A portion (Ain't sulwribers will find arathell to .
their paper this week, it suspicious looking missive,
hick when carefully examined will show to them
the amount of their indebtedness for the Reporter.
,The most of these are subscribers who have not
paid us a red cell ?isice we commenced publishing
the Reporter, now three years, and we thir.k it is
about time they began to make amends for their
negligence. 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.
We are satisfied that the cash system iS the best
in the newspaper business both tot the publisher
and the subscriber. So think most of our pa:rons,
we take rleaSure in saying SO, we have no
doubt some of those to whom we

BROTHF.R JONATHAN TOR THE HOLIDATS —This
vast sleet of pictorial illustrations , for Christmas
and New Years has come to hen, and we must
say that its merits are not over estimated by the I
publishers. The tare engravings of "The Country

the paper cost over fourteen hundred dollars. Al.

great odd.. The price remains as usual, 12.3 cents
or ten copies for one dollar. Wilson & Co. ; New

The Chicago Democrat of the Bth inst , says about
Michigan Election—" Although all our news from
hlichigan is bad, we are satisfied ourselves as yet
only that the Congressional district of Gen. Cass has
gone against us.
There is a moral in this defeat that cannot fail to
be appreCiated. Gen. Casa is a great man in every
sense of the word and will long be remembered as
one al America's most eminent statesman ; but his
southern policy will not do for the North.
The candidate fors Congress in his district was

he would not attack him. 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

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

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

Mr. Benton then nffnaled to the struggle and final

The long session of Congress was clarety occas

point of separate or conglomerate co o ri l i - ra tio n o f

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

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

of the others are in banks, or on benches, and in

to the Union meeting in St Louis, and brought in

and concluded his speech by referring to the vari

presented to Congress for the advancement of Wes

1):!7- The great palace of glass far the Worlds In
dustrial Exhibition in 1851, is now under process of
emistrucion. The following summary of its di
mensions will be perused with interest: •
The building is designed by Mr. Pason. its

girders, 1128 iron bearers, and 358 iron root sup
porters ; 34 miles of guttent, 202 miles of sash bars,
and 900.000 leet of glass. ,The gutters will be 24
feet wide. The sight corers eighteen acres. The
exhibition space is about 21 acres, which can be
greatly increased by additioual galleries. The con
tract with Messrs. Fox and Henderson is for
£19,-
800, or £150,000 if the building is permanently re•
taMed. •
PULSION OF ER Kt: Naortoes.—The citi7ens of
the District of Columbia are, .somewhat uneasy, it
is said, on account of a proposition submitted to the
Virginia Reform Convention, for the expulsion of
free itegroes. They dread the overwhelming in.
flux of that claw', and the addition that wool I be
made to the tan thousand already residing in the
Distiid, a majority of whom are idle and worthless.

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

man—that is,an opponent of Webster. of Fillmore,
of Slavery and of Nine/napping. Both the senate

161 will^. and 169 opppositerm. (f the forty Sena

tires Mr. Webster his final quietus ire ltifeasichti
setts and ire the. Union. 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.

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
