HE WAS DEEPLY STIRRED.


That such condition Of affairs in Italy should
have stirred a warm hearted patriot such as
Garbaldi to the depths Of his being 1t is easy to
understand. He had the sufferings Of his fellow
countrymen constantly before his eyes. They
appeared intolerable TO him. and that is why he
developed into such frebrand, who found It
impossible TO rest until ne had brought about
the liberation Of his beloved Italy Cavour. one
of the greatest statesmen OF the nineteenth CEN
tury; King Victor Emmanuel II, the Re
Galantuomo" and Mazzini the Conspirator all
had the same object. But they disapproved a
rule of one another's methods. Those of MAJ
zni appealed neither to Garibaldi nor vet to
Cavour andVictor Emmanuel On the other hand
the latter and his Premier found II frequently
necessary TO proceed with a greater degree of
caution and diplomacy than met with the an
proval of Garibaldi, who was impatient of every
delay. He could not understand that II was nee
essary to take into consideration the relations
OF Italy with the foreign powers and with the
Iorelgh money markets, nor appreciate the fact
that a political move could be rendered doublv
and trebly effective by waiting a few months
perhaps year. 1t was this that occasionally
brought him into conflict with Victor Emmanuel
and with the latter's minister's which led him
to violate his agreements with them and TO dis
regard their instructions, forcing them thereby
into positions where they were cornnelied to on
through at any rate the semblance of arresting
him and placing him under a sort of honorable
restraint, in order to avert grave international
complications. While these acts of insubordina-
tloh on the part OF Garipaldi were a source of
considerable embarrassment TO King Victor
Emmanuel and TO his government at the time vet
they contributed in such a degree TO bring about
the eventual result, namely the transformatI ton
of all Italy into single constitutional state.

were convinced that the King was secretly con-

he was obliged to disavow them officially For

which, with all that part of the peninsula lying
TO the south thereof. was added to the dominions
of Victor Emmanuel II. Italians have alwavs
been disposed to regard in the light of national
heroes this band of thousand followers who
accompanied Garibaldl to Sicily forty-six years
ago, landing with him at Marsha. In fact to
such an extent were the Thousand of Marsha"
regarded as important factors in the creation
Of united Italy that 1t decided to recog-
