peoples oy evincing our respect for rational
laws may not counsel you under the federal Re-
public otherwise than to exhibit the most resolute
front against the Csrist hosts, to suffer patiently
the fatigues OF war and to
OBEY YOUR CHIEFS
with the same readiness you show in time Of
peace.
"But should any ofacer, military or civil, from
the highest to the lowest Of any OF those who have
relations with yourselves, request you to raise
your arms to the cry al Live the unitarian Re-

cry di1erent from that OF "Live the federal Re-

usp, M
II tsin this sense-this fiery, denunclatory kind Of
language appealing and threatening alternately
that people speak to ane another now. Iptransi-
gentes minorities Of the Cortes Centres and Let's
or Centres and Rights, moderate or conservative
republicans, Carlists, liberals, Afonsstas, Sagas-
tinas, Serranistas and host OF parties and frac-
lions OF parties speak most windily and brag most
loudly. Only
INTERNArIoNALIsrs AND CARLIsTs
But what does the government dor Persons con-
cerned with the President, Pi y Margall, speak Of
him as the coming man, but confess have not
perceived indications Of greatness in him. man
can never be considered coming man unless ne
demonstrates by some act or otherwis his caps-
bility. The whin OF grapeshot with which Ma
poleon the Great crushed the mob that menaced
the Assembly demonstrated to France that he could
act on an occasion. Perhaps Pi y Margall could
demonstrate his fitness for government by some
energetic act OF similar nature, and l feel
assured that Spain at large would applaud him II
he could.
He has asked the suspension OF the constltu-
tional guarantees, but with what obiectf i
This suspension Of constitutional DEGREES, which
he so much craved, is
Pts ELEPHANT. m
This suspension was granted; but now he knows
not what to do with IT, for he fnds out, though
late that II Is an 0nerous responsibility great
indeed that he Is not able to support such change
and suppose that, alter little more OF this howl
ing Of the mad muititudes, the consequences Will
be that Pi will leave his elephant to take care Of
himself while he Will decamp la FigueraS.
Wc-oolishly enough, perhaps-thought that
after suspension Of the guarantees traitors and
disturbers OF the peace-Communists and Carlists-
were to be summarily dealt with by court martial ;
but Deputy the day before yesterday inadvertently
prObed the depth of determination the Ministers
had arrived at by requesting them to state to the
COrtes what they meant by visiting upon evil doers
the extreme penalty OF the law. Upon which Min
lister rose to explain. 1--WE mean," said he, "to
hand them over to the tribunals Of justice, to be
dealt with as the law decides, which will probably
punish them on conviction with long term of i'm.
prlsonment.
THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH
has been erased from our laws and we cannot con-
sent to visit coreligOnlst with such fearful
penalty, which is contrary to the spirit of the
nineteenth century,"
The Minister (Suner) Of the Colonies also rose
up, and said he would never consent to sign his
name to a paper ordering the execution Of his
friends, the insurrectionsts OF Cartagena, either
as Minister or Deputy, which statement as might
be expected, was received by the Cortes with pro-
found establishment
1t Is this reckless statement OF Suher's which is
the cause of the present Ministerial crisis.

I do not know whether, after the hundreds o.
letters you have received about Spanish politics
| you know precisely
WHAT THE INTRANsIGENTEs ARE.
| II you look upon them socialists or information
| alists you are altogether mistaken. They are the
| extreme republicans, the advanced republicans
or, II you like, reu republicans, without social
| istlc tendencies. To everything savoring o
monarchy and its traditions they are
deadly opponents. They wish to see
the constitution OF the democratic federal Repub
lie. They are Impatient to behold their idea
realized, and all these disturbances at Cartagena
Malaga and Barcelona arise from their impatence
at hearing endless orations, speeches, rectinca
tions, &C. They say by their acts "If we have
republic, give us constitution under which we
! can live, elect government and stop your CAB
| bling, make upon the Carlists and the
| monarchist factions" and as an intransigente
paper put it the other day. "all you have done
within five months may be embraced under the
following heads":-
| FOOD FOR REFLECTION.
Ffrst--You have made many speeches.
I SecOBd--You have passed your time in making
| declarations, promises and fair words.
