There are others, again, who have suffered themselves to be twit years and more in arrears. We have male it a rule, (which we shall htfiealy follow ) not to allow nny subscriber here aft.er to get more than two yeas in arrears, in julitice to ourselves and him. It can hard!) be expected we should furni-h a paper ,t ratuieusly ; we are net disposed to do So. IVe expect every man who Likes the Reporter considers it worth what we ask for it. We print it for the sake of a living, and any one who does not consider it worth the subscrip tion price, and is not ready to pay once a year, we arc desirous ghoul t notp.itronize us. There is a rerni.sF!lei , l !limn the part of, some in paying for their new.p.ipers, which to .us is urac : countable. They have the idea dint' printers .cati snbsist upon wind, we believe. This is a g reat mistake The current expenses of aptinting office, are cash, and whether subserifers pay or not, must be met. The negliuence of sullsciibers, (for we cannot suppose they mean to vinipg a publishei) oflen makes this difficult from the receipts. There is a gross wrong in tae's ; morally—tor ve don't be here that those NA ho are mosrbarkwaril in paying for their newspapers, would alloW any ether account to rim two, anise or four years without as much as a notice. Ifthey did, they would expect some day to see a constable at their will an invitation from spine neighboring justice of the peace, to attend a le2al soil re.

The candidate fors Congress in his district was Mr. Reel of the . last Congress. lie was a young man of great talents and great promise ; and all that defeated him was his southein votes in Con greis, given against his own will to aid Gen.

He suffered the lime to me without ripe ' g the il iscusmon. and thus there was no occasion for it. The object he had in view was accomplished in a manner more agreeable to him. The object of opening the disenasion in Mis -ouri, was to awaken the people of the United States to a scheme, having in % iew the dissolution ol the Union. In the Senate, the labor of carrying on the discussion was taken oil his hands by the disunionist!' th msetves, wbo avowed their suten• lion on then of Cnngre-s. His ittereilnlity m the disunion mine then vanished. He knew the people would take rare of themselves. He saw . Taylor and Clay standing upon the platform of com mon sense, reason and pastier, viz : that every measure should rest upon Its men merit. General Taylor kept on the track until he died. Henry Clay bolted—rot operation easy to him brit mariag ing,whirli. he had all the lolls Initialed together. Mr. Benton then nffnaled to the struggle and final separation of the bills, and their passie,tesepamtely. The long session of Congress was clarety occas ioned by Mr. Clay's changing, ground on the vital point of separate or conglomerate co o ri l i - ra tio n o f the - different measures. Ile Then reviewed the proceedrngs of Crmgress nn the slavery question, and alleged that the expenditure of public money consequent upon this pieracied discussion was to be attributed to the Omnibus bill. The cession opened iolently for di-anion. The speeches made asserted that not the Goulding, bat the ha n k i ti2 down of that vehicle, caused this change. Alan) .

A large portion of, j i ; ;,, part of t h e T eed ' is il,.vmeal to Mr Clay. Mr. Benton then alluded to the meeting held to St. Lou is to celebrate the passage of the peace measure, which not oily bestowed prat-e but cetimire. Hit did not allude to himself—that came, of cout.e, horn the composition of Wll:gs anal milliners—but they censured General Taylor. by implication, in resolutions which applauded Mr. Filmore and his Cabinet fir giving milueoce to the imppott of the Omnibus bill. lie felt it his ditty to defend General Taylor Ile had been just and kind to him. and by his ap pointing Colonel Fremout. lie as much as said he disapproved of the proceedings of that Court Mar tial. Ile also did General Taylor ustice on another point. He believed General Taylor was sincere in his declaration that he would not remove any one from office far• opinion's sake, and whenever a rase was brought fairly before him, -he acted tip to that noble declaration.. Sack removals were made—brit a President must act npon information, teal is liable to be motel. Ile cited as print the case all Dr. Heap,!Con-ul at Mini, and reasserted that Gen.

The rest are Union Democrat*, who are now de ceived, and will come right of themselves. Of the thirty odd nominally elected as aiiii•Benion ,men, not one was elected by antillenton 'democratic strength. He made this declaration witho u t f ear 'of contradiction. He examined the case at icier. con city ;. and in every case where an anti-Benton man was elected, it was done by a combination of Whig and anti Benton votes, under the pledge to go with the majority of the Democracy. Further there was not a county in the State where an anti• Benton man can now be elected on the anti-Benton Democratic ticket. He stated tine his FiK month's speaking in Missonri stirred up the people for the Unioh, and prevented a separation of States. It al so prevented Missouri from sending delegates to the Nashville Convention. He dwelt on the anti Benton party. He charac terized their comae as mean, diabolical anti inter. nal—neither Whigs nor Democrats should affiliate with them. There sere twelve in the last As sembly, and about the same number in this.

