 Ne extract the following paragraph from the answer of the Hon. William Wilkins, to q Committee of the recent Harrisburg Convention.
 fMy answer to your letter would still be imperfect if 1 did not proceed further and say-that, if it shall happen to be the pleasure of oy fellow citizens composing the Harrisburg Convention, to confer upon me the very distinguish ed honor of placing me before the na- ton as candidate for their second of fee, upon the same ticket with that ex- cell2nt Chief Magistrate whose admin istration l am at this moment faithfully engaged in sustaining, shall, with pro found gratitude, accept the nomination., and shall adhere to it until the same au- thority that gave 1t shall require me 10 yield it up. If the exalted nomination was in my hands, 1t never could be sur rendered but in obedience to the wishes and interests of Pennsylvania"

Mr. Buchannan addressed letter to the Committee, requesting that the Con vention would abstain from nominating him, and conveying these truths
 s'l did not believe that the character ofmy public services had placed me in that elevated position before the Anne rican people, which a citizen should first occupy, to justify his selection for the second office in the Government. To preside over the Senate of the U. States, and to decide all questions on which they may be equally divided, is an exalted public trust, which can never be usefplly or safely condded to any ci- tizeh, unless he enjoys in advance the highest confidence and respect not only of that body, but of the people of the sovereign States which it's members re- present. Besides, when 1 reflected that this office was the source provided by the Constitution to supply any vacancy which, in future times, might occur in the office of President, felt still more solemnly impressed that the station de- manded statesman of more mature age and longer experience than l pos sess."

Jealousy mud Suicsde.--A melancholy occurrence took place last week, at Maidstone. A man named Streeter, and his wife, who had been married not quite twelve month, were both drown ed in the Medway. It appears that they did not live happily together, and on the day of the accident they had, it is supposed, a quarrel; when the wife threatened to drown herself, and, unfor- tunately put her threat into execution- The husband jumped in after her,it is supposed, to attempt her rescue; but both were drowned. When taken out of the water inc man was quite dead, his hand grasping the woman's foot.-- Life was not quite extinct in her, but she soon after died. An inquest has since been held on the bodies, and verdict of 'sFound Drowncdn returned.

Misfortune The shaft of death hath flown
with fatal aim among our citizens. Early in the
winter it struck down many of the old. For the
last six weeks. its victims have been generally
found among the younger persons. Several have
persisted of the scarlet fever. There have also
been more cases of the cholera than usual. The
unerring shaft hath struck some of our amiable
families twice. In one case, two sweet children
were buried in the same grave and coffin. In
another family. two Of the children were swept
off in the course of the week.
Another instance has occurred, which has Civ
en- great pain to every one who has heard of it.
1t was bura few days since, that we had the me.

THE WIFE.

Feepst thou no joy, no quiet happiness.
No soothing sense Of satisfaction, in
Loving and being loved! Is there no weight
Removed from the heart. in knowing there is one
To share all, bear all with thee To soothe grief
Yea, to soften away its human pain
Bya superior love, the cup to temper
With words of consolation end sweet hope,
That even in its bitterness shall seem sweet,
Forgotten in the love that offers it.
Woman's love, like the rose poisoning in the
arid desert, spreads its rays over the barren plain
of the human heart: and while all around it is
black and desoIate, it rises more strengthened
from the absence of every other charm. In no
situation does the love Of woman appear more
beautiful than in that of syfe; parents, brethren,
and friends, have claims upon the affections, but
the love of wife is of distinct and different
nature. A daughter may yield her life to the
preservation of parent, sister may devote
self to suffering brother, but the feel.
ings which induce her to this conduct are not
such as those which lead Vife to follow the hus-
band of her choice through every pain and peril
that can befa him, to watch over him in danger,
to- cheer him in adversely, and even remain unal-
terable at his side in the depths of ignominy and
shame 1t is an heroic devotion which a woman
displays in her adherence to the fortunes OF
hapless husband; when we behold her in the do
nestle scenes, mere passive creature OF enjoy
ment, an intellectual toy, Frightening the family
circle with her endearments, and priced for the
extreme joy which that presence and those en-
dearmenis are calculated to impart, we can
scarcely credit that the fragile being, who seems
to hold her existence by a thread, is capable OF
supporting the extreme of human suffering; nay,
when the heart of man sinks beneath The weight
of agony. that she should maintain her pristine
powers of delight. and by her words OF comfort
and of patience, lead the distracted murmurer to
peace and resignation.
