Delinquent subseribem
It is the most unpleasant part of our duty to remind
suincribers of their delinquency. But we are compelled
by
. necessity to do so. and to urge upon them the impor

I,4"...Flsl,lintltherepre we expend for tl.eir interests the
less they think of paying ue. :We are now upon the
sixth year of the Reporter, and although our subscrip
tion list continues to increase in numbed, and many of
our suberrabers arc in arrears for the whole time, many
°then — r'ltirtit eine.:tn taro, three. end form fliers; yet we
have not received as much pay from the whole amount
due to us in the last year, se we did in the first year af
ter we commenced. This certainly ought not to be, and.
must not, shall not be. Our expenses are necessarily
large, and we ere entirely dependent upon the trails of
our labors to meet them. If our friends wish the paper
sustained, they must 'come forward and PAT or. Givep
our dire and our means will be abundant; but we cannot
and will not continue to boy paper, pay Journeymen and
labor ourselves fur nothing. One of two alternatives re

Party Organization.
. This being the last paper we shall issue prior to the
nominations for the fall eampaign; we deem the time
most seasonable and appropriate, for some reflections up
on'the subject of party organization and action. The
success and continued supremacy of the great leading
piinciples of the democratic party', is in our most serious
belief, necessary, not only to the protection of individual
rights, but to the preservation and perpetuity of our con.
constitutional liberties. The question then, how are
these principles to be maintained, and their success in
sured?—becomes with us, one of most weighty and vital
importance. 4%11 will readily admit, that it can be done
only through the medium of concentrated end united
sedan aniong'all those holding a common political faith.
But bow are the thousand individual units to be con
centrated, and their united action secured upon a given
point 1 We answer, only by a system of organization
that shill fairly and honestly collect the will of a majori
ty, and give - voice to that will in the nomination of cm
didates to be supported by the entire and united strength
dowry honest democrat. This frequently and of ne
cessity calls upon the minority for generous concessions,
and a noble sacrifice of individual preferences, for' the
common good and success of the cause. We know how
difficult it is, for friends to surrender up and forget their
strong partialities for favorite candidates. We know too.
bow more difficult and trying still it is, for candidates
themselves, after hiving become deeply and warmly en
lated in the contest, quietly and decently to submit to
the action of a majority in favor of a rival candidate.—
Yet this is what the integrity and success aims party
demands. Democracy makes its appeal to the patriotism
and not to the selfishness of its supporters. That candi
date who would not cheerfully acquiesce in the voice of
the majority, expressed through the established forms
and usuages of the pray, exhibits i selfishness inconsis
tent with the character and professions of a democrat;
and demonstrates his unfitness for any position of trust
or honor. Be is a mere pretender, without one whit or
tittle of that generous and noble spirit which can estimate
the success of a great party, as paramount to his own
petty and individual interests.
The, coming Convention is to be one of deep interest
and whatever may be the result of its action. every sin
cere and honest democrat will give to the.candislatai no
minated their moat active and efficient support. The
result of the election next fall will have a most decided
influence and bearing upon the interests of the democratic
pasty in Bradford for yeas, to come. Can any earnest
and true democrat desire that the important office of
Sheriff should)* filled for the next three years as it has
beenfor the last; by a bitter Whig partisan. exerting the
. whole influence of his office—and speeding over the
county with his deputies, belieing our principles and
vilifying our candidates I Dearly have the people paid
for their folly in permitting idle and unfounded stories
circulated against the democratic candidate, to sway
than so fa is to cast their votes for a Whig. The cry.
as. all will recollect, was raised against our candidate,
that 'he would exercise his office oppressively upon the
people, and with an eye single to the making of money;
while for their candidate, they claimed great humanity,
and a total indifference to selfish views. We ask demo
crate to east their eyes back over the last three years, and
then judge how much truth and sincerity there was in
this idle and groundless charge.
We allude to this subject only for the purpose of testi
lying our friends against the idle and unfounded stories,
- which, judging'from the past, we may reasonably expect
will again be circulated against whoever may be the
candidates of our party. Efforts to excite disaffectiqn
and ill feeling among the unsuccessful and their friends,
must be expected, and should be promptly and indignant
ly resisted. When a violent political opponent professes
to a democratic friend, whose claims have been postpon
ed,his sympathy, let the democrat thus addressed, feel
assured that through such hypocritical professions, he
seeks to:overtbroW our party and secure the success of
his own.- Let every earnest and true democrat stand,
firmly in'defince of the usages of the party;,sustaining
with his whole influence its organization, and the candg
dates selected by the convention, and its triumphant suc
cess in old Bradford, by a largely increased majority, is
as certain as that the day of the election will arrive.—
Harmony and good feeling will thus, and thus alone be
prowned,and our party strengthened and cemented into
firmer bands igainat the great struggles of 1847, sod '4B
width as hrt. approaching.

