THE BAD PEOPLE AT WAsIINGToN.-In a

shrewd old man accounted as follows fol

national Capital lie said:
" ! have long been intimately acquainted
with the people of this District, and now
say what have said hundred times before,
that do not believe there is a better, more
moral, or more correct people in the world
than the resident population Of Washington.
The disgrace that has been attempted TO be
cast upon this people, arises altogether from,
the infur Of bad people from all parts Of the
country 'rho are too apt 10 assemble al IpQshins-
t0n."
The people who arc in the habit of assem-
bling at Washington from all parts of the
country, are Grizzly democratic leaders seek.
ing Offices. The description given by Mr..
Buchanan includes himself and his partic
uar admirers. Some people may be found to
agree with the Plesideut that an influx of
such people is enough to corrupt worse
place than Washington Baltimore Clipper.

Tho American party of Mary land,
outside of Baltimore, are feioiccd to
learn that Hon. Thomas Swami, the pres
cnt Mayor Of that city, has consented to
be Il candidate for recollection, if the par
ty desires it. lie has shown himself, in
trying times, to be the man for any
emergency and under his authority,
in the face of the dcfama tions of locofo-
co prints, who arc fed by the hands of
those they would ruin, we assert our be-
lief that Baltimore is better governed
than any other Of the large cities i'll this
Union. And any one who wishes to be
convinced that life and property arc more
secure there than in the other great cities,
has but to keep u careful eye on the re-
cords Of crime in each of them. In the
same state with Baltimore; taking its
daily papers, which gather up with a
particularly elsewhere unknown, every
fight, scuifie and debauch, many of our
people, not having equal information
from other cities have been half inclined
to believe the assertions made by the
Baltimore locofoco papers, (open and
coyert,) for political effect but even
with all this, that city has, under the
efficient rule of Mr.. Swami, silenced the
scandalous clamor raised against it by
men who are fed by its citizens.

a NEW EDITOR AMONG Us.-Not
least in Importance, among the many inn
portant things of political note in these
times occurring, is the appearance in
Baltimore of Col. l.. A. Whitclcy, late
of the Louisville Journal, to take editor
ial charge of the Baltimore Clipper.
We congratulate the people of Balti-
more on this able accession to her editor
ial corps. Widely known in the West
as powerful writer and an able advocate
of the American party, he will soon
make himself felt in that city as u com
potent defender of that party against the
onslaughts of neutral, independent and
Argus locofocoism. The ring of the
true steel may already be disccrned in
the columns of The Clipper and when the
campaign commences VIC expect to see the
flashing of the blade, up and down, right
and left, as it deals destruction to the
prctensions, the errors and the outrages
Of the modern democracy.

New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1858-01-27

The subject of International Copyright is once
more brought prominently before the public by two
independent measures-a bin submitted by Mr.. f.
Joy Morris to the House, intended to secure par
tial compensation to Foreign Authors whose works
may be reprinted in this country and the draft of
treaty which Lord Napier is understood to have
laid before Gen. Case, having the same object. 1t
is highly probable that some action will be taken on
one or both Of these propositions.
We have never been able TO see why our laws
should protect the rights of foreign Inventor, yet
ignore those of foreign Author. Was not Lord
Byron as truly the creator of Childe Harold as
James Watt was of the Steam Enginel And if to
