Barret, We are gratified to observe tho h'mdly feeling with which the late State nominations are re ceived by the Democratic journals throughput the State. . Although many have desired a dif-| ferent result, we ore happy to find that most of our worthy cotcmpornricswlis differed: with us on the nominations, have "bowed mpst gracefully to the will of the mojorlty, and are now honest-; ly advocating the claims of our noblo State for the’ Presidential candidate. Alt sensible men admit that the will .of tho people was honestly ’ expressed in the State Convention, and that it was made apparent in a most decided manner, that their, only ohoico was, Jamks Buciuxax.— The.papciS that had opposod Jiim before the Convention, have ran up his name, and are now like honest Democrats, advocating his uomina . tion i® the National Convention. This is tts it should bo. The Democracy of Pennsylvania have not onlya rigid to the nomi. nation, hat it is desirable that they should havo it to succor the industrial interests, not only of our own State, but those of every part of the Union. The interests of our Stnto are pcouliar to ourselves, :in a great measure, buktho protec tion afforded to them, diffuses a universal bene fit to the whole country. Tho manufacturing, minerar and agricnltaral interests of Pennsyl vania cannot bo over-slaughed without doing in ' jury to the balance of the Union. Sho is truly the “Kcifttonc 1 ’ of our glorious confederation, and whenever false legislation ormistahcnpoliey deprives her of tho proper position she should oc cupy, the country necessarily enffers. . 'This has always been the case whenever the vote of Pennsylvania has been lost to the De mocracy in- a Presidential contest. Whenever whiggery triumphed, Pennsylvania has always been a small oonßideratlon among those who speculate upon the triumph of error over troth, and her interests are uniformly set aside , to mate way for some “ Galphinism” that is calculated to swindle tho country to ten times tho amount that it would cost to do justice to the industrial interests of the Union. To remedy this evil wo want a Pennsylvania President—one who has tho experience and the talents to assert oar rights, and tho nerve to maintain them. ; Sacha man has never occupied . the Presidential office. Gen. Jackson; the man who; is revered by every honest-hearted Ameri can, was the only one that has ever done us sim ple justice; and although many good men have occupied the chair of state after him, the inte rests and worth of the Keystone Slate have been - degraded much below that of a “secondary con sideration.” - Wo have now, however, an almost certain chance for a Pennsylvania President. The favorite of Jackson is the favorite of the Union, as wo really believe, and the man who alone can carry his native,State by the majority given: to tho soldier; statesman and sage of the Hermitage. Jamcs Buchiwas is the man that will carry Pennsylvania with a triumphant majority, and when it is safe, wo may say, without badinage, that the country is safe. ' We repeat, that we are pleased to observe the harmonious manner in which the reliable Democratic journals havo consented to the decision of the-Convention, and judging from their kindly expressions, we angar a most glorious triumph.for tho Democra cy in thecoming contest. i PBSNSmASU DESIOCRAOr.

