MIR. PRESIDENT, LADIES, Nd GENTLE.
MEN: On the 9TH ultimo Maria Christina,
queen regent OF Spain, signed Mt the royal
pnace IN Madrid decree emancipating the
slages in the Island Of Cuba, II dependency
Of tue Spanish crown. The PRONUNCIATION
Of this notable act thrilled the civilized world
with continent OF gladness, and the friends
OF liberty and progress here are met to eel.
citrate this signal victory for humanity. 1t
is proper to let the light Of truth shine upon
this page Of Spanish history, turned by the
royal hand for our contemplation. The
Spaniurds have drawn their blood from Il
greater variety of stocks than any race In
Europe, but the great majority Of this people
doubtless descended from the venerable Gel
tiberans lnhabitlng the peninsula Early In
their tribal life, however, there were nu-
meTous and powerful Carthaginian and
PhGniCian settlements In Spain on the east
ern seabOard. The Romans soon pene.
trated Spain and stamped their
powerful character upon nearly every
Ohase Of Spanish life As early as the third
ceRtnry. before the Christian era, Spain, or
Iberia Of the Greeks, placed powerful mer.
chant marine upon the seas, and the ships
of TaFshis became far-iamed In the east,
The Phgnician military power had laid
tribute upon large tract Of Spanish terri
tory, and hamIlcar, the Carthglnlan sol
der had founded the city OF Barcelona.
Hamilcar, In treaty with the
Romans, stipulated not TO ad-
vance the Carthaglnian standard
beyond the lberus (Ebro), which was
violated, however, In the destruction Of
saguutum, by his son Hannibal, the most
illustri0us of Carthaginian generals. This
bad faith resulted In the second Punic war.
The Romans drove the Carthaginians from
the peninsula In eos b. o., but It was not until
20 Is. G. that the indomitable ana sullen
Cantabri aud ASSURES, Ia the extreme north
Of Spain, surrendered their arms To Angus
tus. The Roman authority was everywhere
established; and for three centuries Spain
enjoyed great prosperity, and the strength
Of her roads and aqueducts and amphithea-
ter Is still attested by magnificent ruins, the
admiration Of modern travellers.
