Foreign Affairs.

Spain would appear to one who took
the map, and marked on il the various
insurcctionary districts, to be breaking
into fragments. This is, nevertheless,
more apparent than real. The weakness
of the Republic does not lie in the strength
Of its opponents, but in its own discussion.
II the friends Of Salmeron and CASTELAR,
can keep a majority, and put down in
trigues, they are still the head Of the most
powerful section Of the Spanish people,
with a capital, an organized government,
constructed under at least show Of legal
lily, and have the army, such as it is, with
them. The insurgents in the different
cities are simply rioters-temporarily in
possession. They have no cohesion; no
plans no concert Of action. They are as
much the enemies Of the Carlists as Of the
Republicans. Don Alphonso has but few
followers, and cannot be regarded as a
formidable intriguant. Apparently II
chance would make him king, why chance
may crown him. He is certainly making
but little exertion himself. Don Carlos
neither gains much nor loses much. The
Basque Provinces are his, as they were in
their intense loyalty before.

The PROSPECT BRIaHTENING.-- Stead
ily aud surely the grand old Democratic
party is rising to the requirements Of its
noble mission. In Ohio No Monopoly, No
Protective Tariff, No Irredeemable Cur
rency are the watchwords of the coming
contest, and as We hope, the coming victory.
The Maryland Democracy approach the
same high standard, and from Maine comes
back the clear and firm voiced reiteration
of the Ohio platform. More and more
plainly will it become apparent to the true
Democracy Of the whole Union that thor
ough- going Democratic principles, openly
maintained, boldly advocated, and faithfully
applied-to wit, Specie payments, No mo-
nopolies, Taxation for taxes only-will not
only restore to the Union the benefcent
rule under which all its historic glories
were won, but will also speedily restore to
the industries of the whole people in all
the States general prosperity. Free

LOOK AT THIs.-If there is a solitary
man in Carroll county who is Indifferent
as to which party is in the ascendant in
Maryland, let him east his eyes over the
following figures and determine for him
self whether he would prefer the State to
remain in the hands of the Democrats, as
it is at present, or whether he would pre-
fer to transfer it to the keeping of the
Republicans. In number of the South
ern States, where Republicanism has had
control ever since the war, through the
prepondennce of the negro vote, taxation
almost amounts to con6scation. In Ala
bama the taxes are $500 on the 500 in
Mississippi 81 so; in South Carolina $500;
in Florida sl1 so; in Louisiana, in num-
Der Of instances, the property will not pay
the taxes. These are grave facts, not
"Copperhead lies" which demand the Sc
rious consideration Of all men who would
exercise the elective franchise intelligently.

This practice is not in accordance with

Of the press. If an article has merit
enough to commend it to the adoption of a

To publish it as original, without credit, is
only to parallel the case of the daw in

The Republicans of Anne Arundel
county are not happy, neither are they
harmonious. The special correspondent
of the Baltimore american says
In some of the districts the contest be-
tween the rival candidates was quite
spirited, and went to such an extent as to
warrant an accusation of unfairness toward
the defeated. In the First district, for
instance, the successful delegates are re-
ported as having called their meeting, and
made their selections before the appointed
hour Of 3 o'clock had arrived, and the VIC
torious party Of the Fourth district are
openly charged with fraud, by voting an
unnaturalized foreigner, and counting
four other ballots that were rolled and
wrapped up together. The majority was
only two.

