her has been done, then, 'and not till then,
let those interested turn their attentions
to the fiends who placed her where she is.
As Virgihius of old raised the riot against
the tyrant Appius, by showing the .blade.
reeking with+ his daughter's 'blood to the
people, so could a crowd be raised to mete
out fitting punishment to all concerned,
,by a sight of the poor Wretched victim, as
she now lays in _ Goderich. jail. I cry.
shame on those who, by their action, en-
courage such crimes. The time may,
come wh'en their own wife or 'their own
slaughter Might meet ,with alike fate, and
then they will yiew the crime in its real
• light.' Yours trulY, ' JtysTIC.
