The Best Yet.
L ITTLE’S VERMIFUGE, has been atedinhun
dreds of cues, and has surpassed every thing of
the kind yet introduced. Besides being a sure reme
dy that can be given to the most delicate child with
perfect lafctv, it requires no medicine afterwards. By
its timely use much pain and suffering amnngit chil
dren may be prevented, to say nothing of the often
fatal effects of Worms, for want of the proper reme
dies.
Of the many evidences that might be addaeed in
favorof tins preparation, read the following statements
of Dr. Searcy and others:
Dr. Little—Dear air: I have prescribed yonr Ver-
roi uge iu several cases, and feel uo hesitancy in pro
nouncing it superior to Fahnestock's, Perry's "Dead
Shot," ot any other I have ever used.
Talbot county, John S Seirct, M. D.
Dr. LITTLE—Sin I have used several vials of jour
Vermifuge, in my fimily, and believe it superior to
Fahnestock's or anv thing I have ever seen: in fact,
with the use of this medicine, and yonr Anodyne
Coagb Drops, in cases o Coughs and Colds. I have
succeeded in coring two or three cases, that I other
wise would have to call in a Physician to.
Respectfully, Ac.
(Signed) Simeon Castleberry.

Dr. Little—Sir: In my family I have given sever
al vials of yonr Vermifuge, as well as Fahnestock's,
and find yours the moat effectual remedy 1 ever gave
or knew of. Yours, Ac.

gwilarrlaad and Italy.
It is not one of the least curious incidents of tho
times in which we live, that two directly opposite
movements should have taken place in llio coun
tries on either aide ef the Alps, and tliut their re-
ndls should have been so extremely different from
what might have been expected.’ Iu one.—the
choseu land of freedom, as it has been called, the
last home and refuge of Liberty, wbeu she had de
serted oilier aud more genial climes,—tho so-call
ed liberals, tbe democrats, tile radicals, have just
undertaken a successful crusade against freedom
of conscience, and have subdued the aristocratic
defenders of religious liberty, even amidst the
strongholds of their mountains. Iu the other,—long
the supposed scat of despotism iu its purest auu
most unmitigated form, where liberty and free
dom of opinion bad not, except during the storm
of the French Revolution, ever shuwu any signs of
existence.—it most decisive aud energetic move
ment iu fuvourof political freedom has taken place,
aud has been originated by the very chief aud
organ of what the Tiviismoulane people generally
consider as the concentrated expression uf all that
enslaves and subdues tbe iniud. Tbc forts have
certainly been unexpected: they have burst upon
European statesmen, or at least upon those of the
Udi thern aud western courts, unawares; aud their
ultimate consequences appear to be as much he-
y-nd iheirken as they are beyond tbeir control.—
The Swiss Federation, notwithstanding the prof
fered mediation uf the great powers, have settled
their own matters among themselves; and the Ita
lians seem inclined to leur tinge sale en famillc, as
Napoleon used to recommend people to do when
the operation was of a more than usually unplea
sant nature, without saying “by your leave, or
with your leave," to any of tho barbarians that
dwell on the northern sides of the Alps. Austria
aud France are equally balked iu their views up-
ou Switzerland and Italy; aud the ouly power that
seems likely to gaiu anything by these events will
be, iu spite of herself, • the perfidious Albion." As
usual, however, with Euglish diplomatists, but still
more as usual with whig officials, mid with the
rapiug good-untnred multitude of the British Is-
auds, those advantages that may accrue to our
country will come not through any astuteness of
the government, or its servants, but through the
sheer force of events urgiug themselves on iu their
inevitable course, aud filling up the series of secon
dary causes and effects that compose the history
of the world.
To nuy oue contemplating tho enviable posiiion
and the uatural ml vantages of Switzerland, aud still
more to any one looking at the fundamental char
acter of tbe Swiss people,it would sceinoue of the
most difficult political problems to find any cause
for internal quarrel and disunion, much less for
civil war. Blessed as they are with a country that
necessitates all the skill and iudustry of man to
bringforlb its full poweis, but which, when man
tills its bosom, and pours the sweat of his brow iu-
to its lap, yields him the sweet return of abuudant
as it now stands decided, the supremacy of the
Radical and Democratic faction is firmly establish
ed. *
competence and varied riches, the Swiss have
1 mg been looked up to with justice as otic oftbe
most truly prosperous aud thriving people of
Europe. They have nut becu tempted to throw
aside the agricultural occupations uf their country

for tbe daugeruua aud transitory fluctuations of
commerce.; they have remained strung iu their
national aud natural simplicity; rich, aud more
than rich, in the produce ol their lauds, raised by
the labour of their arms; and, amid the many
changes ol other states, wheu once the fever of the
revolutionary malady hud left them, trauquil and
contented, aud objects of envy tu'all surrounding
people. Thus imlioua! ambition was of necessity
limited; external aggrandizement and colonial ex
tension they could Know nothing about; their ter
ritory was safe from foreign aggression, or was
supposed to, aud their eucrgiescould ouly expend
themselves on the affairs of their own country.—
Switzerland remained till within the last few years,
as it had ahvay* been, the “cynosure of neighbour
ing eye*” to all Europe; aud scarcely a traveller
ever wandered amidst its vales nud mountains, but
sighed after a dwelling iu that fairy laud, and long
ed fur it us hi* country by tuluptiou next after the
land of hi* birth. Of ail people iu (he world, the
Swiss, to external spectator* at least, seemed to
have the least tu wii-h for, and the least cause to
be discontented either with their couutry or them
selves.
