GARIBALDI AT BOLOONA.—Garibaldi, on his way
to Venice, has paid a visit to Bologna, where, according to
the reports in the Italian papers, he was received with
the utmost enthusiasm. At the railway station he was met
by the Working Men's Society, the Roman emigrants,
with their respective banners, the Democratic Society, and
a vast crowd of people, who completely filled the building,
and among whom were many ladies. At sight of the
familiar red shirt enthusiasm we. immediately aroused,
and the friends of the general had some difficulty in open-
ing a passage for him from the carriage to the waiting.
room. Many people kissed his hand ; others
his clothes. Seeing upon one of the banners
the wolf with the twins, and on another the Roman eagle,
the general made some remarks respecting Rome. Pro-
fessor Filopanti, in reply, said that the duty of liberating
Rome belonged in the first place to those who remained
there, and in the second to the Roman exiles. If unfor-
tunately neither succeeded, the duty devolved upon all
Italians. and in such a case the government remain-
ing neutral, the nation would count upon the valour and
abnegation of Garibaldi. The general replied that it was
to be hoped this great object would be accomplished by
purely legal means ; that revolutionary means ought to be
reserved as a last resource, should the others fail.
He afterwards addressed the people from a window of hie
hotel. Again referring to Rome, he said that in accom-
plishing its liberation pacific and legal means ought to be
preferred. He recommended his hearers, therefore, to re-
turn men to parliament who had the interests of the
people at heart rather than those of the priests. The
priests hail no need of money, and the millions which
were to have been given to M. Duinonceau would be
better employed in affording work to poor operatives.
" Remember, above all things," concluded the general.
" not to vote for those who have always favoured the
priests."
