reduce its indebtness, has decided to reduce

will call for the payment into the Treasury
of the corporation of Sl50,0O0, or sum

Ihe assessment of aspirants for the office
otsherlH and Coroner, was also the cause
of some displeasure.
John O>Byrne Esq, as chairman of the
late Executive Committee was called upon
| to explain the articles referred to:
Mr.. OByrne stated that the matter was
brought before the Executive COMMITTEES as
means OF paying the debts of the party.
The various candidates were consulted
in reference to the assessment and thew un,
ammously approved of it. when the com
mittee entered upon It's duties, we were in
debt to the amount of $700 which we have
paid, and now have some considerable sum

dorsemeBt of this act of the committee.
having adopted it as means of raising A
| revenue
Geo. Gray objected to the resolution upon
the ground that it would be making law
| to build the party in the future and that the
committee should be satisfied with the first
part of the resolution.
mayor Whiteley said he was of the opin.
ion that the candidates for Sheriff and Coro,
ner should not pay old debts incurred by
the party
II. G. Turner-The men who thrive and
prosper in office should bear the burden of
debt.
j. H. Myers, Esq,-It is the duty of every
man who wants an office to pay for it
Senator Ray thought it wasn't Demo-
cratic Doctrine to have men pay for Offices
Mr.. Dllworth, of Port Penn, opposed the
resolution, being of the opinion that no
man should be assessed for political pur-
poses.
Samuel Townsend, Eqs,-Men talk of
running political machine without money.
Why you may as well sing psalms to
gate post as to run a party without funds.
Ii Il. Ray ever runs for Governor we will
assess him $500. Can it be that the gentle>
men Is aspiring to that office.

OF our own pocket to pay for his election.
A. b. Cooper, Esq, thought the resolu-
tion was an unfair one
John O'Byrne.-There is but one thing to |
do, and that is to give the candidates their !
money back.
William Herbert.-The committee have
done what they thought proper. You got
us to run the machine. We elected The |
ticket and gave money in the treasury. |

IN Sussex, that the Representative for Cons

Bayard, whose name is connected with the

THE COUTY MEETING.

The biennial meeting of the Democracy
OF the county. was held at New Castle, on
Saturday There were present the active
men of the party from every part OF the
county, all of whom felt great interest in the
proceedings The growing disposition to
be rid OF system of arrangement by few
self constituted managers, was very evi-
dent. The mere suspicion of a prearranged
committee raised storm of indignant pros
test, and the action of the meeting in this
regard, will be remembered In future. We
are free to say that the acting Chairman,
Isaac N. Grubb, ESQ.,, who is an old time,
and honorable Democrat acted with the best
OF motives, and without thought of the
consequences of his hasty announcement of
the names of the committee on Permanent
Organization. There were rumors, thick,
that several negroes were under particular
woodpiles: if so, they were afraid to put
up heir kinky heads, as the Judges to cons
duct the nominating election. and the
County Committe were fairly selected from
the people. The composition of the Execu
tive Committee differs but little, from the
last, the principle change being in Will
mington, where Messrs. Ogle, and Ware,
retire and are succeeded by Messrs. O'Bryne
and Norton, the former represented Brandy
wine Hundred in the former committee.
Esquire Publ remains.
There was very lively discussion upon
resolution endorsing the action of the
Committee on assessing the candidates for
Sheriff, and Coroner; it was carried by an
almost unanimous vote. There desire to
act fairly, and squarely by every Demo-
cratic citizer, was apparent and the party
may well be congratulated upon the honest,
and liberty loving feeling manifested by the
Democracy present

WHAT WE WANT.

The country is now as much depressed
and her industries as prostrate as they
were year ago. The hopes that summer
would bring with its zephyrs improved
trade does not seem likely TO be realized
What we are suffering from at present is
distrust and over-poduction. True statesu
manship would direct all its energies to
alIay the one, and open markets for the
sale of the surplus products of ou" indus
try 1t is within the power of the present
Congress to do much the towards permas
nent relief of the country. BY prompt
repeal of the resumption act, contraction
still going on at racehorse speed would
cease, and the threat Of confscation hang
ing over the heads of the people will def
niteIy end. 1t is beyond doubt true that
we can and do, even with our sbort~
handed industries, produce more than our
own people ant,-hence the need for such
an adjustment of the tariff as will lessen
importations, and promote the use of our
own products. The example of France is
worth following in many ways. She
makes it rule TO sustain by subsidy a
line of steamships to any country where
there is fair probability of creating
market for her goods, thereby promoting
the general prosperity Of her entire pee pie
It must be borne1in mind that the promor
ton of any branch Of industry must tend
to aid and develop many others interlaced
with it. We have shownf short time ago
that the balance of trade against the
United States, and in favor of South
America annually would pay $15o,OoO for
80 days in the year, at SLIGO rer day
