Critical Coaditiea Of AnAirs In Italy
Red RsPubiicsnism Again Raising les
HeaA
The advioes received by the City Of Balti-
more confirm the impression that the rupture
between Garibaldi and Count Csvour d likely
to lead TO the most serious consequences. With
the decided views entertained by both there
seems to be no chance Of reconcilement OF
their respective policies. The Sandman Pre-
mier believes that the wsrk of revolution has
been carried a. far as Is consistent with the
broad Italian view of the subject, and looks
upon the work Of national independence as but
half accomplished 90 long as any por-
ton of the italian people are left enslaved. To
accomplish their liberation he would risk all
that has been already gained; and, consider
ing the wonders that he has already achieved, We
have no right to say that he proposes to him
self an impossible task. II is, however, less
with the prudence Of his resolves than with
the consequences likely to result from the se-
paration of his policy from that Of Sardinia
that we have now to deal. Although the
attack upon Venice would inevitably lead to a
war Of the most formidable proportions, there
is far less risk to the cause Of Italian independ-
ence in such an eventuality than in the opposi.
ton Of interests which is being brought about
by the apparently irreconcileable differences
which have sprung up between him and the Tu-
rim Cabinet. The effect is to divide and weaken
the patriotic sentiment Of Italy and to increase
the chances Of reactionary movement We
see its influence in the statement contained in
the last news, that the republican cause WAS
gaining ground in Naples, and that the Dictator
was inclining favorable ear to its arguments.
Now il is evident that, unless efforts be at
once made to patch up the difficulties between
the Sandman government and Garibaldi, the
latter will be won over to the views Of the red
stead Of the Two Siciles being annexed to Sar-
dina, they will receive republican institutions,
and be rendered the general refuge OF all the rest
less and discontinued spirits of Europe. What the
effect Of such state of things will be on the other
continental populations may be judged Of By
spread from country to country in lsiS. In
France red republicanism, though scotched, is
not dead, and only awaits favorable oppor-
tunity to again emerge from its hiding places.
The German republicans do not give signs Of life,
but they are not the less eagerly watching the
progress of events in Italy. Hungary is ripe
for revolt, and the government feels in such
state OF insecurity there that all the garrisons
have been replaced on war footing. Even
the newly annexed provinces Of Sardinia would
not be insensible to the republican infection,
their fresh born loyalty being sure to be over
powered by the appeals Of the man whom they
regard as a sort of demi god.
Thus the unity of Italy is placed be-
tween two dangers-that Of a too precipitate
advance to the fulflment of its objects by
an attack upon Venice, and Of a division
Of its interests by the reputation by Carl
baldi Of the policy of France and Sardinia.
In ether case war Is inevitable, aud II will be for
Victor Emanuel to choose whether he wilt con-
tinue to unite his fortunes with thoee OF his
compatriots who have elevated him to his pre-
sent proud position, or await the chances OF the
reactionary combination which the unfuriing of
the red republican flag will be sure to provoke
amongst the continental despois A bold
policy is, in our opinion, the only one for the
King TO pursue under the circumstances. II is
better to brave the power Of Austria, even
though unsupported by France, than to break
up the bonds that at present unite all the Italian
populations, and thus give to the red republi.
cans the chance Of running the liberties which
they have so calamity won.
Either alternative, 1t viii be seen, involves
conflict Of formidable proportions and OF IN.
certain duration. There is>but one thing that
can avert it and that is chance too remote to
dwell upon. The sale Of Venice to Sardinia Is
compromise Of such obvious and pressing ex-
pedency and prudence that Austrian statesmen,
with their Characteristic blindness are sure only
to appreciate its wisdom when it Is too late to
effect It.
