Delegate Meetings.
We wish to call the attention of our democratic rem.
den to the fact, that Saturday, the 30th day of August
jillitn;ls the day appointed by the Standing Committee,
and sanctioned by custom, for the democratic voters of
the county, to assemble in their primary meetings, to
choose delegates to represent their respective electioirs
&midi in the convention to be holden Tuesday of the
first court week.
:To the committees of Vigilance appointed by the
Standing Committee we would suggest, that it is their
duty to give fain and seasonable notice of the time and
place of holding the election for delegates, by advertise
ments and otherwise, so that no democrat remain in ig
norance of the meeting.
' We would urge upon democrats, generally, the imperi
tiVe necessity of attending the primary meetings. It is
necessary alike to give the voice of the people in the se
lection of candidates for office, to ensure harmonious and
efficient support to the candidates so nominated, and to
make the success of,the democratic party certain.. ,Then
we say, let no democrat, who is able to attend, stay
away from the Delegate meetings.
Year after year demonstrates more clearly, the efficien
cy and indeed the necessity of the Delegate system. It
is necessary', to keep up the organization, without which,
the &access of the party would be uncertain. And if
Democrats, generally, will only have a voice in the se
leclion of good and trusty men as delegates, it will in
fuse a spirit and animation into the ranks of the party,
and a reliance upon the justice and merit of its claims,
which will pill down at once disorganization, and war
nut our success:
Mizaannozz Cast...um—A fatal occident occurred,
one day last week In Springhill township in this county,
by which Mr. Darius Shumwaya respectable citizen of
that township lost his life. Mr. Shumway and his son
were riding in a common lumber wagon, and as they were
about to descend a steep hill, Mr. S. walked on ahead,
leaving his son to drive the horses. By some means the
horses became frightened and ran off at full speed down
the hill, throling the young man out of the wagon. It
. is sapped that when they came'up with Mr. Sham
.way he endeavored to stop their career, and in doing so,
was struck with some portion of the wagon on the head
and instantly killed. He was found just at the toad tide
with his brains literally dashed out.

end a broad brimmed black hat.
Mr. W. offers a reward of sloo4or his dettetion, if
taken north of Mason & Dixon's line.
...Tan New POST Orrice Law.—The operation of
this law, as was expected, has been to decrease the re
ceipts at the several pot offices. It remains yet to he
seen, whether the : inmease of correspondence will not
be sufficient iri a few years, to sustain the department.
The resignation of country postmasters has ceased,
probably on account of the circular issued by the Post
master General, increasing the amount of pay received.

