The suggestion of Hon. d. W. Voor-
bees. that the democratic party shall
meet in convention aud determine upon
line of policy and a platform, is wise
and timely. Every tcn.by-twelve dem.
ocratic politician in the union has, of
late days, undertaken to shape the pol
icy of the party, and has assumed to
say to it: "You must do this; you

to advocate them in the face of all op-

not be determined by the prospects of
success. Defense of sound doctrine in
a minority is preferable to an alliance
with error that may achieve success
We would rather fight for the princi-
Piles of the democratic party, if its men,
bers were to dwindle to the number OF
the apostles, than acquiesce in the doc

before been in the minority-is, indeed,
oftener put under the feet Of the ma

nations on their shoulders. Let the
democrats come together and consult,
determine what is best to be done for
the country, and enter into fight
for success, enthusiastic and determined.

make and render . return to the assistant
assessor Of the district Of which he re-
sides. Persons whose incomes are less
than $4,000, are not required to make re-

to assessors or assistant assessors to call
for such returns. In case any assessor or
assistant assessor has sufficient evidence
that any person Who has not made .