Tlio Anxiety, bordering on alarm, manifested by some of the London Journal- in reviewing tho condition and management.of the British army, is not unwarranted, if the accounts they publish ore true. The military establishment Of Groat Britain, at home and abroad, costs the oouutry about forty-two millions of dollars per annum; and, aocording to the London Times, this vast Bum is expended in maintaining an army of com paratively non-effective men. While the intro-, duction of improved/weapons and new systems - of discipline in France .have, within tlio lost ten years, almost doubted the efficiency oflier troops, i tho arms, accoutrements, and evolutions of the I British soldier, whether on horseback or on foot, are very nearly the same as they were a quarter of a century ngo. Undqr _ these oiroumstances, it is not strange that Louis .Napoleon’s 48,000 soldiers,' drilled after tho most effootive manner, and commanded by a chief .whose policy is war, , should occasion some solicitudo in the minds of the people of England. , w . The reverses which tho forces under Sir Harry Smith have sustained in Knffirland, speak for themselves. . They have boon defeated. in fair light by half-naked savages, whoso .superior marksmanship, light arms and equipments, ne cessarily give them o great advantage oyer their disciplined antagonists. Tho "heavy armor and weapons of the crusaders were scarcely more unsuited In a warfare carried on under the burn ing skies of Syria, than; aro the ponderous nc coutrcmcnls of tho British light infantry of S. Africa to the diraato of that region, and tho nature of tho service in which the troops are on i gaged. Tho English foot soldier carries, oven in a forced march, a burden of sixty pounds!— His clumsy musket Is the perfection of ineffici ency; if wo may use tho phtafee. Such is tho width of tho boro and tho windage, that what ever may be th<%olevatiou of tlio barrel, the va riation of the range amounts to half the attain able distance. Of two equal balls Bhot at the same elevation,- from tho same musket, nt differ- 1 ent discharges, one may be expected to go twico as ' f w as the other. Tho locks: ore so stiff that tho degree of muscular exertion required to draw the trigger, precludes the possibility of taking ■aim. Moreover, as o London paper truly says, the British soldier is oarefully trained not.to bo n uiarksmau—his entire allowance -of ball cart ridges for a year’s practice beingonly 80 rounds; The fire of aregimout may sometimes be destruc tive, just-os the round blowofatyroin pugilism may bring down a more experienced boxer; but the odds are fearfully against such a rcsult. Tho British "light” dragoon is a still more i cumbrous piece. of military machinery. He i-wcigha, with his arms and equipments, three I hundred and eight pounds, while hiq horse, the regulation price of which is $l2O, is quite unfit to sustain tho burden. A regiment of this class of dragoons was recently sent to the Cape; but it was found impossible to find chargers capable of carrying them, and they were transformed into grenadiers 1 ' -i What a deplorable contrast does tma state of | things afford to tho training and weapons 6f the i French soldiery, as described in on article pub lished in the Sunday Times two weeks ago.— B ven the Indomitable pluck of the British veter ans could not cqualiio the chances of battle in a contest with adversaries whoso artificial advan tages aro so superior to their own. ■ A regiment of marksmen, armed with repeating rifles, or with the long rango muskets now used in the Frcnoh army, would annihilate the liko number of English musketeers before tho latter could come to oloso quarters with them. Even t)io bayonets of tho English infantry ore of bad construction, being made two or three.ooncos heavier than they ought to bo in order to save exponso. Unless n new system of discipline and more effective arms shall bo introduced into the British army, " tho flag that for a thousand years has braved the battle and Jhe breozo,” may lobb muoh of its i historio glory in the next Europoan- war.—AT. T. | Sunday Times; How to treat a Wife* First pet a wife; secondly be patient. /Eon may havo greot trials and perplexities in your business with the world, but <lo not carry to your homo a elouded or contracted brow. Your wife may have many trinls, which though of less I magnitude may have been os hard to bear. A kind conciliating word, a tender look will do wonders in chasing from her brow oil clouds of gloom. You encounter yonr difficulties in the open nir, fanned by heaven’s cool breezes; but I your wife is often shut io from those healthful | influences, nud her health fails and her spintß lose their elasticity. -But ohl bear with.her; she Ims trials and sorrows to which you are a stranger, but whioh your tenderness can deprive | of all their anguish. Notice kindly her little at- 1 tentiouß and efforts to promote youF contort , Do Dot take them ns a matter of course, and pass them by, at the same timo being very suro to observe any omission of what you may consider j duo to you. Donot treat her with indinerenoo, I if you would not Bear and’palsy her heart, which ) watered by kindness, would in the latest day of yobr existence, throb with sincere and constant affection. Sometimes yield your wishes to hers. She has preferences asstrong ns you, audit may bo just as trying to yield to her clioioc as to you, Do you find it hard to yield sometimes 1 I Think you it }s not difficult for her to give up always? If yon never yield to her wißbos.therc is danger that she will think you are selfish, and oare only for yourself, and with snob feelings she cannot love ,as sho might. Again, show yourself manly, so that your wife can look up to you, and feol that you will act nobly, and that, sho can confide in your judgment. New Jeusev Legislatum.—Tbansit Doties.