RADICAL ExTRAvAGANcE VS.. DINO
CRATIC EcoNoMYs-Thc Sentinel in no
sicing the proceedings Of the Democratic
Convention which assembled here, on Mon
day last, says;
During the last six years the political con-
troll Of this county has been entirely in the
hands Of the party represented by tbs eandi-
dates mentioned above, with results that must
be anything else than satisfactory to the peo-
pie. Increased taxation and prodigality in
public expenditures have been the prominent
characteristics Gifts administration. SeHtiael.
Now mark how facts contradict the
Seafiaei on this subject We appeal to
the record In 1865, 1866 and 1867,
when the Radicals discussed the funds Of
this county, tho taxes were, in each Of
these years respectively, without any school
tax, 45 cents, so cents, 40 cents in the
500. Now, add to the levy of each Of
these years, IL cents for school tax, as now
levied, and We have as the tax for each Of
those years respectively, in the order
named, 81, 62, 80, cents on the 500,
under Radical rule, as against AZ cents on
the 500, the present levy under Demo-
cratic administration. 1t will thus be
plain to everybody that the Democrats have
managed the finances of the county far
more economically than the Radicals did
when they controlled them. The Demo-
Gratis are willing to compare records on
this subject, knowing that the Judgment
of the people must be in their favor and
against the Republicans.

W. find the following appropriate srib-
ute % our Maryland Comptroller, Col
Wool6rd, among the editorials Of the
New York ForH
The compsroIlership Of tlio Slate Of Mary
land Is, We lake il, modest Office, with
small salary, and duties not onerous in Acorn
monwealth whose public virtue is in tho as
cendent, and where robbing the State Is as
uncongenial as robbing on the highway. The
other day, at Baltimore, the Democratic Con
vention nominated for this Office The present
incumbent, Mr.. Levin Woolford, and we had
great pleasure in publishing his manly and
modest letter Of acceptance. In Il is one SEN
tenee which reperasal has brought closely
AND pleasantly to our view. At the close Of
his letter, Mr. Woolford said "Before
close, however, must make to yon the an
nounccment that in no event and under no
circumstances can | again b. a candidate for
for this position. Should / be SO fortunate as
10 be elected this term and serve outnny term,
must be allowed to go home and provide for
my family and the wants Of my declining
years So simply and modestly, writes an
humble State Comptroller, poor man, too,
to whom the emolnments Of office are an oh
luttf uNt nv - ulihutc3 ucAtH uu uoutct man
and gentleman, to reconcile It to his con
science to live upon the public. He has a
dependent family, but ii never seems to have
occurred to him that he might billet his poor
relatives, brothers-in-law and all, upon the
State Treasury get his son to West Point,
and have his father made postmaster.
Then, too, he has in his disinterestednessb been
singularly obliyious Of his own interests. The
Maryland Legislature has adjourned. Itnev.
er suggested itself to him in the closing hours
Of their session to make an argument by which
his salary and theirs should be doubled and
provision made for general and Wholesale
plumber. Such schemes do not thrive on the
banks of the Severn, however it may be on
the Potomac. Woolford goes into his retire
ment at the end OF his second term which he
makes no effort to prolong, to work for his
living, No eleemosynary fund has been raised
for him. When he was FIRST elected there was
no shrewd provision made for his support
when his term expired. He has neither
honses, nor farms, nor horses in reserve when
he retires. He remains through oil the ma.
larious summer-for Annapolis has its agues
lat his post doing duty faithfully. There is
no s'Long Branch for him--no free passes
mo revenue cutters-no Mount Deseret. II
is all duty and faithful official service, and yet
the poor Maryland Democrat may be proudly
contrasted with the proyident, easy-goine
President Of the United States.

Mr.. Parton, in his ssLife Of Jefferson in
the atlantic Monthly, says the "old Demo
cratic party ruled the United States for sixty
years, and ION every leading issue except
one--the extension Of slavery--the old Demo
cratic party was right This from an old
Aholitionist is rare and unexpected comph-
ment, though none the less true.
Mr.. Parton himself is wrong when he
charges the extension" of slavery upon
the Democratic party, Democrats only
claimed the right, under the Constitution,
to take their property into the territories.
That property was recognized in the Con-
stitution and that right was equally recog-
nized there. Only those who wanted the
Constitution overthrow, denied those
rights. This is the truth Of history, Mr..
Parton to the contrary notwithstanding.

him. For people read c6ice-holders,
