The Virginia State Election.

The election for Governor of the Old Do
minon, which will take place on the 10Th OF
Nav, is beginning to attract attention all
over the country If the opposition sue
coed in that State it will be the signal OF
reorganization for similar parties in the
Middle States, and it will be the greatest
blow to the Black Republican faction in the
free States that it has yet received. The
idea put forth by some ignorant Journalists
that # the virg inia opposition should prove
successful it will affiliate with Black Repub-
lcansm in the North, is very preposterous
and absurd 1t is perfectly independent
movement, and if it succeed i'll Virginia, 1t
will tell in other States.-.N L. HerdU.

To Mr.. Vim. BaYme.-Dear sir: In re-
ply TO Your letter to the editor OF the South
arn Churchman in the Gazette of yesterday,
the editor of that paper would first give the
connection in which his remarks occur ~
quoted by YOU. In the Churchman OF the
llth instant, il is stated:
But whilo we are much opposed to Baptist
rievs, we are not opposed To- Baptist men. Either
the peculiartcs of Baptists are anti Christian or
the views Of other Professionals are. Both cannot
be right. If one be wrong. then the views OF that
one are opposed to Christ just 80 far rs they are
wrong. Two or three millions of Baptists, believe
the pecuiarities Of nearly three hundred millions
of protesting Christians 10 tie opposed to the teach
ings of Christ. Nearly three hundred millions OF
Christians believe the pecuiaritics of two or three
millions of Baptists opposed TO Christ. We side
with the majority. One the other must he
wrong We believe Baptists are wrong; that their
pecularities anti Christian and the tendencies
Of their pecuari,ics are evil But we have the
kindest feelings to Baptists themselves.
You ask the editor if he is willing to open
his columns to discussion of the charges
which have been made against the peculiar-
ties of Baptists 1t would afford the editor
pleasure were it not for one difficulty; the
Churchman is read only by Episcopalians.
The Baptists do not pratronize 1t, and hence
would not see the discussion; and thus
all the arguments be thrown away, so far
AS they are concerned. But if you will con-
duet the discussion in Baptist paper. where
BaptiS,s would be able to read it, we think
We can give You the name of gentleman
who will be happy to argue with you all the
matters involved If this proposition be
accepted. the editor of the Southern Church
man would suggest IA the first topic TO be
discussed, either IF the following PROPOSE
tions. Both will be found in book called
"EriiS Of Infant Baphsm," written by DIR.
Howell, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church,
Richmond, and published by the Southern
Baptist Publication Soriety; of course there
fore with the approrai of Baptist Churches.
DR.. Howell SAYS, p. 209, Infant Baptism
thus turns the professed ministers of Christ,
into yeieiS against Him." Or the following,
p. l'3. The evil thus Ii. e. 10y the baptism
of lniantSJ brought upon all the interests of
truth and salvation is incalculable. Religion
itself is degruled and caricatured. The
minds of its votaries are bes0tted with mise
rable losomachy such as that we have Just
examined. Fanaticism and bigotry reign
triumphantly" These are the grave char.
ges brought against nearly three hundred
millions Of the profesSed followers of Christ,
not by a newspaper, but by the authorities
of the Baptist Churches.
Shall they he discussed in paper where
the Baptists shall be able to Judge for them
selves?
