As the time approaches for the Election contests in the States and in Britain the combstents on both sides, begin 10 show their hands, and 10 indicate the tactics they inean to pursue, and both sides give un. mistakable proof (hat they will be no ways ecrupglous regarding the weapons they use. "Each party have evidently made up their « minds 10 resort to any means foul and fair, if it 18 likely to forward their object. Al- ready the poisoried darts fly thick and fast, * and the iniquitous system of bribery 1s al- ready begun fo stalk forth at noon-day. This is true alike of Britain and America, all parties seém to have come™o the con- " clusion that the end justifies the means. We have in the States a coutest for the , Presidency, the first since the introduction of the new order of things--ths first time the nation has spoken on the results of the war ; the chief result of which is the eman- cipation of the slave. The Republicans - have selected Grant and Colfax, as Presi- dent and Vice President ; while the choice of the Democrats has fallen upon Seymour and Blair, The triends of each aspirant for place . and power, are busily engaged spreading abroad the virtues of their favorite oandi- deter, while the adversaries of these are equally anxious to hawk around the follies and vioes, real and imaginary, not of the candidates alone, but with malignant gusto trace back to remotest ancestry, the errors and short comings of their opponent's rela- tions. The Democrats assert most confidently 1hat the election of the men of their choice will save the nation from desolation snd ruin ; while the R publi deol equal sincerity that it is only the men of their obaice which can save the nation. Be this a8 1t may we do not expect that the na- Gon is likely 10 go to pieces, whichever party obtaing the reins of government, nei- ther do we imagine that the election of +etther a Grant or a Seymour, will introduce a political millennium into that somewhat mercurial land. Whatever may be the re- sult, we sincerely hope that the reins of government may fall into those hands best fitted to sodure 10 that nation, a Jong and Uninterrupted enjoyment of the blessings of Peace, and ensure to her the full benefit of fhe late expensive and cruel war, so that the gory streams from that nation's heart, may not have flowed in vain, that the mangled bodies of her fallen sons may not upbraid her with casting away the purchase whioh has cost them so dear. Seymour and Blair have a very small chance of success, still their party is power- fol and capable of making a desperate fight, Two moathe more will tell the tale, whether the Republican or Democrat shall role the nation--at no previous election were the patty lines more distinctly drawn. The contest 1 Britain will be equally severe. There too the party lines are most clearly and distinctly marked ; and the bit- terness of party feeling is already manifest- ing 'itself with a virulence and rancour, hitherto unknown in British Politics. _ The meanness and treachery of political intrigue are beginning to show themselves in the most unmist kable manner. The acknowledged leader of the Reform port is Mr. Gladstone, one of the ablest men in Britain, while My. Disraeli, a politician of uncommon shrewdness, and of marked ability 'ie the Coneervative Chief. The prospects so far, are decidedly in favor of the reform party, snd the fury of the Con- servalives 1s manifesting iteelf in various ways, some of them are] soffar forgetting themselves amidst their threats of ail serts of vengence as to hint that civil war may follow the of their party. The re- formers on the'other hand are descending to the lowest depths of meannessin seeking to injute their opponents, So far indeed, have tliey stooped as to comings of the Jewish nation 10 the leader ae i os soamy ularly ppory ; 1 is 'wothing less than the diendowment of the Church of Ireland. This of uself is sufficient to creat one of the bitterest con- tests which have Pe itain 10 sorew up is cry is as false Beformens may be obey Tis $e Sh mer i they cannot be obarged with their leanings towards that faith and none kiiow this bet ter and resent it more than the members of that Church. The fact is that the disendow- ment of the Church of Ireland takes from the Church of Rome its strongest ples, while it will infuse a life and vigor into the Church of Ireland, to which it has been an.uiter stranger for years past. But be this as it may, disendowment will be the baitle ory, and both parties will make the most of it. Talk not of bribery and corruption at elect- ions till the approaching elections in Britain are past. This will be a party life and death struggle, princes, potentates, bishops and priests will be all into the melee ere the struggle is o'er. This will be a a combat for party supremacy, and whichever party succeeds in geiting the ascendency will doubtless have a long lease of power, and carry matters preity much their own way for many years to come. -------- i --eee. BE JUST BEFORE YOU ARE GEN. EROUS, When the Dominion Parliament in May last fixed the salaries of ihe various Domin- ion officers