eut at the festival. Tell me--does the minds eye
see that vision which tomorrow will be realityi
But it is done. All that falsehood, fcti n
darkness and ashes is dispersed. Italy lives, Itn
ily is Italy That which was geographical term
is now a nation. That which was lifeloss corpse
is now a living soul. That which waa a spectre !:
now an archangel the mighty archaugel Of peo
pies Liberty Liberty erect with outstrctched
wings. Italy tho NOBLE Italy, that slept in death
is now awake again.
Look at her, she rises and smiles upon the human
race. She cries to Greece am thy daughter tc
France. l am thy mother. She has around her
her poets, her orators, her artists, her philOso-
phcrs--a those councillors Of humanity, all those
members Of the senate Of ages, and on her right
and on her left those two awful grandeurs-Dante
and Michael Angelo. Oh since politicians love
the words, this shall be the majestic of fats
accompiis. What triumph, what advent
what wonderful phenomenon Unity with sin
gle Gash of tightening passing through the sistei
cities of Milan, Turin, Genoa, Florence, Bologna
PISA, SIENNA Verona, Parma, Palermo, Mossina
Naples, Venice, Rome
Italy arises, Italy is in motion, paiuH dea, SHE
bursts forth, she hparts 20 the progress of the en-
tire world the great and joyous fever of her genius
and while Europe is electrified by this marvellou
glare of light, there shall be less ecstacy in
the eye Of peoples, no less sublime reverberatior
on their brow, no loss dazzlement through this
new light that shall fall upon the earth than if a
new star should shine forth from the heavens
Liberators are great. Let the grateful acclama'

tunes. Yesterday wo gave tears, day we sing
hosannahs. Providence thus establishes the equi-
brium. John Brown succum5s in America, but
Carl aldi triumphs in Europe. Humanity stand
ing in consternasi before the Infamous gibbet Of
Charlostown, is reassured before the cleaning
sword of Calatifni.
o brothers in humonity, this is the hour Of JOY
ard congratulation. Les us put aside all shades
Of ezclusiveness, all political differences, which
in u moment like this, are so little. At the pres.
ent saoret hour, let us fix our eyes exclusively up
on that holy work that solemn object,-the vast
day spring of enfranchised nations, and let us
send forth the sentiment Of our united hearts il
ono formidable cry-worthy of the human race
Tice la Li6erte.' Yes, since America, alas, sui
enly conservative of slavery, bends towards dark
ness, let Europe illuminate herself. Yes let that
civilization Of the old continent which has abolish
ed superstition by Pascal slavery by Wilberforce,
and the scafOld by Beccaria, yes, let that elder
civilization reappear with its splendor, which can
never be again exsinguished and let it erect above
mankind its ancient pharos composed of three
grand hames-France, England, and Italy.
Gentlemen one word more. Let US not leave
this Sicily without throwing on her last regard.
What is to be the conclusion of this splendid epo-
pee? What is to rise out of it? A moral law,
noble law and that law is this-Force ceases to
exist No, force is no more. Right alone exists.
There are now only principles, only peoples, only
soulsthose forces of the ideal here, below, there
is only conscience, and Providence above. And
what is force What is the sword Who amongst
those who think feels terror at the sword Ger
tainly not we-the free men Of France ; certainly
not you--the free men of England. The sentiment
of right causes the head to be borne erect. Force
and the sword are nothing. The sword is but a
hideous flash in the darkness--A swift and tragic
al phantusm. Right is an eternal ray right is
the permanence of truth in the soul right is God
living in man. Hence is it that where right ex.
lists there is the certitude of triumph. A man,
a single man, who has right may be named Legion;
single sword accompanied by rights a thunder
bolt.
To speak Of right is to speak of victory. Obsta-
cles there are none; no, there none. There
can be no veto against the will of the future. See
how resistance stands in Europe. Austria is
stricken with paralysis, and resignation is coming
upon Russia. Look at Naples. She struggles IN
vain the dying past wasts its labor. The sword
evaporates in smoke. Those creatures called Lam
"a Landi. Aquila-are phantoms. AT the pres
ent hour Francis II fances perhaps he still ex,
lists. lie deceives himself. tell you here that
he is nothing but a shadow. In vain he refuses
to captulate in vain he assassinates NJ Messina as
he has assassinated Palermo in vain he cliugs
to his attrocities--there is an end of him he has
resigned, and the dark horses of exile are now
paving at his palace gates. Gentlemen I tell you
that right alone exists. Would you compare right
with force listen to these figures.
On the 1lth of May 800 men landed at Marsala;
twenty seven days atterwards-the 9TH of June--at
Palermo, II 900 terrified men demanded permis-
sion to embark. The 800 represented Right, the
100 represented Fovce. o let the suffering
wherever they may be, console themselves let
those in chains take heart. All that is passing
now is logical. Yes Hope is coming on the four
winds of the horizon. Let the MouscL, let the
Felab, let the serf let the pariah let the purchas
ed negro let the white slave hope Chains are
net work whose meshes hold together-if one is
broken all is undone. Hence the solidarity OF des-
potisms The Pope is more the brother of the
Sultan than he fancies. But, repeat, the end is
come. Oh, how admirable is the force of circum-
stances.
There is something superhuman in deliverance.
Liberty is divine abyss, which attracts. The
irresistible is at the bottom of revolutions. Pro
gress is nothing else than phenomenon of grav-
tation. Who then shall arrest it? Once the i'm
