MIR. EOTTs,s SPEECH.

We surrender q very lrge proportion of our
space to-day TO JOHN n. BoTTs's Grafton jester
day at the Academy of Music. 1t is a strong,
frank sinewy production, right in most of its po-
.tious, and lucid in its arrangement Of facts, while
its Natiy.m is of mild and rational type, and
compressed within the narrowest limits that the
occasion would allow. II it were no longer than
Mr.. BuchAuan's anti Democratic Grafton Of 1916,
this one might achieve as wide circulation aud as
long life as that did.
Mr.. Botts's condemnation Of the overthrow OF
the Missouri compact, and Of the LecOmp.on out.
rage of last Winter, is as hearty and thorough as
could De desired. His eLmity to Filibusterism in
all it's phases is such as BELTS son of the Virgins
of the olden time celebrating the birthday Of
Washington. His appeals for a union of the OPP
position in 1860 are forcible, pertinent and manly
and, while he makes no concessions to the Anti.
Slavery spirit OF the age, he does not, under the
cant of Union aud Nationality, require practical
acquiescence in the schemes aud connsance at the
success of the Slavery Propaganda. We do not
realize that he has indicated sufficient and salts
factory basis of union for 1860 but he has discussed
tue DutttT III d spHlt WHICH oocs uOt ttcu " Tcu-
der or to proclaim such union impossible.
Mr.. Bolts does justice to the policy and spirit of
that party which arrosates and profanes the name
of Democratic, with their fruits; if he fails at all
it is in exhibiting the unmeasured Odium which the
acts of our ruler, and our hlibusters, through the
last few years, have excited throughout the civil
lied world. Weak as our Government was while
Washington was President, it was universally re.
spected ard esteemed; strong as it is under b.
chansn, it is universally dreaded or detested. The
change of public sentiment in Europe within the
years which have elapsed since the issue of the
Ostend Circular is unparalleled; our country, for
half century the pole-star of the oppressed, has
become the bugbear of despots and oligarchs, the
scandal of republicans, and stencil in the nostris
of those who aspire to Universal Freedom. Our
policy and attitude are doing more to keep the
millions of Europe under the feet of their OPP
pressors than We ever did for their liberation.
Shall there not be an end of this

Russia during the recent Turkish war, without an

escaping a settlement BY the sword.

THE WAR PROSPECT IN EUROPE.

The news from Europe by the Africa is the most
warlike that we have received since the NewYesr's
compliment of Napoleon III. TO Baron Hubner first
startled Europe and enriched the whole gang
of Bonspartist parasites by producing an enOr-
NOUS and sudden fall in the prices Of stocks The
Speech of the Queen of England at the opening of
Parliament, of which full copy will be found on
another page, declares that the British Government
have taken sll possible measures to avert the ca.
lamity of war, but il does not declare that these
measures have proved successful, and that the
danger and the probability Of war have passed
away. And yet there can be no donbt that had it
been practicable to make such declaration, it
would have been embodied in the Speech, and in
the most emphatic terms possible. We must then
infer that the Brtish Government expect war;
and this inference is strengthened by careful Pc
rusa of the debates on the subject in Parliament.
Such too is evidently the inference Of the gentle
men of the European stock markets, where prices
seem to be in state Of chronic decline, especially
at London and Paris. "War in Italy" says the In
dependence Beige, sis near at haod unless diploms-
"cy, bya supreme effort shall succeed in arrestng
"the danger, and rendering useless the pepsrs-
"tiops for campaign which are going forward at
"once in Austria, Piedmont and France" The
Independence proceeds to state, authoritatively,
certain facts taking place in France which it re-
CARDS as the symptoms of speedy commencement
of hOstilities. These are the concentration OF
troops in the south of Fran.e, sailing orders
given TO the squadron at Cterbourg, tie accumu
lation of vast numbers OF military beds at Mar
seies, the activity forced upon the furnisaers Of
the French army, the preparation Of extraordinary
quantities Of cartridges the recent casting of $50
pieces of artillery, the purchase of unusual num-
bers Of horses the sending to Marseles of l5O 900
Congreve rockets, and the approaching arrival in
France Of division Of 5000 Algerian troops,
ready to take the fed at once, who are 10 form the
nucleus of the new army Of Lyons.
A fact whieh may, however, have great weight
in what our Belgian contemporary calls "the su-
"preme effort Of diplomacy" is the declaration

CHURCH PROPERTY.

There will be found in our law column q curious
and interesting Gaze in relation to the property
held by the old and first Dutch Church in this
City, which, though by no means 50 large in
amount as that possessed by Trinity Church, seems
10 b. hardly lees an occasion of strife and eonten
ton. The present case is one brought by minis
ister Of one OF the other Dutch churches in the
CITY, if not in the name at least in the interest Of
oil the rest, claiming on the ground, We suppose,
that the first church is but the mother or root of
all the others, that though still alive, what prop
erty she holds by ancien. gift aud donation, prior
70 the breaking out Of the Dutch Protessants into
several churches ought not to 60 to her use alone,
but ought to be equally shared for the benefit of all
of them.
This claim Judge Davies knocks in the head, for
reasons equally multifarious if not contradictory,
with those urged iu the famou. Kettle case. In
the first place, il is denied that there is any such
property to divide. True, the old Dutch Church
did long ago take certain lands by devise; but they
were afterward sold BY act Of the Legislature, AID
nobody seems to know exactly where the proceeds
went 10. Second it is denied that the present
plaintiff took any interest under that devise, which
was TO the old Dutch churches, not TO any and al
new churches that might spring up nor to the
Dutch PrOtestants generally of the City. Third,
it is held that the original devise void, as being
against the statutes Of mortmain, aud that how
ever good the claim of the defendants may be by
long possession, neither they nor anybody else
can get up claim under the will. In addition to
these legal subttes, which quite nut to those
interested in such .ort of discussions-Judge Da-
vies is generally rich in that line-the report also
contains some curious ANTIQUARIAN information as
TO the history Of the old Dutch churches, and the
Dutch churches generally of the city.

The House yesterday refused to take up the bill
granting bounty lands to privateersmen in the War
of l6l2-Yeas 80 mot two-thirds), Nays II. The
Bounty Land business would seem to be about
played out--and it is high time.
The Post Office Appropriation bill then came up
and elected great many words Nothing was de-
cided. Finally, it was laid aside, and Mr..
Hughes tried to get in bill restoring the Tariff of
46; Mr.. Howard of Michigan moved a recess for
evening debate, but the House, after wasting some
time in confusion, adjourned.

The Senate yesterday stirred up the Assay Office
in our city, which being the only establishment Of
the nature of Mint which pays its own way, Is
naturally regarded with much suspicion and aver
sion, as though its solvency were in CONFIRMATION
of "the resolutions of '9S." Mr.. King moved that
all the net earnings of this Office over its expen-
ses, be appropriated to the enlargement and i'm
provement of its machinery, with view to coin
age therein. Mr.. Bgler of Pa. opposed this, and
Mr. Iverson Of Ca. being in the Chair ruled it out
Of order. Mr.. Clingman of n c. tried to have
it abolished altogether Nothing was decided.
