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 of Anti* freedom and conunercial pros- perity,- by its control faliing into the hands of political trickilters, and trade and coMmercial robbers: • Even it' Blaine, the nominee, had been,a, good man, with an unitained•record, with abilities fitting • him to preside over such, a vaet.poptilit- tion and rich country', with credit to self and henor to the nation -which he does not -he *should not receive the sup- port of the people in consequeote of the iniquitous platform put forth by the party: There is scarcely an honestsentence in it, except it maybe said to be honest' in showing thei4eolors at °hoe, which is done to; catch the selfish: and corrupt in • certain'quarters: . • the Prifforin is an 014 and out bid. ler. tie-prothctionists in every section, auSing a gooddeal of bankurn to; tiondust' in • , the eyes and deceive the tinwary-liaiping. upon'the:panher lathor of "Eifrorieitnd'fbs•::- tering home industrieS-preventing the • destructive competition of foreign • collo- tries, etc., at the'same• time prpmisink the commercial marine that legislative aid it needs -to firing it back into 0514etice, de- stroyed as it has been hy.the'litoteetiye. policy that They threaten to centinim :and s t length • He must be a stupid : man indeed if he eitnnot'SeKtnat the farneere • of the' tinited. 8tate5,-In'etery particular, Must, and do • • compete with the farmers of the world.

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. Clinton, June 11, 1884: .