and public servants ; the salary of the Gonernor General was, of course, fix-' ed with the others, and the very handsome sam of $32,500 per gonum, or in other words his pay was fixed at r week. This did not come up to-thy" which that officer had been léad to expect--it was expected that nearly $1000'per week should be given to that officer, consequently dissat- isfaction with the amount offered was the consequence, and, by the advice of minis- ters, the Governor refused to sanction the Bill granting the smaller amount. The Governor of gourse could not well give up his situation as people generally do when they consider the remuneration insufficient. He burried the Bill off to England for the sanction of the Duke of Backingham. In that happy land where money is no object, where officials get nearly all that is going, and where $625 per week is a mere baga- telle. Tne Duke disapproved of the bill in toto, writes a long communication to the Canadian Government 10 that effect and points out other colonies which give more money to their Governors, just as if that had the least bearing on the case. What is it to the peogle of Canada how much the good folks of Victona may please to give their Governor? And what is it to any party cut of the Dominion how much we give to our Governor? Who has any authority, to say how much shall be paid except those who pay it? The Canadian Government, after having taken the matter into their serions consideration and comparing our ability to pay on one hand with the services to be rendered on the other, asserted by a very large majority of votes that $625 per week was abundantly sufficient, and this decision was endorsed by at least nineteen out of every twenty of the people throughout the with |S Dominion. They thought so then and they think so still, notwithstanding the demurrer of the Colonial office, and the chances are that the people here know how to manage these matters fully as well as the Duke,-- Pp our parli; should again vote as they did before. What then? There is no reason why they should change their vote. The fewer instances of such med- dling the better for all concerned. So long as Downing street is willing to send us a Governor we shall be satisfied and accept of him gladly, if he is a good fellow and wil- ling to take such salary a8 we can aflord to pay him. But if that arrangement won't do we will be obliged to find our ownGovernors; lots of which ean be gotten in Canada'just as loyal to England's Crown and Septre and aa sincerely devoted 10 the best interests of the Empire as any one that can 'be sent from England or any where else. Men whose loyalty does not depend upon the price that is paid forit. Men who love the empire and her institutions for ths sake of the glorious privileges these institutions secure lo all. ------ SPEAKING REPEAL. Attorney- Gen. Wilkins closed the debate ou the Repeal Resolutions before the Nova Scotian Honse of Assembly on Friday last. On Thureday afternoon he commenced his address, spoke fully one hour, and left off Lill the following day, when he again oc- cupied the floor over an hour. The speak- er left no room for doubt, as to his meaning ; he said Nova Scotia would demand as pre- leminaries to conciliation, firet, that the construction of the Senate be made similar to that of the United States--second, that a provision be granted, giving Nova Scotia liberty to withdraw from the union if her legislature desire it. The speaker was most withering in his remarks upon the Confed- eration, he was bitter in the extreme. He the short- | hd said he would tell Canada and England too that unless the liberties of Nova Scotia were returned to her, and her grievances redressed before next session of the assem- bly that they weuld take the matter into their own hands and redress their own grievances ; and if they cannot do it alones they will apply for help elsewhere, Ho threatens if constitutional means fail to so- complish repeal, Nova Scotia will have recourse to other means. The Allorney- Gen. having finished his address called for question on the resolutions. All voted yea except on Blanchard and a man called Plueo who wished 10 vote pay, but their courage failed them, for when it was asked to divide and take the names Blanchard and | and his man both ron out doors ; when the vole was declared unanimous in favor of the resolutions, How much better would it have been for all concerned if the confed- eration managers had seen fit to hastouys little 'mote slowly; they have not gained much by stealing a march upon the people. they The chanees are, if appearances go for any- thing, that this same question will yet come before the people for ratification or modifica- tion, or it may be for {nullification in order pe : foundation upon which to ereet B88igF 'ing faprip where rue loyalty nation will not be tampered with, and tied band and foot with red tape from the oiroum- lution doe faces who may chance to be decked with a little brief authority. LETTING OFF THE STREAM, The German authorities are beginning to 'be solicifous of the fature of their county ; the continual living stream of {emigration which has set forth from that land is begin- ning to let itself be felt in high quarters. -- The Austrian Prime Minister seems com- pletely bewildered with the magnitude of the exodus ; but in place of slopping to en- quire why it is that so large a proportion of the population so willingly expatriate them- selves--leave the land of their birth, their country, their all, to seek;a home in a distant land, he pettishly declares that something must be done 10 stop this depopulation of the country. We wonder if this is the first lime that this idea ever presented itself to the premier, or wheilter he evé? thought of a remedy. Did he ever consider that by making people comfortable at home, they would be glad 10 stay there. Why not make their own country so, that there is nothing to be gained by moving 10 the land of the stranger. If he has never thought on this let him try it now, and he will find it work like a charm. But to talk stopping | the flood of emigration, as he applies the term "slop," is rather late in the day. The days of serfdom are at an end, people will 80 now wherever they are likely to be best oft; and who dares hinder them. Let them come along, we have lots of room for them all, with certain prospects of plenty to do and abundance to eat and sufficient to wear, with the full enjoyment of a sel of civil snd religious institutions, excelled by no othet land. If the Kuropean potentates would retain their brave and hardy sons, let them rub up their musty old laws, sweep the tub- bish from their one sided institutions, and secure to the hardworking sons of toil a fair remuneration for the woik of their hands, and provide for the children of the poor an equal chance in the race of life, as far as edvcalion 18 concerned, with the sons of the rich, then will the tide of emmigration be reduced to its lowest ebb. eS A decided improvement on the old hap- hazard system of Emigration seems to be inaugurated in Dublin. The matter sees no longer to be entrusted in the hands of any woman or child who pleases to take it up. A regular organization of intelligem, responsible individuals 1s being set on foot. Reliable sonrces of information are to be opened up throughout the D in re- lation to the localities where emigrants are most wanted and where they are most likely to succeed best, whether as farmers, me- chanics or laborers; where the forme might most advantageously locate, and Where the latter might find speedy and per manent employment. The next consideration and perhaps the most important of the society, is how are the emigrants to get to their new homes 7-- It 18 proposed 10 raise a fund and plage it in the hands of the officers of this emigration society, sc that when parties wish to emi- grate to Canada and have not the funds to take them there, by making application to the society and giviog proof of good moral character, then the society will furnish funds sufficient 10 take the parties out and and give them a start, on condition that the emigrant and hus friends at home give their joint note for the amount, payable one or two years after date, or in other words, as soon as the emigrant can pay it. This 18 a good 1dea and cannot fail of suc- cess. The lending of the money divesis it of its pauper element, and gives the emi- grant a standing and responsibility which cannot fail to act like a charm upon the fu- ture career ofa large majority of the poorer class of emigrants. BET RIGHT, Attorney-Gerr. Wilkins has just been put through his facings by Lieutenant-Governor Doyle, who asks the Attorney- Gen. whether the disloyal sentiments attributed to him by the Nova Scotian Press were really uttered by him? The Attorney-Gen. in 1eply de- clares himself incapable of entertaining ex- pressions of disloyalty, and declares himee:[ responsible only for the language contained in the official report, which, when publish- ed, he believes will disabuse the public mind of all idea of his disloyaliy. He says that he only opposes Confederation because he is aware that its evident tandancy is to- wards annexation, which, of all things he dreads such an issue. But he (Atty-Gen) would prefer the political system of any other eivilized country under the sun to the political system of the Dominion of Canada. ---------- ELECTION MATTERS. Election meetings'and public addresses on the " situation," are now the order of the day in England. The Atlantio Cable in- forms us that a public meeting was held at Manchester, on Saturday evening last, on purpose to hear Mr. Murphy, one of the six candidates now in the field, for the re- Presentation of the city of Manchester in the next British Parhament. There were over 6,000 people present, most of whom were Murphy's (friends, snd everything went on most comfortably, till all on a sud- den a band of Roman Caibolic Irishmen broke through the meeting, mounted the hustings snd cleared off everything chair and chairman, speakers and all. Here a free fight ensued, and a promiseuous pell mell, which lasted over an hour, when the police finally succeeded in arresting hostili- ties. No doubt Sundry heads were laid opea in