In the first place the ticket fwr Governor and Lieutenant Governor were smaller than tho law demanded and had to bo printed over. The discovery was made bnrrly in time to correct the etror and distribute (die legal tick ets through the State. The carelessness and indifference evinced by the State Executive Committee in the c'ection this year gives rise to grave suspicion that their hearts were not very warm towards the success of the democratic ticket. We can't eeo why the County ticket at lea* , be print?} in the Counl'es where they Ar? voted. The Federal, Stale and County tickets are CA-); printed on separrtc slips, for the separata boaes, a^d while ii may he more convenient to have the Federal and Slate tickets printed at the Capital, under the supervision (?) of the State Executive Committee, the County tickets could be printed just as well, just as cheap, nod with as much accuracy, under the supervision of tho respective County Committees. The State Commi'tec, or perhaps the Chairman, came very near causing about one-half the votes at the p-iniary election to be thrown out, by deciding just on the eve of the election that only a certain form of ticket should be uaat and counted.

NEW YORK COES 45,000 MA' JORITY. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PROVES TO BE THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. MORE CURRENCY INSURED. . While ilie rttarns from Inst Tuesday's election are n< i complete from nil the Stales, tliere is no douht that C eveland and Ste*i lis m hare been ejected by a m jorily in tlie electoral college, ranging all the w?y from 15 to 75. As the fight cf the Third parly was concentrated npainst the Democratic party,under the Dianagi ment and command of Republican party leaders, we may safely predict that Thirdpaityism, in the form it was presented in this year's campaign, nt least, has beeu completely "snowed under" by the people. Evan T<>m Wa'son, the very omt>o?limrnt of Thi< dp irtyisin, the ablest, the bitterest and raoM uncompromising of the lerders of that pariy, in Congress, has been defeated befo c the people by a staunch and pure democrat, upon the straight and we'l defined p'rtform of the democratic party. We, however, do not hesitate to say that the democratic party will be on tiial, and its nets closely scrutinised by all clnsses of p?ople nrd all parties, during its four yrara t<rm, and if it dors not give some prastical indications of an earnest desire le adopt euch reform miasurcs as ere necessaiy for the re'ief of the people, it wi<l disappoint a'l parties and forfeit the confidence of its staunchest friends. But wonders and miracles must not be expected in the short space of four years. I It requires time for the goo I effects of all legislative rcljef measures to be felt by individuals iu Upeir homes, upon their farms and ic other rccupalions of life. We feel confident .'hat the result of last Tuesday's election will put new life and hope into everj'body and every business.

The following is what he made with one horse: 325 bushels of corn. 3,500 bundles of fodder. 160 bushels of oa'e. r CO bushels of pets. 73 gallons of raolas'es. 75 bushe's of sweet poiaioes. lj bales of cotton. Watermelons, voge'ab'es, etc., in great nnuoUAQCft. Mr. Wilbiirq's land is no better than ths ar$raga, f^nd ||e ueps very little fertilisers. His receipt for good crops is pienty of elbow grease and brains mixed in the right proportions. Yours truly, L. J. Rpowxixo, P, H.

