For the first time in the history of par

satisfaction Of announcing the utter and
complete route Of the Democracy, in st.

The Shortcomings Of the Pulpit.

Mrs. Stowe says in the independent Of
Thursday: "lhe gospel has not died out
of Americ.-it is only like strawberry
bed, where the life has gone out of old
plants into young runners. The gospel of
Christ is cxpounded at this day more tru
ly in many Of the political speeches of the
Republican party than in some pulpts and
some so called religious papers. That in
visible but mighty force which we call the
spirit Of the age is burning like an oven
against all the devices of injustice and cru

Mr.. Acker aud the ANTHRAX Amend
ment.
The Pioneer Of yesterday endeavors to
make point against Mr.. AcKEa, that,
though the Convention which nominated
him urged the people by resolution to vote
for the amendment to the Constitution re-
quiring any tax law paying principal or
interest on the Bonds, to be first submit
ted to the people for their sanction before
being valid; yet that Mr.. AcKER when, in
the Legislature last winter, was violent
fopponent of the submission Of this Amend
ment to the people. The Pioneer says
GAS member of the House, Mr. Acker
| voted against its submission to the people,
isee Ho1se JsurnaD, and we understand
I is now opposed to its adoption as part OF
the Constitution. In other words, he is in
flavor Of the Legislature reserving to itself
the power of taxation, to pay the State
Railroad Bond"
The Pioneer further says that Mr.. AcK
Err now repudiates the Platform of the
Convention, and it desires the MINSEsoTIAs
to give il light.
A very lew words will settle our neigh
boris hash on this head.
In the first place, it is not true that Mr.
AcEER repudiates the Platform he stands
firmly and unreservedly upon it. FL,

policy Of Mr. BANNING Of Death to thu
Bonds until the cars are ON the Roads,
and if elected will be found there all TIN
time.
In the next place, we deny that Mr.

| Anti Tax Amendment to the people; no
is it true that the Journals show any sucl
thing. Mr.. AcKER, if our recoleetio,

They have said, moreover, that the

influence their votes away from the man OF