the operation. Skirmishing parties kept up the fight all Saturday night, and the greater part of Sunday. Several arrests have been made. Clube and stones were the chiel weapons made use of. There is no report of any deaths, but there must have been some ugly gashes. Napoleon js fast filling up a bitter cup, whose very dregs Le will ere long have to Very full reports of this important trial are furnished by the reporters of the various swallow. France is beginning to k from her dream of false security, the spell is being broken, and the people begin to ask themselves whither are they drifting, if France is goed for nothing but a wasteful military camp ? with half the nation deck- ed in the trappings of the soldier, aod living off the other balf, who musi go in rags 1o support those who play soldier. In Proportion as the nation begins to arouse from its slumber, Napoleon becomes more desperate. The editor of the Lanterne has been obliged to seck rafety in flight from the tyrants grasp. The editor of the Fla. garo has gotthe hint to fall into hne, shut his eyes and join the hireling band, or taste the sweets of prison disoiplive. This game is nearly played out however, the sleepers are awakening too rapidly, and no matter how dgsperate the effort, the spell can't be renewed, and that bitter oup which the poor of La belle France has been made to drink so deeply and so long will yet be turned to the tyrant's mouth, and he will swallow the very dregs. What means this awakening of the press ? Why this sum- miary breaking up of all meetings, unless the majority are the Emperors tools 7 Why this general shout for peace, and retrench ment even while the Emperor 1s reviewing his army ? Time will tell why. ---------------- THE DARK ELEMENT, The Dark Element in the population of the United States, gathers darkness as time rolls on. A deepatch from Louavillo' states that a German, his wife and two children were all found dead in their dwelling, at Randolph near Louisville on Thursday last, having, it is supposed, been robbed and murdered by Negroes. A Negro had committed a hd¥rible ont- rage on a young girl, in Louisville, Arkan- eas, last week. The populace learning the facts, at once hung the monster. The other negroes of the village,about fifty in nomber, mustered at night and made a general at- tack upon the village. The villagers turn- ed out to defend themselves, a dreadful fight ensued, in which seven negroes, and five whites were killed. ---------------- TO CORRESPONDENTS. "R. L."

Before they can aot an i s they must first qualify in the same manner as magistrates appointed by the crown. Util having dove so, they cannot legally perform any of the functions of the magisterial oflice. -------------- NEW LAW FIRM, We would direct he attention of our readers to the card of Spencer & Ebbels, Barristers, &c., which will be found in this day'sissve. This firm comes amongst us highly recommended and is established at Port Perry. Hitherto there has only been one law firm established, in that rapidly advancing village. . While all are ready to admit that the firm of Cochrane & Cochrane is prompt, eflicient, and honorable in al) their transactions, yet there are always two sides 10 every legal question, and conee- quently there is a good opening for a second law firm, TEL EGRAPHS, The British Government has made a' sweeping purchase of all the telegraph lines in the kingdom, this will create a large host of government offices and give the rulling party a stronger influence on the public than ever possessed before, at least in modern times. - The telegraphic system may be more complete, and may be render ad more generally useful than hitherto. A DILEMMA. In days gone by the slave question was justly regarded as a dilemma of more than ordinary difficulty by the United States, and in fact that nation is at this day very far {rom being clear of it, either horn may yet prove disastrous to the nation's peace if not ite life. Another question of almost equal gravity forces itself on the consideration of that people, this is the omnipresent thiev ish, treacherous Indian, who never fails to take advantage when odds are on his side. From the rapacity of these marauders, neither age nor sex is any protection. To pacify these savages seems impossible, and to subdue means to exterminate. Let the consequences be as they may however, matlers cannot rest as they now are, further lemity would be the greatest cruelty to the seltler ; their depredations are of daily ec- currence Kansas Civ, Mo., Seplember 4.--A scout came nia Hays City Inst evening fom Fort Dodge.

After packing the house, cooping up the press, and seating the bar all waited patiently for the bench to arrive.

PRIZE-SHOOTING, The first Annual Prize Meeting of the Ontario Rifle Association, was a complete success ; as well as oreating a most desir- able fraternal feeling among the officers and men of the various companies,it went pretty far to show that there is more Rifle in this association than the name, that a very large jurors were next attended to and chall g went on at a brisk rate by both prosecution and defence.