Aud yet, of a sudden, up rises a storm; the Fed-
erutiou split*; aud, before uieu cuu come to com
prehend wbat tbe mouutaiu* are quarrelling about
swords are drawn, .hots are fired, a couple of
towns are captured, and tbe war is declared at an
eud almost befere it was known to have com
menced.- It ho* been like a drama at tbe opera.
Scene, a rocky district, wiib a town iu the distance:
enter a chorus uf peasaut, who sing about liberty.
Alarums: a baud of soldiers rush iu aud drive theui
off the stage. Grand Cuutala of the president.—
and tbe curtail: fall*. Some counuiseeiirs in the
boxes call for the manager, aud ask when the opera
is going to begiu. as they wish to intervene: the
manager enters from the aide-door, bows humbly,
aud intimates that they may have their tickets re
turned if they please, the play being over. Geuenil
disappointment!
Something like this would bo the dramatised
history of the late Helvetic disturbances; so brief,
aud we may almost 6ay so ridiculous, has the
whole seemed. Iu most countries, wheu a cjvil
war is proclaimed, aud one-third of the uation
declares its iuteutiun of depurating from the other
two-lbirds. a struggle of some length aud earnest
ness of purpose may he with tolerable certainty
predicted: even iu Belgium, we should suppose
that a civil war would take a uiouth or two before
it could be fiually extinguished. But iu Switzer
land it appears that the feelings of the belligerent*,
whatever may have beeu their previous iulensity,
have fuuud au easy veut for rapid evaporation: mid
after one or two pusses with the sworu, the weaker
combatant baa dropped his point aud given up.
There must have been eooiethitig false and spu
rious at the bottom of all this, or all the brngudocio
of the Federalist aud the Somlerhuud could never
have dissipated liy a few shots at Friebourg and
Lucerne: oue of the two parties at leust could uot
have beeu iu earnest, or they uever would have
kuockeduuder au easily and so speedily, politi
cal reasons for war cannot become ou a suddeu so
thoroughly fallacious, nor military resources so
thoroughly exhausted, bb that oue day’s skirmish
ing at Friebourg. and two days’ fighting near Lu
cerne, could suffice to settle the quarrel. We are
iutliued, therefore, to suspect the weaker party to
have been conscious of wrong iu this case, though
to auy impartial observer tbe actsut aggression lay
all at the dour of the stronger.
How stood tbe mutter! The central cantons,
strong iu their mouutaiu fastuesses, uud uu the
bonier* of theirsublime lakes, have maintained,
under republican forms, the tru^aristocratic spirit,
aud the uucieut religion of Switzerland. Thi se
encircling these central states, the dwellers in the
campaign couutry and iu the cities have gmio iuto
the tullies of democracy, and have abandoned more
or less the dignity of the old Swiss character to
ape the vices, political and social, of thoueighhonr-
iog people, whether French or Geiuiau. Ever
since the factious burst of pseudoputiiulism, during
the inglorious "Three days” ol 1830, the inhabi
tants of the northern Swiss town.- have had their
heads ruuuiug ou tho visiouary schemes that have
distracted Freiicbiueu’s brains and like daw* iu
peacocks’ feathers, or servuuts iu their masters’
cast-off clothes, have been trying to imitate the
“Y.rtucs,” political nud aucial, of the Gallic people.
