The people of Spain, with arms in their hands, are already in an elevated mood, to which they have been raised by the indignant passions, and the keen sense of insupportable wrong and insult from the enemy, and its infamous instruments.

But they must be taught, not to trust too exclusively to the violent passions, which have already done much of their peculiar task and service.

They must seek additional aid from affections, which less imperiously exclude all individual interests, while at the same time they consecrate them to the public good .-- But the enemy is in the heart of their Land! We have not forgotten this.

We would encourage their military zeal, and all qualities especially military, by all rewards of honourable ambition, and by rank and dignity conferred on the truly worthy, whatever may be their birth or condition, the elevating influence of which would extend from the individual possessor to the class from which he may have sprung.

For the necessity of thus raising and upholding the military spirit, we plead: but yet the _professional_ excellencies of the soldier must be contemplated according to their due place and relation.
