Spanish Politics,

1t is difficult indeed to understand the upa
aud downS Of partiea in Spain; and yet, through
the tangled skein of its politics may be diacern-
ed the prevalent tendencies of high court
party ntgiving ever for the continuance OF
arbitrary and despotic power, and liberal par
ty striving for strictly constitutional govern.
melt.
A few years ago, under the eEspartero Cabi-
net, Spain enjoyed, If not liberal, at least o
moderately constitutional administration. Then
Qe56) Marshal O'Donnell, the present head of
affairs, succeeded in intriguing Espsrtero out
of Office; and no sooner was he Installed in
Office than he induced the Queen to declare
the whole Of Spain subject to martial law, and
in fact overthrow the existing constitution. In
vain did the people, in various places, resist,
and by force, this overthrow and Introduction
of despotsm. The regular troops proved too
much for the undacipiined masses, and all at
tempts at incipient insurrectiou were put down.
The ministry, after the suppression of the re-
VOLT went on with high and heavy hand
The National Guard was abolished and the
Constitutional Cortes was dissolved; the former
not without O show of reason, for intriguers
ever mado use Of it RB an instrumeniality to
accomplish their designs. The O'Donnell Min
iStry, however, did not retain long the power
IL 30 recklessly grasped, but in lew months
was succeeded by the Narvaez Ministry And
so 1t has been since. Spain Tor years has been
cursed by o succession of ephemeral ministers,
the offspring not of an enlightened public opin-
ion, but of eabala having their center in court
influence.
An O'Donnell Ministry la now in power, and
il certainly carries 1t with high hand. A
large portion of Spain ia still under martial
law; the journala are constantly prosecuted;
public meetings can be held only on permission
OF the governme ent; aud fifteen thousand troops
are etstioned OF Madrid, who arc at the hscs
and call of the Ministry. The latest news
about the O'Donnell Cabinet is, that, to the
surprise of his colleagues and the surprise of
the public, he has just abruptly dissolved the
Cortes. His object is aaid to be to defeat an
intrigue to ouat him from power, in which are
engaged some of his associates in the govern
menE; and the opinion is iresly expressed that his
administration is In most precaripus coDdi-
ton.
Meantime the liberal party is active aud has
taken means to pus forth its strength in psbic
affairs. The government juss graoiousy grant
ed it permission to hold public meeting! Bat
the miniatry would not allow it TO be hela where
the people desired to hold it, in the Royal
Theater; and 40 the great meeting, as il 10
characterized, was held In the Theater las
Novedades, in Msdrid; and il appears TO have
been public meeting to discuss politics just as
we do here. 1t is stated that the place was
hardly sufficient for the numbers who gathered.
The object was to choose an electoral committee.
At the head OF the old one and the one Just
elected is M. Olozaga. He made speech,
and hi5 words, as any rate, have tho ring of the
true metal in them.

Important Movement among the Metho.
dists.

A convention Of Methodist laymen from all
parts OF tho free and border slave States has
been In session in this city during two days Of
this week, to deliberate on the best means to OBJ
tain the object they seek, an equal representa-

in four years.
10 every other Protestant denomination in this
country, except the Methodist, laymen have a
share in the councils. The last General Con-
ference, which met at Buffalo in 1860, formally
offered to admit lay representation al the mex,
meeting of that body, II majority of the lay
men should express desiro for it. A vote wal
taken within the last twelve months, which re-
suited in an advance decision; thirty thousand
votes were cast for lay representation ana fifty
