CoLT's PATENT EXTENSION - INVESTIGATION

Saturday laat, for an investigation by COM

on the gro.1.nd that the object Of the law and Of

, In the matter Of naturalization with regard to
This patent. One of Colts witnesses, in the e.
animation by the Commissioner, If we are not
mistaken, sdmitted that the repeating firearms
had yielded the applicant profit OF over Q
million Of dollars The Com missioner was,
therefore, right in refusing ano.h extension
Of the patent. The inventor having thus been
enriched Fl m the bounty drawn from the
pockets Of the community, II is time that the
monopoly were abolished. Mr.. Smith, of vir-
ginia, said that II he were peace man, like

The Hard Shell Democratic State Copvcns,o,
-~Whalss la tine VNsudg


On Wednesday, that is, tomorrow, july the
18th, at noon, our Democratic Hard Shell State
Convention will assemble in the city of SYRIA
cuse, for the purpose Of nominating candidates
for such State Offices AZ are TO be filed at the
November election, and for "the transaction OF

According to the list Of delegates which we o ?

fall one--its proceedings will be bona .fde,
and Its resolutions and nominations entirely IN
dependent Of any calculations or expectations
in connection with the free soil administration
wing of the party.
The call for this assemBage Of the infexible
hard shells declares that besides the nomiua-
lions to be made for the State Offices, they will
be required TO transact "such other business a.
may come before them" And this is the cream
Of the matter. We presume that, under the
present arrangement Of parties In this State, il
will make very little difference as TO what gen.
ilemen are favored with the nomination Of this
convention, for nobody supposes that without
the intervention Of some extraordinary reyolu-
ton, the hard she'll State ticket viii or can be
elected. They may beat the administration
free sellers more signally than they did last
year; but they may etill fall hundred thou

stively easy; because .u-y are all honor and no
profit, If the spots were n~ulved, the case
would be wholly different; for then the nomiua-
onswould be the only business Of the coaven-
ton worth talking about. But we must take
the case as 1t stands. The hard shells can have
no expectation Of electing their State ticket
and consequently their convention must have
other ob,ects in view than their candidates; and

PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION IN MExICo-
The BLOCKADE OF ACAPULCO RAISED BY THE
UNITED STATES SHIP PoRTsMoUTH.-It will be
seen by our last advices from Mexico that the
revolution, far from being extinguished, is
spreading like wildfre through all parts of the
country. In Yucatan, Tehuantepec, Rio Verde
Estate of San Luis), Chiautla and Chetla Estate
Of Puebla), Huajepan de Leon Estate of Oajaca)
Tampico, lula Tamaulipas, Tuxpan Estate Of
Vera CRUZ, and even in the State Of Mexico
itself, the banner Of revolution has been rails
ed, and from the evidences that manifest
Themselves on every side, ii Is evident that the
Dictator will not long be able to sustain him
self in the possession Of the supreme power.
To crown his difficulties, the blockade Of Acs-
pulco has been raised by one Of our own yes
sells. After furnishing him with the sinews Of
war, We are likely to be immediately committed
to active hostilities against him. The summary
manner in which the Governor Of Mazatlan was
about to deal with the lives Of party Of
American emigrants who were seized in the
Gulf Of California, on their way to Sonora, and
the outrsges committed on our mail steamers
on their entrance into the port Of Acapulco,
will place our government in the consistent
position Of aiding with the one hand and
striking with the other. We have so frequently
pointed to the probability Of such Q result,
that its realization will now surprise no one.
There Is one consolation, however, attending
the unfortunate error that has been committed
in diverting the pecuniary resources Of this
country to the unworthy aud criminal object Of
endeayofing to sustain the Mexican tyrant In
the possession Of his ill-gotten and much abused
power, and that is, that we do not believe that
cent Of 1t will ever be appropriated to that
purpose. From the revolutionary symptoms
that are everywhere manifesting Themselves, it
ia certain that he will soon be compelled TO fly
the country, and the seven millions which he
has received from our government WILL In all
probability, be laid by 10 provide for this con-
tingency. One of his agents has been endcs'
yoring TO lean the money in Wall street, at 6vt
| days call; but finding no one would take 1t or

England, to be invested in the Dictstor's name
| Tho government that succeeds him will hav'
but D beegarly account Of the proceeds Of thi
nefsrlous bargain; for, in the position In whicl
be Is placed, II lie clear that but little of i
win ever find its way TO Mexico. It viii be

