summation Of the last formalities which
unite the destiries of the Two Sicilies with
those Of the rest of Italy On the 9Th Carl
baldi, accompanied by the Ministry, pre-
serted Victor Emanuel with the plebiscite,
which the King accepted, and thereupon issued
bis royal proclamation declaring the fact.
Thus, from the Alps to the southernmost point
of the Neapolitan kingd ON, constitutional insti'
buttons have asserted their supremacy, aud the
popular voice OF Italy has once more exerted
its proper influence In the choice of a ruler.
To the patriotism and 6rmness Of three
men-Cavour Victor Emanuel and Garioaldi-
this, the greatest event Of our time, Is due.
The reverence and admiration that we feel for
the berolsm of the latter must not detract from
the share which the two former had In bringing
it about 1t required patriot minister and
patriot king to clear away the preliminary
and the Liberation of Southern Italy. But
for the courage and diplomatic skill of
Cavour and the generous daring Of his master,
the ex Dictator would not have found the ex.
pulsion of the Bourbons from Naples matter
Of such easy accomplishment In risking the
conquests already achieved. in order that the
people of the Two Sicilies should not be left
out of the grand scheme Of Italian unity Victor
Emanuel and his Minister are entitled to a de-
gree of credit almost az great as that which IS
due to Garib Adj himself. The seizure of Um-
bria and the Marches, and the speech delivered
by Count Cavour in the Sandman Parliament,
were steps as bold and involved quite as much
risk as the conquest of Naples. But for the de-
cided tone of the declaration conveyed to the
Emperor Alexander by Louis Napoleon, pre-
vious to the Warsaw conference, they might
have provoked Austria to assume the offensive
with fair chance OF being backed by Russia
and Prussia
The manner in which Garibaldi transferred
bis authority to Victor Emanuel amply COM
pensates for the momentary alteration which
induced him to listen to the arguments Of the
Mazzpi party. As will be seen by our advces
it was done frankly, cordially and without the
smallest reservation. All the obnoxious ap-
pointments made by him had previously been
revoked and to mark his entire faith in the
ruler whom his heroism had given to the people
of Southern Italy, be entered Naples in the
came carriage with the King, and in speech
subsequently made to the Hung arian soldiers he
gave full expression to the feelings Of devotion
and confidence with which he regarded him.
This duty accomplished, like another Cincin-
natus, be retired to his farm on the island Of
Caprera, his last visit in Naples being paid to
the English Admiral Munday. So impressive
spectacle as this has not before been witnessed
in our day II takes lis back to the grand old
classic times when men valued power merely
for the services which it enabled them to
render to their country.
For the present all fears Of collision with
Austria would appear to be set at rest. The
Instructions given to the French Admiral at
Gaets, and which 1t will be seen were near
leading to an attack upon the Neapolitan feet,
have no doubt convinced Garibaldi, II he was
not before satisfied Of the fact that bis pro-
jected attack upon Venice must bide .
more favorable copjuncture Of circums. ances.
II Is evident that the French Emperor Is
not at all satisfied with the turn events
have taken In Southern Italy, and that
it would require but email inducement TO
effect On entire change in his policy. Under
such circumstances Count Cavour Is too saga
oious a statefman to push matters farther at
present. He knows that time will effect for
Venice what the sword has accomplished for
the rest Of Italy. Austria is too heavily en-
barraseed to be able to keep up her present
enormous ornaments, and before many months
are expired it is probable that che will herself
propose some amicable arrangement which
will restore the venetians to the great Italian
family. The Roman question WILL we fear,
poleon seems to have designs in connection
with it, which will render French interference
as sore blister as ever to the Italian people.
