The INTERNATIONAL C0PYN0HT. fRsArY-WHAr
rs THE MArTER?1We ventur. cd to congratulate
our readers. few days iince. on the prospect
Of speedy ratification Of the important treaty
made between Mes1rs. Webster and Champion
on behalf Of their respective governments, for
the reciprocal protection Of the works of Eng
lifh and American authors on either side of the
Atlantic; and we ventured to anticipate the
immediate conclusion and ratification of this
literary treaty by the Senate of the United
States, not having any idea that any unneces-
sary impediments or obstacles would be volunta-
rily thrown in the way by those whose official
duty it is to forward it to completion.
But in this we have somewhat erred delays
and distractions, it would seem. have been cast
in the way, and prevented, up to the present
time. the ratification Of the treaty. 1t has not yet
received the signatures of the two contracting
parties to it, and consequently it has not been re-
referred to the consideration of the Senate, with
out whose sanction and concurrence it cannot of
course, become law. We are puzzled to find out
where lies the fault and what be the interests
which are thus powerful to intercept and delay
the ratification of q treaty which is so perempto-
rily demanded by the necessities of the age |;
which the greatest intellects in England and
America have recognized as fair, just and requi-
site, as between nation and nation, and which
is sanctioned by the universal sentiment of the
American people
Is the delay attributable to the neglect of
the British Minister? Is it Mr.. Champion who
has hitherto declined to place his signature to
the treaty! We hope that Mr.. Champion has
too high sense of the obedience he owes to his
government. and of the respect due to the mani
fest desires ofthe reading English people, to per-
NIT any negligence of his to interfere with the
consummation of matter of so much interest
and Importance; and if he negotiated the
treaty with Mr.. Webster, why does he hesitate?-
why don't he complete his part of the business
Or is it with Mr. Everett or the President that
this delay originates? Is it to their opposing
national treaty is owing? 1t is to be hoped
that they will not be influenced by unofficial
outside persons, and be unwilling to aid and
assist in forwarding measure which will be so
beneficial in its results.
We would seriously and definitely ask the
reason why the completion Of this treaty has
been thus retarded? Why the signatures of the
contracting parties have not been appended to
it, while il has been sanctioned by the cabinets
and why such length Of time has been need
lessly permitted to elapse without this doom
ment having been submitted for the considera-
ton and ratification Of the Senate al Wash
ingtOn!
To all these questions we respectfully pause
for q reply"

venticns at Worcester and Syracuse, now
come forward in the Empire City, to enlightenits
denizens upon the subject Of temperance. 1t is
singular what an affinity there is between all
the isms-abolitionism, freesoilism, agrarian-
! ism. animal magnetism, socialism, spiritualism

This is the first time that these strong-minded

surprised if they hold their next convention in
the Empire City.
We think the women are perfectly right in
insisting upon their husbands being temperate,
but we are not aware that the ladies in ques-
ton have any husbands at all. Some few Of
them. perhaps, have for spouses old women in
brooches; but, as general rule, it will be found
that they have either not yet caught victim,
or have discarded their "worse half' as un-
suitable to their tastes, according to the APP
proved doctrines Of Fourierisn. Ladies Of this
class have, for the most part desperate enml-
ty against the masculine gender in general, and
denouncc their injustice. cruelty and despot-

We think every young lady has right to o

TIE electoral votes being equal between Jefferson

balloting continued until Tuesday, 18th February,
when, on the thrty-sixth ballot, Thomas jefferson

members Of the Slave Court at Havana have
thrown on al disguise, and, preterring the
cynicism of the confessed villain to the dssimila-
ton Of the secret knave, have rendered il almost
impossible for their English colleagues to sit
on the same bench with them. Under snch
auspices, it will fall to the lot of Lord Claren-
don to regulate the future relations of Great
Britain with Spain. That he will recede from
the position assumed by his predecessors, no one
who knows him will expect; on the contrary, his
antecedents afford ample grounds for believing
that he will not only crush the recent attempt
to revive the slave trade in Brazil, but that
he will efectually eradicate it from Cuba,
even though the operation were to cost Spain
the possession of the island Not many days
will elapse before the conduct Of Canedo, the
corruption of his subordinates, and the wrongs
of Mr.. Boylan are proclaimed with fit comment
in the British House of Commons; and with
Guilty and expense Of suppressing the traffic by
force, and of the utter faithlessness Of Spa
niards, it may occur to more than one enlight-
ened senator that the earliest, speediest, and
most economical mode Of realizing the cherished
project of Great Britain, would be to bring
about the separation of Cuba from Spain, and its
admission into the American Union.
Oflcss immediate, though not less contingent
interest, will be Great Britain's policy towards
France. Though the great organs of public
opinion have ceased to pour stream of
vituperation on the head of the Emperor, the
dread of his ambition has not been dispelled
and there are many who see in his marriage
latent seeds Of personal ambition which may
not improbably lead to rupture with one of
the European powers We are inclined to ac-
cept the pledge given by Louis Napoleon, in the
words, d'Empire c'est la pair, as sincere. But
whether the French army can be preserved from
sedition without foreign war; is a question
which time alone can answer. Meanwhile,
Lord Palmerston win prosecute the enrolment
of the citizens into an able militia, with vigor,
and the Foreign Secretary win doubtless do
his best to avert the terrible calamity Of war
| with France. Circumstances are favorable
not pretext for quarrel is on the tapis !:
with the least possible management it would
seem that the most friendly relations might he
maintained. We sincerely hope they may.
