Ld6our is honorable. The following
paragraph, extracted from the Message
lof Governor DAVIS TO the Legislature
of this State, is highly creditable TO its
author. Ii is the tendency of slavery
TO make labor disgracful and servile,
but OF liberty to make it useful and ho~
norable.--Bost. Trac.
"Whle we continue 10 respect labor

which has arrived at New York from Ca.
dir. having sailed on the 9Th February,

These letters state that there will DO no
convocation Of the Cortez, as known in
1921 and 1922, which was composed Of
one body: but thata Representative Co

chambers The upper. or higher branch,
will be composed Of two third, from the
higher nobility, and one third from tue
higher clergy. The lower House will con.

towns, and villages.
The Queen had met tho council OF new
ministers repeatedly. and had been treat
ed with the utmost cordially. The Press
in Spain was still under censorship, and

these articles il appears thas those jour
mails, so long devoted TO M Zei's admins
tration, begin 20 trim their articles TO ac-
cord with the change, aud speak firmly Of
q representative Government.
