We have word to say upon the subject of or.
gans; not machines thatdisconrse music, but Pol.
lltlcs Social Reforms, etc. There may be those
who look upon the Bulletin as a Political organ
q or Democratic organ !; in other words a paper
bound tofollow the lead of political, partisahs to
limperatively and bliudly subscribe to-, and sup
Iport, whatever assumed leaders Of the Democratic
party may establish as principles or policies; We
would disabuse the public mind of such an error
and assure the people that we occupy no such Do.
lsition. The Bulletin is not political organ, and
it certainly is not organ in any other sense of
the term. Cosmopolitan IN our associations and
tastes; tolerant in opinions seeking happiness and
progressive advancement wherever in the wide
world orsin the wider domain of thought, these
gems are strewh, we are neither fitted by nature
nor habit to work in harness manufactured by
partisans, eliques and clans. We wish to make
the Bulletin sentinel on the watch tower quick
to detect danger to the public peace and happi-
ness. whether it comes boldly in the habiliments
of an enemy, cloaked under the false garb of a.
friend, and we would have it equalyquick to
sound tho alarm and expose error, fraud, and
wrong, and that with an impartial eye to the pub
lie good. We therefore hold ourselves at liberty
to criticise, condemn or approve the men or meas.
ures of all parties, as we may, in the exercise of
Judgment, deem them good or pernicious; and we
shall do this in the spirit of the motto at the head
of our editorial columns: s. Truth .cithom Fear"

Wefrankly state these as our views as to the
future course of the Bulletin, and trust they may
meet favor from the true men of all parties. We
would, however, remind those who want organs
hat the article is quite abundant. It is always
much easier and smoother acork to follow the
'eaten track than to aid in exploring the way and
'eating down the sage brush in advance. lei
