The Aardinian Mission.
Our readers are aware that Mr.. BuRL1N-
oAMR, the other day, offered . resolution In
the House Of Representatives, irstruc,ing the
Committee on Foreign Affairs to inquire in to
the expediency Of raising the Sandman
Chareeship to a flret-class mission. We have
little doubt that Mr.. Il. looked forward to the
time when Black Republican President shall
fiji the throne, and hopes to be himself, or
see some one Of his friends, the incumbent Of
that mission. Still, good often comes of sell
hshness, aud in this case we believe Mr.. b. is
right. 1t is proper that the United States
should be the first to pay that much attention
to those noble Italian States, which have made
such successful attempt at self-government
1t was the United States that first adopted the
policy of acknowledging, in every instance,
the existing government of every country.
thereby giving the strongest sanction to the
doctrine Of non-interference, and assuring all
nations that it was no business of ours what
they did in their domestic concerns. The Pow
ers Of Europe for long time took the opposite
course. England refused to acknowledge the
French Republic, as though it were any busi-
ness of hers what government the French
people chose to institute In the same spirii,
she thought proper to ignore the existence Of
the French Empire altogether and insisted
with execrable littleness--upon insulting the
fallen Emperor Of the French, when a
prisoner in her hands and entirely help
less, by calling him General BONAPARTE."
Our conduct has taught the whole world
better line of policy and better man
ners. The doctrine of nOn-interference is
now the accepted doctrine, and all the nations
acknowledge the government de facto-
We should hasten to acknowledge the present
position Of States lately independent, but
now forming 4 part of Sardinia, and We can
do it by raising our legation to the dignity
Of first -class mission better than in any other
way. We thereby recognize Sardinia as a
Great Power among the GreaePowers of Eu-
rope.
So far as the relations of the two countries
are directly concerned, Sardinia deserves to be
honored by such mission more than any other
Power in Europe, with the exception of Eng
land and France. The country bordering upon
the Tuscan Sea has been thrown open to
commerce, and under such a government as
that Of VICTOR EMANUEL, and such tariff as
that prepared by CAvoUR in 1854, admitting
raw materials of every description almost at
nominal prices, a most active trade must i'm
medalely spring up. The Kingdom of Sar-
DINA, including Lombardy, Tuscany, Bologna,
Modena, Ferrara, &c, is, 1T this moment, the
most productive country, perhaps, on the face
OF the globe. 1t requires nothing but the ex-
tension of CAvOUR's tariff to the newly ac-
CURED sea shore TO create trade, such as Italy
| never enjoyed, even when Venice was in
her prime, and did the carrying trade of half
the world. This trade will owe far the larger
portion of its increase to America. Cotton,
the great staple Of nations, will rule in the
marts OF Sardinia, as it does in every other
portion Of the civilized world. Even now, in
the city of Genoa alone, the cotton mauufac.
tory employs forty thousand hands, and so
many other ports being thrown open, the sue
cess Of the late annexation cannot but be re-
garded as an event of great importance to us.
We are told that the tonnage of Genoa is
greater than that Of any other city in Europe
London and Liverpool alone excepted.
The restoration of no other nation in the
world could have had such an effect upon COM
merce. No other ever existed that had a
greater capacity. AT time when all the rest
Of Europe was engaged in warning upon the
Saracens and Turks, one little italian State
occupied the same position with regard to
Europe that Tyre did with regard to the
Eastern World. 1t was the factor Of the ma
tons. 1t did their transportation, and fur.

pie was manifested in the creation Of means
and appliances for carrying on trade, not less
than In literature and the fine arts. After
long years of slumber, under a good govern
ment and the most suspicious circumstances,
they have once more walked up and taken their
station among the nations of the earth. It
was feared by some-hoped by others-that
centuries Of distrac ton, followed by ages of
oppression, had abated somewhat of their
natural force, and caused them to degenerate
from the standard of their fathers. They have
already given proof that there need be no
apprehension in this respect And if they
have not degenerated politically, neither have
they in other respects. There is reason to be-
leve that the whole Kingdom of Sardinia,
from Bologna to the Alps, will soon be alive
with manufactures, and that q trade will
spring up with this country not second in i'm
portance to any that Italy has ever enjoyed,
even in the palmy days of Venice and Genoa.
