In some degree the very crowds thrown upon them
by the railroads, increase the ground of complaint

The most striking fact which the foregoing TIA
bic exhibits is, that our general commerce with
Spain in 1850 was over two millions Of dollars
les. than it was Mt the commencement Of the Cen
fury. Thus:
Total trade in 1900, Ss,l0i2bo
Total trade in 1850, 6,069,S20
Decrease in 1850 1924 43l
Cotton slaves and tobacco constitute the lnrge
bulk Of our exports TO the Spanish peninsula,
and Barcelona, on the Mediterranean, the chief
port through which our commerce passes In
1855 cotton and lumber al"na covered nearly
four fiih- of our export trade to Spain and this
part received in value upwards of $4OOO,OoO Of
tho whole amount. Let US inquire, for mo
inent. how much our leading staple contributed
10 the revenue Of Spain during the three past
yenrs. The duty American cotton IN Span
ish ports is 20 cents in Spanish, and Sl,r5 III
foreign bottoms. per l0l pounds.

ported into Spain from the United State during
each of the years l6Ii. 1855, 1856, together with
tho amount of duty collected thereon.

II appears that Old Buck having rotated suf-
hcenty at home, has singled out several Of our
Representa- tives abroad, and substituted in their
jolly and comfortable places. several ambitious
gentlemen who were anxious TO luxuriato in a
foreign cline. 1T is supposed that after waiting
areasonable length of time to receive their re-
signati-ns, and hearing never word from any
of them, he has determined to make a toleraby
clean sweep of our whole diplomatic corps.
Acting, it is presumed upon thi, determine
ton, he has elready commenced the work, and
decuPitaed, without benefit u. eorgy, our dl-
plomatio and consular representatives. at Berlin
Bremen. and Southampton. These gentlemen
have all been recalled and others Seut in their
places. This is only the first installment. In n
fcw days we may look out for another batch of
foreign appointments. A continuous residence
of many years in foreign parts is said TO cool
down ones Democratic enthusiasm very much
and We dare say Old Book has no idea If permit
ting any of our egates to stay long enough
abroad TO lose their Democracy. Nothing like
rotation for taking tho starch out of several Of
the fat and well led ENJOYS who mi-fepresont the
American character in foreign lands.
