Of these volcanoes, over which Nature
has hitherto thrown veil.

On Friday the election tor the city OF
Carlisle commenced in that city at
eleven O'clock. Tic candidates were
Mr.. Curwen, Sir ]. Graham, and Mr..
James.
On Wednesday morning, both Mr..
Curwen and Sir James Graham received
an anonymous letter by the post, threa-
tening them with assassination, couched
in the following terms
Sir--Prepare for DEATH. am not
a cowardly assassin to take you with all
your imperfections on your head; but
die you must. My life's of no value to
me, but it shall be of service to my
country. IN Admirer Of LouUei, the
deiiUerer Of France. Carlisle, March
g."
And between that time and Thursday
night, such demonstrations were made
by the radical fraternity, as indicated
any thing rather than peace and good
order. We are told that a circular was
sent to the weaving shops, desiring the
workmen to be in readiness on Friday
morning, to give the monsters" Sir
James and Mr.. Curwen, a proper re-
ception. These, and other indications,
induced each candidate to cause the
swearing of "a considerable number of
special consables; and the mayor, just
ly experimenting tumult, ordered into
the suburb Of the city, the two troops OF
cavalry which had been previously sent
away in compliance with the statute !:
the law, however, sanctions the presence
of the military, if found necessary; for
under mob law, the freedom of election
is out of the question.

The recent change in the government
of Spain may have very important Ell
feet on the negotiation which is pending
between the United States and that ma
ton. Hitherto the king of Spain, as
sovereign, claimed the sole right to
make treaties and to dispose of and
transfer at his pleasure any part that he
considered as his territory. But, in their
constitution now adopted as the Supreme
law of Spain, we find the following i'm
portant principles and provisions
"The Spanish nation is free and in
dependent, and neither is nor can be the
patrimony of any family or person
whatever.
The Sovereignty resides essentially in
the nation.
The king shall not ALLEVIATE, grant, or
exchange any province, city, borough,
OF any portion of the Spanish territory,
however small its extent may be.
He shall not transfer or ALLEVIATE the
| n at;onal nronertu without the consent Of