ITION Oar 07 LACASTINCOMITTWO understand
that Mr. George M. Lauman, of Middletown, and Mr.
George Wolf,. of Columbia, .bave purchased' a Met of
land near Safe Harbor, in Lancaster county, containing
one of the largest and most valuable beds of iron ore to
be found in the country. This tract of land belonged to
Mr. John Miller, contains 105 acres, and was sold for
the low sum of $ll,OOO. The ore is of the same quali
ty as the celebrated aural Hill ore, and the supply is
abnostinexhaustible. 'Some of the veins are from fifty
to sixty feet thick, and they lay so conveniently, that a
ton of ore can be mined for twenty-five cents. Another
great advantage is, that the ore can be mined and token
in barrows or carts, a distance of a few yards, to boats
on the Conestoga Navigation, • continuation of the
Tide Water Canal. There is a great abundance of the
beat of limestone on the spot.
Fans z? Nzwronv, R. I.—The Ocean Hotel, a largo
and commodious hotel at that celebrated watering place
—Newport, was burned to the ground, on Sunday Aug.
3d. This house was erected winter before last, eta cost
of $36,000, and was insured for $lB,OOO. The furni
ture was worth s2s,ooo—two-thirds saved ; insured for
$9,000.
Newport hat been crowded with visitors' the present
season. There were over three hundred and.fißy at the
Ocean House, and every place in the city fulL
On Sunday, at one o'clock, is the fashionable throng
were dressing for dinner, the cook-house caught fire, and
soon enveloped the whole fabric it being of combusti
ble materials—in names. As soon as the alarm vrasgiv
en. a scene of the utmost confusion ensued. The task
of hurrying out baggage and furniture commenced, and
the field opposite was soon covered.
The saddest portion of the calamity is the death of
Samuel Fowler Gardiner, Esq., one of the °blest, wealthi
est, and most enterprising citizens of Newport. Rumor
already adds the name of other victims.
Fine ra WILLIAMSPORT.—EIy the Lycoming Ga
zette, we learn that on Thursday last, about 12 o'clock,
M. the building on the corner of Pine street and Black
Horse Alley, in that borough, owned by A. B. Curt
raises, Esq., of Philadelphia; and occupied by Mr.Wri.-
LIAM TILL, was entirely destroyed by fire ; and but for
the active exertions of the fireman and citizens general
ly, the whole of that portion the village would again have
been a heap of smoking ruins. The stables of Judge
Anthony and James Armstrong, Esq., were repeatedly
on fire; being * sepinited only by an' alley twenty feet
wide, from the burning building. Other buildings in
the vininity were also in great danger, and were only
saved by dint of the moat extraordinary exertions—the
thermometer during the two hours that the fire -raged
standing at 90 in the shade—and the sun during the en
tire period pouring its vertical rays on the roofs of the
building' already as dry as powder.
Tea Onyxes Quverrox.—The Washington Union,
alluding to a discussion upon the Oregon question be
tween the London Foreign Quarterly Review and the
Edinburgh Review, says that the administration will" as
sert and maintain all our tights . to the Oregon territory,
and that they will preserve and uphold the sacred hon•
or of their country."
The Quarterly goes decidedly for the British claim ;
predicts that our next Congress will throwout any occu
pation bill, because " it cannot be carried out without a
warwith England."
The Edinburgh Review proposes to compromise upon
the 49th degree, with the advantage in favor of England,
that the 49th '• should cease to be the boundary when it
reaches the coast, and that from thence the boundary
should be the sea. This would give England the whole
of Vancouver's Island," &c.

There has been another decline in iron, and

The intelligence from Algiets gives an ac

the Arabs had taken refuge, was the seine of
this horrid affair. Here they were hemmed in,
fagots were lighted, and the unfortunate wretch

IRELAND.— The 12th of July.—The celebra
tion of the 12th of July by the Orangemen pro
voked the attacks of the Catholic party in se
veral instances, and in one at Armagh, we re
gret to say, the affray ended fatally. Several
of the persons engaged in the fray were arres
ed, but were rescued immediately with the
greatesteffrontery. The soldiery paraded the
streets during the night, and remained under
arms all day on Sunday, to enable the peacea
ble inhabitants to go to worship.
MININO IN ANERICA.—Agents for parties in
the United States interested in the extension

England, btu -ily engaged in selecting our best

in America ; no less than forty of the men at
the Bishop Wearmouth Iron Works have beet
tempted to give up their employment in En
gland, and to proceed to the United States to
be employed in a manufactory there.
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT DAIIARA, IN ALGIERS.
-It is thus recorded in the Akbar, of the
sth inst., a French journal published at Al
giers :
There has just occurred in the Dahara one
of those terrible events which deeply afflict
those who behold them, even when convinced
ol their frightful necessity, and when they are
justified in declaring that everything possible
was done to prevent the catastrophe.
It is known that the corps commanded by
Colonels Pelissier, St. Arnaud, and de I'Admi
rault, have been carrying on combined opera
tions in the West. Col. Pelissier was busy
in pursuing the Ouled Rialis, who hive ne
ver yet submitted, as they live in immense ca
verns, where it would be madness for the
troops to enter. On the 18th of June, finding
themselves closely pursued, the Ouled Riahs
flew to their usual place of refuge. After hav
ing surrounded the caverns, some fagots were
lighted and thrown by the French troops be
fore the entrance. After this demonstration
which was made to convince the Arabs that
the French had the power, if they pleased, of
suffocating them in their hiding-place, the Co
lonel threw to letters, offering to them life and
liberty if they would surrender their arms and
their horses.
At first they refused, but subsequently they
replied they would consent if the French troops
mould wittidraw. The condition was consid_
ered inadmissible, and more burning fagots
wt•re thrown. A great tumult row arose, and
it was known afterwards that it arose from a
discussion whether there should be a surrender
or not. The party opposed to surrender car
ried their point, and a few of the minority made
their escape.
Col. Pelissier. wishing to spare the lives of
those who remained in the cavern, sent some
Arabs to exhort them to surrender. They re
fused, and some women, who did not partake
of the savage fanaticism of the majority, at•
tempted to fly, but their husbands and relations
fired upon Them, to prevent their escape from
the martyrdom which they themselves resolved
to suffer. Col. Pelissier then suspended the
throwing of the burning fagots, and sent a
French officer to hold a parley with the Ouled
Rialto, but his messenger was received with a
discharge of fire arms, and could not perform
his mission.
This state of things continued till the night
of the 19th, when, losing all patience, and
no longer having a hope of otherwise subdu.
ing these fanatics, who formed a perpetual
nucleus of revolt in the country, the fire was
renewed and rendered intense. During this'
time the cries of the unhappy , ' wretches were
dreadful, and then nothing was heard but the
cracking of the fagots. This silence spoke
volumes. The troops entered and found 500
.ead bodiee. About 150. who still breathid;
were brought into the fresh air, but a portion
of them died afterwards.

