Suppose that those two men are doing their Ut

! article In the Constitutional newspaper OF that
date. As general rule the editorials OF The Con-
sfitutiOnHe are greatly Oyerrated, for their sisnl-
ca6ce. by FreDchmen, and eXtravagantly 50 BY
foreign correspondents. Consult in proof, the SEN
sstion articles of s basey selfdegraded editors for
the past eight years and compare them with the
acts of Government and facts of history in That time

GENTLY cultivated writing machines, utterly without

their names in full as the law directs, to their full

The article Of Wednesday, Constitutional de-
serves, it has attracted, more than Ordinary al
teniOn, for several reasons, one OF Which Is that II
is not written by any one of the superservceable
editors Of that sheet II was sent ia 10 them appa
renty from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 1t sets
forth the Italian policy of the Emperor as be ~shes
il 10 be understood for the day. The text of it will
have reached you by the Adratc, but in view OF the
legitimate sensation il has created here and indeed
throughout Europe, i make no apology for para
! graphing upon it, Note that its essential iDp)r-
tance tprnQs from the fact that il not an ordinary

parties against the EmperOrs Italian policy: bold III

Offensive L. e. the most diSrespectiul, Ito l.. ~ t.
arguments of the advocates ofAustria and the Pope
and Of the advocates OF the national Italian cause.
Then follows the defense of the Imperial policy. To
enforce the Vilafranca stpulatiOns by military
power would have been to substitute French Tor
Austrian supremacy in Italy, to the discomfort OF oil
Italy, of England, and of the general European SEN
timeDt for the advantage of Austria and of other
powers who would not, in return for such sacrl-
flee, grant their sympathy or confidence to
France. On the other hand, t. accept and
encourage the Italian movement that was,
in q sort, " consegusHt" of the Nilafranca
treaty, would have excited general dstrust. Hence
the course followed by Piedmont (Which has run 80
rapidly from Garibaldi and Sicily To Victor Eman-
uel and Napes) has been censured rather than APP
proved. To interfere in favor of Piedmont would
be TO provoke d general war; to intervene against
Piedmont would be q self contradiction lin view of
the late French campaign in Italy,; to let Austria
intervene in Italy would be to suffer an offensive
return toward past and deinitiyely lost situation;
TO Join with Sardinia would be % defy Europe and
league with revolution. As the moderator OF revo-
luton and dynastic ruler Napoleon is opposed to
| Sardinia; but as the child Of revolution and repre-
sentative Of the popular WILL he is a friend to the
| Italian movement; earnestly desiring peace-not
| fearing war; His position makes him the almost
natural pacifcator OF Europe, the arbiter OF the
stirring questions that at present keep the never
| balanced equilibrium Of Europe in an alarmlngy
| febrile state of dancea iiddeum The up;hot Of
the article is Let US have Congress On the whole,
| and with acceptance of necessarily qualifying cir
