[The N. Y. Statesuian says the removal of
Mr. Clinton, has produced a strong (-'XCllC-
ment in the city, and is disapprovizd ofby the
liberal portion of all parties. M r. Clrntoii has
been Cornniissioner for 14 years, and has nev-
er received nor requirctl a single cent of com~
pensation. The removal grew out of a cori-
troversy between the advocates aird 0))p()l‘lC‘l'lt$
ofa caucus. The foruier believing ill!!! the
latter were actuated by frieiidly views to Mr.
committee of the whole. It was reported to
the Senate witlrout aineiiduient. Mr. Mills
stated seine difiicultics which he tho’t would
attend the passage of this bill. Mr. Lowrie
said, he had been iiidriced to inirorlirce the
bill by the remarks of Mr. Peale in relarirrii to
his Portrait of \Vashingioir—hc was applied
to for the purclrase of the ptriiitirig; but said
he \'~'0uld be unwilling to sellit, if he could not
have the same privilege of profiting by his
ii-ork, as writers of books, have in tli'eirs. l‘-In
L- did Hot know why he slrould not lrave that ‘
privilege. Mr. Mills replied, that had such an
act as t.liis been in existence before Mr. Peale
executed his painting, he could not have coin-
pleted it ;as Stuart liad previously executed 2!
Portrait of Wirsliiiititori, from wliich this of
Mr. Pcale’s was butia copy with soiric little
turrbellisliirieiit. He thought such air act of
Corrgress would have a teritleiicy to retard the
progress of the Art of Paiutiii;;—-as it would
do away the right of iuiilating anti atteiirpting
to excel, paintings already in existence.
Messrs. Latitiraii,‘ Holuies, of Maine, Low-.
rie, and Talbot, made some remarks on the
subject, Mr‘. Lowrie observed, that the argu-I
merits ofthc genileuian from :\‘lass.(Mr. Mills)’
)\‘O|)ill apply eqtially to all the patent laws, as
it was equally as iirrpropcr to give eX('.lusive
privileges to inventors of niachiiies, &'.c. as to
authors of paintings. 'I‘lie bill was reported
to the Senate, and it was refused a 3d reading.
