universal brotherhood, is the ultimate object
which is always uppermost in the mind of a
European Radical. The speech referred to is

Desnotism is lie. and lie must be odious |
even to those who have not directly experience

The only remedy which l know of against
despotsm is the universal brotherhood OF free
people The General then submitted te the
Congress a programme in which he advocated
the creation ola general and permanent assem-
ely in which all nations should be represented,
to judge and decide upon all national contro-
pernicious of sects; the founding of the religion
otGod-that W as to say,tf religion oftruth and
reason on earth, and priesthood fgenius and
intellect instead of priesthood of ignorance
and revelations. Moral propagandism and the
spread of education, and war in the only case
in which war is lawful-the defence of the
weak and the oppressed against tyrants-were
the means by which these objects were to be
accomplished
AT Orvieto, on his way to Geneva, Garibaldi
addressed q crowd, which had assembled be-
fore the Hotel des Beaux Arts, from one of the
windows. The following report of his speech
appeared in the Orvieto correspondence of La
| Riforma:
| cherish grateful recollection of this dear
| people. have had occasion to see them in
| times OF more difficulty than the present
| times of peril and of fear. | have seen them,
| when certain Jesuits would have shut the
| gates against US, insist upon their rights, and
| af0rdng an asylum to the wreck of liberty
| the defenders of Rome. [Cries of Rome or
Death.J No, it is no longer Rome or death;
it is Rome and life." Our enemies are not
only 5he priests, our chief enemy is the French
Emperor Who prevents us from going to
Rome? The priests. Who else? Tue French
Emperor. (Cres of death to the Emperor,
Death to BoNAPARTE' Don't confound the
nation with Bonaparte. The nation is
great and generous; the nation is
with us; all nations are sisters
[Cries of ITO Rome to Rome"] We are told
there are 10000 there. If we make new APP
peal we shall not be 10000, but one million,
and united with brave army we shall accom-
plish our redemption. Frenzed applause.
Many of us are accustomed to the fire of bat
tie, but we shall not bestow the honor of the
biyonet on mercenaries and priests. We shall
bundle them out with the butt ends of our
| guns. Cries OF "Out with the Priests"
| Death 10 the Priests"l These people have
hn daft Of
| pie on earth. True, true.'l International
| right permits the Romans to revolt 1t allows
| them 10 rise out of the mud into which the
| Jesuits have flung them.
| No wonder the Italian Government arrested
him! A man who can talk like that is dam
gerous, more dangerous perhaps in prison than
at large on parole, so that after arresting him
there was nothing to be done but to let him
go again, as we are assured by telegraph. A
troublesome article for kings and popes to deal
with explosive like gunpowder, and liable TO
do mischief unless carefully handled.
Nor long ago we published sort of Declar-
alton of Independence, emanating from the
yeomanry of New Julesburg, a city located"
somewhere out West. We say Somewhere"
for dispute as to the precise locality was
what gave occasion for the good people to de-
clare themselves independent Nebraska
aud Colorado both claimed the infant metrop-
oils. The difficulties still continue, and there
are now five parties among the citizens on the
question of government An exchange enum-
crates them as follows:
Some claim that they are part and parcel of
| Nebraska and are in Cheyenne County of that
State and advocate the immediate organiza-
ton OF the county by the appointment ofcoun-
| ty officers by the Governor of Nebraska. 9th
| ers, with equal tenacity, hold that the city is
| in Weld County, Colorado, and are equally
| anxious for the extension of the jurisdiction of
| the officers of that county over them. Others
| again are supporters of the first Independent
! Government organized there by the citizens of
the place. only few months ago, and still q
fourth party are anxious for the installation of
the officers recently elected by the gamblers
on the so-ealled peoples ticket" A fifth par
| ~ wish no Government at ALL The Govern
ment in existence has very little power and
crime runs wild. This grows out of the fact
that the roushs of all the neighboring States
and Territories are congregated there. II is
| low estimate to say hat nearly or quite a
| fourth of the entire population deserve capital
| punishment 1t ought to be no difficult mat
| ter TO determine whether it belongs to Colora-
| do or Nebraska. A good engineer might take
the necessary observations almost any day or
night as the sky is almost constantly cloudless.
PoLIrIcAL PRICES CuRRENT-The following
statement from an exchange is accurate and
| just:
A Democratic journal remarks that the Gre
publicans attribute the losses to their party in
Maine to increased love for whskey; we rather
| deem it an increased loye of Democratic prin-
| ciples." Here is distinction without differ
| ence; for we all know that-as the market re-
| porters say-when whskey is easy Democracy
| is firm, and whenever rum is quoted free the
the voters for that faith are tight and in good
demand.
AN exchange says that man recently died
in police station at Railway who had spent
ten thousand dollars for rum within few
years. He must have been the originator of
that virtuous brotherhood known as the P.
L. LIS.
-"Carl Benson" says, Our people are apt
to over-rate themselves in several matters; but
there is one thing in which they do not always
appreciate their superiority-the immense dis
lance they are ahead of all mankind and the
rest OF the world in trotting horses"
