The resolutions adopted at the recent Literary
Congress at Brussels appear to u.s. in most respects
reasonable and judicous They take the ground
that copyright secured in one country ought to
be recognized and respected in all Others and that
the civilized nations Of the globe, as members OF
the great republic of letters ought to adopt uni
form system of copyright laws; and further, that
the author ought to enjoy his copyright during his
life and for fifty years after his death with certain
the particular term of fifty years, We should not
stand upon that and we prefer to the arrangement
proposed by the Congress, the Interpretation
put BY our Courts-or rather BY Judge Story, who
was grest friend Of authOrs-upOn that pro-
vision of our law which SLOWS, after the expira-
ton of the first copyright for twenty-eight years,
if the author his widow, any lineal descendantof
his, be then alive, the renewal Of the copyright for
fourteen years longer. Judge Story decided that
this latter copyright was not aHisnable till it had
actually accrued and commenced to rum de-
ei,ion based on some technical objections of the
law to the sale and transfer Of things non.existng,
but founded also upon q wise regard for the
interests oil aulnOIs 10 WHoiu, Willie tHrI ooOA
wa. vet untried book sller would give no more
for the forty-two than he would for the twenty
eight years. On this ground We should prefer an
original copyright for twenty-five years, and then,
if the author his widow, or any lineai descendant,
or suy brother sister, piece or nephew of bis were
alive, = power of renewal for twenty-five years
onger.
The suggestion of the Congress that the property
of the author in his work ought not to be made
dependent upon q strict an& literal compliance with
the for.uslites required BY the Copyright law, is
ops Of great importance. Our OVID law is, in this
respect, very defective. According to strict and
literal Interpretation ofit-an Interpretation which
has been put upon it BY some Of our Courts-an
exact conformity to sl the requirements Of the
Ccp,rich, law is . condition precedent, in failure
of which the author o. his assignee has no property
in Ria book. Thus the tile might fail through
mere accidental. typographical error IN the Al

The official canvass in Mr.. Haskin's (IXth) Dis
trict is not yet completed. Kembles majority in
Rockland has been officially declared at 493. The
Canvassers in Putnam County adjourned over with
out concluding their labors; but II dispatch from
an intelligent gentleman at Carmel states that the
majority for Kemble will be SIG, making his ma
lority in Rockland and Putnam l,O09, as stated in
yesterday mornings TRIBUNE. The Canvassers IN
Westchester made but little progress yesterday,
but that little added two votes to Mr. Ilaskin s
majority, and developed the fact that the returns
have, in some instances, been tempered with since
passing frem the hands of the Town or District
Canyassers, with view of swinding Mr.. Haskin
out of his certificate of election. Thus far the
conspirators seem to have done their work in a
very bungling and unpromising way. A detailed
statement of the doiDgs of the Canvassers will be
found elsewhere.

We lately published review, copied from The
London Star. of work in the Dutch language, BY
member of the States General of the Netherlands,
giving an account of the atrocities OF slavehodng
in the Dutch colony of Surinam. This review
omits 10 mention the important fact, which
appears to have escaped the attention Of the
writer, that the whole system Of Dutch SlaV-
cry IS therein described has, once the pub
Ecation of the work in question, been brought to
an end By an ordinance of the Ststes-General OF
the Netherlands. The special ordinance regulating
the abolition of Slavery in the Colony of Surnam
we published some FIVE months since. The email
cpaton decreed by that act is not absolute except
in the case of such slaves as may be able to pay
down certain indemnity to their owners, varying
according to their ages, from $3.50 to SO; but
the provisions of the ordinance would seem to be
sbuDdsntly sufficient to guard the negroes against
much of the maltreatment to which they have
hitherto been exposed. The ordinance, IN fact
amounts to transfer of the slaves from the owner
ship and control ofther masters to the superin-
tendence and control of the Government, which
superin.endence is to continue until, by virtue of q
certain fixed deduction from their wages, the Gov
eminent shall be reimbursed the smount which has
been at once advanced to the owners by way OF
indemnity. The slaves thus purchased up by the
Government are to be hired out on certain liked
,tipulstions and under certain regulations to the
planters. two funds to be deducted from their
wages, one to be appropriated as already mentioned
10 indemnify the Government for its advances, the
other to be appropriated to the religious teaching
of the negroes the education OF their children, and
the relief of the sick and aged. In order to bring
the planters to terms, or at least TO provide some
resource for the slaves Of those plantations the
owners of which may decline TO hire laborers on the
terms proposed BY the Government, the ordinance
further provides fox the establishment Of the ne-
sroes not otherwise employed in rural settlements
there TO be occupied in agricultural labor under the
supervision of officers appointed BY the Govern
ment having Is assessors certain elders chosen oy
the nearoes from among themselves. Ine agricu-

II is but s few days since a respectable British
nobleman and member of Parliament arrived IN
this country by the Galway steamer, on his way to
Canada. Hardly had he landed upon the wharf
when every body began specializing az to the mystic
rious causes of his advent OF course so grest q
man could not visit this benighted country without
something great to do and stralghtway It was as
sumed that he had been sent out to arrange grand
confederation of the North-American Provinces.
We do not believe that there is one word OF truth
in this notion, for the following simple reasons:
/. Because seven or eight delegates from the dit-
ferent Colonial Governments are at this moment IN
England drawn thither to consult with her elal
esty's Ministers on matters OF inter-coonlal inter-
est, and poor compliment would be paid to those
gentlemen if the scene Of such negotiation about
anything of importance were suddenly transferred
to the Provinces
2. Because the Colonial Governors and nobody
lees keenly than the GovernorGenera, would
deeply resent such an intrusion.
3. Because all communications on questions OF
Colsnia interest 90 through the official channel in
Downing street, aud the Secretary Of State could
not dvest himself of his responsibility, or dele
gate his powers to another.
4. Because confederation Of the Provinces
cannot be negotiated by any noble lord in any such
irregular manner. The measure must be submit
ted in due form, by the Crown to the Colonial
Psriaments, there to be discussed, and either ac-
cepted or rejected; or it must originate in those
assemblies, and, being matured, must then be pre-
scented for the sanction Of the Queen.
Until Lord Bury shows his credentials, it will be
better not to believe in his being charged with any
such mission.

equitable rule which should govern these cases, ana
which ought 70 be embodied INTO the Copyright

There is another great detec: in our Copyright
law. l. is entirely uncertain whether the original
copyright covers also alterations made n new
eiitions--in many cases dictionaries snd books OF
reference, for nstance-a question ofgreat import
ance; or whether !. is necessary to take out new
copyright in order TO cover these alterations. Then
again arise, the new question whether the new
copyright and the announcement Of il on the title
page will cover the old matter So well IS the new.
The proprietors of Webster's Dictionary, 10 make
all sure, have taken out new copyrights for every
improved edition Of that great work. and haze IN
serted on the back of the title page both the orig
inal copyright and all the subsequent ones; but we
do not know another instance Of this precaution.
The law on this subject ought TO be made precise,
clear and simple. We BEG leave TO call the atten-
ton of iembers Of Congress OF Ia parties to these
important obscurities in our existing law. We
ash, at this moment, not so much for any new con.
cessions to authors that they should be distinctly
informed wha. their rights are, and not turned over
TO a lawsuit. We hope there is good nature and
coed feeling and respect enough for literature in
Congress 10 make the members forget, for mo-
neut, their party wranslings, and resolve them
selves into Committee on the Republic of Letters
long enough, at least, TO amend the Copyright law.
