In the same paper Mr.. Everett speaks or
Sardinia as a second-rate power, Out sue
represents both physical and moral pow
er of the most formidable character. one
represents the Evolutionary hatred towards
the barbarian. the passionate longingso OF
Italy for political independence; the ier''u
dream of a patriotic nationality, when mas
clowed unsa,is6ed in the Italian lmagi-
nation for three or four hundred years.
Clothed in no Constitutional forms,-

Indictment of the cool observer,-this
feeling operates with so much the great

However, let US hope that the union which
will be begotten in the present struggle will
prepare the way for future harmony, aud
that confederation of independent States
may yet arise in Italy.
