THE STATE OF EUROPE.

That great European War is looming on the
horizon of the Future, can hardly be doubted.
The newborn accord between the two great
German powers, after years of jealousy that
only stopped short of actual hostility, has pal
pape reference to the trying ordeal which is
felt to be approaching. France yearns for the
boundary OF the Rhine-at least her military
and other Napoleonists do-and that boundary
can only be reganed, as it was won and then
lost, by war. Italy would be free and united
but Austria, the Pope and the King of Naples
obstruct the attainment OF this end. The King
of Naples is evidently about to vanish the
Pope may or may not follow in his footsteps
but Austria, strong in her we'll drilled legions,
her frowning fOrtresses, is not SO easily dis
posed of. If the fall of Naples does not call
her to arms, the first demonstration of Carl.
baldi against the States of the Church certainly
will and then comes war with Upper Italy,
probably with France also. Only dear bread in
France and Government bankruptcy in Austria
seem likely to prevent this collision and
such obstacles have rarely proved insuperable
when the passions of rulers, the aspirations of
the military caste, counseed war. If Louis
Napoleon live year longer, great war is all
but inevitable.
Then :sthe Sick Man''-the Ottoman Empire
lis vIsibly in the agonies of disolution. The
subtlest statecraft, the banded power of West
ern Europe, cannot keep the breath in his
palsied body much longer. Turks will be
Turks-indolent, thriftless, mercless-the ru-
ler who compels them to treat the ssChristian
dogs' as human beings and fellow subjects is
In their eyes an imbecile and renegade to be
defed when out of sight, and despised at all
times. Bankrupt, decrept. .rottiDg silently,
irresistibly, the Turkish empire waits but
rupture of the French-EDglish alliance to dis
appear from Europe and the shores of the
Mediterranean. 1t will pass away in convul-
sion, but pass away it must ,and the world will
look brighter when it is gone.
On every hand, the portents of change are
visible-upmistakable Wars-revoIutions-
the recasiing of States and remarking of Ma
tional boundaries these are indicated as so
near that the oldest among us may reasonably
expect to witness them. The map of Europe
in 1864 will be very different from that of 1860:
That it may bear witness to free Hungary
and United and Independent Italy, is pre-
dicte by the prayers of millions and the
hopes of the generous and humane.

MIR. sREcK1NR1peE,s SPEECH.

The speech of John G. Breckenridge, in re-
ply to the otorrent of defamation'' poured up
on him, was delivered on Wednesday at Ash
land, the home of Henry Clay. The speech
opens with an apology for his appearance, and
an allusion to the Union, which was met with
great applause. Another apology for his treat
ment of Mr.. Guthrie is introduced, together
with dignified description of the manner in
which the nomination at Baltimore was forced
upon him. He valves the question of the
Convention by which can eminent citizen of
Illinois' was nominated. He thinks that that
question has been fully exhibited before the
American people, but is of the opinion that it
was devoid not only of the spirit of justice,
but OF the forms of regularity. A very sngu-
lar sentence, breathing with prophecy, we
quote as follows: 81 look .forerard ,cith pleas
are TO the prospects hare of serUing my country
in the Senate Of United States for the merit sir
gears" He denies having signed petition
for the pardon of old John Brown, and having
entertained Know N othing sentiments, and also
declares that he did not support Gen. Taylor,
in 1848, and explains his neglect to vote for
Cass and Butler, by little hunting anecdote.
He also, in few misty paragraphs, elaborates
his popular sovereignty record, and denies
that he was ever committed to that doctrine.
He endeavors to show the Inconsistency of Mr..
Douglas The charges of Mr.. Douglas that
the Kentuckian's party isa disunion party,
the speaker dismisses in few naughty and
dctatoral sentences, while he proceeds 10 re-
ply to the criticism of Mr.. Critteaden, in that
stateman's Louisville speech This portion
of the address is the most interesting part of
the oration. The speaker thinks there is
nothing in his career to justify the charge of
disunion, nor in the career Of his colleague,
General Lane, to whom he paid glowing eu-
logy, on the ':mutual admiration principle
introduced by the General in his Philadelphia
speech. Mr.. Breckenridge thinks the contest
one of principle, and to elaboration of the
principle involved-to wit protection for sla-
very in the Territories-a greater part of the
address is devoted. He is very lame on the
Disunion question-protesting that he is not
Disunionist, but failing altogether to answer
the questions put to Mr.. Douglas at Norfolk,
or to indicate what course he will pursue if
Lincoln is elected. On that subject he is as
silent as the grave. The N. Y. Times says =
stMr. Breckenridge merely yields to obvious
expediency in asserting his fealty to the u
Mon he affords us no assurance that his 10y
atty is genuine; or that he would withdraw
from the bad company he keeps, were he sat
isied that these dangerous plans were only
suspended and not abandoned. His honesty,
in short, is exclusively matter of policy.'

FOSTER STILL IN THE WOODS.

Gen. Foster, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, made speecii at Somerset on the
9th ult., that being the first place he was
heard of after he was lost in the woods at Cres-
son. According to report of his speech fur
nshed the Philadelphia Press, he advocated
the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. few
days, after, the Pennsylvania, the Breckin-
ridge organ, declared the statements of the
Press, to be false, and that Gen. Foster had
made no such remarks there elsew here
Its denial gains significance from the fact
that Gen. Foster himself was at that time in
Philadelphia, in communion with leaders of
the Breckinridge faction. Hereupon the Press
demands that Gen. Foster shall say whether
the report of his speech published by it cor
rect or not, ending its article thus:-
ssThe earnest friends of Judge Douglas
however they may depore Gen. Fosters weak
ness. in constantly consulting with the ene-
mics ofthat illuStrious statesman, gladly greet
ed his Somerset speech in favor of the great
principle of self Government and they stood,
and stand, ready to vote tor him on that avow-
al. But there must be no marked cards, no
loaded dice in this great game. Gen. Foster
cannot run upon two platforms. He cannot
make speech in Somerset and disavow it in
Philadelphia. He cannot get the tens of thou
sands of votes of the Douglas Democrats by
catering for the contemplate Breckinridge
minority. His silence might have carried
him through; but when he will talk, it must
be with no forked tongue. Does he stand by
his Somerset speech, or does he repudiate it
That is the question. He must answer it or
the people will do it for him in Oc.ober.''
