To the Editor Of the Press: -...5 ..
Allow me to ask, through the medium of
your columns, whether the Union men of the
North have not at this time duty to perform
by holding meetings of the people and en-
dorsing the action Of Congress in its policy of
reconstruction, and protesting against the
Presidents construction of it's powers in re-
gard to legislation concerning the late rebel
States? Ordinarily such action by the peo-
pie in regard to the doings of Congress is un-
called for, but in view of the recent stand
taken by the President, his gross insult to the
patriotic feeling of the loyal States, in his re-
cent speech in Washington and the instant
endorsement by the disloyal element of the
whole country, of his foul charges against
Representatives of the people, trusted and be-
loved by all loyal men, it seems eminently
proper that the true Union men in Congress
should have an outspoken endorsement by
their constituents of their faithful efforts to
secure beyond chance of failure, the fruits of
the expenditure Of the nations best blood
during four years of war. Let them feel that
they are not fighting alone the closing battles
of the great struggle for Human Rights, but
as in the days just passed, when bullets were
words, and swords were arguments, that the
stern will of the whole loyal people upholds
them, and will be satisfied with nothing short
of full security for the future Will not the
Union men of Portland take action IN this
uoattar9 N

An international Copyright Law.

The conductors of the Bound Table have
undertaken the task of bringing before the
present session of Congress the subject of an
International copyright law between the Uni
tel States and Great Britain. In the hope OF
securing prompt and vigorous action iu this
matter they have circulated petition among
the leading publishers and authors, to which
they request all who are interested in Ameri
can letters to append their signatures. The
justice and the necessity of such a law are adj
mitted by all; and we hope the enterprising
gentlemen who have taken the matter in
hand viii not let it rest until they have So far
overcome the vis inertie of Congress as 70 60
cure some suitable action in relation to tbe
subjects. The following is a copy of the ne
tition to Congress:
We, the undersigned, citizens Of the United
States, do most respectfully represent to your
honorable bodies that the true interests of
American literature demand the adoption of
an international Copyright Law by this gov
eminent and that of Great Britain, and do
pray that you will enact such measure or
measures as will secure at the earliest possible
day the consideration of such law by the
two governments herein mentioned. And
your petitioners will ever pray, etc.

Mrs. Harper at Pennington.


To the Editor of the Press:
Mrs. Harper, who so much interested your
citizens in Portland, lectured before our Ly-
ceum on Thursday evening, and left an ex-
ceedinsly favorable impression of her ability
as speaker, and of her familiarity with the
great questions of the time, affecting alike the
people OF her race and the destinies of the ma
ton. Ifshe was severe upon individuals and
parties who are more ready to defend and be-
friend the red-handed traitors lately,-aye, and
stiH,-in rebellion, than to protect the Union
men Ofwhatever color, now at the mercy of
the would be-reconstrncted traitors-it may
be explained in part, by the fact that after she
was on her way to the lecture there was put
in her hands daily paper containing the
Presidents veto of the Freedman's Bureau
Bill, which served as torch to her eloquence,
firing it with new intensity of earnest remon-
STRANGE, telling argument, and burning sar-
casm. 1t proved to her audience, moreover,
the falsity of the slanderous charge that her
lectures are prepared for her.
This lecture is regarded by our citizens as
one of the very best of our course; and we can
not forbear to advise other lecture committees
to do likewise. w.
The Portland daily press., 1866-02-27
English Knowlodge of America.

The surprising ignorance of American affairs,
not only on matters of current interest, but of
geographical and statistical information, which
has been manifested in the most learned En-
glish circles, has been, before now, thu occasion
of much comment 1t seems that there is a
prospect of light in some dark places. The
London Times says:
sThe Vice Chancellor of the University of
Cambridge has informed the Senate that Henry
Yates Thompson, M. A., late scholar of Trinity
College, has offered to endow lectureship for
the purpose of having delivered at Cambridge
during one term biennially acourse of lectures
on the history and literature ofthe UnitedStates
of America Mr.. Thompson proposes that the
lectureship should be founded at Harvard Col
lege Cambridge U. s.; that the lecturer should
be appointed biennially by the President and
Fellows of Harvard College Subject to the
veto in case of the Vice-Chancellor) and that
shis sole qualification should be American cti-
zenship and the opinion of his appointers that
he is a fit person to deliver such course of
lectures If the lectureship is ultimately ac-
cepted, Mr. Thompson thinks that the endow-
ment deed should contain clause giving to Ell
Their University the power at any time, of its
own free will, to put an end to the lectureship
and providing that in such case the endowment
should revert to the donor or his representa-
tives. But Mr.. Thompson suggests that, be-
fore the offer is accepted, or deed of endow-
menu Is Drawn, tne preliminary TRIAL OF the
scheme should be made. The Vice Chancellor
invites the attendance of members of the SEN
ate ON Saturday, for the discussion of the above
mentioned subject. Somemembers seem afraid
to accept Mr.. Thompson's liberal offer lest the
lecture should be merely republican declama-
tions, and others fail to see that it will be of
any benefit to Cambridge"
BY way, probably, of reassuring those timid
souls who are afraid of the influence of "re-
publican declarations" the Times proceeds to
remark that "those who have any knowledge
of Harvard College, which contains probably
the ostpolished society in America-certainly
the cream of the men distinguished in science
or literature in the United States-will not be
likely to feel any such fears. The authorities
of Harvard College are certain, for their own
sakes, to send lecturer who will represent
them we'll, and the interchange of ideas with
such man resident here could not fail to be
benefit, even if we had nothing to learn about
the history, literature, or institutions Of his
country"
