Error in the Electoral 'Tickets,
•
We find, noth withstanding all our care, an
error has been made in the Electoral tickets
printed at - this - office. In oue.of the tickets
the B: is omitted from the name of Nathaniel
B. Eldred. Those in whose hands the votes
have been placed, should destroy the ticket in
which the error oacurs, that none of them
May find th it way into the ballot-bores.
Democrats of Bradford!
. Amidst the exultation with which the De
mocracy are hailing the late victories of the
Wepubrican party, we must not forget thatone
• more charge is to be made upon the ranks of
Federalism. Thafthough dispirited and brok
en, it needs one more onset to - make the victor
ry complete. It is ne time now—having
gainOd half the battle, to sit down in an over
eaby confidence, and permit our opponents by
a. desperate and despairing effort, to regain
the ground we have already won. To secure
: the - triumph of Democratic principles, requires
• one more effort-,one more deterthined and
' , rigorous effort. Our victories already are
"merely auguries of Democratic triumphs to be
achieved by activity and zeal—mere premoni
tions of the overwhelming, strength of the De
mocracy, and of the glorious victory which is
within their reach.
Democrats of - Bradford ! are , 'you prepared
for the conflict ? Are you active in the good
- eld Democratic cause ? Are you ready to de.
cola, Tuesday next, to the advaileement of
your principles—,.to the bringirq hack of the
Republican party of the Nation to the ancient
landma r ks, and the broad and eminently de
mocratic policy which distinguished the ad.
ministrations of Madison, Jackson and Van
)Buren ? In a last desperate hope that some.
thing may " turn up," the political Micawbers
of the opposition are secretly, but actively
yakking nrrnnrments to poll the mit' pi Fele.
ml vote of the County. Relying upon the
confidence inspired by the late victories of the
Democracy, `to keep Democrats away from the
polls, the Whig leaders are visiting each eiee,
lion district in the county, rallying their for ,
ees, distributing money, arid making all nee,
essary arrangements for bringing every Whig
• vote(.to the polls. There is a systematic ar•
rangement to this effect, in every County in
the State. Money has been collected in the
Custom houses at Boston and New York, for
the purpose of securing the 'State for Scott,
"end is row being distributed in every County.
To thwart theie plans it is necessary for every
Democratic voter to

The Contest Is at Hand.
On Tuesday.neo the great question is again to I
be decided whether
. Dethocratie principlea,—the I
v Principles of progress, of reform, of economy, "of
equality, shall be reaffirmed, and thegovernment
of this Union restored to the party which has
aehieved'its greatness in I prosperitY.'...which thro'
thiadministrations of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
Jackson, Van Buren, and' Polk, trebled its extent,
cemented its strength and rendered it an object, of
respect and admiration in all-lands, and the hope
of the struggling . and Oppressed throughout, the
world, --or surrendered to the faction ofa party,
the Galpliins of Gen. Taylor's 'brief Administration,
who are trading on the military availability of an
" old soldier," an I would for place barter the inler
rity of the Union. The question presented is mo
mentous. The time for' discussion is passed, anti
that for action has arrived. We trust that every
Democrat has considered of his duty as a distinct
and responsible portion of the sovereignty of this
great nation, and is prepared In discharge it man
fully, promptly, as an independent ffeeman. The
hope of the future is in the success of Democratic
principles. Let every democrat then come forward
and discharge-this sacred and lt:ghest duty of ist•
ing his vote los his (*wintry.
We have every thing to cheer its to the tOntest
—urn brethren from Moir e to Florida, wave before
us the banners of victory and call upon us to emu
late their achievements. Our Candidates are such
as the Democracy will delight to honor. Contrast
them with their opponents, contrast their positions
and there vrill ,be rte hesitation in giving them, for
themselves as well as for the cause, , a ready and
hearty support.•
There, can be no reason assigned why every man
who pretends to l)rat a Democrat, should not cast hi•
vote for PI ERCE and KING. The representatives
of no clique, faction or section, we have every rea
son to esprct that their admini.tration will be dis
tinguished by a broad ant Democratic National
policy, which knows no geographical distinctions,
hut recognizes only our whole country—which
knows no divisions, but only the entire and united
Demociatic party—which will be above the influ
ence of any i sectlonal question, however potent, and
act for the best welfare of our land.
What will Bradlbrd Do
Bradford County gave the State Ticket about 600
majority. What shall be her majority for PIERCE
and KING ? Democrats, we submit the question
to you. Shall we allow it to be reduced I The
hope of the Federal leaders is to cut it down. They
are now travelling the County, with Custom-house
money to effect this. Shall h avail ? Not if the
Democracy will determine otherwise. Let the
word be passed along the line that the majority in
tiradford shall not be diminished, and let every De•
mocrat work from this day on, to prevent such a
mortifying result. It needs but activity and zeal,
to roll up as large a majority as we give the Slate
Ticket—a rally of the Democracy will insure it__
andto get out every voter, should be the great care.
flc:r Among the losses by the late fire, none come
with more severity, than the destruction of ihe
Bradford Argus upon the proprietor. The loss is
complete, not a type being saved, and ihe books
barely rescued, and Mr. PARIONS finds himself
stripped io . an hour of his property-, find degrived of
his business. Tha case is peculiarly a hard nne,
and appeals at once both to the generosity end jus
tice of the Whig party of the County. There is
enough due the establishment, we have no clues,
lion, the payment of which promptly, would enable
the Judge to procure another establishment, with
out appealing to the generosity of his Whig friends.
It there is a man indebted to the " Argus" office,
he is no man, if he does not now square up his ac
count. It is no fon printing a newspaper in a Coons
ty where the party is in the minority, nor particular•
ly lucrative, and when afire sweeps away an entire
printing office, it becomes decidedly an "up-hill"
business. As we suppose the Whig party will in
sist upon having an organ hereoodissiminate their
hereses, we trust they will not allow the printer to
starve while serving them.

