SPANISH REJOICING OVER AMERICAN TROUBLES
The Paris Constitutional publishes the following
in letter from Its Madrid correspondent: f
The great drama now in progress IN the United
States of America is the text of all conversations in
the political circles of Madrid The opinion is that
two countries England and Spain, are specially in
terested in the revolution in the Western Republic
In commercial point of view, American events will
affect the interests of England more than those Of
any other nation; but IN political point of view,
Spain is the country which radical change in the
social and political conditions of the American peo-
pie, and the cventuaties flowing out from such
change, concern the most The Anglo.Saxon race,
settled upon the soil discovered by Columbus and
conquered by Spaniards, increases in threatening
ratio, and holds Damoces' sword not only over the
West Indies, but also over all the American coun-
tries where the language of Cervantes is spoken.
The troubles now threatening the existence Of the
American Union not subjects Of grief to the peo-
pie of Spain. Herpotical integrity her interest of
race of religion and her policy, require that stop
be pot to the progress of this swelling population
if it were proper to be pleased with other peoples
msfortunes, Spain would, perhaps, have reason to
rejoice at what is happening the other side of the
ocean. Meanwhile the Spanish Government intends
to watch closely the Spanish provinces of America,
not that they are now exposed to any risk whatever
but because Government must look to future events
even when they are still far distant"

FROM CHARLEsToN-BURDENs OF THE TARIFF
The Charleston correspondent of the Providence
Journal, writing under date of Feb 23d, says:
In this mornings papers there appeared the
notice of the Collector of the port Informing US
that the Southern Congress had adopted the revenue
laws of the United States as they existed previous
to the fourth of November, 1860, and that the same
will continue in force against all nations foreign to
this Confederacy, except Texas.
This is about the worst thing that could be done
for US and people are made very sensible of it. and
as the law goes into effect Immediately, it created
quite panic among those merchants who had or
dered goods from northern ports. Most of them
were obliged to countermand their orders because
Of the impossiblity of getting sufficient specie to
pay the duties. AS our banks do not pay any spe-
Gle, it is very scarce is worth ten per cent, and it
is considered friendly act to part with it at that
enormous price.
When we come to consider the high duty to
which breadstutfs are subjected, dependence on
the northern States for the supply and the enor-
nous amount which is consumed in the Southern
States it is very evident that if this tariff is contn-
ued long, our supply will soon be exhausted and
the poorer classes living in the cities must suffer-

And his palsied limbs and his shrunkeu cheek,
And his locks ~ thin and grey.
Aud be gases long at the rudy blaze
As It earls. and fickers aud CLOVIS,
And he seems to see in its changefnl light,
The forms that the years, in their rapid flight,

There cometh the form of maiden fair,
With laughing mischievous eyes

And the love-light of that he seeth there
Seem borrowed from the skies.
And she wreatbed a smile with her ruby lips,
Such Us ne er another bath dune,
And she cometh again she did Of yore,
And bendeth low D er his hOrshead h0ar,
As she did in the years long gone.
And she twneth her arms with loving embrace
Around his neck, and she presseth kiss,
With her glowing lips on his aged brow,
And the shriveled old man is young again now,
Living over rich seasons Of bliss.
And then there cometh tiny form

And his heart yearneth over the tiny one.

And it changeth again, and q prattling boy

And other wee forms are around him row,
And pride sits epthroned on the old mans brow,
As he lists to their childish glee.
The beautiful walden with laughing eyes,
Is the wife of his early years,
And that tiny one was the eldest child.
And that prattling group that his hear. beguiled
Are the babes of his prayers and tears.

AND there cometh the shape of the bier and pail,
And his fondly loved wife, and his children all

Bursts forth from the old mans heart,
The vision bath fed-hes awake again
lonely old man. with anguish and pain,
Awaiting his call to depart.

Hon. BEDFORD BRowN.-No event of the recent
election has been more gratifying to us than the
triumphant election of Hon. Bedford Brown. He
was made the object of the last Legislature by
native and imported disunionists. A mighty effort
was made to kill him off here and at home. Pro-
ceedings of disunion meetings in his own county
were paraded all over the State with great flourish
of trumpets. He stood like a !" big grizzly" and
defed the whole yelping pack. He appealed to his
constituents, and they have sustained him. He has
name and fame that will live bright and I'M
furnished when those of his assailants will be
charitably covered with the mantle Of obliylon.Ad

From questions of this class" spring all our
troubles. What class? The attempt of Congress
to exercise power on the slavery question where
there is no express provision Of the Constitution
comforting the power; the attempt on the one side
to prohibit slavery, and the attempt on the other
side to protect it, where there is no "express" pro-

our present troubles, according to the statement Of
the President The causes are to he traced to the
