The end never justifies the means, and fortunately such means are very sel- dem successful. It not vufrequently hap- pens that the unfortunate candidate who, perhaps unguardedly, takes shelter under the wing of the slanderer, finds most as- suredly. that he has been leaning on a bro- ken reed, a most miserable defence, which will pierce him throngh with shame and remo a) hating stooped 80 Jow.-- What would sucli a: course result in if the rer were allowed to Rana i in his own peculiar cowardly Aas 6 reputation of any can- didate who_mi, ht not suit his faney,-or cater his' po e .

But however anxious we may be to keep'a candidate fronf gaining a seat--we have no tight to resort to the mean subterluge of have a stab at his reputation. There may not have been a great deal of this so far as the present contest has gone, but straws show how (he wind blows and certainly the straws have begun to fly. It would be bet- ter for all parties that the contest should be conducted in that upyight. honorable way that will leave no sting behind when the contest is over. But as members of the!' same municipality who have the best jn- erestsof the corporation at heart let each do his best to elect those men who, he be- hieves, will render the best setvice to the whole township without fear 'or favor. ide, A LASTING MONUMENT TO THE NOBLE LINCOLN. .

The last scene in the Tragedy of the late Progident's assassination is just opening-- the corlain just begins to rise, when Surrati, the last, if not the most guilty of the con- spirators, will be' placed upon thie stage.-- Then the last and final development of that dork, dark deed shail be given to an anxious world.

Mercy, sdysspara! : Bh hy We find by a Washington telegram that the notorious Surratt,one of the assassing of the late President, has been captured in Egypt, and is now on his way to Washing. ton. Early in the month of October of Jast year, Snrrat was foond by a Canadian, serv- |i ing in the Papal army as a Zouave, and the fact communicated to Washington, when immediate orders were given for his arrest. He was accordingly" arrested, but ercaped from his captors, and fled into Jtaly ; and there being no extradition treaty betwee he Italian end" American Governments, noth- mg could be done. Not seemingly aware of this fact, Surratt madly continned his flight nto Egypt, where an" extradition treaty did exist ; nnd here the bird was again entrapp~d. His chances of a second escape are by no means encouraging for him. ° He is now in safe keeping and will bz in America just as soon--after the'neces- sary formalities have been gone throngh-- as steam can bring him. «The way of the transgressor is hard.' ei MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC! We beg to call the attention of our read- ers to the grand musical entertainment to be given in the Public Hall, Prince Albert, on the evening of Tuesday next, 18th instant. This Concert is got up by the members of Leas than three yeats ago one seventh portion of the population of North America were in the most abject state of Slavery and oppression both of body and mind-- to statute, the electors in the various cor- porations shall meet together for the pur. pose of deciding who shall fill the vacant chairs aad occupy the seats around the Council Boards--when we shall be called upon to say who shall be Captain and first and second Mates of the Corporate ship for the coming year--who shall represent our interests at the County Council in the year to come : a position which, when pro. perly filled reflects no small honor upon its worthy occupant. It is not at all surpris- ing that as the time for the election of the various municipal councillors approaches the fire of ambition should burn more fiercely, and that the value of the gift at the disposal of the electors should be more highly appreciated as the time for its de- livery draws nigh. Among the aspirants for 'office in our cities, towns, villages, aye and Hamlets too, there seems to be a uni. versal girding on the armor, and prepar- ing for the contest with an ardor which threatens to cast into the shade all previ. ous contests of a similar nature, And whilehe combatants are thus preparing, their friends are by no means idle specta- tors of the scene. They too are bestir. ing themselves with as such earnestness as if they meant to enter the hts. Andjlike all othér contests of a like kind, we may expect to find candidates of all degrees of adaptation, from - the utterly incompetent to men 'of first elass abilities--and here comes the most difficult task the electors have fo perform--to reject even our best friend:if ¥ we consider him less capable than others who ' may present themselves, In 89 doing, besides discharging our duty to the ¢ommunity, we would be doing a kind- ness 'to our friend--however difficult it might be to convince him of the fact.-- 'Phere is 'one rather pleasing feature in sich gen s which, 'we think, cannot es: cape the observation of the most casual observer, we refer to the annual genial, Wind, ea plaisaine siniife of 'recognition which begins to glow on the countenances of many, of 'the aspirants: to office, and not of ikem alofe, but of those most zealous suppor who do the most of the whip- ping iny and the greuter part of the coax- ing.'

