Executive Committee*.Young; Men** Cbritttiun *m*mk*Ih-tloiiM ot Ontario, U«e-bee and Maritime Province*.D*ab BaaTHiaa,\u2014In accordance with the nnanimoos deaire expreseed at a metting of Canadian delegatee, held In Toronto, July, 1876, and resolution passed at the London Contention in October last, we beg to Intimate that the Tenth Annual Contention will (D.V.) be held in the city of Quebec, on the 13tb, !4tb, 16th, and 16th days ot ttep-tember next.We are looking forward to this Contention with great anticipations, combining as It does the united attendance of représentât!tes from the entire Dominion, and hope that etery Association «ill endeavour to send a delegation composed ot their tery best men, and pray in private and at Association meetings for God\u2019s blessing upon this gathering.Oar work in all ita departments has been eminently blessed of God dcrleg the past year.We trust th's will be the best meeting of the kind ever held in Canada.The number ot delegates from each Association is not limited, and pastors of churches, professors and teachers in colleges and schools, and young men interested in Christian work, who are not members of Associations, are cordially invited to attend.They will enjoy every privilege (save that of voting) which belongs to the regular delegates.After mnch prayer anl correspondence wHn the Associations, the following topica have been selected for discussion at the Convention, and will be opened by brief addresses or papers, by men of practical experience :\u2014 TOPICS.1.\tWhat is your Association doing for Young Men.?.\tRailroad Men.?.\tCommercial Travel len.t.Students and Professional Men.d.Young Men oat of Employment.2.\tThe necessity for an interchange of sym- patby atd experiences ef Associations throughout the Dominion.How can this be attained?3\tThe July and joyfolness of personal effort in pinning souls.How can it be done most effectual ly ?4\tHow to nse the Bible in oar work.5.\tYoung Men's Christian Associations.What is there work in Towns ?6.\tYoung men at home.How cm they nse their homes to benefit at rangers ?Associations are requested to appoint their delegates as soon as possible, and forward their names sot latsr than the 6th of September, to Mr.Tbos.8.Cole, Secretary, Quebec, in order that \u201chomes\u201d may be provided.TMs û important.And also to empower their re.presentalives to pledge such money to the executive as may be necessary to carry on their work.The usual travelling facilities will be extended by the railways and steamers.All particulars of which will be given in doe time, by circular from the Quebec Association.The Committees cannot orge too strongly the vital importance of sending to this Convention earnest and devout men, filled with the spirit of the Master, and sustalued by the prayers of the faithful workers who remain behind.Our work In the past has so developed, that the future demands wise planning and faithful execution.In coming together then let oar objects be - 1.\tA oneness with Him who is one with the Father.2.\tA more spiritnal and intelligent prepara- tion lor the future work.3.\tA willingness to make any sacrifice to bnild op the Kingdom of onr Lord in Canada, daring the coming year.We are, faithfully y oars, On behalf of ti.\u2019® Executive Committees, §3.B.ËRises, rh -.irman Ex.Com.Ontario and Quebec.J.B.Morrow, Chairman Ex.Com.Maritime Provinces.Thos.J.Wuju», Cor Sec.Ontario and Quebec.W.B.McNcjtt, Cor.bee.Maritime Provinces.July 23rd, 1877.preaching patience, respect for vested rights, strict observance of public faith.On the other band is a demagogue ranting about the tyranny of capitalists and usurers, and asking why anybody should be permitted to drink champagne and to ride tn a carriage while thousands of honest folks are in want of necessities.Which of the two candidates is likelr to be preferred by a workingman who hears his children cry for more bread ?I seriously apprehend that you will, in some such season of adversity as I have described, de things which will prevent prosperity from returning ; that you will act like people who should in a year of scarcity devour all the seed-corn, and thns make the next a year not of