In consequence of -the annexation measure

engaged in covering the flat roofs of their

in anticipation of a bombardment of the town.
An official statement of the military force of

which is about 30.000. Of this force about.
19.000 are infantry, 8.500 cavalry. 2,500 ar

A correspondent of the " Jeffersonian " con
eiders the object of convoking the Mexican
Congress to be solely a declaration • qf war.—
Mexico has divided her territory in ten mili
tary departments ; the fifth comprehends New
Leon..Coahuila, Tamaulipas and Texas The
following is the correspondence of the "Jeffer
sonian :
VERA CRUZ, July 3, 1845
DEAR SIR:—An extra session of the Alexi:
can Congress has been called by the President,
to take into consideration the affairs of Texas
and the . United States. The result of this will
be, beyond any manner of doubt, a declaration
of war. Th'e day fixed for the meeting of the
Congress was the Ist of July, and consequent.
ly by the next mail from Mexico we shall re
ceive the news of its installation. Nothing
will be done in the way of a declaration of war,
until the official news of the action -of the 4th
of July Convention is received ; which news
will be brought down immediately by the
British frigate Eurydice, it is supposed. Go
vernment makes no great bluster about a war,
but at the same time is - making active prepara
tions, secretly, of a most energetic character,
as I am assured by those who know what is
going on. The intention is to send thirty
thousand men to Texas, and with his object
orders have been given to Gen. Paredes, Com
mander-in chief of the canton!) stationed at La
gos, to march with all his troops to San Luis
Potosi. The number of these troops is said
by some to he five thousand men, and by some
seven thousand—cannot say certainly.. The
greatest activity is em ploved in the fortifications
of Vera Cruz, and the Castle of San Juan de
The fleet left this place on the 12th ult., des
tination unknown, and has not yet made its
appearance, much to the annoyance of Ameri
can citizens, who feel quite uneasy at the en
tire absence of all succor, at a time when ttrey
are sure to need it.
Gen. Almonte has been very war-like since
his return - , and preaches up .0 war to the knife,
and Yankee annihilation.' It appears that he
recommends very strongly the use of letters of
marque, and has brought. it is said, from the
United States, a copy of the documents which
were granted to privateers by our government
during the late war.
You may rest assured of one thing. that if the
annexation is consummated on the 4th of July,
that war will be the result of it, and that imme
diately.
Some few shouts of federation, by the
troops, are heard, but merely insignificant.—
The people are universally in favor of federa !
lion. hut they do not want it to come in a re
volutionary form.
Yours, truly,
The news of the revolution of Tobasco was
announced in the city of Mexico on the 28th
ult. The Sigtio . Die: y Xucve, itself the
eloquent advocate of Federation, pronounces
the affair the most ahsurd of all military out.
breaks. and adds that the unanimous indigna-
tion of the Republic is the only feeling it will
excite.
The elections in August are for one half the
Chamber of Deputies, one third of the Senate.
one half of the Assemblies of the Devartments,
and for the President of the Republic. The
canvass does not appear very animated.

