AL the democratic meeting held in Tammapy Hall
on Monday evening to ratify the nominations in the
adopted touching upon federal politics. These will
be found in the letter of New York correspond
ent. They speak the sentiments of the ancient and
faithful democracy OF New York, who thus proclaim
their confidence in and approval of the administration

They strong and emphatic, and assure us that in

BURNSIDE BREEoH LOADING cARBLNE.

We learn that the Secretary of War has, in conformity
with the report Of the second board of ordnance officers
at West Point giving the Burnside breechloading car
bne the preference all other bcechloaders given
to Gov Jackson of Rhode Island, representing the Bs
to Fire Arms Company, order for the weapon to the
extent of the appropriation 25OOO made in June last
by Congress.
The giving of this order upon the report of the ord
nance board confirming the report of the army board Of
last year favor of the Burnside cabne for this
prestige of which the owners may well be proud.
The Burnside gun must come into extensive use as
first-class military and sporting weapon.
