^ us abide by it, If we wish it al'ered, the mode is indicated on its own pages. That instrument was designed to protect each and all of the States in their peculiar rights. If wo wish to trespass upon those rights, J we can have the Constitution altered accordingly ; or dispense with it altogether. There are precedents enough to guide us in such a career. Look, for instance, at Central America?Mexico?or the Argontine Republic. Look at any two commu" nities at war with each o l?er: There is tho opposi e of the principle which our Constitution enjoins, in full operation.? Would our glorious Republic he bpnt fitted by its adoption? Would the general welfare" be promoted by it / If not, then let us stick to the old ship, which lias borne us along for more than half u century, so gallcntly and ao safely. Journal of Commerce. COCHRANE BOM8 CANNON. \%T a S. nril 1 Q IT A3UI11U1U11) [MUKUIM ) ilj'lll tv> I The rumors of war have set some of; our people utjouf considering whether we are at all prepared for such an explosion. What is the result? All our funs prove to be almost entirely unsupuihrd with ordnance. We have plenty of forts, but precious little in them. Hence, some of the various improvers of fire onus, who have been danc ing attendance upon the Government for a long time to no purpos?, have been brought out by thctoscin, and are offering their plans, it is passing s'range, but very true, that even the best of these meets with opposition among the official personages who ought to he foremost in giving en- i couragement to every improvement bear. : ing marks of any thing like promise. I allude to Cochran's new Patent Bomb Cannon. If a number of members ofCon. gress had not seen its meriis arid taken it 1 up vigorously and fearlessly, this great 1 invention might never been heard of.? ; There is every likelihood, now, of its i getting into general use and superseding all 1 other ?finance. It lias been tried twice 1 here, in the presence of large assemblies. The last trial was on Saturday, April 11, at the Arsena!% But before I describe the triumphs of this last experiment, at which I myself was prison', I will s ty :i word about the powers to which the new invention makes claim. First, then, it can firo sixteen shot in the time required for two of an ordinary can noil; some say more, it can oe managed by six men; for the minagonvrit of an ordinary cannon, eleven uro required, so that eaeh one sav >s the rations ol five men. It has no recoil, hence docs not require to - lie kept in its place by breeching. It is charged without either swab or ramrod.-The rapid firing does not heat if. O.diniry cannon must be cooled wiil? vinegar and wafer after thirty discharges ; but Cochran's has been found perfectly cool after one bundled shots in rapid succession. It has thrice the durability of ordinary cannon. All guns first fail at :ho breech, where the charge first ignites and the ball starts; but as Cochran's is conslrucn d with n three chambered revolving breech, of course it mus; be of thrice the durability oi those now in use. It has been observed by some of the t members of Congress who have witnessed experiments, that a single stealer with two sixty-four pounders cons:ruc:ed on Cochran's plan, might destroy any line of battle ship. None of the latter carry heavier metal than the forty-two pounder, and while these were under the act of being loaded, an unbroken s'ream of fire would be pouring in upon the line of battle ship like re. iterated thunder bolts so that nothing could save her from sinking. Thesteamer, too, being smaller in s:ze, would be less cx posed, although so much larger in power. Tho advantages from increased celerity would equally uttend the use of Cachrnn's gun in fortresses. " For a garrison gun," says a letter of General Waddy Thompson, . Chairman of the Military Committee,? 44 there cannot be a doubt about it." 44 I regard it as beyond measure," observes he in another place,44 the greatest improvement in the way of fire arms that I have seen. On Saturday last.lhe uttendtincc at the Arsenal was very numerous. A great number of Senators and Representa'ives appeared. The experiments were thoroughlysuc cessfui. The first thirty two discharges were made within four minutes. In the next experiment, seventeen discharges were made in two minutes and twenty seconds. In the third, there were eight within the minute. In the fourth, there were three in a third of a minute. Quackery.?One canno' peruse the advertisements?which daily uvet his eyes, recommending an infinite variety of nosu , rums as certain cures for all the disease that full to the lot of man, without feeling thai 1 .? e common sense is uncmr par in mis age o! humbug. Quack doctors, qu ick lawyers, quack philosophers, and quack American , cii'zens, are intolerable nuisances; but quack patriots are still more disgusting. iV. 0. Bulletin. The trade between England and Texas appears to be growing. Five ships were expected to leave the ports of London and Liverpoot during the ensuing summer for Galveston. The exchange of the rafa material of the one for the manufacturers of the other, will no doubt be mutually profitable, and lead to an extensive traffic. Ibid. ^ Suffering on the Frontiers.?One of the prisoners among the Cumanches, Mrs. Webster, who escaped and came in o San Antonio a few days after the terrible slaughter was twelve days, after leaving the Indians, wandering about before she reached a point of safely. She carried her child the whole time, and gleaned her subsistence from the fruit of the prickly pear, which abounds in these regions. Several times she saw maraudiog bands of the enemy, but contrived to elude them. Ibid. A letter from Garey's Ferry, (E. F.) published in the Army and Navy Chronicle, states that various and repeated trials ha been mado in pursniug the Indians by t bloodhounds, all of which have proved in( fectual. On one occasion the dogs we laid, on, but would not follow up, the trail two warriors w hose rifles, pouches, &c. h; been captured half an hour previous, tl Indians being so hotly pressed as to comp them to relinquish their much valued wen ons. A second instance.4 when two Indiai were slrot near the h?ad of \hapoka Lak the dogs could not be induced to take t! slightest notice. These and others, addt to the trials made at Garey's Ferry, in a tempting to lollow Indian Billy, and evt the negro guide, are evidences sufficient themselves to put an end to all reliance upc them for the service expected from them. Military.?lust as our paper was read for the press, we learned that Brigadit General Taylor had been relieved, at h own request, from the command of tl troops in Florida, and that Brigadier Gener; \V.

The letter from Win. M. Price, dat"d Paris, March 23, and addressed to M Vanderpool and Mr. Curtis, Represent lives in Congress from New York, r quests the aid of those gentlemen in proc ring the appo utment of a committee, wl shall Oe empowered, uuririg ine ensuir recess of Congress, 10 interrogate, mo specially, all persons, and examine all of ces, books, and papers, in any wise co nected with the collection of the rcvent ve in the -southern district of New York, from he the 14th of April, 1834, to the present ?f. time. This request Mr. Price supports oy re saying that whilst the expense attending of such an inquiry would he inconsiderable, id the result might be of great public interest; ie adding, with much significance, that "I' 's r-1 exceedingly important to ascertain all the p. parties implicated in the frauds committed ns in thn: district, ns well for the detec ion of e, those who may hitherto have escaped suspi cion, as for the vindication of any one -d falsely accused of par icipation n tin* wrong done in that depHriment."
