has been that men who would have reflected
honor on thcA country. had hey devoted them
selves to literary pursuits. have been compelled
to fritter away their genius in the routine Of
trade. Again-the want Of that protection
which the government has literally awarded to
every branch OF material industry, has been q
sad obstacle to the growth of national
literature. Cheap editions Of English works
have been widely circalalated through
the country; and thousands who could not af-
ford to purchase our own authors, have modelled
their minds on the writings of foreigners.
The practical result of the absence of an
international copywright has been to impose
prohbitory tax on American authors, for the
benefit oftheir Englishrivals; and whilst we have
been successfully struggling might and main to
urspass the rest Of the world in trade, science,
material progress, we have really done all we
could to keep ourselves far behind our neigh
bors in the highest of intellectual pursuits. To
the Senators does it belong, now, to give the
finishing blow. In this state of things, they will
not shrink we are sure, from their duty. Theirs
will be no small share Of the honor of removing
the milestone from the neck Of American litera-
ture-theirs the pride Of redeeming the reputa-
ton of their country. In after years, when,
perchance, American authors will stand as
high in England as English authors do here, the
historian Of literature will point to the year
1853 as thereal date at which the English Ian
guage. began to be written with more purity and
more force on this than on the other side ofthe
Atlantic, and in commemorating the suspicious
event, will pass well merited eulogy on each
individual who, by his voice or his vote, contri-
buted to confer this boon on his native land.
At that distant period the ephemeral reputa-
tons built on passing events Of to-day will have
vanished compromises, Cuban annexation, the
Monroe doctrine, internal improvements, may
all be forgotten, with those who fought on
either side. But no one who took an active
part in support of the international copyright
law need fear oblivion-he will be remembered
SO long as these United States possess a Ian
guage and literature. Never was seat in
the Senate more truly enviable

EMIGRATION TO CALlsoRAiA-While the Eng
fish papers are tecming with accounts OF the
vast flood Of emigration pouring out Of their
ports to the regions Of Australia, we permit to
pass with little comment a similar state Of
things here, in regard to our own gold regions.
And yet the emigration constantly going on
from this port to California, is hardly less than
that which excites such attention in Great
Britain To he sure the mania which prevailed
for the first year or two after the discovery OF
the gold mines has in great degree subsidized,
but 1t has given place to an equally active,
though more healthy and systematic affection
What the gold fever originated, trade and com
merce have strengthened and sustained so
that still the tide flows on uninterrupted, aud
undimnshed in volume, binding in a closer and
frmer union the interests of the Pacific and At
lantic States.
The vast emigration tending from this point to
California may be appreciated by CHANGING at
the lists of passengers-given in another CO.
lumn-carried out by the three steamships
which left this port on Saturday. for the 18TH
mus. We have added up the numbers, and find
the totals as follows
Passengers by the United States TO Asplnwall. 643
BY the Star OF the West, to San Juan 528
By the Georgia, to Aspinwall. 966
Total. .2,os7
But it is not by the numbers of passengers
alone that the commercial and other relations
existing between California and the Atlantic
States can be estimated. Wehave another, and
perhaps better, criterion to judge by, in the
cfotic ctr nffh a b,c fho OF
letters carried out by the regular mail steamer,
the Georgia, on Saturday, was no less than 5O,-
400, and the number Of newspapers IS 24S. This
immense mail required 1T bags to contain it;
and we would be perhaps under the mark In es-
timating the number of letters in the hands of
passengers at 10000.
When it is recollected that this departure Of
passengers and mails takes place twice month,
and that the figures we have cited may be taken
as the average fortnightly data. then the inn
merse emigration constantly flowing from hence
to the shores of the Pacific. and the extensive
business relations existing between these two
points of the Union may be estimated. And
while we do not anticipate any diminution in the
former, the latter will. of course, be from month
to month, increasing in direct arithmetical pro
erosion. until, before its mighty proportions our
trade with Europe will sink into insigniacance'
Similar facts indicate like results as between
England and Australia; so that within very
brief space. those regions which. o few years
since. did not contain half o million of inhabi
tants. will have become the points to which half
the commerce Of the globe will be directed.
Miracles have not yet ceased!

that hour the tide Of fortune ebhed, till it left
his bark at last . stranded wreck.
This was great error; but it arose from s.n-
on the people, and an imitation Of thu customs
and usages of the imperial dynasties around
him. instead of depending ON the immense
resources within himself He wanted to
have q successor to his throne, of roy
al blood. In this he was disappointed by
the DEGREES Of Providence. for the Duke de
Reichstadt. the son of that marriage, baptized
ed in his youth. and had he lived. would have
been miserable imbecile; while in the person
of Louis Napoleon the son of Napoleon the
Greats brother. and grandson of that very
plebeian Josephine. is the dynasty Of Napoleon
revived. 1t seems a singular rebuke to the
Corsican both for his injustice to his first wife
and his abandonment of the people. and ut the
same time retributioD of Heaven, which,
moving in mysterious way its wonders to
perform extinguishes the royal line, and raises
to the throne the despised and rejected plebeian
blood. Warned by the errors Of the first EN-
peror, the second seems determined to pursue
wiser and safer course and to avoid the rocks
and quicksands upon which the prisoner of st.
Helena was shipwrecked.
The first marriage Of the elder Bonaparte was
marriage of affection. before he attained to
power, but dissolved after he became dazzled
with his own schemes Of grandeur, and was led
astray by the corrupting influence of Aatterers,
who impressed him with the necessity of a
direct issue. (for he had no children by jose
phine,) and also the advantage Of royal Off
spring. in order to the success of his dynasty;
Louis Napoleon, in the midst Of his greatness
and power, and also with view to the per-
petuation of his dynasty, marries the grand
daughter of Scotchman named kirkpatrick,
formerly United States Consul at Malaga, and
daughter it is said Of Spanish Count, De Teba-
or, as the Paris .Monitet,r has it, granddaughter
of the British Consul at Malaga and her mother
an Irish lady named Fitzpatrick. One thing
only seems to be certain, and that is that
her father was Spaniard; and the doubt
about her mother is, of itself, proof of her pie
beian origin, at least in part. But whether she
is of Scotch or Irish extraction it is evident that
the Emperor has departed from the fatal track
of his uncle. and has allied himself not with
kings or potentates, but with the people. FSte

THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW AND THE WASH
INGToN UNIoN-We make room, this morning.
on the broad principle of fair play all round,
for three articles on the troubles Of the harmo
NOUS democracy, concerning the tilibustering
doctrines of the Democratic Repie,c. The first
is the merciess reply of the old Washington
Union to the recent excoriaton given it by
the Rerisp the second is the commentary
upon both by the Washington Republic; and
the third is the letter Of Mr.. George N. Sanders,
response to the attack of the Washington
Union. 1t is "a very pretty quarrel as it
stands" and it would be pity to spoil it. 1t
will be observed, however, that Young Ame-
rica'' is sanguine of bringing the "old fogies"
up to the scratch of the progressive ideas of the
age, and that the terrible work Of scoring them
into it is not to be abandoned. This is assum-
ing the labors of Hercules; but Sanders has a
broad pair of shoulders big head, and the
constitution of backwoodsman. and has fat
tened thus far upon the sport of extirpating the
''old fogies" Like Hotspur, he can finish a
dozen or so before breakfast, and think nothing
of it. How this Kilkenny fight will finally ter
inmate is another question:; but from all the
aspects of the political horoscope at this time,
s.Young America" has and will have the best of
the battle. But if such things are done in the
green tree, what may we not expect in the
