the Doctor puts himself in marching order
and tramps of home, to bewail, Of course, as
his auditors in Washington will doubtless fad
to their sorrow for many Sabbath day, the
woful blindness which permits Wisdom to cry
out in the streets of Salt Lake CITY with no
man regarding her. Already, in fact the first
whispers of this wall are upon us; but the
question arises, What is its justice? What
did DIR. Newman go to Salt Lake for? If out
of mere lust of victory, and to show how
far superior he, the learned doctor of divinity,
the gentleman and scholar, was to mere
shrewd impostor and fanatic like the Mormon
prophet, then, on being refused an opportu-
nifty to win those foreordained laurels, it
accords with the fitness of things he should
have left the field. But il his purpose
was, from a sincere conviction of Nor
mon error and a hearty desire to wean
some of its victims from its influence, to let
the truth be known to Utah as far as he could
spread it, why did he not accept the use of
the Tabernacle, and there, in the very sane
tuary of a false creed, demonstrate to ten
thousand of its followers the wrong and folly
of their ways? 1t cannot be said that the
learned doctor feared for his reception, since
the very occasion of his visit was to appear
before Mormon audience That he would
combat error with Brigham to defend it. but
would not combat error SOluS, leads to the in
ference, therefore, that the vainglory, the
advertisement, the trumpeting through the
papers, the theatrical c0ap of a hand-to- hand
battle with the great Brigham was DR.. New
mans sole animating call. If so, the fury
with which he rushed forth to Utah without
ever learning automatically that Brigham had
issued him a challenge-and it appears the
Mormon never authorized one-and the haste
with which he comes racing back to mourn
Mormon deadness, are equally absurd and
fantastical. Brigham or no Brigham, if the
truth stirred in him. why not preach it in the
Tabernacle thrown open to his use !? And if
the truth stirred not in him, why did he stir
at all
THE IMPENDING MOVEMENT IN ITALY.
From the n. Y. Herald.
Our latest advices announce the imminence
of a popular movement in the democratic
sense throughout the italian peninsula, and
add the significant expression that the procla-
nation of republic there is awaited from
day to day. This news chimes in singularly
with the more detailed intelligence Just re-
ceived from the same quarter by mail. The
journals of Florence, Milan, and Naples,
mention the revival of agitation both North
and South. In Lombardy the Mazzinians, led
on by Menotti Garibaldi, are vigorously at
work. and depots of arms and ammunition
concealed by them have been discovered
by the police in every district of the
city of Milan. In Rome, so soon as
the telegram announcing the with
drawal of the French garrison was made
public, masses of Romans were seen shaki ng
hands with each other and interchanging
salutations in suppressed voice. The Holy
Father himself, in conversation with a for
eign diplomat, is said to have remarked that
only second Montana could recommend
him to the forbearance of the Italian troops,
and that was out of the question, since it
would require third French intervention-a
thing clearly impossible. Meanwhile, twenty
thousand Italian regulars, under General La
Marmora, have been thrown forward toward
Viterbo, preliminary to friendly occupation
of the Roman States, and the Papal Govern
ment is concentrating all its troops in the
city and hastily repairing its fortifcations,
while every effort is made to supply the
places of the many French and German Off
GERS who are withdrawing from the immediate
service of his Holiness in order to take part
in the struggle at home.
The convention between France and Italy
for the evacuation of Rome, recently devised
by the French Emperor on the one side and
Generals Menabrea and Nigra on the other,
and conveyed to Florence by Count Vimer-
defensive alliance between the two powers;
the restoration of the convention of Septem-
ber 10, 1864 to all its force and bearing; the
protection of the Papal See against every
species of insurrection and violence and the
granting of loan by France to Italy These
specifications have, of course awakened the
ire of the Italian radicals, and their organs
throughout the country are in full cry against
the royal government. The comic papers,
which are widely circulated and WELD in
fluence in Italy, represent the latter in the
form of beautiful female asleep, while the
hands of Napoleon III and Victor Emanuel
are seen joining in the distance. man of
the people calls on her to awake This ap-
peal to popular passion, sustained, as it is,
by the entire radical press, has not passed
unheeded and violent demonstrations are in
progress against any movement on the part
of Italy to interfere in the German French
war.
Nevertheless, the Turin papers state that
orders have been issued to all the railway
authorities of Northern Italy to hasten their
arrangements for the transportation of the
new contingents of men Just called out for
army service, and in all the chief cities of the
realm bids are requested for heavy military
supplies. These preparations, in view of the
peculiar financial and social condition of
Italy, are not made without an eye to busi-
ness. The hour is undoubtedly close at
hand when the gentleman king will be forced
along with the popular tide to make Rome
the civic capital of Italy. or to suppress, if he
can, the uprising of the radicals with the red
right hand. In either case, should Napoleon
fall, the spirit of the old S. p. @. R.-the
Senate and people of Rome combined in
