There are parts of the
new constitution of Spain in which you would
expect, of course, that we should not concur.
* * * One of these is the aristocracy, quater
sublimata, of her legislators; for the ultimate
electors of these will themselves have been
three times sifted from the mass of the people,
and may choose from the nation at large
persons never named by any of the electoral
bodies.—
