When Paul reached Appii Forum, upon his
Wa. to Rome, he thanked God and took cour-
age" THIS national holiday is like station in
a journey. From it, looking back upon what has
been done for, Freedom within the last twelve
months, we may thank God aud take fresh cour.
age for the future.
Abroad and At home the retrospect Of the past
year is as cheering as the prospect is encouraging
for the coming year. Upon the llth of July last
the treaty of Viilafranca was signed That treaty
was for monthsa mystery. Napo!eon's admirers
commended it. They said the Emperor had
really gained for his Italian allies all that he had
promised, and that he refrained from further
bloodshed because it was useless, although he
might have added immensely to his renown had
he prosecuted the war. His enemies said he had
proved as false to Italy as he had to France, that
he had weakly deserted the cause he had under
taken just when triumph was at hand. To the
former the treaty seemed the prcscience OF wise
craftsmanship, to the latter the prompting Of
weak rcachery. Whatever may have been the
meaning Of the treaty. of its results there can be
but one opinion. Power and territory have been
added to Constitutional Monarchy by an exer-
else of the elective franchise. The great prirci-
pie that the people have the right to caoose their
rulers has been sanctioned by France, and Aus
tria has been compelled to admit it. To Victor
Emanuel the treaty of Villatranca has brought
loving subjects and rich domain. To the peo-
pie OF Lombardy it has brought, ~ we have said,
the acknowledgment Of their right to choose
their rulers, and it has brought besides Con.
stitutionel Monarchy to replace despotisn. To
Italy it has brought the hopes Of "United
Italy" To the world it has brought promise Of
the regeneration Of the land Of Cicero and JUS

Shall we not, then, look upon this treaty - q
word for freedom hardly less potential in Italy
than was that whose utterance we to-day COM
memorate in the Old Thirteen Colonies.
AT the close Of the Italian war Napoleon said
to his soldiers: ''Italy will hcncetorth be mistress
Of her own destinies, and it will be her own
fault ii she does not make progress in order and
liberty"
This hint would have suficed for one less i'm
petuous than Garibaldi. That he understood it
Is demonstrated in the refusal Of the great pow
ers to mediate between the patriots who have
captured Palermo and the despots they have
driven cut. What Garibaldi has already accom-
plshed in Sicily has thrilled with JOY the hcarts
Of all true men everywhere. To day the uniyer.
sal joy Of this people will he heightened, and
their interest in the achievements Of the fathers
OF the Revolution intensified, rs they think upon
the noble Italians whom Garibaldi leads
We are hopeful OF the future OF Italy. The
past wear has given us confidence in the year TO
come. The p sition already achieved seems .
secure one We DO not think she can BIZ forced
