clare publicly the which they and their friend5
situated where freedom Of expression prohibited in
tend 10 pusue in the crisis arising in Italy. They
believe it 70 be a Cuty the more sacred, nasmucb
they see with profound regret that belong
ing 10 the feih are led away by illusions, honor
abe in Themselves, but proved to be fatal, from the
right path aud the flag Of their party. They believe
this 10 be the Necessary, as By misreprssenta
ton and by cslu nnies which cast dishonor the
Itesn cause the republicans run the rex Of seeing
their intentions frustrated their denanos exsgge-
rated On the suppOsitiOn more than probable tnat
a war will take place IN Italy, between Austria on the
one hard ard IT, PedmC nteee monarchy and Imperial
France on the other the undersigned, convinced
That d people IS no. IegCner8ted and does not be-
come nation by means Of lie, but by me ans OF
principles, and profound attAchment to truth, and
couraesously manifested consciousness Of right;
That the unity and Liberty Of an oppressed and dis
Tnebered people cannot be obtained from the cOncss
zion and gift Of Others bat is conquered by the active
e1eItioIs and feli-sacdfce Of those who believe IN
them;
Tnat pstionality cannot be founded by foreign
arm T. but only by the struggles OF those who are 10
compose aLd represent 1T
That higher tran all policy, higher than al dubious
exDeCieLcy, il the eternal law OF morality, and the aD
soute duty of betrayug tnas faith 10 Justice and
truth which is tie foundation Of every good impress
zion and the pledge of victory,
That by rsnoui cirg the moral principle arising from
right party ceEIoys its own future, lses All title TO
the COZ deuce of the people 10 which IT beOngs acd
falls in the estimation Of the nations with which il
ought TO be allied;
That without unity there is such thing az coun-
fry: that Yithout national independence nation has
no existence: that without lberty-hberty real and
uriverss-there ID no sGcb tting as independence;
TIA the country of the Italian comprises all the
country between the Alps and the southern shore Of
Sicily;
That national independence consists in the free cloce
by the votes Of the cuzens OF the institutions that
to give shape 70 the nDer life Of the ration
That the independence Of people can only exist
and be secure not under the Interested, ambitious
ard OishOrOrsble protection OF foreign tyrant, but
by the virtue tne people, its cOnscOusLess OF ITS
power and by the iraterrai alliance OF surround
ing nations;
That if a people can, without compromising their
own rights succumb for time, reluctant and ret,st
irg TO an Irresistible s0vertlty, 1t cannot, without re-
suCting or weakening It's own case In the face OF the
word, rise IN srins with programme OF haitmeasures
ana compromises
Tnat sithough people may, and ought, silently
ard unapprOviI ely to take the opportunity afforded
by any change imposed upon A., to advance one step
nearer to the rational aim 1t cannot without loss
shame, and crime aTise to bear solemn testimony OF
bsttle ard sacrifice under flag which piOclains the
mutatiOu Of that sac1 ell AIM
Finally and in cOnst quepcs Of these principles, that
every war in which the Italians should fight IN the
name of Independence, apart from Liberty would
only lead 10 terrible decisions and TO the substitution
OF new masters for old -
That every war in which the Italians shonld be de-
lUGed y the hope of cor querng liberty and indepen
deuoe under the auspices by the aid OF Louis Ma
poeon BOnapaTte would be guilty OF suicidal weak
S. should he attempt plant by the force oil arms IN
Italy the liberty which IN France ne drowned IN
blood: a crime because alliance with despOtism IS
treason 10 the principles which Justify and sanctlfy
the cause OF Italy breaks the bonds of international
brotherhood which make that cause the cause OF
Europe and tears down tbs national flag from the
e. .s.t.N IL.
eeifsbness, crime, and a heinOus crime, because
I.0uis Napoleon Bonapsrte, aiming at concllanng
French public opinion, which becomes every DAY more
hostile TO him, and at fascinating by military
glory ard territorial acquisitions minds desrous oil
liberty medtates decent on Italy only for the par
pore Of gbining territorial rewards for his supporters
ard throne for junior branch OF his dynasty aud
Of canyiIg into effect the Nep0leomc i'ea OF max

That between the combatapts for Italian liberty aud
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is fixed gull impossible
and eternsl-the blood Of Rome
That where The cry is not Out with the foreigner,
but ouly Goa, with the Austrian, the val Is not,
and cannot become national
That war undertaken in alliance with Louis Ma
poleon BUnap8Ite and for his purposes cannot hsys
icr IFS object the unity Of tay-sn object directly OPP
pCsed 10 his ambitious views, and by him declared
impossible;
That an iusurrectonsry war by one fraction Of
Italy on It's own behalf, leaving the rest prey to
tyrsuuy, nisgovernment and ACKNOWLEDGMENT, would
and OR future;
That an alliance Of the Pisdmoutese monarchy with
Louis Napoleon BuOn8ps would Ist once produce an
European coalition sgainst the cause patr0nlzed Dy
him for his own ends and that the probability o:
such an alliance has already lost to ay much OF the
sympathy sith which all Europe was disposed to
regard her cause.
These things taken into consideration the under
