over everybody. Wo be to the South just
now If they had their way. The liberties OF
the Southerners would be withheld and their
lands seized and appropriated, and Scripture
would be quoted to justify all this, just as 1t
was quoted to justify slavery and the slave
trade in Massachusetts, formerly. Although the
radical views of New England to-day appear to
be in direct conflict with those of former times
on the subject of slavery, the spirit and motive
of action are the same. Restless ambition,
dogmatism, love of theorizing, selfshness and
intolerance are the Massachusetts, elements
from which sprung slavery and all its evils
and from which spring our present political
troubles.

Spain ana Chile-The Proposed Meoia-
tisn Of tho United states.
1t Is reported in Washington, upon good au-
thority, that Spain is willing to accept the me-
diation of he United States in her quarrel
with Chile, and, submitting her claims against
the South American power to our arbitration,
will agree to be bound by the decision made.
1t is possible that this may only be one Of the
many diplomatic rumors always current in the
capital; but if it shall prove to be true we may
look forward to an early settlement of the
trouble, for it ia hardly possible that Cuba and
her allies will refuse the proposition.
Spain is usually alluded to as the least en-
lightened and progressive Of Christian nations.
as the one holding the most tenaciously and
stubbornly to all the old divine-right preju-
dices of Europe; yet we see that she is the
first of European nations to boldly acknowl-
edge the great fact Of the TINE in relation to
this hemisphere. namely, that we are the arbiter
Of national destip:es here-the one power
whose decisioc ON American topics should be
accepted as law. We might have expected
tbs recognition from England, who, knowing
better than any other the vitality that an Inn
mense commerce gives to nation, should have
been the first to perceive our great power. We
might have expected it from France, our
ancient ally, and the power that makes
most pretence to move with the spirit Of the
age. But hitherto these powers have mostly
exercised their ingenuity in the effort to argue
around the great fact Of our prcdominance in
the Western World, and when not able to argue
round it they have wilfully shut their eyes to
i Il is THE latter course that led France to
tumble into such an uncomfortable piece Of
business as the Mexican expedition. 1t is re-
malkable that old fogy Spain should be more
progressive than her enlightened neighbors in
the one fact in which progressiveness is valu-
able.
The present willingness of Spain to submit
her pretensions in South America to reason
able discussion indicates desire to free her
hands Of trouble on this side of the Atlantic. It
is .snother straw telling us how universally all
the European breezes tend toward war. All
the powers wish to have as clean record as
possible for the comipe summer. Though from
what is seen now. the war, if it comes at all,
will be far away from Spain and Spanish inter
ests, yet there is no knowing how it may
spread or who may be involved in it. EG-
pcrence has amply shown that exact limits
cannot be set to any great war; and Spain, act
ing wisely on that experience, prepares to put
her house in order.
