The determination OF the Italian govern
ment to take possession of the Papal States
and make Rome the capital OF united Italy
was communicated to Pope Plus TX. on
September 10, 1870.
POPE Plus PROTEST.
The answer was an emphatic protest.
On September IL Victor Emauu troops |
rossed the frontier of the. Papal States.
The resistance OF the Papal troops was
by order of the Pope only sufficient to
prove that the territory was not willingly
Abbott, the historian, says:
AT $50 on Tuesday morning, Septem- |
Der 20, the Sandman troops having ar |
rived before the walls of the city, opened |
fire upon tue Porta Pia and upon the |
Porta Salavia. At $50 breach was |
effected at the Porta Pia, and at $50 |
ii was carried by storm. AT 10 O'Clock |
two divisions ef Gea. Cardona's army !
entered Rome and took possession of tue
ity and the struggle ceased.'
Victor Emanuel submitted the ques- |
Ion of allegiance to the people OF Rome, !
and the vote was practically unanimous !,
'or the kingdom against the Pope. The |
Clerical party, however, refused to vote, |
that a ballot in the presence of
30 900 soldiers could not give a fair de- |
termination OF the question. The Church
has never recognized the supremacy of |
.he Italian State.
The hour for the banquet tonight is |
almost exactly the hour of the entry into
Rome twenty-five years ago.
