The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-10-11

Great as GARBALDI has undoubtedly proved
himself to be, as warrior, he has failed thus far
in exhibiting those qualities which the world looks
for in an able statesman. Loyal to VIcToR EN-
MANUEL, and faithful to his one cherished idea of
Italian unity, the new Dictator ofthe Two Sicilies
appears disposed to make war upon friends or foes
alike, whose calmer views of the difficulties of the
situation lead them 10 oppose some check to his
rash determination not to admit of the annexation
TO Sardinia, of the States which he has conquered
until he has expelled the Austrians from Vene,ia
and destroyed forever the temporal power of the
Pope With the sharp unreasonng decision that is
natural to man of his enthusiastic temperament
GAEIBALDI regards all diplomatists as knaves and
irickS!erS, and acts az if impressed with the con-
viction that they alone are honest who rest the
final settlement Of the Italian question on the arbi
trament the sword. Encouraged in these opin-
ions by the old supporters of MAzzINI, and dis
'rustful alike of CAvoUR and FARINI-the one for
consenting 20 concede Savoy and Nice TO France
and The other for advocating the immediate an
nexntion ofSiciy to Sardna--he has vehemently
urged upon VICToR ENNANUEL the removal
rom his councils of both those eminent men,
digniiied rebuke from the sovereign in whose
name he has fought and conquered. True patriot
as GAmBAlm unquestionably is, his very simpli-
city of character lays him open TO the designs of
those whose motives are less pure than his own,
or whose schemes are too visionary and imprac-
tcable TO be successfully carried out From such
friends and advisers everything is to be feared,
and nothing but the personal influence which
FlcToR EMMANuEL exerts over GARIBALDI can save
him from risking the loss of these laureIs which
he has so ably won, and which he SO emnently
deserves to wear. These dissensons amongst the
chief leaders, can have other result, if they are
continued, than to prolong the struggle, and give
strength TO that reactionary movement which has
already shown itself in some parts both of Naples
and Sicily. That the quarrel between GARIBALDI
and CAvoUR has animated the fugitive King Of
Naples with some hope of returning in triumph
TO the capital from which he fed so ANONYMOUSLY,
NAV be gathered from the tone of his recent
procIamation and from the fact that he still
fingers at Caeta, surrounded by troops upon whose
loyalty he may depend; whose courage, as
tested in one or two skirmishes recently in which
the Garibaldiaus were worsted is at least equal
10 that exhibited by their companions at the bat
tie of MelazZo, and who may yet serve as a nu-
cleus around which the adherents of the Neapoli-
tan Bourbon may rally. GARIBALDI imagines
that he has in LOUIS NAPOLEON, CAvoUR, and
FARM, three enemies, who, actuated by diverse
motives are striving TO thwart his plans for the
complete liberation of Italy. Yet to no three men
is he in reality more strongly indebted for remo-
wing the obstacles that might have brought his
victorious career 10 a summary close, and for the
fame which he has consequently acquired. With
out the aid of France, Sardinia would have been
in no condition 10 confront the Austrian masses
when they threw down the gage Of battle by
crossing the Ticino and laying waste the olive
groves OF Piedmont and had 1t not been for the
public declaration of the principle of non-inter-
vention, GABBALDI would have been ms I In Sicily
by very different sort Of soldiers than
those whom I, was his good fortune to encounter
there. A single word from LOUIS NAPOLEON
would have wrought at any moment such changes
IN the italian programme that Naples might have
sGll writhed beneath the despotism of the Bour-
hon. Austria might have still menaced the REQ
cupation Of her lost province of Lombardy; the
revolt in the Romagna might have been crushed
ont and the temporal dominions of the Pope pro-
tected from the attack alike of internal and external
,reyolutonists 1t was in the power Of LOUIS NApo-
LEON to have accomplished all this, but he did far
otherwise. he opened the way for the Italians to
