Of the Spanish case there orc certain general facts
which appear to us to warrant hope Of better d1g
hereafter. Thesubstratum Of the national eaFscsef
has always been good. From the old days when
Spain gave to Rome Emperors under the names of
and Seneca for philosopher, and Martial and Iucan
for poets up to the time when Spain missed the Re-
formation, there was perpetual evidence In the form
Of great men, that the staple Of the national mind
vas Ct fine quality. That Spain missed the
Reformation, and Is now so closely united with
Rome as that the spiritual aud temporal power are in
her case moro closely combined than anywhere out
CT the Pspol States, is deep calamity, and the
more so, because as is very well known tue faith by
gaDizatoD. We disposed to consider the unbroken
Catholicism Of Spain Its greatest msfortHue-if not
