or by cutfiscation ; and une of ils strong reasons for this course is a conviction that no drop of Rebel blood could be coolly, deliberately shed williout essentially clouding the prospect of securing the Rights of Suffrage to the Blacks.Defying the madness of passion aad the blindness of short-sighted misconception, it has demanded Reconstruction on the basis of Universal Amnesty with Jmpartial Sulfrage, in perfect consciousness of the fact that it thereby alienated thousands who had been its zoulous supporters and life-lung patrons.Tho hour of its complete vindication cannot be far distant.As for the man who is to be the chosen standard-bearer of the Republicun Lost in the impuuding contest, while we avow our deliberate preference of Chief Justice Chase ns tho ablest and most

which aflirms and upholds the equal political us well aa civil rights of ull citizens of the Republic.We do not contemplate as possible the support by Republicans of any candidate who does not stand

but that which now marks this country is something fearful, Both parties are, or pretend to be, confident of a trinmphant \u201ceçess, and that, we should say, indientes aeloser balance of forces than has appeared for many years, We think it can hardly Le duubted that the Republican party has Tost a multitude of its adherents ; bat as they were in an immense majority, it will take a very considerable defection to neutral ize it.Their harshness to the subjugated Southern whites hus done the party very creat dan and tens of thousands of staunch anti-sluvery wen, who cheerfully tarde the greatest sacrifices during the war, Lave now their sympathies excite: by the unnecessary and, as we think, fmpolitic discriminations made in favor of the enfranchised negroes, and against their former masters.We confess to something of the sane kind of feeling, and entirely agree with this class of American eitizens in the opinien, that justice to the blacks did not domand the heartless treatment of the whites which the military commanders, in defiunce of lux and bumanity, have practiced, The war Over, the revolutionaries hopelessly crashed, impoverished and distressed, pre- seated a spectacle caleulated to exercise the magnanimity of the victors, had sucha sentiment existed ; hatin hen of generosity and au spirit of conciliation, it seemed as if the Noitherners had delighted to further tread, traunple down, and humiliate to the lowest decree thee nnfortunate brethren, This course cleonduct it is which has so dishonored he victory and created the revalsion now so apparent in publie opinion.But the De- mnerats, Who ave profited largely by the wiztaken policy, have themselves committed a not uiserable blunder, which, in turn, lias dost them some good frieuds and yre- Judiced their cause nota litde in the opinion af forcign nations.With the view apparent- Jo of seducing the more dishonest and ienorant among the masses who groan under Uhe heavy taxes consequent upon the caormons national debit, they adopted \u201can plank\u201d to the effect that those portions a! the debt not specificaliy and legally expressed us payable in gold, ought to he pshl in currency or greenbacks at par, which =imply means that the man who loaned the government in the time of its sorest nec) 31000, und took its bonds for that sum, must, when said bonds matare, accept $600 or 2650 for them, It may be thai this plank has hind the desired cffret, but if it has, the main has been honght at too laree a price, ns those who launched it will eveu- tually discover.But to come back to the contest, it may admost be said that nothing else is thought of, spoken of, or wriiteu about, and the way it is written about, us we discover from the leadiug journals which reach us, is truly shocking.If we were to accept us true what the two parties say of each ather, then the American nation is most outrageously profligate, and vile.\"ho dictionaries of slang and abuse seem to Lave been ransacked for terms expressing in the most emphatic manner the deepest depths of infamy and scoundreliem.The candidates are liars, dronkards, hypocrites, and everything else that is base and abomin- ab'e, and their uiders und abettors are equally degraded.Now what must be the moral effect of such a contest upon the national character ?The young Republican is indoctrinated into the Lelief that the De- wmacrats are unmitigated scoundrels, and vice versa the juvenile Democratsare tausclet to regard with ineffable loathing every man who rallies under the Republican banoer.Will these honorary distinetionsbe obliterated with the settlement of the dispute ?Will the neighbours of different political creeds forget their rancour, bitterness and rullianism when the result is ascertained 7?Not very probably.Indeed we fear that the successful party, asafter the war, will he anly the more rampant and tyrannical, and that there is in the future great injustice and hnmikiation for the weaker side.This Lunentable exhibition of national infirmity is not very greatly calculated to sednee Canadians into admiration for Republican institutions, and if we have our own political Lickerings and dissensions, we can manage, ut least, to keep up a show of pro- pricty, and as we hope, not n mere show cither, but a sense of it too.There is, however, a redeeming feature in American squubhles, and it is, that they can be most virulent and threatening without actual violence.The belligerents can befoul each other with the direst abuse ; they can swear the most appalling oaths, and generally accomplish a horrible deafening clatter, and yet refrain from blows; at feast this has been the case in former electoral contests, and we devoutly hope, that if they must scream and curse, they will forbear clawing and gouging.We heartily wish them, however, «better time than they appear likely tobave, and that the best man may \u2018be chôsen as their next President\u2014who il is, ii is not for ns to say.THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO CHINA.According to the statistics of an able letter in a London periodical, it is very clearly shewn that England's shortest route for her commercial traîfie with China, Jupon, the Sandwich Islands and eastern Asiatic coast is across the continent of America through British territory ; that is, by the Galf und river St.Lawrence to the head of Lake Superior, and thence by the Saskatchewan Vulley to Vancouver.It is shewn that this ronte would cut off nearly 5,000 miles of distance compared with that by Panama (Tstlus of Darien), and that, on a comparison of the distances, Lime required Lo traverse them, aml expense of trausports- tion, by encli of thie three several routes via Canada\u2014New York and the Pacific Rail- woy\u2014and Panama, the advautage was » semble THE QUEBEC GAZETTE, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1868.decidedly by that of Canndn, As tho question is u most important aud interesting one we give the following table of the route from Liverpoul to Canton :\u2014 Via Canada Distance, 12,150 miles ;

