wet IL the MiRciO still in the pos
session 0f Austria, bat amer the
treaty az Prague these fell TO The
lot Of Italy. and thus the circle WAS
complete from without. Hut then
came tho llOmahie question, The
republican party maintained that
Italy could never be great, compact
or powerful, while tho Roman States
slSOd ia her midst, perpetual no
preach. but Napoleon had HE
troops Ia Rome. Tho ChassePot
ruled there Ani menacod Italy,
ylrtnr Emanuel could not stir when
France lined her imperial finger
aud forbade the movement, When
men talked Of Italian unity they
were denounced rs traitors and pun
ished us such. Now, however, the
case is different. Napoleon is in a
Prussinn prison, His power 10
broken. French bayonets are no
longer seen IN Rome. France Is n
republic. Tho iri.color floats In
Paris. Aud now Italy is about
moving In a body TO adjust finally
tho Roman question. Republicans
aud monarchist- join in this action,
They may be influenced by far diff
ferent motives, but they arc all in
tent upon Incorporating tho Roman
states with Italy and fixing the CAPT
tai Of the nation at Roiiic.
That accomplished, then tho qucs.
ton of Republic will be pushed
by the freemon Of Italy, with vIgor
and determination. In exchange
for the States of the Church and his
temporal power, II is proposed TO
allow Holy Father, the Pope, q lib
cral anhual allowance from the ltnl-
ian treasury and the recognition Of
his dogma ofinfallibility ms the head
Of the church, but with perfect free.
dom to every citizen to entertain his
own opinions on the subject. This
is ono programme. But there arc
many others; all, however, looking
to one great point, the establishment
Of u Republic In Italy. If the
French Republic is q success, the
Italian movement will mount into
u commanding position. French
men will lead tho march for Italians.
The two nations will sympathizc
with each other In the great work
of freeing man from the chains and
thraldom Of despotic power. The
downfall of Imperialism in France
may open new era in Europe, and
set running q countcr-tide to the
Bismarck idea Of Capitalization.
History presents stage results to
campaigns. Battles gained by ono
King have ultimately placed a rival
upon the throne, and blows struck
to rivet the letters on the limbs of
freemen have broken their chains
and set them free. Thus quarrel
between dcspots may establish Re-
publics in Europe at tho present
time. One free flag is floating in
tho breeze, and others are nailed to
tho staff ready for use. France
leads the column, and il 10 the ar
don't hope ofall Republics that Italy
and Spain will follow her example.