RAPIDITY AND Accuracy Comsinep.-- Pt. home that night, whom he saw with him and of his heating a pistol shot fired aboot the time that Mr. MoGee would be near his boarding house door. The second witness was a lad 16 years of age named Trotter. He waid he did not know/the nature of an oath, did not know what became of parties who told lies, did not know that he was liable to punished if he told a lie. The nature of an oath was explained to him and he was then sworn. He testified to the coming home and hear- ing a pistol shot fired, and in coming near his mother's door saw something dark lying on the side walk, was afraid to go up and went into the 7%imes Office and told them that be believed there was some one shot lying at his mother's door-- parties from the office went with him and found it was the body of D. Arcy McGee lying on his back in a lot of blood. ; The mother of the preceeding witness-- the woman with whom Mr. McGee board- ed--was next sworn. She testified to hav- ing her door a little way open expecting her son or some one of her boarders to enter when she saw the flash, smelled the powder looked out and saw a man leaning against the side of the door, she returned into the house, made an alarm, took a light went out with the boarders, and found that it was the dody of Mr. McGee, quite dead. There were six more witnesses sworn, but their evidence did not beat on the mur- derin any way. The famous Lacroix was then put into the box. His testimony and conductall through would force the conclu- sion upon one that the fellow had trumped up the whole story on purpose to obtain the reward, were it not that he asserts that bis evidence 1s all correct and that he does no! expect any reward. Most hkely he would not accept of the reward it it were offered him. Itis well that it is 80, for his chance of obtaining 1t is somewhat slim. He makes a few rather awkward mistakes in his evi- dence. He was only a lew yards dietant, saw the man shot down, walked away lize a hero, said nothing to any one, and remain- ed sient for a couple of days up till the day on which the reward was offured. Swears that the murdered man had on a black hat, while he wore a white one--that Mr. McGee was running when he fell, which the land- lady swears was not the fact-- that when hd fell his head was towards the door, which unfortunately was adother blunder, as his head was turned from the door--that he never saw the door open, which was proven tobe open. The man evidently knows nothing of the maiter further than what he heard around. He evidently never saw the shot fired, bot he must think he did or he would #urely not swear to it. It is an axiom in logic that that which proves loo much proves sotbisg, but in life and death evidence the axiom fails; for when a witness ven 100 much the balance is placed to his credit, and be not unfrequently comes out ngher in crime than principal, and is rewarded accordingly with free board and lodging at one of the Queen's boardinghouses. The chief. witnesses examined in theWhe- lan tonal, on Tuesday, were Jordan, a policeman, his aim was lo strengthen La- croix's evidence. Tho next was Patrik Buckley, his evidence tended much more to exculpate than lo criminate the prisoner Roy the next witness testified to seeing the pistol in Whelan's possession. Starr & messenger of the house, was next put into at Pawnce Fork on the old Sanata Fe route, 37 miles i fom fort Du by a large party of Am 00 an enne In- an The killed 16 Mexicane, scalping them and buraing their bodies with tbe wagone. ~ Another train, a few miles be- yond, was successfully resisting the efforts of the Indians to eapiute them. Another train, loaded with 75,000 pounds of wool was attacked at Cameron Crossing, 25 miles from Fort Dodge, on the same road, The men fought until their ammunition gave out and then abandoned the irain, saving what stock they could. er ------ eee.

On the 3rd instant, they took it into their heads 10 have a row, and having no other apologyfto offer they hit upon the pretext of naming it a potato not, and no fewer than 3000 people turned out to take part in it. The Military were called out, but it was only when they ohar- ged the rioters with fixed bayonets that they succeeded in restoring peace, Barber, Prince Albert, carried off everything in this match, making 24 points ont of 9 shots in a minute.

The authorities got wind of the affair in suf- ficient time to prevent its taking place. On the 1st the authorities went to My. Guilbault, requested him to return the money paid for the use of the Gardens on the 2ad, and re- quested him--doubtless recompensing him for it--to keep his gariens shut upon that day; and in order to be prepared for any difficulty that might arise, a troop of the 13th Hussars were kept in readiness-- fifty infaniry were kept on the alert, and a very borhood of the Garden from 8 a. m. till a late hour at night.