TRAGICAL OCCORRENCI. to WARRINOTOW
A painful and tragical event occurred at Washington
city on Monday evening, on Pennsylvania Avenne, near
Fuller's Hotel. On account of some misunderstanding
between Rufus Elliott, (a brnther•in•law of Mr. John C.
Rives,) William Z.' Kendall, (a son of Mr, Amos Ken
dall,) and Josiah R. Bailey', the party first named shot
Mr. Kendall dead on the spot, and severely shauered - the
left arm oT Mr. Bailey. by two discharges from one of
Colt's revolving pistols. There are many contradictory
stories in circulation respecting the circumstances of this
melancholy affair. The survivor has given himself up,
and is in custody. .
The following letter to the Public Ledger, furnishes us
with the facts in this unfortunate occurrence.
WmmucoTozir Crry,-Tuesday, morning, 6 o'clock
You have the announcement of the death of William
Z. Kendall, son of the Hon. Amos Kendall, by thehand
of William Rufus Elliott, the brother-in-law ofJohn C.
Rives, Esq.; and the wounding in the arm of Mr. Josiah
Bailey, a printer, formerly of• Baltimore. For years past,
these three young men have been as intimate as brothers.
Some hours previous to the heart-rending occurrence.
young Kendall and Elliott bad a quarrel, which was
espoused by Bailey. About six o'clock, young Elliott
armed with a six barrelled pistol, and leaning on an iron
gun-barrel cane, stationed himself on the corner immedi
ately above the Globe office, on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Mesita. Kendall & Bailey had been playing at Butch's
nine-pin alley, on Fourteenth street. Just as Elliott
stood there, they came out, and passing down by him,
Bailey remarked to Elliott that " now they could settle
that difficulty." Elliott, looking after them, replied,
you have your friend with you now."
Kendall and Bailey were joined on the other side of
the avenue by two tither friend'', and after sone conversa
tion Kendall, remarked, angrily, I will go over and
lick him now." He crossed over, and reaching the spot
where Elliott was,soon took the canefrom him. Elliott,
finding his cane.. gone, drew his pistol and pulled the
trigger; the cap exploded. Elliott retreated backwards,
Kendall pursuing; Elliott pulled the second trigger,
when the ball entered Kendall's chest, between the sec
ond and third rite, and he fell a lifeless corpse. Bailey,
who had approached to assist Kendall, before he fell,
now advanced upon 'Elliott, who continued to fire. On
ly one •shot look effect upon Bailey, shattering his left
arm. These are the facts submitted before a jury, and
a verdict has been rendered in accordance therewith.
Elliott went in a hock tq his friend's George Parker,
Esq.. where, at ten o'clock. he surrendered himself up to
Captain Goddard and B. H. Morrell, Esq. Be was
e.ommitted to jail until this morning, when an "examine.
don will be held at the Court House. The excitement
throughout the evening and night was tremendous.

not proceeded far from their old post before Col. Twiggs
and one or two other officers were attacked with fe'ver,
and obliged to suspend their march.
The first blow that shall be struck by Mexico, the
-Washington Union says, will become the signal of effi
cient and vigorous hostilities oa the part of the United
States. The Union, under the head of " Preparations,"
states that the Potomac will be repaired at Pensacola,
and within a week will doubtless be ready for sea. kl
The Marion, at Boston, is nearly ready. The Con
gress, at Norfolk, will be ready in two weeks, and will
sail for the Pacific, under Captain Stockton. Comman
der Dupont goes out in her on special duty. The Co-
lumbia, at Norfolk, and the United States, at Boston,
(both frigates,) will, as a reserve force, be ready for sea,
the one in thirty, the other in forty days, if needed. The
brig Dolphin, at Norfolk, is ready for sea; as also the.
sloop Dale. The necessary orders forthe Pacific station
were forwarded long ago. The Cyane will be a valua
ble aid to our squadron in that ocean; and with the re
turning East India squadron, and the Constitution, our
• commerce in that quarter seems, for the present, safe
enough.
"Thera is no doubt that the administration is taking
every precautionary measure to meet any contingency
which may occur. It is throwing troopsinto Texas, and
providing arms and rations for any additional fora which
the Texians may bring to our aid. We are collecting
strong squadrons in the Gulf and in the Pacific- If
Mexico should be mad enough to declare war, and at
tack us, we shall be prepared to meet her at once. The
promptitude and energy of our govemnient will be felt at
every point.