Official ratification by our government for It's
conditions to be made publicly known. From
the mesgre particulars which that already
trantPired, We gather that the treaty provides
for the opening of the ports of Simoda, on
the island Of Nippon; of Wapakiang, on the
greater Loo Choo Island; and of Chkadade, on
the island of Yesso, near Mstsmsi, within. the
period of twelve months. Simoda has been
surveyed by Lieut.. Blunt, Of our Navy,
and bis report is that although small,
the harbor is easy Of access, and is
desirable station for our whaling vessels.
Provisions and assistance are to be supplied to
all American vessels Writing the coasts of ia
pan, and distressed American seamen are to be
provided for and protected A treaty Of COM
merce and fixed tariff between the two eoun-
tries are in progress of negotiation, and our re-
lations with this hitherto exclusive empire will
thereby he placed on the frmest and most salts
factory footing We need scarcely point out
the advantages that are likely 10 result to our
commerce from the success of this important
negotiation. Besides the credit and honor Of
being the first nation that has ever succeeded
in breaking down the barriers of exclusiveness
by which this singular people have surrounded
themselves, we must derive great benefit from
the new resources which it opens up to our
manufacturing industry. California, as pos
sessing the nearest American ports, will be the
first to feel its effects, but the Atlantic and
Pacific railroad will soon diffuse its adv sntages
over every part of the Union. In congratu-
LAT tho xha I-sl
which the successful and peaceable conclusion
Of this important negotiation has secured to
1t, it would be ungrateful not to award to Com
modore Perry the just tyisute of praise to
which he is entitled, for the tirmness energy
and tact that he has displayed throughout the
whole of this delicate and difficult transaction.
But for the judgment and decision that he ex-
hibited, the results, limited as they are, that
he has obtained, would have been shorn of
some of their most important features.
A curious difficulty, we are told, arose in the
progress Of the negotiations, that proves the in
innate knowledge that the Japanese possess of
the internal affairs of this country. II seems
that one of the points on which they laid most
stress was, that no American females should be
allowed to enter the territories of the Empire.
1t is evident that the Japanese, with their no.
tons Of the subsection in which the fair sex
should be kept, labor under strong apprehen-
sions of the inconvenient results that might
follow from an invasion Of strong minded wo-
men from the Atlantic States. In this respect,
we cannot altogether condemn their attempt to
oppose barrier to the destruction Of their
domestic quietude, by q crusade of the mission
aries of woman's rights With few Antoi-
nette Browns and Ernestine Roses amongst
them, their couches would soon be converted

Congress,

The delicate state of our relations with Spain,
and, through her, with France and England,
impose upon the representatives of the people
duties of great responsibility and delicacy--
We wish that We could hope from that body
any action worthy the dignity and power of a
great people. But the experience of the past
warns as against the indulgence of such idle
anticipations. Sectional, party and personal
contests we may expect in abundance, but a
common contest for the welfare and honor OF
the country is thing not to be imagi ned
What noble and refreshing spectacle would
be congressional session of deeds, and not of
words; of labors for the public good, instead of
vapid defamation and disgraceful strife. How
the world would be electrified and delighted il
the Congress of the United States would cxhib-
1t, at the most critical moment in our foreign
relations wise and comprehensive patriotism;
and. while animated by the wise counsel of the
Governor of South Carolina, in his recent mes
sage, that "our government should pursue a
sound and discreet foreign policy. and avoid
the appearance of grasping at any portion of
foreign territory" would at the same sine. so
strengthen the naval arm of the country as to
compel foreign governments to respect our
rights and honor The tremendous war now
raging in the East, and which must in the end
involve all Europe. and our difficulties with
Spain in regard to Cuba, warn the representa-
tves of the people to place the country in such
an attitutd as will either insure respect from
foreign governments, or successfully resist ag-
erosion should it be attempted Fifty millions
expended upon the navy and army would be
true economy; for, in all probability, 1t would
avert war in which our commerce and sea
board would lose hundreds of millions. Our
government should also give its immediate
attention to the Introduction ofal the improved
methods and instruments of modern warfare. as
exhibited in the Eastern war. The number of
steam propellers in the navy should be greatly
increased; the Minnie rife and the Lancaster
gun, introduced into the land service. The
Congress of the United States in word. should
prepare the country for the very possible event
of war
Instead of this, instead of great national
spirit, capable of compromising the dignity
honor, duty and interests of great nation, we
shall see East arrayed against West, North
against South, miserable out cries about econo-
my, and the danger to be feared from large
navy and army. Instead Of manly and eff
cient action, we shall have ridiculous and in
fammatory speeches against foreign govern
ments, which will excite their hostility while at
the same time the country will be lef, without
the means of encountering he peril which the
buster of windy demagOgues has provoked
Should there be different result the country
will be agreeaby disappointed.
