speech of the queen OF Spain.

The Queen of Spain opened the Cortes in
person on the 28th ultimo. In the speech
from the throne, she said
My desire for peace has not been able to
prevent the commencement of hostiities be-
tween this country and Chill, which had OPP
stinately refused to make amends for wrongs
done to the Spanish nation during the Peru
Wan difficulty The Government will give
an account to the Cortes of the progress of the
war, and Of any negotiations that may take
place in connection herewith.
DESTROYS of respecting the independence of
the State of Stuth America, founded on the
ancient colonies of Spain, have signed a
treaty recognizing the independence of San
Salvador.
Of the Pope, the Queen said;
Various reasons originating in desire per-
manently to promote the interest of the nation
have induced me to recognize the Italian
Kingdom, but that recognition cannot weaken
those feelings of respect and devotion to the
Holy Father common to all the faithful, nor
lessen my firm intention to watch over the
rights of the Holy See.

THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.

The New York Erening Post recently argu-
ing the question of negro suffrage, defended
its hostility to the present position Of Congress
in imposing it upon the lately seeded States
as mark of submission and a condition pre-
cedent to restoration, on these grounds First,
that the terms of suffrage are left by the Con-
stitution exclusively in the control of the
States; secondly, because before we grant the
right to vote to any new elements we require
a certain probation-of natives twenty-one
years of age; of adult foreigners, five years
residence; and we ought to requires some SINH
lar probation of the ignorant mass of late
slaves; and thirdly, because it would seem to
us an intense meanness to impose upon the
Southern communities conditions which our
Northern communities refuse themselves to
accept.
Angered at the attitude of the Post on this
subject, and still more by its course in relation
to the tariff, taxes, &C., the New York Til
bune reads the Post out of the Republican
party and insists that it is going over to the
Democracy.
The reply of the Post is quiet but conclus-
i've:
As to returning to the Democratic party we
have this to say that unless wiser, juster,
and more liberal counsel prevail at Washing
ton there will soon be no Republican party to
hold to. If the Union, for which we have
spent so much money and poured out so
much blood, be not fully restored before the
close of the present session of Congress, the
people-whose instincts discern only general
grand results-will sweep the party that has
the power out of sight. The Union. in all its
length and breadth, they will have, and polti-
cal differences they will adjust afterwards !;
and such impracticable schemes as Summers
and Stevenss and others will only succeed in
separating the dominant party from the popu-
lar sympathy both South and North.

LET THEM LOOK TO THEIR
NECKS

Under the above heading we find the fol-
lowing in our namesake-the New York Day
Book of yesterday
Mr.. Kelly, in a late speech in Congress, said
he was "for the Constitution in all its length
and breadth, as understood by Washington
and Madison "a remark which shows Mr..
Kelley to be an ignoramus or an imposter.
How often has he argued that, under the Con-
stitution, the Federal Government is not a
Confederacy but what he calls government"
But Washington believed and taught that it
was a Confederacy. In letter to General
Pinckney, dated June %, 1888, he writes :
New Hampshire, on the 21st inst, acceded
to the meao Conyederacy," He was in the habit
of speaking of the sovereign powers of the
States" John Dickinson, of Delaware, wrote
paper to induce his State to ratify the Con-
stitution, in which he declared that the instru-
ment preserved the independent sovereignty
of the several States This paper General
Washington heartily praised in letter dated
April 81, 1888. And as for Mr. Madison, if
Mr.. Kelly intends to be bound by Mr.. Madi-
sons ideas Of the Constitution we advise Mr..
Kelly to look little to his own neck, for Mr..
Madison taught that this Constitution is " a
compact between sovereign and independent
States, +" between thirteen sovereignties, and
chat =" the States are regarded as distinct and
independent sovereignties by the proposed
Constitution. And again he says "The States
being the parties to the constitutional CON-
pact, and in their sovereign capacity, it follows
of necessity that there can be no tribunal above
their authority to decide in the last resort
whether the compact made by chem be vio-
lated" If Mr.. Madson's views of the Con-
stitution are to be taken, we afectionately ad-
wise Mr., Kelly and all men like him, to make
early tracks to Mexico, or perhaps better, for
Hayti, for there they might be safe from the
fate that befell old John Brown for making
war on the " sovereign State of Virginia"

or less sum, or for longer or shorter time,

Rky Forney does not seem to rate very
highly either the numbers or capacity of the
so-called loyal men of the South. He says:
"There are few loyal men in the South ca
pable of filling the more valuable offices; and
If they are not at hand, others can be sent
there from the loyal States. But there is no
remedy as it regards the unremuueratve
places"
Hence he is in favor of abolshing the test
oath for post Offices and the like"
