Papacy may be stumbling block in the way OF
the federation of Italy. To destroy PaPacy is OUT
of the question, but Catholic and Protestant Europe
onght TO nulify its mischieyous interferences.
Invested with the absolutely honorary Presidency
of the Federation, Papacy will lose its sting,
and then only can itbe accepted by the Italians and
BY the common sense of Europe.
The feeble, vacating Plus TX. may, by timely
concessions, still preserve some respect Tor

Ifnot his nature, nor his WILL events have made HIM
cruel man. In almost all the wars of Italy, or OF
the Roman See, when Pope has invoked the
interference of one foreign power, 1T has been TO

in the name of Plus *, Italians, and more
especially his own subjects, have been shot

only what is feasible upon given data. In diplomacy
r. uts and solutions are obtained by concession and
admission as well as by exclusion. Europe, repre-
sented as she now is by crowned heads, or any
future Europe, has an undoubted right to establish
for her security new order of things, and to lay
down peacefully new political combinations. And
now the crowned heads for their own sake must do
