More Enrnnean Pilihnstering.

The apparent success of the French filli-
clustering movement in Mexico, together
probably with some direct influence of the
Emperor NAPOLEON on Queen Isabella,
seems to have started in Spain measures of
an aggressive character against the govern
ment of Peru and Chill These Republics,
occupying large proportion of the Pacific
coast of South America, were formerly col
onies dependent on the Spanish Government,
but for over fcrty years have been indepen-
dent States. The present difficulty with
Peru arises from the presentation OF an alb
surd claim of eighty millions of dollars by
Spain for expenses and losses incurred dur
ing the war of independence, forty years
ago. Peru, OF course, refuses the unreason-
able demand For the sake of peace she
had agreed to pay an equally unjust demand
of three millions, made for the expense of
an expedition sent out by Spain in 1868,
under some ambiguous preienca. But the
new head of the Spanish ministry, Marshal
O'DoNNELL, disregards this arrangement,
and picks a quarrel on the round sum of
eighty millions The difficulty with Chill
grew out of the neutrality laws of that couu-
try refusing coal, as contraband of war, TO
Spanish vessels, These hostile demonstra-
tions give ground for suspicion of determin-
ed iihbustering intentions on the part Of
Spain, and apparently those Of the same
sort which have been exhibited in Mexico.
The subserviency Of Spain to Louis NAPo-
LEON, and the character OF 0'DoNNELL,
render the suspicion almost conviction.
The Monroe doctrine, therefore, may per-
haps yet have something to do, besides be-
ing talked about. Our Pacific possessions
would be not quite as secure as they are,
should European Empires line al! the rest
of the coast

The Position Of ( Kantnoky.

The present condition Of Kentucky is 4
very peculiar one, and presents many diff
c}.Ities and some curious Inconsistencies and
perplexities. Notwithstanding that strong
tide OF public feeling which has virtually d
bolished slavery within the limits OF the e.
nlteo States, Kentucky is really stilI Slave
State! Ih2 institution has never been abol-
IShed, and Is stiii the law OF the land and

ties OF the tiiae and the circumstances OF the
case, are content, even nXious, to enroll
themselves under the ney, banner, and ac-
cept the new watchword--ireedoin, pro gress,

The recent proclamation of the President,
removing the restraint Of martial law, is ad-
mirably fitted to the present condition Of the
State, for although recognizing the fact
that war no longer exists, and that Ken
tucky is again included in the peaceful SIS
terhood OF States, the order is SO limited as
to leave hesuspension OF the writ of h15eas
corpus still intact and effectual, and while
restoring the laws TO their Original supre-
macy sill maintaining this cheek upon

well adapted to the disturbed and unsettled
condition Of the community, and is com
piete presentation OF the state OF transaction
in the political, moral, ana mental status of
the people.
Kentucky seems flted to be always the
chosen ground of conflict; and the warfare
between ancient prejudice and the spirit of
progress and freedom viii find fitting place,
and we hope final adjustment, within her
borders The iattle is already commenced

that the South is indebted to the Democrat
ie party for its present destitute and humili-

the Southern people were seduced from their

he enumerates the prominent measures BY
which the rebellion was fashioned and set in
