Manifesfo OF the Roman Juufa.
ROME, Sept. I, 1867.
The establishment OF concord between the various
tions OF the Roman liberal party generally desired
In order that they might untedy carry out the
prise Of freeing Rome from the yoke OF the priests and
accomplishing the unity OF Italy. This wish was after
great effort, fulfilled and we, succeeding the National
Roman Committee and tho Centre Of Insurrecton,
accredited by both those bodies 10 fellow citizens by
a manifesto addressed to the Romans the 18th July
last We undertook difficult charge trusting that
Romans and Italians, without violating the September
and without deprvng Rome Of the Initiative
Of the Instruction, would assist by every in
their power. In fact, what have enemies been
doing for several years past? Legitimsis and Sanfe
dists in Europe and throughout the world emulously
strive send here their last rock Of refuge every
OF help, money mind and men. Their public and secret
associations, the meetings improviscd here and there
the parish churches transformed into recruiting Offices,
and the efforts Of private persons have Joined all coun
tries in vast conspiracy against civilization and against
Italy choosing Rome as their battle field. Can Rome
alone, in the miserable political and economical cond
tion to which she has been reduced struggle agans. all
the forces thus brought to bear upon her by
the religious and political fanatcism OF tho
world Must she alone, after having from 1sfs to
this day prodigally contributed intellect money, and
men in all the liberal and great u the
nation must she aonc struggle against the united
strength OF the cosmopolitan reaction here assembled in
conspiracy? The Italian government Ia bound 1t is true
by the September convention. In order 10 the
removal Of the french flag from Pontcal territory IL
has had 10 renounce all fore ible OF planting the
Italian Dag on that territory. But will the Italians DO
less cearsighted respecting their true interests than
their enemies from every country who mako head
Romes Has not Italy national associations constituted
with the sgaco object Of assisting the great efforts OF
the nation outside the sphere OF diplomatic responsible
itys Has she not institutions and generous citizens who
and will extend the necessary support 10 those who
labor for the fulnment Of the national aspratons9 To
those associations to those Institutions those citizens
ws now address ourselves.
Intending to carry out soon a. possible q Roman
instruction, without embarrassing tho Italian govern
mont without rashness and without previous fsca
have In readiness vast organization. But, every
knows this organization be maintained with
great expenditure and the preparations for the day
OF action very costly. Our treasury that furnishes
ALL has received for several months past no other conr
buttons than the offerings Of this patriotic population,
impoverished by long tyranny and series OF noble
rifcss We are in the breach awaiting your help. II
this Unexpectedly fail US, tho liberal party now strongly
organized, cannot but remain in the power Of ntgucrs
May such misfortune, such shame never fail upon
Rome and Italy.
