Tho great general harmony anil unani mity of tho ultim&to action of tho lato Stato Democratio Contention, has been fully commented upon and rejoiced over by tho entiro democratic press of tho State The preliminary discussions took a wide fango, ind though never bitter were excited and animating. Freedom of speech was accord cd to every ouc, and doubtless it was the Cause of the Cordial understanding finally reached. In tho discussion, warm and spirited, as to tho manner of appointing tho Delegates to Charleston, Mr. North, of Lancaster, eaid it did not matter how they were chosen, but that Lancaster would cast 8000 Demo cratic votes for JOHN 0. BREOKIN RIDGE. At the mention of his name, tho Con vention. Delegates and outsiders, as ono ROJIIXATIOXS. ' man, gave a universal "hurra; 1" Tho ex- 1 pression was received with tho utmost en- thusiasin ; arid if any man before doubted of Pennsylvania's choico for tho presidency, it was dissipated in the roar of that tremen dous cheer. The name of Breckinridge is n tower of strength to our gallant democ racy ; and if the Convention at Charleston shall give us Breckinridge, wo will Foster the nomination until it bears most glorious vud abundant fruit.

The Chronicle, an "independent paper with strong Republican proclivities,'' ad mits that with 3Ir.

Tho Democracy havo no doubt upon tho subject, but wc cannot ex pect tiio Oppocition to flatly admit their defeat thus early in tho campaign, although they feel that their ease is hopeless.

Gen.

Ho was tho first to appear beforo tho great congre gation of Democrats at Reading and give an eloquent and earnest endorsement of tho nomination of Westmoreland's' "favorite son," tho gallant Fo.-tor, and we confident ly look to lum to take an active, prominent and intlueiiti.il part on tho side of tho Constitution and the Union, iu tho present contest.

AVo hope that our Pennsylvania ladies will not bo behind in omincndilig to their sex a machine, so long looked for, and that has for so niany years been the study of scientific men which they failed to accomplish, but now, tho true philosophy of washing, cleansing and bleaching, combined in ono simple process, has been inventud and patented by Mr. A. Iluffer, and manufactured in your midst, called tho "United States Roller Washing Machine." Gentlomen have not this part of tho drudging to preform ; therefore, it falls upon the weaker sex, less able to endure it. Not only docs this machine savo three fourths of the labour required on the old rubbing mode, but you arc not exposed to tho impurities of heated suds. Ladies should attend to this matter,1 as it cannot be expected to attract the at tsntion of husbands who seldom think of tho real hardships of washing, and if you havo servants, savo them all of tho unncs- sary toil and exposure you call. If a good man regards tho life of lus beast, how much more u hoiv-ekecpcr the health aud lifo of her servant. It is only ladies and scntlcinen who will reason thus.