A Glorious .Victory, Truly
•
In estimating, the magnitude.of th 4 late Dent°.
erotic victory in this State : it must be borne in mihil
that neither of our candidates polled the full fiertiond
King cote that was brought out. An inspectioti of
the returns from the several counties,,w ill -fJeirion
this beyond cavil; lithe Democrats who voted for
only one) of our State candidates, and but the 'other,
had voted to a man both for WOWV, I AHD and Ws
lcuis, the Democratic votewould . have been from 5,-
000 to 8 . 000 greater in the State, As it is, howev.
er, it will do very well !
Orate 2nd of November there will be no culling
no:scratching. • The Democracy come to
the work Actium, plomb, and solid. A majority or
25 000 tar Fleece 'and Canto, is not at alt_improba
ble.
Beware of Spurious Tirketsl
Great care should betaken in voting the Electo- ,
rial Ticket, that it is genuine. .Be careful of votes
with two or three of the Democratic ticket left off,
and Whigs substituted. The electoral ticket at the
head of the Reporter is the correct one, as furnished
by the Chairman of the State Central Committee.
p mast also be remembered that Hon. Gummi: W.
Woormsno has declined his place upon the ticket,
and Hon. NATHANIEL B. ELDRED has been substitut
ed.
Kr :his being our last issue, previous to the
election, we have devoted it almost exclusively to
political matter. We shall 'endeavor, now the con
test is ended, to pay more attention to the literary
part of our paper, and mako it in every respect a
good family newspaper, which will be welcomed
into every family it may visit.
Death of Son. Daniel Webster.
This distinguished Statesman, died at his resi.,
dence at Marshfield, Sunday morning last, at a few
minutes before 3 o'clrek. in the 71st year of his
age. We extract the following account of his last
moments:—
The last hours of one so beloved as he whose
earthly career has just closed amid so many cir
cumstances of consolation were of the same even '
tenor as all the rest. The public are already in
formed of the chiel features of that deeply interest
ing scene, up to the period when Mr. Webster de
sired to take leave of all who were in the house.—
One by one, in deep sorrow, but sustained by his
own great example, the members of his family,
and the friends and attendants pante ill and took
leave of him. He desired them to remain near his
mom, and more than once enjoined on those pres
ent, who were not at his immediate family, not to
leave .Marshfield till his death had taken pl a ce
4easured by all that his every wish would be re-,
ligiously regarded, he then addressed himself to his
physicians, making minute inquiries as to his own
conilitunt, and the prof able termination of his life.-
Conversing with great exactness, he seemed to be
anxious to he able to mark to himself the final pa
riod of h e dissoltrion. He was answered that it
might occur in one, two or three hours, but that the
time could not be definitely calculated. " Then,"
said Mr. Webster, " f suppose I must lie here qui
etly till it comes." The retching and vomiting new
recurred again. Dr. Jeffries offered to Mr Web.
ster something which ho hoped might give him
ease. " Something more, Ilactor, more—l want
restoration."
Between 10 and 11 o'clock, he repeated some,
what distinctly the words " Poet, poetry, Gras,
Gray." Mr. Fletcher Webster repeated the- first
line of the elegy, " The curlew tolls the knell of
parting day." That's it, that's it," said Mr. W.,
and the book was brought and some stanzas read
to him, which seemed to give him pleasure. From
12 o'clock till 2, there was much restlessness, but
not much suffering. The physicians were ,quite
confident that there was no actual pain.* A faint
ness occurred, which led him to thick that his death
was at hand. While in this condition, some ex
pressions fell frarn him indicating the hope that his
mind would remain to him completely until the last.
He spoke of the difficulty of the process or dying,
when Dr-,Jeffries repeated the verse—" Though I
walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod
and Thy staff, they comfort me "
Mr. Webster said immediately : 11 'lle fact, the
fact., That is what 1 want ; Thy red, l'hy rod ;
Thy anal, Thy staff"
The - close was perfect'y franqnil and easy, and
occurred imprecisely 22 minutes before 3 o'clock.
The persons present were Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher
Webster, Mr- and Mrs Paige, Mr. S. A. Appleton,
Misi Downes, Mr. I.eroy, Edward Curtis, Peter
Harvey,. George T. Curtis, Charles Henry Thomson,
(or Themas,) Esq., George J. Abbott; and W. C.