I sm a member of the Alliance, n and believe in its principles; and I am a te renter. 1 rent a one-horse farm, and have ft been paying three biles of cotton rent. I ii hard two neighbore who rent from the same mm one-h?r?e fnr.r o and pay three bales ii each. 1 hrre is about 600 aorea in tbe b whole tract that the three farms ars on. I si am raiisfifd It would net bring over $') en o acre, or $3,000. Now the interest on thai n amount, at 8 per cent., (which the owner of b the land says ia outrageous'/ high for a e baok to charge for money) is $240, but let's a *aa wlint wa nav him fur lh( uaa of ? Lis l?nd: Nino bales of oettea, at $35 a ti bale, is $315, or 10} per oont. on $3,000. I You may ray I have put the price of the'' g cotton too Irgb, but if I Lavs I put the prioe ? of the land ahd the interest too high, to t! square it. o Now, Mr. Editor, the mon we rent from is one of the prominent AU<nuo?msn of tho t County, and 1 have hrard hiin abuse the ? banks and the merchants for oppressing his h 'poor btothcr farmers," by chnrging them n oxorhiiont prices f>r go<ds and ruinous H prices for money. I have heard him say that 4 per cent was as lrgh as the law ought to allow a bank or any one else to charge f?r money, snd tha' merchants ?ould afford to sell goods at 10 per oent above what he C tils cost and carriage, which 1 suppose means to pay cb-rk hire, rent, taxes, insurance, saying nothing about any losses out of the 10 per cent. 1 have had some sad expetience in keeping store roysslf, and speak from the book, when I tell you that it can't be done. Now, Mr. Editor, how does this practice of this poor Farmers' friend agree with bis preaching? ls'n t it tho old ttory of the other man's ox that gored? In the same papor you say the Allianoe is declining, and c til upon the leaders to take it out of politics and restore tho Order to its social, educational and business work. Lot me tell you, it is not politics that's driving the poor Formers out of the Order half as much as tho high price land owners, w'.b preach Adiance priuoiples in the Lodge, bnt show no quarters to their poor brother members, in renting them land or hiring their labor. Wp spc they are not sinoere in their prrfessions, and begin te th)qk that tho Order is getting to be an organisation of plutocratio land owners and office seekers.

Lattero II o 9 I believe I but the honest farmers have al lnrt perceived that not every man with a while skin who prtttndt to till tbp soil Is a At subject for the A'liance, and the Alliance of our County has inadvertantly admitted to its fold some speolmens of humanity who are not only a dlsgraoe to the Agricultural class of our people, but are unwerthy of the namo of a man, in its true sense. The Lntin language haa two words to express adult male human beings ?'. t. Vir. a man was one who either possessed or sought after all the qualifications of true greatness, of which valor veracity and virtue were but attributes of his nature. Tho other, Homo, a mat), w'seqly the name ^o distinguish hiin fram the brute oreo'ion, and was applied to those who d>d not possess the quaMflcatlonsof true manhood. And, alas! this Homa\ pluralised to hominet, has crept into and contaminated every organization of Church and Sta'e, fnm the golden days of Roman greatness to the present time. And I beg of you. yc honest tillers of the soil, who would "give honest bread to the honest eater, and seed to the sower," to app'y the test to overy one who seeks to be a brother, and ree whether he be Homo or 17s.

