16s~ We believe some anonymous correspondent Of
the Herald Of this place has been referring to the editor
or one of the editors of the Journal apropos of Amos
Kendall. Whatever the age Of the editor referred to
may be, las single man he keeps that to hmsef) he
has lived and been in public, quasi public ie alto
gether too long to engage in any controversy with
masked opponent, especially when that controversy al
the very outset assumes something of personal char
acter. He trusts that his as political edto,
has always been such as to ente him to claim and re
ceive all the fair and proper amenities of the potica
arena and that hereafter no anonymous personal refer
ences will be tolerated inserted in any paper witt
which the Journal exchanges. The editors of the jour
mat have some right to expect this, because their
changes can bear witness that they ask no more fron
others than they themselves have always been willing
accord. We know that the gentlemanly editor of tn
Herald will appreciate and respond to the justice of GU
remarks.

ton that forces US to differ so widely from him.

GaribaIdi.

Garibadi is going it, we think little too fast, when
he threatens to proclaim the annexation of all Italy from
the dome of the Quirina The Qulrinal is of the
hills of Rome, whether invested with peculiar sacredness
or surrounded by remarkable political historical as
socations we do not now remember. His boast, how
ever, taken in connection with the invasion of the
papal territories by the troops of Victor Emmanuel,
means simply that the temporal dominion of the
Pope is to cease and that Rome is to become a
city of the Kingdom of Italy under the dominion
of Victor Emanuel. It remains to be seen how
this thing will work. How Louis Napoleon will recon
Gle this with bis own occupancy of Rome for the pur
pose of maintaining the Pope in that power to which
French egons restored him. 1t remains to be seen how
Austria and Russia after their reestablshed entente
cordial will act. How the Catholic world generally will
look upon the movement, for may be assured that
there never was tide without refux-never ex-
ctement without reaction, and the reaction in this
case is bound to come Moderation is sometimes the
best wisdom.

ITALY.-Garibaldi is in Naples, and the last of the
Bourbons has fled With the exception of remnant
of the Papal Provinces and the Austrian Kingdom of
Venetia the former state of things has passed away
The Duches are no more. The Romagna is now a
Province of the Sandman Kingdom. Naples and Sicily
have declared for Victor Emmanuel as King of Italy,
whose nominal authority will thus extend over some
twenty-one twenty-five millions of people, So far,
all has gone smoothly enough The real difficulties have
yet to be encountered The eaouses of sections to be
leconced-the vindctiveness of parties to be moder-
ated-the Red Republicans to be kept in contro-coun
terrevolutions to be guarded against.
Italian natonality has been talked about, but never
realized fully since the fall of the Roman Empire. LON

It is true their anguage-ther Uren languages the

The Mazzinians-the Carbonari, look to the unity o
Italy simply as step towards repubicanism and thai
