Vote as We Pray.

Many Christians feel the propriety of
carrying before God in social as we'll as
private prayer any special occasions of
temporal suffering. We are taught in
the Lords Prayer to ask even for the
daily bread. If threatened with drought
or plague or famine, the soul finds sup
port and secures divine succor in
prayer. Neither the logic nor the ridi-
Guile of science drives the sincere Chris
tan from the privilege of casting his
burden, whatever it may be, upon the
Lord, knowing that he careth for him.
Why should not our political anxieties
be brought into the same fatherly and
sympathizing presence? 1t matters not
if we are of different parties and bur-
dened with very different anxieties, it
is both wholesome and serviceable to
carry our desires unto the Lord. 1t
will purify our own vision; it will al
lay the heat of passion it will prepare
us calmly and hopefully to accept the
event that providentially occurs. God
is not confused by divergent voices of
prayer. Every sincere Christian and
patriot desires that Gods will shall be
done, and every one can prayerfully
leave the matter, after using his best
diligence, in divine hands, assured that
God can both rule and override. There
ford let us pray earnestly that the best
interests of the land and all its citizens,
and the glory of God, may be secured
in the coming election. We shall then
be much disposed to vote as we pray

DON'T PRAY AT PEoPLE.-Scolding
isn't praying, and it never does less
good than when it is foisted into a
prayer, and the scolded think you are
telling the Lord that about them which
Won do not dare to say to their faces.
Don't talk with the Lord as you would
chat with your neighbOr. True prayer
is reverent. Don't ramble all over the
universe; you'll not get back in time.
Don't try to get everything into one
prayer; you will most likely have an
other chance. Don't pray so long as to
tire out all the hearers that isn't the
meaning of the commands to "pray al
ways" and to "pray without ceasing :"
and you can safely leave some petitions
to be offered when alone in your closet.
Don't pray in public if you are prayer
less in secret; such prayer prevails
neither with God nor man. Pray Sin
the Holy Ghost" Congregationdlist.

SPECIAL To the New YORK re alu.
Utica, N. Y, April 8, 1sS0.--Tho Demo
cratic caucuses were held here to-day which
send delegates to the State convention. Those
in favor of Tidcn met with discouraging OPP
position. In but one instance was his name
mentioned. The Sixth ward instructed its
delegstesto vote against all measures looking
to his nomination to the Presidency. In the
Tenth ward caucusa set of resolutions were
adopted instructing the delegates to use all
honorable means to briHg about
tho nomination of Horato Seymour.
In the Twelfth ward also the ticket for dele
gate was headed by the inscription, "For
President, Horatio Seymour" In the Sec
ond ward, where lives John r. Seymour in
tho house formerly occupied by the Gov.
ernor, at the caucus presided over by ex-Sen.
ator Goodwin ballot stutiing was detected on
the part of the Tilden faction and the op.
position delegates declared elected. The

Syracuse determined to oppose Tiden
Heretofore, notably last year, the factions
were termed Tilden and anti-Tilden. This
year it appears to DO Tilden against Soy-
mour. In other parts of our State the fact
OF Seymour being put forward by his party in
his home MS candidate for the Presidency
may be regarded rs peculiarly significant. In
consequence of MIR. Tilden's action and the
surmised reasons for it in locating the State
convention ut Syracuse there is much disgust
here, tclt among all classes. Even his follow.
ers who only cling to him for what they may
get, when the little they might have is de-
MED them, are sulen and discontinued. In
spite of his repeated expressions of dissent
from the opinions of his friends that he
might vet DO induced to become a candidate
and with the Saratoga experience of 1876 to
guide them, yet the masses here believe that
Horatio Seymour will yet be President of the
United States, and nothing short of future
disappointment will convince them to the
contrary
