Emigration from Italy TO Greece.
A letter from Greece in October last |
says, "Perhaps it is not generally known
that there are numbers of Italians every
year coming TO these parts from Laly,
and especially from the papal States, be-
cause they cannot endure papal Cypress
ion. Poor, oppressed, and benigAted |
Ltaiyl who. cares for her twenty millions
of perishing soulsl" If we supposed
that our paper would by any means reach
the eye of his holiness, or any informa-
ton it may contain be, through any chan
ueI poured into his ear, we should be
tempted TO suppress this article, lest we
should awaken his suspicious about this
emigratforE and lead him TO endeavor to
stop ii, as Charles of England did the
emf grafton to this country Yet should
he attempt it, he might find, as Charles
did, that he was covering up the materials
of an explosion which will work his ruin.
Though the Pope may have we'll nigh
succeeded in extinguIshing the sparks of
piety in his doninions, he cannot annihi-
late the principles of the human mind
There is point beyond which the mind
cannot well be crushed 1t may endure
terrible burdens-but there is a point at
which desperation, succeeds endurance
and where it is almost certain to rise and
crush its oppressor. Italian oppressors
should remember this-and American
Republicans would do we'll not to forget
it.-ZiQn's Advocate.
