TIE scsefe;er Of srain Is always the pet child OF
Aha pansl family and therefore the especial horror

dor alsm of Spain, which, however Imperfect M
sdahle and vacillaiirg does reapOear from time 30
time az h interesting enough 10 the free na'ioas
OF she world TO keep alive the conception OF consti
tutioral government. IN Spair; and here is an ex-
planationO tire Cars attention TO Spanish affairs
Ada 10 this his evident hope of CT eating diversion
fom the east ny instpating cali upon England
aud temptation TO France to interfere beyo "a the
Pyrenees - and what il the event. aere is
the insurrection true en- ugh and we are be-
ginning TO learn now what the insurgents de-
81 and conts mplate. They want to get rid OF the
bad advisers Of the Qeeen Of Spain, and 10 obtain
constitutional government under the recognized IN
stsanept of 1881; and SO bound up are the fortunes
OF Isabella OF with the constitution, that 1t is
surprise that O'Do0Bel aud MS coadJutors pro
fsss entire 10y atty 70 her, while removing ev coa1-
selloYs from her presence. At shls Juncture u Is
said that the young King OF Portugal, now IN pei
eian, is anxious to have speedy meeting with the
Emperor OF the French, 10 order 70 learn whas ne
may expect from France IN case OF Inc prosecution
Of the scheme OF giving him the spanish empire IN
addition 10 his owp. Ii the most credible accounts
xre tine the Boy king has received plain warning
Mat the Gar is t1ing to make tool Of
him, in OF der TO introduce discord among the
Western kingdoms, and c cate diversion from
the scenes and topics of the Eastern war. The En-.
veror Of the French will, OF course, declare he
viii listen to no scheme OF the sort; and We OF
course shall at sll times say the same thng. If the
Spanish nation desire representative government,
they now have the opportunity of obtaining il.
fh6y cannot possibly, while at peace abroad want
our help to get what shey are resolved to have at
hsme: and, II they succeed, they will have TOO much
10 DO 10 be able o JON in the var while they must
for long time TO cone be too feeble TO render either
tAeir testimony their aid Of any considerable i'm
pcitance on behalf OF the cause OF political liberty
in which the existing war Mi merge sooner or
later. All we have 10 do IL to observe what
goes Cd ih Span, without meddiing more or
Rss, while the Spanish nation il contendng for me-
EBods fnd principles OF government apart from the
question of the $. vereguly In order TO battle the
Mrriglss Of The Gar, ali we nave to do IL to do
nothing, except as usual, to exert our influence

Nobody supposes there Is any extensive spread of
ultra liberalism Gas republicansm would be in
SPAIN and if me Spaniards, now reused to their
great decision, choose to lie down again under
atspotism, we cannot help them to anything better
lie intermediate and best state-that Of copstitu-
hoDal governments now procurable by them
without any help from us Thus, the intrgaes of
she Car need have no effect mon us ; and The only
% icituds at present may be that they Should not
corrupt the nor and turn the brain OF young
King, whose own crown is quite heavy enough for
- immature Q head.
Butts not here that TIE history of Russian intrigue
ends. By tfe link bi Cuba the evil spirit darts into
tbe cent of the republican institutions Of America.
For many months-since before the war-we have
all heard from time TO time, Of the activity of aas-
man agents III the slave states; and the astounding
Aocounts of the was that find their way hther from
the cities Of the South-acc"unts which are wonder
fully like those of st. Neutrality-suspicious. which
represent the allies unsuccessful and doomed TO
defeat and humiliation by Sussia-show what inlu
ence rules the press whence such news is issued.
Some facts Of this kind, connected with others,
which explain something of the marvel of the
Nebraska bill, may put us on guard, and
bJow soE light on the American agit alton on the
beet OF Cuba. The most important question is
whether the Americans and the Spaniards viii take
She warning which events ought TO yield them.
There are some curious tales to be told some day
about what Russia has not only attempted, but
done, to bting about a revolution in the United
States by driving home the splitting Welge Of
slavery. 1t may come out soon how the Ca .aats