MAZATLAN, 23d April, 1845
On the 18th inst., considerable excitement
was caused in this' place. occasioned by a bo
dy of artillerymen matching through the prin
cipal streets, towards the custom house. On
their arrival at that place, the officer in com
mand received orders from the Collector of the
Aduna Terrestre, to accompany one of the
clerks of the office with Sestigos and lay a
forced embargo at the point of the bayonet on
the property of the only , two American housis
in the place, Parrott & Co., and Mott, Talbott
& Co., to satisfy a demand for duties caused
by a law of the State of Sinolon, 1834, which
law was annulled in 1837 by the tariff of thit
year, and from that date up to a few days pre
vious to the date of this the Custom House
had never demanded from any house such
duties.

were caprices of . the Collector, and from the
concoursicif people who were present, it was
sufficient to disturb the piece of the port and
bring on the country a war.

of the American Consul has nut been raised,

that effect.. The Consul is determined to re

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ST. JOHNS, N. B.—
A great fire took place at St. Johris, (N. B.)
on the evening of the 29th ult., which destroy
ed about forty-five buildings, mostly wooden,
and property estimated at about £60,000. It
broke out between the blacksmith's shop of
Mr. Nesbit and chandlery of Mr. John Walk
er, at the corner of Ward greet and Peters'
wharf. The fire was confined to this street
and wharf, Water st. and Prince William et.,
and Johnston's - warf. Our correspondent in
forms us that all the printing offices in town
were thrown into confusion by this fire, being
either burnt out or removed. It is supposed
that there was insurance on much of the pro
perty destroyed, hut no accurate estimate had
been made. There is no insurance company
at St. Johns. so this part of the loss will fall
upon other communities.

DR. SMITH'S (SUGAR COATED) •• IMPRO
VED INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS,"
Are daily effecting some of the most astonishing and
wonderful cures that have ever been known, in conse
quence of which they have now become a shining mark,
against which all the arrows of disappointed hope, envy,
and uncharitableness are levelled without distinction.
The town and.Fountry are alike filled with their praise.
The palace and the poor house alike echo with their vir
tues. In all climates, under all temperatures, they still
retain their wonderful powers, and exert them unaltered
by age or situation. They are simple in their preparation,
mild in their actions, thorough in all their operations, and
unrivalled in their results. They are anti-bilious, anti
dyspeptic, and anti-mercurial : and they are peculiarly
beneficial in the following complaints; fever and ague
yellow and bilious fevers, dyspepsia, croup, liver, com
plaint, sick headache, jaundice, asthma, dropsy, spleen,
piles, colic, obstruction, heartburn; furred tongue and
foul stomach; nausea, diarrbcea, costiveness, loss of ap
petite, sallow complexion. colds, and in all cases of tor
por of the bowels where a cathartic or an appericnt is
needed.

To the Citizens of Bradford County.
MY FRIENDS havin g seen fit to make use of my
name as a candidate to represent their county,
I think it en edierit that 1 should make them some re
ply on the subject, tvbich is of no small ma g nitude but
is of the deepest interest, %hick in part constitutes our
liberties.
All that I have to say to my friends will be summed
up in but few words. I feel grateful to them for the ho
nor that they wish to confer upon me, and if they think
me worthy of the office I shall feel myself binned to an
swer the will of my constituents. end never happier in
so doing. As what constitutes their best interest will
effect mine,asthey are cernemed together, and if we keep
this our motto we shall not be led by the first impulse
to barter our liberties for British gold, or any other si
nister motive, which is horrible to me and I should think
to any free-born citizen of this our republic.
I should like to visit the adjactnt townships and fol
low up the ridiculous Eishion, but my integrity and dif
fidence forbids. I could greet my friends under al iost
any other circumstances better than this; and I should
think that my friends would lose all confidence if I
shuold take those measures, which would either show •
want of knowledge or a wish for gain, and not the ge
neral good. My -business calla me to more useful pur
poses. I remain, your ob't servant, with esteem.
