We long ago pointed out in this journal that
Spain and Brazil were the natural allies -
of the South, and that our policy should
b 90 directed rs to secure and consolidate
that alliance. We are not surprised to see
It recently suggested by q Spanish writer
that If Commissioners had been sent to
Spain abe would, without difficulty, have
recognized our independence. If the South
has had ono unmistakable friend and
sympsthiser from the very beginning of
her troubles, it has been SPAIN. We think it
wa due to that generous and chivalrous peo-
pie, AS well ~ to ourselves to have sent repre-
seutatjves to tho Spanish Court, aud thereby
to have laid broad and distinct the foundation
Of close and permanent anty with that en-
pire. 1t L. not, perhaps, now too late to rec
ufy An omission which was certainly Lot die
ssted by any want of courtesy to Spain, any
moro than to any other of the powerful enl-
pires TO which we have not sent representa-
lives.
No Government of Europe has made more
rapid improvement than Spain Of late years.
In the development of internal resources, in
commerce and manufactures, in her colonial
wealth, in her army and navy, there has been
steady and vigorous increase. There
seems good reason to believe that, under en-
tlghtened eounsels Spain will arrive again at
her old pitch of greatness. and become one
Of tho most powerful empires of Europe
She Is one Of the fnw nations in which the
spirit of chivHiry has 10. died out with the in
cresse Of material gain. Even the unrivalled
.atire Of Cervsntes could not kill out chivalry
In Spain. We could wish that. In some form
or other, she might learn that her generous
sympathy Is gratefully appreciated by the
Southern people, that we recognized her not
ruly as nation Of similar Institutions but of
similar character. aud that our feelings, as
veil AZ onr interests, would be gratified by an
early and close alliance with Spain, whom
~ will slwsye remember as the first friend Of
the Southern Confederscy.