but as soon aa rye, barley, potatoes, £e., begin to come in, the demand suddenly ceases, and the price as suddenly falls.Oue or two parcels yf flour from new wheat have been offered, tut the fur mers are probably too busy to bring their wheat to any extent to market for some time.Atthie present prices in the west, wheat might Le brought from Milwankee and ground here il a profit of about 60 cents per Larrel.There i, therefore, reason to expect a fall, and that i= necessary also in order to duce shipments to Britain.TWO MONSTERS.Two men havetbeen before the police courts in London charged with throwing their wives out of the window.In one instance the resuit was not fatal, though the woman was shocking: ly injured.Some of the circumstances of the other case were peculiarly atrocious.Abont one o'clock on a Sunday morning the wife of a saddler named Neave was observed hanging by her hands from the window-sill of an upper storey.At length she fell; and two men who attempted to catch her were knocked down and much hurt.She was killed by the fall.A woman named Sharp informed the police that she saw the prisoner strike the hands of the deceased and force them open, so that she might tall, * MORE ALPINE FEATS.The Caucasian Alps have been the scene of a new climbing adventure by Englishmen.Three gentlemen have mule the ascent of the Kasbek Mountain, which rises to a height of 16,500 fect, considerably above the level of the highest of the Swiss range, and besides which the \u201c Monarch\u2019 of European mountains itself is dwarfed.On the second day they reached the extreme surminit, and it is said to be the first time that the ascent was ever attempted.Tue INFLUENCE OF THE MOON UPON THE Weartuer,.\u2014Professor Elias Loomis read à pas per upon the \u201cInfluence of the Moon upon the Weather,\u201d before the American Association for the Advencement of Science, at Chicago, and at ita close exInbited a table of results which he had deduced from seven years\u2019 observations.He drew the conclugion that the moon did affect the weather and maintained, in dirett opposition Ww professor Herschel, thatthe moon just before its fullintluenced thewcather toward cloudiness, and followed the same law as the sun, The company have about filty tons of S.8.Penvviss.\u2014The steamship Peruvian, Capt.Ballantine, trom this port on the 15th inst., arrived hae this morning, making the run in eight days and eighteen hours, Sarnisa or vue S,S.\u201c4 Negrowian'\u2014The Canadian mal steamstup Nestorian, Captain Dutton, suited for Liverpool at 10 aan.on Bat.urday, with 34 cabin, 45 stevrage passengers, unl 16 general cargo.2e Quiek Passace.\u2014The Allaus iron elipper ship Gleniffer, Captain Tannock, arrived at Glasgow this morning, making the ran home in 18 days and a half, She is the lirst vessel Lune on her second voyage.ee \u2014\u2014\u2014 Arnavar orrue S,S, Sr, Lawrence.\u201d The steamship St.Luwrence, Captain James, trom London, Aug.7, arrived in port at 11 am., on Saturday, with 17 cabin, 160 steerage passengers, ad a general cargo for Quebec and Montreal.At 4 p.m.the steamer procecded to Montreal.mme Ocean Sreamens,.\u2014The next mail steamer due at this port is the Jlibernian, Capt.Smith, The next Glasgow steamer to arrive is the Ottawa, Capt, Archer, via St.John, Newfoundland.The ss.Germany, Capt.Graham, from Liverpool, on the 18th instant, will be due about Friday next, \u2014 \u2014_.Dear or A NORWEGIAN oN THE QUEBEC Boar,\u2014On Thursday night, as the steamer Quebec arrived at Three Rivers about eleven o'clock, a male Norwegian emigrant died on The Coroner was notified, an inquest wits held, und a verdiet delivered in accordance with the circumstances, \u2014___ Annivat, Or THE S.S.Gasre.\u2014The Quebec and Gulf Ports Steamship Company's steamship Gaspé, Captain Connell, from Picton, &c., arrived in port at noon on Saturday, with 43 cabin, 37 steerage passengers, and a full freight.Captain C.reports IL, M, 8S.Doris in Gaspé Basin ;
