From the dependence Of all the parts on one
great central power, it is easy to perceive
how the suffrages Of most of the members
may be controlled by the bishops. Let the
bishop suggest TO the presiding elders, that
the interest of their ecclesiastical despotism
will be subserved by the election of u certain
set Of men to ofice-the presiding elders use
their influence over the preachers, the
preachers over the class-leaders, and the
class-leaders over the class members and thus
the balance of power in the political contest
may rest in the hands Of seven Episcopal Me-
thodist bishops There is as much danger of
this as there is Of Romanism accomplishing "a

An Eloquent EXhOrtatiOn.

The recent reports that in a speech to the
Spanish Cortes, the minister Senior Luzuriaga,
had said the Spanish Government had deter.
mined to abolish slavery in Cuba, operated
on the chiyalry' like friction on locofoco
match. The Richmond Enquirer, breaks out
in fame at once.
9 The ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN CrBA.-
The Asia has brought intelligence from
Madrid OF as momentous character to the
South as any ever conveyed across the Allan
tic. The abolition of slavery in Cuba has
been resolved upon by the Spanish Govern
ment Virginians Southerners
Awake, arouse, or be forever lost Great
Britain has been deliberately meditating your
ruin since ISL, when she entered into a
treaty with Spain hy which she contracted
to give her $1,000 900 to abolish the slave
trade Men of the South you have
been nourishing in your bosom a reptile whose
poisonous sting you will feel soon, if you
longer delay to crush out its venomous life
Meet together, reason together, and war unto
death against So subtle serpent as that
which destroyed the peaceful abode of our
hrst parents The concealed dwarf may trip
nj a giants heels. A midnight political
consrirator may undo nation
II turns out however that the Spanish minis
ter only said that the government intended to
execute the treaties which forbid the slave
trade, and had not thought of abolishinc
sIavery-considering it necessary and indis-
pensable thing for the preservation of the
territorial property Of the Islands 1t is to
be hoped that the Enquirer will allow itself
to cool off, now that it finds Senior Luzuriaca
on its side, with the slight exception Of
making war on the slave trade. And on that
head Judging from the past, we think it need
feel no uneasiness.

The Report closes rs follows
Before concluding. it may be well to alludc
to the pressure which has existed in the
Money Market for some time past. That
pressure has doubtless, arisen from an over
importation Of goods and the serious losses ON
timber and deals shipped to Great Britain
during the last year
These causes, however, are in our opinion
only of Il temporary nature, and must disar-
pear with time. There is nothing in them
to cause us to take responding view of the
future, for the resources of the country are
unbounded our agricultural produce com
mand good prices. and our timber trade must
ere long revive, even in spite Of the war which
has had 50 disastrous an effect upon 1t
during the last year.
We cannot, however, look with the same
freedom from anxiety upon the policy Of the
Government, 80 far as it refers to the Tariff
and to its continued indifference to the merits
of the ship canal for the purpose of connect
ing the st. Lawrence with Lake Champlain
and hope that these matters will not fail t,
engage the serious attention of the Board.