scarcity, bat of absolute famine.There will be, I fear, spoliation.The spoliation will Increase the distress.The distress will produce fresh spoliation.There it nothing to stop yon.Your constitution is all sail and no anchor.As I said before when society has entered on thb> downward pi ogress, either civilisation or liberty mnst perish.Either some Cmmr or Napoleon will seise the reins of government with a strong band, or your republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians in the twentieth century as the Roman Empire |in the fifth, with this difference, that the Hons and Vandals who ravaged the Roman Empire cams from withont, and that yonr Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your own country by yonr own institutions.If yon can derive any comfort as to the rature destinies of yonr country trom yonr conviction that a benevolent Creator will never suffer more human beings to be born that} can live in plenty, it is a comfort of which I should be sorry to deprive you.By the same process of reasoning oue may arrive at many very agreeable conclusions, such as that there is no cholera, no malaria, no yellow fever, no negro slavery In the world.The Fate of the 8.9.\u201cGeorge 8.Wright\u2019*\u201d Paftsengere.Saji Francisco, Cal., Jnly 22.\u2014A despatch from Portland, Oregon, gives the sworn statement of \"Billy Coma,\u201d an Indian, relative to the fate of the sarvivors of the blown ap steamer \"George 8.Wright.\u201d His testimony confirms the previous report of the mnrder, by Indians, of all who gained the shore.The murdered men were the captain and mate of the steamer, three soldiers and an officer, who Is described as a big, stout man, with black whiskers and dark complexion.United Stater Cable Company.A Notion from the Government at Washington.Wasbikotov, Jnly 23, 1877\u2014The Secretary of State, in pursuance of the consideration at the Cabinet meeting to-day, telegraphed to Minister Pierre pont as follows :\u2014 Give notice to the Direct United States Cable Company that the meditated arrangement, as understood by this government, whereby that company proposes to release its cable from the obligation of the fundamental clause of its organisation, prohibiting an amalgamation with or participation in the profits of other transatlantic telegraph companies, will be regarded by this government as just cause for terminating its assent to the laying and working of the Company's cable, and for severing its connection with this country.Choaclilng Motes.The Cheltenham and Malvern coach, which is this year in the hands of Mr.R.Chapman (better known as \"Bob\u201d Chapman), started for the season on Monday last.Lord Arthur Somerset tooled them the first stage, and Lord Castlereagh was also on the coach.They change at Tewkesbary and Upton, leave Cheltenham at ten and return from Malvern at half-past three.A Kingston correspondent sends ns the following \"Thu day, July 3, people here were surprised to see the Guildford coach, on its return journey to London, tooled into Kingston not by its owner, but by a lady who handled the ribbons well, The coach was nearly foil, and it was surprising to see so many potting their faith (and lives) in such frail, though fair, hands.\u201d Thers is very little fresh to record in the coaching world, though outside Hatchett\u2019s the other day we saw a well-known character in Jack Goodwin, who for ANCHOR LINE.UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMERS, Sail every Saturday from NEW YORK AND GLASGOW (via Londonderry), AND LONDON DIRECT, Rates of passage payable in U.8 Currency.NEW YORK TO GLASGOW.LIVERPOOL, BELFAST, OR LONDONDERRY.Cabins $65 to $80, aooerdlng to accommoda-dations.'

