Judge Robertson's Letter.

We present our readers to-day with the first
part of the letter Of Judge Robertson, of Ken
lucky, TO tho editors of the National Intelh-
geneer. TO say that it is an able production
would be but faint praise. II is the emanation
Of great mind, and truly American heart.
It is the production of an enlightened patriot,
of great constitutional jurist, who has i'm
bibed the true spirit Of that instrument, witch
binds together the. different States, ara makes
them one as nation, Will. It preserves the
local Independents Of each, and which unites
the people Of all in the bands Of 4 national
fraternity.
lis views of the constitution are those of
Marshall, Kent Story, and Webster, as ex-
pounded by the latter in his celebrated speech
N reply TO Mr.. Hayne; and in that, also, at a
later day, in reply to Mr.. Cslhoun's exposition
OF his notification doctrines.

Mr.. Botcier and Mr.. Misunderstanding the

had to battle alone in his district with number Of
Locofoco orators, the Hon. VIM. 7. Hamilton, OF

were moving heaven and earth to defeat him. Mr..
u. was defeated by two hundred in district which
gave Pierce about 100. We are told that
shortly after Mr.. Hamtons nomination in Mary
land, Colonel Botcler informed him that he de-
signed returning the compliment he conferred on
him last spring. And he nobly fulfilled his prom
ise. The speeches he delivered in Hamilton's dis
trict were pronounced the ablest delivered during
the canvass Mr. Hamilton was defeated by about
1000 majority against him in district largely
Democratic. If Mr. Boteler should be a caildi-
date again, Mr.. Hamilton win be little cautious
about rendering his assistance TO defeat him. Well
he will.

Says the Fort Desmoines Statesman: "Some
seven years ago P. NJ. Cassidy was postmaster at
this place, dnd kept the post Office in his hat,
which was amply sufficient at that time. But how
is it now? The post office employs two clerks be.
sides the postmaster, and the mails received would
average at least two tons a week." The Fort
Dodge mail route is horseback contract, once a

This is only another evidence of the rapid increase
Of Central Iowa in general, and Fort Desmoines in
particular.

CoPYRIGHr YoR THE ARTS OF DEsIes.--We learn
from the Philadelphia Times that an effort making
among several parties engaged in the arts Of design,
as applied to wallpaper, and other branches of
manufactures, to procure the extension Of copy
right protection to inventors Of designs for such
purposes. The present law Of copyright, SO far as
il relates to the arts, embraces only pictures stat
uary, engraving, maps, charts, and musical COM
positions.
II is well known to those familiar with our man
ufactures, that the art of designing is carried on
extensively in the United States-and especially
In Philadelphia notwithstanding that our copy
right law affords no protection whatever to artists
and that the most beautiful and valuable design may
be appropriated and initiated by any manufacturer,
the moment il appears. This fact greatly discour-
ages competition in this useful and important branch
of art, and Is manifest injustice to those talented
designers who may be disposed to furnish our man
ufacturers with choice and original patterns. The
manufacturer, Of course, has no inducement or se-
curity in purchasing new designs from the artist
as he cannot retain a property in them beyond the
FIRST hour Of their appearance, and Is, therefore,
tempted to forego the production Of anything orig
inal, and join the general scramble and rush for
designs from abroad, or wherever they can be pick
ed up-without costing anything This is a state
Of things dishonorable TO our national legislature,
and which must necessarily exert depressing in
6uence upon artists and the cause Of art.
