The mas tere cf the situation thers, in Matanzas, and in Cartenss, are the volunteers organized out of the Spanish residents of the island, and whose ranks are chiefly recruited from the lower classes of society. In Havana it self, owing to the fact of its being the focus of the political, military, and ecclesiastical power of the Government, and also to the for x wnt clement of the Spanish middle class, no revolutionary outbreak has been possible. ‘Phe sane reasons apply, ina modified degree, to Matanzas and Cardenas ; Dut there, as in Havana, the real power is in the hands of the armed working class—the volunteers—not in those of their respective Governors. The other cities of the island are garrisoned by regular Spanish forces, proving that in them the Span.sh element is not sufficiently preponderant to allow the Government to inirust their safety to their own inhabitants, Puerto Principe is the only interior city of any Importance on the islanl. It is distant about sixty miles from both the north and south coas' It seeme likely to be the chief strategic point in the revolution, at least for some time to come, Although the posses sion of it costa the Spaniards much difficulty, it would be 80 important a centro for the revolutionary forces that it must be pre- served at all hazarda. The revolution com menced in this district, the only one where y of its being bh.

Woe are reminded of the fate which awaits the Old School in their reunion with the New, by a well: known parallel passago in the his tory of the Demoeratic party of this State, For aeveral years they quarrellod over the Wilmot Proviso, and in 1847 they had shivered their oryanization on that rock of offence. The Barnburners, who may be called the New School, introduced the Proviso as embodying doctrines in aceordance with the advanced spirit of tho age. The Old School Hunkers repudiated it, and turned the Barnburn After having avenged themsolvas by the defeat of General Cass in 1848, the new lights, in the following year, pro- posed a reanion, The two wings of the Democracy met in separate Conventions at Rome in tho summor of 1849, tho Hunkers silting inthe Presbyterian Church, and the Barnburners in the Baptist.

Mancy, whose name was a tower of strength in the orthodox ranks of the party, assured tho Ifunkers in a private room at a hotel near by that he had no doubt it would all come out right in the end. And soit did! The Barnburnera got control of the party, and soon mado Mancy Secretary of State and Seymour Governor of New adherents of the old school quite into the shade. ‘The simple explanation of this turn of affairs was, that tho Wilmot Proviso Democrats kept step with the progressive spirit of the times, while the Hunkors typified an ere which had passed away. Ultimately, at the appropriate period, the moro sanguine elements of the Barnburner faction fused with the fragments of other political organizations in the formation of « powerful party which carried the country through a great war, and gave ita Constitution that insures tho freo dom of all men within its jurisdiction So, we apprehend, it will turn out with the Presbyterian Church when its two Asrem- Dlies have become one again, Tho radical, progressive, audacious New School will, lke the New York Baruburners, absorb tho con- servative, cautious, timid Old School ; for the former are the more lively type of the times, and in the vital matter of doctrinal tests aro in accord with a large majority of the mem. bers of other denominations called orthodox. Tho Methodists almost without exception, nearly the entire body of the Congregation. alists and Lutherans, three-fourths of the Baptists and Episcopalians, a majority of the Dutch Reformed, with other smaller sects, are in perfect unison with them in the libe- ral glosses wherewith they are wont to soften and meliorate the rigid text of the creed of CALVIN.