and 4, Mason Warren, and the.gennmal ettendanta .

We,learn that Mr.. Webster, by his own special
Alkrection will be parici in an caoatentatious man
net. The funeral services wijl be performed by
the clergyman of the parish ° Mout!) Marshfield, at
which place the remains will be interred in the
tomb. Ae yet no day has been fixed for the fa

—Will this terrible visitation, arouse itur citizens
to the necessity of procuring a tl.e apparatus, ade
quate to. the wants of the town 1 It is a disgrace to
the place, that we are totally unprepared to meet
the ravages of the devasting element. An engine,
on ihisloccasion, would have saved thousands of
dollars worth of property. We hove been peculiar
ty fortunate upon the occasion of the late fires in
this place,-the wind favoring the safety of buildings,
and a combination of favorable circumstances oc.
curing to save property from destruction. We
cannot etways expect to be thus fortunate, and with
out means to combat the flames successfully, may
on some occasion, see our entire village reduced to
a smoking heap of rains.
There is more necessity for action, from the fact,
that WO certain that the files with which we have
been visiteckwere not the result of accident. This
last fire, when first discovered, was blazing from a
box of shavings in the old ten,pin alley, entirely re
moved from any place where fire bed been, and
where it must have been-kindled designedly.

"Let niesptali to that ciowd."
The " committee" Who have the custody of Gen.
Scott oxationally lose sight of their charge, and
when be escapes, there always follows some speech
or wet which espdses the habitual weakness of the
whfg candidate i fdr the Presidency. An amusing
instance occurred at Congress Hall on Saturday
evening. As the General descended from his room,
to which he was conducted by the Hon. J. C.Spen
cer and Hollis White, (an odd .conjunction,) he
stepped into the parlor where he - onet a lady and one
or two gentlemen. After exchanging salutations
with the lady, was an old "acquaintance, and re
ceiving the congratulations of the gentlemen, he
suddenly interrupted the conversation by saying:—
. Let me speak to that crowd," and moved ripidly
to the piazza. The lady and gentlemen, somewhat
startled at this sudden movement. and not seeing
the " crotid," passed through the room to the front
windows; adirthere finding, a few boyS gaping in to
see the great show. The vanity stricken old hero,
imagines that a " crowd" of ad.airing, wondering
worshippers are ever waiting.to listen to his ego
tistical twaddle.— Antony Ad ds .
The•B`oaton Pilot ; in speaking:l:g the prey.
ent electioneering contest, says
"The great effort of the eamptiign has been to
make adopted citizens believe a lie about General
Pierce, and, upon the stren4ilv of that lie, to win
their votes. The Geholie press—the natural advi
ser of adopted citizens in these matters, promptly
met the falsehood, and hurled it back- upon us All
(hors The papers which got it up have abatttiot;e,l
their ground in despair. They have bribed the prAt
masters in many places It seems that at several
p os t o fF l oeq, we fear iv very.many, the Catholic pit
pers are stopped, their wrappers hrcken nil , 'he
Robinson speech, or some other equally vile sheet,
folded in the papers, when the wh4ile is re mailed
or dtstribu•ed to subscribers. - So that a paper Ilia'
contains a dentmUiatin of the Robinson speech
may have that very speech Wrapped in its bolds."
