    proposes in the opening of evening schools , with lower rates for children of ^ . greater age , and with , prizes , present , a very obvious anode of counteracting this tendency . But perhaps the best of all counteractions-wdll . be offered in the example of success in life attained by those children whose parents have . allowed them ; to enjojr the larger ajnoiant .-of education .

    ' The constitution of this national party which limited by my poor efforts , I labour to obtain , could be , if I mistake not a great step in the path , which ought to conduct us to the redemption of Italy . " Other steps , both i mportant and difficult , would undoubtedly remain to be taken , but this first would serve to prepare and to facilitate them . - " The national party would naturally comprehend Royalists and republican Patriots . Powerful bondB « £ union and concord , as , between themselves , would be the ^ communion of views , and the firm resolution to sacrifice . predilections as to mere political form , in as far as the accomplishment of those views might resquare , it . 1

    It would be requisite to render this union more icooaplete , this concord more strong ; to find the method of amalgamating these two sections in such a manner as to constitute one compact whole . That would call "fer -reciprocal concessions by which an agreement bright ibe !© btained , « r as , yo-u obsei * ve , a compromise . In the adjustment of , the , towns of this , comprombe lies the tr % te knot of the question . To solve it all the true friends of Italy ought to unite . I , for my own -part , have proposed a solution . If any other ¦ man can find a better I accept it .

    _ Piedmont is oue grand national force ; many rejoice in . it as a good , some deplore it as an evil , but no one can deny that it is a fact . Now facts cannot be neglected by the political - man ; he is bound to build them up , to -strive , and to seek to draw : from them , a cawse---a country . In the great struggle for Italy's emancipation to become hostile , or to render this national force inoperative , would be pure folly . But it is a fact that Piedmont is monarchical . It is there fore necessary that a concession should be made to the monarchical . principle , which concession would have for an equivalent-a consolidation of the one national principle .

    " In my opinion , the national cause of Italy ought to say , ' I accept the ^ nonarchy , provided it be Unitarian ;; I accept sthe ; House of 'Savoy , £ provided it ¦ concurs loyally . and -efficaciously « in . making Italy ; thatisy in rendeiingiher one and independent ; if not -rthat is / if the Piedmontese momychy ^ fail to do its mission , I-will seek , to -make Italy by other means , recurring-even if necessary , to idieas divergent from the prinoiple of monarchy . " > "J ^ ovr , vyou swill perheupa ask -me , how I am of opinion that the PiedmpnrtieBe monarchy ought to conduct itself to-fulfil such mission . This is my reply : — r The » Piedmoatese ^ monarchy , that it may be faithful : to its mission , -ought always to keep in view , as its rule of conduct , the final aim of Italian independence and unty . "

    He proceeds to explain the serious dangers of Piedmont—rthat her Government may be seduced into a compromise with Austria , or forced to conciliate Fr-ance . Austrian principles hare not yet been extirpated from the realm of Sardinia ; the Papal party is by no means extinct or powerless in Turin , Above all , the . representative of Sardinia , at the Conferences of Paris , may affix the seal of the kingdom to a treaty assenting to the dominat ion of Austria in Italy . Thus , Sardinia would , in the event of a patriotic war , be

    driven to the alternative of declining the fulfilment of her duty , or of cancelling the act of her own plenipotentiary . Manin says that Piedmont should be pi-epared "to take part in the national battles , ' * and adds that no other nucleus of Italian aspiration should be formed . But he must know that the course of the quasiconstitutional Government is uncertain , and may be influenced by strange exigencies . The Italians , as a nation , must accomplish their task , -whether or not the projects of Victor Emmanuel are assimilated legally to the one great idea—a free and united Italy .

    . THE . JSrATIOJSTS OP THE PBINCIPALITIES . The -nations of the ' Danubian Princi palities have claims which , being inimical to the political interests of three of the Powers represented at Paris , will , probably , not bo admitted . Tn addition to these claims , asserted by their historians and journalists—for they have "both—they believe themselves to havo destinies -which will not be so easily suppressed . - 'Since the unhappy schism of their race , after ' the ¦ Traixsylvanian emigration , their instimots 'have perpetually tended to an united Government , while the intrigues of contiguous empires have invariably been directed t °