and now there is a despotism, a silent tribune, an enslaved press.Liberty is gone, bat civilisation has been saved.1 have not the smallest doubt tbat, if we had a purely Democratic Government here the effect would be the same.Either the poor wonld plunder the rich, and civilisation wonld perish, or order and pros parity would be saved by a strong military government, and liberty wonld perish.You may think that yonr country enjoys an ex emptioo from these evil j I will frankly own to yon that I sm of a very different opinion.Yonr fate I believe to bo certain, though it U deferred by a physical cause.As loog as yon have a boundless extent of fertile and unoccupied land, joar laboring population will be far more at «ose than the laboring population of the Old World, ant), while that la the case, the Jefferson politics may continue to exist withont caasing any fatal calamity.Bat the time will come when New England will be \u2022a thickly peopled as old England.Wages will be as low, and will fluctuate as much with yoo as with us.You will have your Manchester* and Birmioghsms, and tn those Manchester* and Btrmingbams hundreds of thousands of artisans will \u2022ssuredly he some times out of work.Then yonr institntiocs will be fairly brought to the test.Distress every wheft) makes the laborer mutinous snd discontented, and inclines nim to listen with folly np St.James\u2019 street, one hand grasping a stick the gift of one who, when be bsd an afternoon coach, horsed it ss well as any one on the road, and the other a book, which we set down as the Family Bible, bnt on closer inspection it turned oat to be \u201cPaterson\u2019s Roads,\u201d and we laid a mental wsger that the pros and cons of some new coaching venture were being then and there elaborated.May the cogitations of onr friend bear fruit.\u2014 Sporting GateUt, July 7.I he Canada Tanning Extract Co'y (LIMITED) IIV LIQUIDA.TIOIV.rnHE OFFICIAL LIQUIDATORS OF THIS J.Company ara now prepared to receive Tenders for the Purchase of the Property, consisting of TWO SETS OF WORKS, situate at Bulstrode and St.Leonard, near Three Rivers, Province of Quebec, capable of maun factoring 90 Tons of Hemlock Extract weekly, together with the STOCK-IN-TRADE, and 20,810 ACRES OF LAND.Farther particulars may be obtained from Mr.B.BbjlDLkt, St.Leonard, P.Q., on application to whom the works can also be Inspected.'QTENDERS to be addreased to the LIQUIDATORS of the COMPANY, 25, ABCHURCH LANE, LONDON, ENGLAND.Jane 26, 1877.\tAm-p TEMPERLEY LINE.London, Quebec and Montreal SootIlAWD.8000 Tons.Capt.James.Tamab.2288\t\"\t.\t\"\t- Thambs.1887\t*«\t.\t\u2022'\tCampbell.SnvBBir.1271\t««\t.\tSkinner.GAMMA.1900\t**\t.\t\u2022\u2022\tLnckhuret Sailing from London every alternate Wednesday.FROM QUEBEC t Rev KB v.Tuesday, Aug.7.Gamma.Saturday, Aug.25.Hates of ^Passage : Cabin.$50 to $60 Steerage.24 For freight or passage, apply to ROSS A CO.Agents.Jnly 28, 1877.Now Receiving, ex \u201cPersian,\u201d Direct from Sicily.JNGHAM COLLI WINE.Do.L.P.do.Dry Sherry Wine, of varions brands.Cases Claret Wine, St.Julien Medoc brands.Brandy, \u201c Henneiay,\u201d in Wood and Bottle Do.« Chtioupln,\u201d do.\tda Do.«Jalea Robin,\u201d do.\tdo.\u2014also\u2014 126 Boxes Benson Starch.For sale by JOS.LACHANCE.14, Sooe-ie-Fort Street, Lower i own.Jane 28, 1877.\tspl80-Lm-co ifJUU LINE IS COMPOSED OF THE following FIRST-CLASH, FULL POW «RED, OLYPÎC BUILT STEAMSHIPS, and Is intended to perform a regular service between Liverpool, Quebec and Montreal ONTARIO.\t8,200 Capt.F.B Boucbetts DOMINION.\u201e *,200 Capt.J.Roberts.MEMPHIS.2,500 Capt.H.Mellon, MIRSISBlPPr.2.200 Capt.O.J.LlndalL TEX AH.».ajfUSO Capt.A.Lanrenson.QUEBEC.2.80C\tCapt.\tJ.\tThearls.BORASSIA.2,150\tCapt.J.\tHoare.sr.LOUIS _____ 1.874\tCapt.\tReid.TEUTONIA.2,800 Sailing from Liverpool every Wednesday oalllng at Belfast for Freight and Passengers.The follawfhg Bteamer is intendsd to be despatched from Quebec :\u2014 M EX PHIS.Satnrday, Jnly 28.Ontario.a.Thursday, Aug.9.Dominion.Thursday, Aug.16.Mississippi.Thursday, Ang.23.These vessels have very enperioraccommodation for Cabin sod Steerage Passengers, and p'.t-puid Tickétt am tauoa at mduetdpriest t$ tho$edottrou» of bringing out ihtir fritndi.itatwa*of Passage* OabliJ.$50 to $80 Steerage.$4 Through Bills ot Lading for freight given to all parts of Cana la and the States.For further particulars, Ac., apply to FLINN, MAIN A MONTGOMERY, Liverpool, D.TORRANCE A CO., Montreal.Or, to WM.M.MACPHERdON, Commercial Chambers, * Quebec.July 20, 1877.ON FOR THE HOT WEATHER.STRAW, PAMMA and LE&HOBH VENTILATING HATS.New Styles of Felts.IN GRE T VARIETY, AT THE LOWEST PRICE\u201d».G.R.RENFREW & CO !