Above 4,000,000 human beings --black it is true, but still human beings, though dented every human right and privilege-- were owned by the haughty Southeruers and claimed by them as chattels. Thus the poor slave had no rights, got no justice, no mercy, being completely at the will of him who olsimed him as his property. His slaves were as much his property as his horses and'cattle were. But there was one feature of the system, 1f possible, still more horrible; we refer to the foreign supply--the imported chattels. Bands of heartless, cruel, unprincipled profligates chartered or bought vessels, suiled to the coasts of poor unfortunate Alrica, drew up their ships in some cove or bay convenient to some Alrican- village, and fiendishly landing in the darkness of night concealed themselves around rome wisps or hamlet, and when the unsuspecting negroes went out in the morning, whether male or "fe- mals, as it suited the purpose of these miscreants, they were seized, chained, carried to the ship, and thrown into the hold like brute beasts, regardless of the cries of infant children of aged and infirm parents, whose piteods wail would have softened anything in ereation except the hard hard heart of man. When ths means of se- curing victims fafled or was too slow to suit the slaver, the houses were fired and the poor awestricken fugities-- fleeing from the fiery element, seeking to avoid the] dread catastrophg?.of Westruction by fire-- fell into that which was kab the grasp of the human monsters, the deal- ers in "blood. 0 "dragged them to the pestilentia? hold "of the slave ship, while the tender youth and helpless age fell vic- tims to the flames.

Miss Frazer's music classes, assisted by n goodly number of Amateur performers from this and the neighboriug villages. Miss Frazor's oal and success as a teacher of music, together with her kind "and gentle manner, have not failed to secure the love and esteem, not only of all who have |, had the advantage of her instruction, but of all who have had the pleasure of her ne- quaintance. The proceeds: of this concert will be given to Miss Frazer as a small token of the estimation in which she is held by; our musical friends, We regret to state that the young lady is about to leave this locality ; and we only give expression to the sincere desire of all acquainted with her when we wish her all manner of suo~ cess. Since this is to be the parting con- cert, let it be a good one. Let us have a full house. The charge, (13 cents,) is bat trifling. It will be seen by the programme that quite a musical treat is in reserve for all who avail themselves of it. The pro- gramme contains a large number of excel. lent pieces, and the array of performers is highly respectable. HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. The action of oor Municipal Council in tendering a unanimous vote of thanks to the Reeve, Joshua Wright, E«q., for the cour- teous manner 'in which he has discharged the duties of Reeve during the past year-- will, we believe, be endorsed by every rate- payer in the Township ; and we woild go further and slate that tire thanks of the whole municipality are due to the retiring Council, as a body, for the very efficient manner in which they have' transacted the of the cory during the year now drawing to a close. . i ' a rti----t The discourse of the Rev. Mr. Forneri, on Sunday last was most appropriate--sug- |} gested, no doubt, by the death of the late Mr. Henry Bell. The text selected was in the 4th chap. of Paul's lst Epistle to the Thessalonians, from the 13th 10 the 18th teef[ instance aré sihilar fo'those' found against verse inc!nsive. The discourse, while it could not fail to be most comforting toni] be- lievers, must have.been particularly. 'come | forting to the bgreave, family.

T. De¢Geer, father of the late Butten DeGeer, whese melancholy end we noticed a few weeks ago. He states that his son (the decented) and his wife bad been in Toronto, and on the gray put np at Richmond Hill over 'night--where they had previously resided for about 8 years. While there they paid a visit to Dr. Langstaff, as be bad attended decers- ed during a period of four years' illness, and the deceased, being ill at the time, got a bottle of medicine from the Dr., and she [wife of deceased | knowing that she could wot procure poison fromthe Droggists, asked the Dr. for a litle to poison rats and mice. The Dr. gave ber a little strychnine, and alse sonia' Arseic. He says the chloroform was got from the Dr. too for the purpose of: making-up a : pre- scription for Neuralgia, and as for, the lavdanum he declared he [deceased] bought it all over, took it regularly, and 'could not do without it. The Reverend. | gentleman closes hus letter thus :-- I the " father of the deceased, if there was any " just cause to suspect foul play shown my " dear departed son, by his wife, vould be " the first to briog her to justice ; but from the perfect knowledge I have of her moral cature, and kind disposition, ITbelieve her to be incapable of knowingly doing wrong ; and will willingly cheed ber against all mali any court of justice to which I "may bo called." =~ ----tes The brick chureli in cousse of erection at Port Perry forovr Church of England friends was considerably damaged by the storm of Saturday last. It will cost at least $150 to repair the damage. A portion of the loss will, doubtless fall on the enterprising con. tractors, Harrison Maw and Son, Port Perry. Aud this is the more to be regretted as this firm contracts very closely, asking no, more than will barely pay them for doing a first rate job--and we have abundant proof in the many excellent buildings put up by this firm, that nothing but first class work is allowed to pass from their hands; and from all appearance this church, when fin- ished, will be no exception from the rule-- it bas every appearance of being a very neat, comfertable building.
