RIM IN VERMONT,

The sdversaries of Liquor Prohibition en-
joyed every advantage in the late struggle in
Vermont. Thousands Of the voters had never
seen the act, and were made to believe it OBJ.
noxious by the grossest misrepresentation of
its provisions. Every artifce was employed,
every sinew strained, to gain votes, not against
the principle and object Of the bill, but against
this or that detail, real or pretended All did
not avail-Rum pooled its last vote, and was
handsomely beaten.
Yet its votaries have ray of consolation.
They have been scanning the vote By torns,
and they find that only One Hundred and Nine
towns gave majorities for the law, while One
Hundred and T,renty went against it, SO they
boast that they can repeal the act next Fall,
in spite Of the Peoples Verdict, if all their
100 towns will but elect Rum Members.
Not so fast, gentlemen Rotten Boroughs
cannot save you. In order to repeal the law,
you will need a majority in The Senate, and that
represents not barren rocks but PEOPLE You
are in check, and may as well give il up

BA paragraph in relation to Col Sam.
Medary Of Ohio, made its appearance in a
Washington letter in The Tribune of yester-
day, with regard TO which We have TO say that
though vouched for by a member Of the Dem
Oaatic party we do not believe it to be true.
We do not profess to count ourselves among
the admirers of Col. Medary, but we hold him
to be a man Of too much sense and prudence
to attempt any such political speculation as
that attributed to him by our correspondent.

never been bern, we hold il morally certain
that the Steamboat would ere this been in eI-
istence The general progress Of Science and
Mechanics had rendered that CONTAMINATION
inevitable during some part Of the last hall
century. But without Milton there would have
been no Paradise Lost, without Shakespeare
no Hamlet, without Byron no Chide Harold
at least none such as we now have. In writing
these, their authors did not narrow, they "a
Their widened, the arena of exertion and achieve
ment open before their successors. They did
not discover, they created.
When, therefore, an adversary Of Iaterna-
tional Copyright urges that we concede the
question Of abstract Right by offering to accept
something less than perpetual and universal
protection to Authors, we answer, Then all
Rights of Property are invalidated, for not one
is held as absolute and indefeasible. Usury
laws, anti Gambling laws Maine Liquor laws,
laws regulating requests and Inheritance, laws
affecting the property rights of Aliens, Fire
Limits. Taxation, Attainder, and innumerable
others, all restrict a mans use of bis property,
and often affect bis right (or claim to it.
Copyright laws create no rights, but limit
and define those already existing. Had none
ever been passed, an authors cOmmon-law
right to his own productions would have been
indefeasible. We do not dispute the power Of
States to limit and retrench this right along
with others; but we insist that it should first
be clearly recognized as right before it is SUBJ
ected to all manner Of curtailment.
- But, granting the right, is it not wrong to
establish it by Treaty. Perhaps as it was
wrong to enact a special Copyright law instead
of allowing Authors, like other producers, to
defend their property at common law. If We
had present choice between an international
Copyright law and international Copyright by
treaty, we should prefer the former, just as we
should prefer cOmmon-law protection to either.
But as things are, We shall thankfully accept
whatever approximation TO or installment Of
justice we can get.

unreasonable and pemicious exactions of ex-
