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

hberate themselves, and then left them TO complete
the work. That in doing this they may have de-
parted, to some extent, from the strict letter of
the programme which he had originally laid
down, argues nothing more than that their views
differed in those RESI- poets from his That he ac-
cepted the notifications which were made is the
best evidence that he was disposed to sacrifice his
own views TO n sincere desire TO promote their
welfare. That GARIBALDI should believe that a
monarch who had given such proofs of bis
goodwill was unfavorable TO the regehcra-
ton of Italy, would seem strange indeed
did we not know how profoundly even the best
minds are warped by prejudices, and that enthu-
siass are especially prone to hold narrow but in
tense convictions, which flash line of light only
in one direction, leaving all outside Of it in deep
shadow. To CAyoUR, Italy owes even profounder
debt Of gratitude than to LOUIS NAPOLEON He it
was who built up from the ruins of the old Repub-
lican party-of which MAzzlNI was the prophet and
GARIBALDI an lonored leader-a constitutional
party, resting its hopes upon Sardinia, and pa
tiently waiting, through long years of suffering,
until fitting opportunity should occur for the sue
cessiul assertion of those rights which had been
wresed from them by RADETsKY, in lS49. 1t was
TO his sagaciy and perseverance that the alliance
with France was perfected and made practically
operative, and it is only under the guidance of his
cautious craftsmanship that the Italians can hope
to have their liberties consolidated upon perma-
nent basis. The Jealous cooperation of FARISI
and his admirable executive ability are also well
known, and deservedly honored by all those true
- h. e Al
with which the Italian question has, from
the first, been surrounded, and the skill that
has been evinced in dsentangling them
Festina lente, 'make haste slowly is the
maxim by which CAvoUR has heen guided in his
public course, but GARIBALDI regulates it. He
sees the Austrians encamped in Venetia, and the
Pope protected in his possession of the patrimony
of st. Peter by French bayonets. He looks upon
the Kaiser, and upon the Pope--in his capacity of
temporal sovereign-as alike the enemies of Italy,
and counting more upon the enthusiasm of his
countrymen and the popularity of his cause than
upon the ability of Austria 10 resist an attack
or the religious influences at work to save the
Pope from being too deeply Inundated, he avows
his determination to precipitate his undisciplined
leves against the fortified places of the quadrilate
raj and against the gates of Rome ITSELF irrespec-
tive alike of the power Of Austria on the one
hand or of France on the other. If GARIBALDI
really contemplates challenging the array" in
the sense it was once understood by the pug
nacious brother of Sir JONAH HARRINGTON, it
needs no prophet to foretel that the at
tempt must end disastrously, and that it
will require all the craftsmanship of CAvoUR
and FARINI, all the forbearance of LOUIS NAPo-
LEON and all the influence of VIcToR EMMANUEL to
retrieve the rashness of the man with whom they
have thus far successfully co-operated, but who
now appears disposed to follow no counsels but
