spanish Morals.

Immediately after marriage, the Spanish
belle must have, as a matter Of course, her
coyttjo, or lover, who is usuallya priest OF
monk, and has, in general, a very strong hold
upon ber affections; her husband, compared
with this lover, is person Of very secondary
consideration. The cortejo attends upon hel
on all occasions, in private and in public, IL
health and in sickness. When she sits a
home he is at her side; when she walks out
his arm supports her; and when she joins
n the dance he must be her partner. The
fidelity and constsncy Of the Spanish lady
are tested by her conduct to her coterjo. This
system OF laxity is so general in Spain, that
there Is scarcely lady Of rank or respecta-
bility. who bas not her domestic lover. How
we oDghi ~ cling 70 those pure-minded and
f,fr creatures, who have no other coterjo than
az man they accompany % the altar.

rhe presidential Cnmpaign.

Our New York correspondent has given us this week sketch ofthe men9uvreS of tine whig party m the north, by which they hope to humbug the South into the support of the nomination of Genl Scott for the candidate for President. We have from time to time cautioned the wings of tbe south to beware of the trlckery of their northern allies, who are sold, body and soul, 10 the Seward abolition party. They perhaps will not believe us until too late, when they find themselves in- veigled into the nomination of ''wooly head" (abotion) candidate.
 II wever we do not think that any arrangement of the Seward and Fillmore party will bring tbem success. the democracy throughout all the country are turning out in their strength, even in the most violent free soil States, abandoning al com munion with the anti slavery faction, they are proclaiming their allegiance only to the universal and eternal principles which form the creed of the national democratic party, those principles winch are the corner stone of our republic, which have given to inc union its strength, Its beauty, its power and glory. Upon this ground the democrats of the South can meet in fuli fellowship with those of the North anAif no miSstep is made by the leaders of the party in the next national con vefl,on the country will soon be rid of the present corrupt, G4iptin administration and the govern ment be restored to the direction ot sound and pure democracy.
 The great difficulty appears now to be ia the selection of a standard bearer, under whose gui- dance we may march on to victory There are in our ranks many good and true men. skled in statesmanship and universally admted. any one of whom would be acceptable to the people,
 We are confident that no free sotl candidate will be selected, bat It IS time that our southern democracy were begining to stir themselves to se- eet some suitable and trust worthy delegates 10 attend the national convention, the South should be fully represented, in order that we may move on in sola phalanx " one and indivisiblc." The whigs have long been at work, preparing Gt.eir swaes" and :" mines and "disguises' they are .wsre that the abuses of the present adninistra- ton have Sc. the mass Of honest ci,izenS against them, and they will leave no trick untrled by which they may hope to succeed, but unity, harmony and ind Istry arc all that will be required on our part to elect democratic presid4n' but to easare tbis and secure the hearty co uptfation Of south ern democracy, the choice uf ths national conyea. ton must Ae man entirely free rom any tsinl Of Preesoil,sm, one whose past eoarse will be 10 us guarantee that under bis management he rights and peculiar interests of the soalh will be aarno- tested.

Until tie receipt Of your note was totally unaware that any such charges had been iHsinuatedi and heard that u was SD with great pain.
 When it was proposed that you should aceom pany Capt. Walker, as clerk, advised you to accept the offer, because thought fl would be the extreme of folly logger to remain as common soHier, exposed 10 the hardshipS ol a camp, when you could remain in the service, and avold the thousand annoyances and restrictions to which one in the ranks is inevitably exposed. knew, also, that there existed, between you and some Of your fellow soldiers some Of those petty differences which priyation and haTdshlps dagender, and which render ones positionunpleasant.
 You were under my command from inc middle of June until late in December. During that six months you were subjected to the stricteSt diSci- plme, and to all the hardships, toils and drudgery of the service. Though you, and many more of the noble fellows whom l was honored m com manding, had been my daily asSocIates, l Iet II necessary to mark, from the beglnning the hne between officer and man, to reqniGe prompt ob-- dIence to every command, to see that every neces- sary duty of police, and all other labor, was equal iy performed by all and l am proud to say that gained, and did not lose, popularity by this course To all you submitted cheerfully and without murmur. 1 never knew you even to hesitate at an order; l ever had cause to repToYe you; and can gladly say that, m every respect, yjlH rpe- d,tct acIs htat of gtntleRaa sOler, Gna qa hon o,,Ib,e niqa; and that so far from your being com pelled 10 leave the company 1 gave you my con sent to your doing so, favor which you de served: as should have given it to any other Of the many who had always done their whole duty.
