Spain and the United States.

According TO London ielteri in the New
York Times, Gen. Espartero, the head Of
the new Spanish Government has had sew
eral interviews with Mr.. Sonle, and has I'M
formed him that the Spanish Cabinet will
do its best to settle all matters Of differences
having pecuniary character; and as to
questions Of national honor and dignity,
the United States cannot expect any great
er satisfaction than in the fact that the i'm.
peached Government, az whose hands
Spanish subjects have also suffered inius.
tice, has been driven out by a popular fis.-
ing. Asto Cuba, in particular, there is no no

The Fusion Nominee for Congress.

We had barely time and room ID our
last to make the announcement, OF the
nomination Of our contemporary for Com
gress., The modesty Of our neighbor pre-
vented him from doing more. This week
we shall take occasion TO make some re-.
marks in regard TO the fitness Of the nolni-
nation-the manner of its accomplish.
ment, and the great modesty Of the nomi-
nee while acting as delegate in the con-
vention which nominated him. or Mr..
congressional District of Ohio. in Con-
gress, we have no doubt. il an oyer.wean-
ing and all peryading desire 10 defeat the
"locofocos" is any evidence. This part
of the programme in his congressional
career. would doubtless meet Z rigid ac-
accomplishment. He and Giddings w0uld
make fit bed-fellows. They would come
down on all Ne5raskability like thou
| sand of brick.
The sang froid with which the result OF
the Political management and chicanery
made use Of in convention, 10 defeat his
fellow townsmen, DR.. MILTON GRREn.: only
equals his great modestys in makine ihe
announcement to his readers. Ii was

Whether he had not acted the hypocrite
enough to leave the impression that he
was good enough abolitionist 10 make
the fusion 60 off in good styIe,-of wheih-
er he was like Mr.. CRIMES, TOO much OF
Henry Clay whig, to be available for sec
tional strife, and consequent disuDisfs-~
this deponent is not prepared 10 say. One
thing is certain. Mr.. ALBRIGHT is repre-
sented as having refused or failed ID; act

in the Barnesville convention. when Dr.

il is said that, so soon as he was announc-
ed as a candidate, he was on hands, and

friend may have imbibed the idea Of John
Woods in regard 10 the chance for s.wealth

The Small Note Law.

1t will be remembered that the law TO
suppress the circulation Of foreign small
notes in this State, will take effect on the
first of October.
At a meeting of Banks and Bankers.
held in Cleveland on the 9Th inst, the fol.
lowing resolutions were unanimously a.
dopted:
Resolred, That on and after the goth
inst, all foreign bank notes, of a less de-
nomination than SIS, and on and after
the lst Of October next, all of less de.
nomin alton than $40, will be regarded as
uncurrent.
Resolred. That on and after the 1st
day OF October next, no note Of a less
denomination than $40 will be paid out,
excepting those OF the State of Ohio.
This action of the Cleveland Banks,
and Bankers will have tendency to ill.,
spire public confidence in their solvency
and integrity. The Plain Dealer, in
referring to the course adopted by the
Cleveland Banks and Bankers, says:
The having none but a foreign curren-
cy, mostly in small bills, and large por-
ton irresponsible at that, is curse OF the
creates, magnitude. Even, although il
nominally passes at par, it is not SO, as
can easily be demonstrated, by trying to
realize par funds with it. Men who never
have occasion to buy exchange, do not
understand that all these foreign small
notes are, and have been for a long time.
from one to two per cent. discount. II
they should hear that exchange was worth
two per cent, they could not for mo-
ment think that the price could injure
them, who never buy it. We would re-
mind them tsS.sst the merchant, who is
obliged to remit money to the Eastern
cities in payment Tor his goods, must have
par funds, and if the bills he receives
from his customers are worth less, he
must pay The difference. II it is two or
ten per cent. he adds it to the price Of his
goods, and every purchaser is forced to
pay the amount on every article he buys.
This shave, small as it may seem. amounts.
IN this city alone, 10 hundreds Of thou.
sands of dollars per year.
Let this law be carried into effect fully,
and our currency will be equal to that OF
any of the States. Gold and silver will
be plenty. Bank bills will be worth their
face. no man will suffer loss by depre-
ciated currency, and the wheels of finance
will roll along smoother than they have
ever vet done in our borders,

Judge Douglas Withdrew rom lhe stand.

Judge Douglas withdrew from The stand.
We are confident that we speak the sem
tlment Of every honorable and manly
citizen of Chicago, Of all shades OF poll
tics, when we say that the proceedings Of
last night, were disgraceful in the ex.
trene, and that their effect upon the char
acter and honesty Of the city abroad will
be previously felt.
One or two facts were particularly re-
markable throughout last nights proceed
ings. One of these was, that the organ.
lied band of disgracefu actors in the
mob, ever and anon, at short intervals,
cheered most Justify the editors of the
Tribune. Another fact was, that not
man in that vast throng. who was opposed
TO the speaker in politics. made any ef.
fort to preserve order or control the mob
The right Of speech has been crushed
in an American city. That city, too. in
the free State Of Illinois, and its metropo-
lis. The precedent has been set. Where
will it stopa Who is to be the next VIC
tim?
But these things, though mortifyIng to
every lover Of his country, will have its
results. The American heart is a gen.
erous one. No one can suffer injury and
not receive its sympathy. Thousands OF
gallant and glorious minded citizens
throughout the State. who differ in opin-
ion with Judge Douglas, will mark their
condemnation of the conduct Of the Abo-
li,onists of Chicago, by giving 10 him
their support
These Abolitionists, intent only upon
present triumph forget that in refusing to
hear Judge Douglas, they mark their own
cause with being unworthy OF examina-
ton, and honor him as champion of
truth before whom they dare not stand.