The supreme g overnment, after attentively
examining the affairs of Texas, 'and the annexa
tion of that department to the American Union
—after weighing carefully all the* evils which
the republic may suffer therefrotn, if its offended
home and the integrity of its tertitory, thus seri
ously endangered, should not be vindicated by
the law of nations—has decided; with the unani
mous consent of the council. upon the painful
extremity of a war with the United States. Al
though this resolution, resting peon clear and
acknowledged justice, and provOlsed by a series
of grievances not to be borne without disgrace,
has long since been indicated, and is conforma
ble with the repeated dernands;uf the nation ;
yet the government could not but reflect upon
the responsibility involved by such a measure,
and on the evident circumstance that, as the
election of a constitutional priisident, and the
establishment of a new adminiOlon, are near
at hand,,the c hamber might consider it mote na
tural to leave to that body the decision of a
point of such transcendent importance. But
the supreme government has net wished to ap
pear, for a moment, less decided in favor of a
just and national war, than it was disposed for
a worthy and honorable pears.
The government continues . to prepare the
most efficient measures for recovering Texas,
and for placing the nation in the attitude most
proper for it. If it does nut effect all that it de
sires, it certainly does all that it can ; and the
chamber should not doubt either its efforts or
its patriotism. On this very day are prepared
the financial measures which must, from their
nattire, precede the execution of the present ini
tiatory re:l:dation.
The chamber will bear in mind the third part
of the 34tli . arri,•ile of the treaty of friendship,
Itcrintinetee, and navigation with the United
States. In the opinion of the uovernment, it
has already practised over and above all that is
therein required.
In vitae of what is here said, and of the cir
cumstances and documents communicated to the
chamber relative to this important affair, and un
der the conviction that the farts to which the
first article of the following resolution refers wttl
he confirmed, his excellency the Preeidene, at
a emmeil of the minister s , and with their full as
sent, has been pleased to • rdcr me to address
the chamber, in the folluu ing terms,as approved
by the council
ARTICLE 1. From the moment when the su
preme government shall know that the depart
ment of Texas has annexed itself to the Ameri
van Union.or that troops trom the Unitm have
Invaded it, it shall declare the nation at war
with the United States of North America.
ART: 2. The object of this war shall be to se
cure the integrity of the Mexican territory, ac
cording to its ancient limits, acknowledged by
the United States in treaties from the year 1828
to 1839, and to insure their. independence .d• the

Extract of a letter from Pensacola .Aug. 11.
In the New Orleans papers of the 13th, 7th,
and Bth instant, you will see it stated, under the
head of Mexican news, received there by the
schooner Relampavo, which sailed from Vera
Cruz on the 21st ultimo, that there is a strong
probability that Mexico will soon declare war
against the United States; and that such a
meaiture would he submitted by the Executive
on the 17th ofJuly, fur the deliberation of Con
gress.
The French brig-of-war Mercure, has just
anchored in this harbor, bringing dates as late,
as the 27th July from Vera Cruz. I have seen
the commander of the brig. and heis of the opin
ion, derived from conversing with his country
men long established in Mexico, that the war
proposition above mentioned is a political mea
sure, to insure the. election of Gen Herrera ;
and that no one at all acquainted with Mexican
politico, believes that Congress will, in any case,
acquiesce in it. It is said to have been accom
panied by a message from the Executive, sta
ting thatfifieen millions must be raised at once,
to meet the expenses of the war. I write in
great haste, as the mail is just closing.
" I expect the Saratoga is about ten days from
Vera Cruz."
U• S. NAVAL FORCE IN TUE Guts.—The

States squadron in the Gulf of Mexico is am

quarter..• Including the steam frigate Mississip

This.- we.believe, - is a larger force than has
ever been-heretofore concentrated under the

On the western coast of Mexico there is, or

hundred and thirty-five lives.—On the night
of the II tit instant, on the Black Sea, about 40
miles east of the Bosphorus, a most dreadful
catastrophe took place. Two Turkish steam

they clustered round the paddle-boxes until
they were taken in. Captain Lambert and an
engineer were picked up by a boat of the Scu

souls. perished. Their agony was a short one,
but it was terrific.

silence—amid the shirks of despair nl.Cliris