I ope thai 1 shall not "try your | etienoe too tuch by being little leDgthy, since I oar* ot abbreviate in fewer words a reply to so eighty en argument as adduoed by my rirnd. Let" us note a few things conseou* ivrly in his Inst letter. 1. My friend has objeoted to my preach* ig what 1 conceive to be the truth, simply oo*i>so it does no< accord with his underlanding of the matter. I have a very poor pinion of any minister who hasn't enough loral s rengtit to preaoh against error as -Jf) rell as advoeate the truth. When I seo an rror I shell always endeavor to point It out nd attempt to aet the parties right. If hey do not chooso to be righted, then I have one my duty end have a clear. een?flienjgftr^. may not always ba right njyself;-but I trive to be; and hence, whenever I am in rror it is a fault of the mind and trot of he heart, and I am always grateful to any no to set me right. * 2. A fsw ?ror?Sa &iot? about Paul's bapism. In my lest letter I (bought I gavo ufficient proof to remove oil doubt as to iow Paul wns baptised; but it eeeros that i a i:i i^ i i.._ * ij IIICU'I BUUitt line iv use i:m? ITOOJ bout it. I sin sorry that in "bin seal" tq efuio my argument bo failed to give ail iJi* acts in the case. Ho soeai? to doubt tli? mportnnce "f the word anaelae, found la he oiigina', (Acts 22: 10),'which implies tot only to 'a-ise," but m lion after rising, .nd thinking perhaps that Acts 0 : 18 would lirow weight on his side, he quoted: "And mmeiliately there fo 1 from his eyes as U tail becu scales : end U? received sght ' rthwith, an 1 aroet and was baptised." If my friend will get his Qrcok Testanent and examine this text, he will fiad the rery saint woVd here that we discussed in ho other text, meaning motion from or . ?? taping a place etc. 1 do not see anything n this translation "at variance With the vritteu word." In order to remove ell loubts, let us quote a few passages of Paul*! vriting: "Thorofgrc, we nro buried with rlim (Christ) by baptism in'o death, that iko as Christ wss raised up from the dead >r the glory of tho Father , aveu ro we also ihould walk in nearness of life," ete., Rom: 1:4: "Else what sha'l they do, which are >aptized for the dead; if the deal rise not it all why are they then baptized for the lead t" I Cor. "10 : 29; "For as many of pou as h%ve beeq baptised into Christ h%ve >Ut on Chfisi," Uol 3 ; 27 ; "Buried with iiirn in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Illm through the faith of the operation >f Qod. who hath ra:sed Him from Ilia lead." Col. 2:12: "On* faith, on* Lord, >ne baptism " Eph. 4 : 5. Dots this not in (self explain how Paul was baptised, and shat he regarded as baptism f If it does lot meau that he was immersed and that h* preached immersion a* baptism, please en-; * plain to me these passage*. The othor passages quoted by my friend lu not need any oommeat, since with unratnmeled thinking the meaning is obvious, tnd I haye net speoe to note eaoh passage loparato'jr, 8. I agree with my friend that wo should et the bible explain itself; but in order to . mderstaqd the true translation of the bible *o must not be satisfied with the King Fame's version alone, but go to the original 3reek Testament and with the help of lexi5ons get tho true meaning of the text. 4. In reference to infant baptism to which Friend "Joe" alluded in his last letter, I lave but a few words to say at present. [11 It is unscr.plural and 1 believe wrong. [2) Baptism should be adm n siertd fp thqsq >ulv who have exercised saving faith in Sol. This I claim Infants can not do. 6. Friend "Joe" wants to knew if the osptiam of water, the Holy Ghost and fire, ipoken of in Ma't. 8 : 11, menus iinmeraim. [ imphatioally answer yet. "I indeed bap is* you with w>t?r unto repeutanoe; but lie that cotnctli after m* is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to haar^. Ha shall baptise you with the Holy OhMdMUiil^fli with fire." You must benr in mind that ou? King * James' version or tne bible is the Bmsoo-1 f paliun translation. Get" your Grchk TeeUi.. tnent end let us examine the original au<l see if it is in or with water, eto., that should be used, The original say*; 'l ind<?d biptige you in water {en hudati) uuto repent* tnoe. He shall baptise yeu m the Holy Ghost (en puenmati) and in fire (en puri). iu this rame chapter, Gth verse, we htve the very same preposition translated in tho King James' version, "in JordanWhy not say baptised "with Jordan." To be baptised of the Holy Ghost then means tha' the souls of believers must be immersed in the Holy Ghost; so that it would entirely penetrate their being and rorni within them a prinoiple of life. Head Acts 1:6. 5 N ' 6." Friend ' Joe" cills the 0 lobrated Pedebaptists scholars who do not agree with hint ** to the meaning of "baptao," schismatiq.il tutmorsionists." 1 did qqt If now that Churles Anthon. George Caruppll, Thomas Chalmers, Moses Stewart, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Adam Clarke, John Wesley, the founder of his own oh it rob, wero schismatic* I That is news to me I 7- He closes by saying* ''The primitive mode of baptism is not necessarily the bible mode." In that assertion he virtually ftdmits that the primitive mode was by immersion. Now, 1st me ask my friend a question. If primitive baptism is not bible baptism, what is bible baptism? In matters of law wo must use words in their primary or historical sense. No ircndsry or figurative sense can be applied is long as the historieal tense can bs app'ied. This is a fundamental ru'e to be seed iu the interpretation of all vfritiua*, both eacred and profane. Unless wdrds ard used in (hep: primary sense they will fail of their design. This being troe, immcr.iiqa is inevitably the aot of Christian baptism ; for beyond doubt the word I'Lapi^o" in thq historical sense ine.ns to '-dip" and the like. Therefore, sinoo there is but one bei tism, all other forms of baptism are uaicriptural. Now in coueiuvinn lei me ask a few questions, and if my friend answers them satieraet >rily end e"lri?vis in iri that fee is C 7rect and inr <tber th>nlimmersion is the mt.ie or pi.iiqiiifq mc>4? baptism, qs U*^| by the Apostha, 1 shall bs converted to his raith. 1.