THREE MATHS ET TH C - PIRTAI Aru RE DM - BARGE or A Butrr.—We learn, by means of a despatch from &footrace, Pa., that on the t4th Mai, a fatal acci dent occurred on Leggett's Gap Railroad, by a pre mature discharge in the operation of blastir , carnerode . Th ree men were killed, and severa l others were severely wounded. • Dratics To MR. CLarrost —On Saturday last the Whigs gave a dinner in the OM Fellows Hall iu Wilmington, to Hon. Jo hn M. C layionr Mr. Charles • Dupont presided. The Hall was bandsienely dee waled and'a fine bantt of music was present.. ItC response to the third tegolar feast Mr. Claytonlamil. and delivered Oongainil carefully written speech? Aker a brief alit iotito the late,Whig defeat-lit-Del tteferre he proceeds to * history of the 'edertion and administration of General Taylor. Referring to the session of Congress preceding the election of 1848, he defends the Clayton Compromise bill', and pars a high compliment to President Polk for his views on the question of the admission of California. and diet of slavery in the territortes. The " omnibus bill" of the last session gave occasion for some Pa. tirical remaiks, tout he pays a compliment to Sen ator Peltier of Maryland, for . blinging about its de. feat. Mr. P., he i urjl, consulted him on the bill, be fogs presenting it in the Senate. He they. speaks 'cif the separate measurei adopted by Congress, qua lify ing., in some respects, his approval of all of them. He makes no direct reference to the Fugitive Slave bit'. These measures, be thinks, contain ,nothing winch shnuld excite one ports of Union against the other. Ae exprlsses the utmost confi dence in President Fillmore, and the most ardent devotion to the Union. The President's course in regard to appointments to office is defended, and a handsome compliment to Wm. D. Lewin, Esq., was loudly responded to by the company. The De la Francis claim and the Galphin claim are next reviewed. Mr Craw ford's connection with the lat ter was, he said, wholly unknown to the other members of the Cabinet until long after it was paid. He pays a -warm tribute to his associates in the Cabinet. The foreign policy of Gen. Taylor's ad ministration, his desire for peace with all nations, hts suppression of the Cuba expedition, his sympa- - thy fur Hungary and her fugitive chieftains, his net :zonation ot the Nicaragua treaty, &c., were tespee tively dentibed and dcleuded The duties ot the State Department herame Tori - oneroes for Mr. Clay ton. and m June he • tendered his tesign. ticm, but, at the solicitation ot the President, he hdrew it. The character of the deceased 1 reFiJent was warmly eulogized, and this concluded his speech. _Tae NEXT SIM ATOIII Fame MASIVICIIVPIETTS It is now ascertained that the next Senator from Massachuseits4 well be what they style an opposition man—that is,an opponent of Webster. of Fillmore, of Slavery and of Nine/napping. Both the senate and Howl , of Representatives hare returnee! oppsr• *Mon majorities Full returns from all , the towns iv hick) leave made choice of representatives, give 161 will^. and 169 opppositerm.

He will retire from the State Department in less titan two years, more ex orcised than he ever was befoye; to know, where he shall go. From the vote of in+ o•vn town, we infer that old Marshfield would not now elect him as Its representative to the Slate Legislature. •So true is it that the. masses of die people are very much A% iser than the wisest man among them, to say nothing of their superior honesty, the highest wisdom.

It w ellthere lore, be the further duty of the Legislature jets( elm. sent, to elect, this winter, another Senator fur the sex years following the 3.1 of Marcie next The choice -of United Slates Senator in Slassa chteretts is not made a' ire this State by a majority of both branches at the Legislature on joint tnillot, but by the concurrent Poles of each separately gi ven, so that wiles. tenth branches agree upon the same candidate there will he ro choice.

I.‘TF:f.T most Stlt JOHN —E.rfrrrortharrry Piglet of Carrier l'igrons.—We learn from a pro ate source that on Finlay last - two of the carrier irons taken by Sur John Roes when he left the pint of .Cyr; and &Mlle (11 which were to he ths dispateherbliorne in the event of hi.. either findipp. Sir John Franklin oi being hozen in, strived .Sat Ayr, finding their way at once to the dove cote which they occupied previous to being taken assay. The birds we understand, arrived within a short time of each oilier ; but neither df !hero, we regret to be informed, conveyed any thing in the shape of a letter or note of any kind. One of them, indeed, which may have had some document attached, was found to be cOnsiderably mutilated, its leis having apparently been shot sway. The time triey were liberated by Sir John Rosa is of fonrse but taking into consideration the' well kno.vn pow - Csli of flight possessed by the carrier pigeon, it Can not have been very long since theY left our gallant countrymen.. The arrival of anthentic news from the Aiciic regions will be looked forward to With additional anxiety, from the probability which has now arresen that some tidings may have been heard of Sir John Franklin'. Independent, however, of the interest which otherwise attaches to the ex tra °titulary flight of the pigeons, it will be regarded by naturalists as a most remarkable incident 11 e . do not recollect of any parallel to it. The distance the cealures must have traversed cannot be far sliorrof 2 000 miles, and as they have travelled by „sight, and not fly scent, 'lib fact is more extraordi: nery.

It says it wil. con centrate at New Orleans the produce of ,the Pacific whale fishery. The oil would be transported across the road; anilthe ships kept permantly in the Pa cific, evoiding both the ontward and homeward passage round-Cape Horn, which at present occu pies nearly one-third of the entire period they are absent from the United States is consumed west of the 'mountainit, and the :Bulletin says the annual import of oil info New Orleans would pfobably amount to four or five millions 01 dollars-, and would be constantly increasing with the increase wants and population of the Great West. The same result would lake place in supplies required for the West of teas and other productions of India, which wek' inevitably find their way to the Unit ed States by this route, as they would reach the waters of the Atlantic ara point but a few hundred miles from the mouth of the Mississippi; whereas 11 they went by the Panama me to Chagres s they would be transported to Neel York arid PhiladO l. phia a4 . chcaply and as promptly as to New Orleanst.