Heuce has arisen tlio Radical party 111 the larger
cantons; hence have arisen the crowds of infidels
aud debauchees which have latterly disgraced the
petty capituisuf those canton.-; heuce the Catholics
have been persecuted and robbed in Argau, aud
the respectable people of Geneva ousted out ol
the government by the rubble of thut city. Heuce
came the outcry agaiust the J esuits, uud the former
quarrel with Lucerne, iu which, huwever. thntcity
came the best out of thostruggle: heuce au infinity
of petty jealousies aud heartburnings, aud acts of
ppressiou, ou tho part of the Radical majority
gaiust the Catholic minority, nud hence finally the
recent resort to arms. The Radical aud the strong
er cauloua havo considered it injurious to their
own interests, aud derogatory to their own dignity,
that the freedom of opinion which they cluim fur
themselves should exist iu it* tull iutegrity among
their Catholic and less powerful brethren. They
have insisted on the abolition of certain religious
orders of meu vvithiu the limits of their territories;
nud because the others have claimed the liberty
guaranteed by the Federal coni pact, they have en
venomed the quarrel so far, as to hriug it to the
decision of might rather than of right. Jt is in fact,
however, a struggle of tho democratic agaiust tho
aristocratic parly, of which tho Catbolio question
is only a particular phase; the real bone of con
tention was, whether tbe Democrats or Radical*
Jiould be endangered in their predominance iu
tbe Diet, by the compact votes of the Aristocrats
or Catholic*. Tho expulsion of tho Jesuits was
onlv a very subordinate part of ttic question; nud,
It appears to us, that, had the cantons of Souder-
bttnd beeu governed by clear-headed men, ami
their armies led by men of taieut; not only the
political, hut also tho uiilitnrv, result of the con
test would have been essentially different. The
cautous cannot havo beeu united by any very
strong tie, or they uever would havo broken off'
from each other, and made their separate submis
sion, so speedily after the fall of. Lucerne. The
forces of tho Souderbtiud cannot have been very
couffdeul in their leaders’ abilities, or they uever
would have given up thofi2ht while ali tho couu
try on tho south and east of tho Lake of Lucerne
remained tu their possession. And yet if they
were aide only to carry ou tho war tor ten days
or a fortnight, they were very blainahlo for having
allowed things to come so rapidly to a crisis. It
was a political mistake of uo small gravity to form
the Souderbuml, and to talk so largely of their
separate existence, unless they intended to make
a more stout stand in defeuce ot.their liberties.—
Although the Radical* were, like all democrats,
the aggressors, still the aristocrat* should uot huvo
defied them so loudly, unless* they had better
groud* for showing such confidence. The little
boy who sqares his fists even at the bigger oue
that bullies him. deserves asound thrashing for his
impudence, if he is ready to give up at the eud of
the first round.
tVe believe the policy of the French government
to have been the true one on tbi* occasion: it coin
cided, indeed, pretty nearly with that of the Aus
trian cabinet. In fact, any government, that
wishes to staud, should be prepared to take the
side of the Conservative parly, wherever that
party, in the true sense of the term “Conservative”
exists. It must be prepared, at all times, to suj>-
po rt the cause of order aud religion against that of
anarchy and infidelity; aud, though tbe French
cabiuet is uot overhurdeued with feehugs of hon
our and delicacy, it has a sufficiently strong in
stinct of self-preservation, to iuduce it to side w ith
its friends rather than with it* enemies. The poli
cy of ibe Austrian government could uot be for a
moment doubtful. Austria has always beeu the
friend of order aud of national liberty; aud it was
her duty, uo less than her interest, to takes de
cided stepiu fuvoqr.of tho Forest Cautous. H'e
can conjecture uo other reason for these two great
powers uot haviug interfered soouer, than that they
inu.t have been iu uncertainty as to the iuteutiun*
of the Whig cabiuet ou our side uf the chatmel,uud
that they were checked iu their action by the
certainty that Prussia must take part in the con
test, iu virtue of the principality of Neufehatel.—
Aud yet we doubt not that both France aud Austria
w ill he sufferers from the impulse given to Radi
calism, by the recent pretty triumph of its princi
ples with a a day’s journey of their respective
iroutier*. A French regimeut of Geneva, uud au
Austriuu oue iu the Grisuus, would have restored
the balance of purlieu, aud would have brought
buck the Radicals tu tbeir pruner dimensions. It
may now be confidently expected that Switzer
land will become a little focus of agitaliou for the
discontented iu both countries; and that it will
exist as a (Militical nuisance under the nose of
each of its powerful neighbours, loudly calliug fur
abatement.
England, which, as represented by the preseut
tenants of Duwiiiug Street, is uo doubt inclined to
iHtrigue with the Radicals rather than with the Ca
lliope party iu Switzerland, may lay her account
to profit by the stagnation which this contest will
occasion in Swiss manufacturing and commercial
operation*; and may calculate ou eurichiug some
of oor great exporting huu.-es at theexpeuse oftbe
manufacturers of Zorich and Basle. That she in
tended or foresaw this result, we more than doubt;
hut it will very probably he a cousequeucc ofher
tardy otter of mediatiou
As it is, the diguity of position lies altogether on
the side oftbe Federal Diet; they have employed
force successfully. Whatever he the merits of
their pretensions, they have imposed their claims
on llieiroppouents both promptly and efficaciously;
and, more by the faint-heartedness nud disuuiou
of their enemies than by their own valor aud con
cert, they have established their sway in undispu
ted tyranny over the whole Federation. The
president of the Diet predicted this result, aud his
words have come true. Asia the case of the Uni
ted States uud Mexico, it is the unrighteous cause
that has triumphed; aud the glory, if there he
anv, is all ou oue side. But the ultimate conse
quences of this ctate of things may he expected io
bring about the decay ot the uatioual character,
and therefore to uudermiue the last remaining
foundations of Sw-iss nationality. Whenever au Eu
ropean war agaiu occurs, Helvetia will fall as au
easy spoil to he partitioned by France aud Austria;
and what is more, she will fall uuregretted. Her
mountains, her lakes and valleys, her forests and
her glaciers, will still remaiu grand aud beautiful,
till time itself shall be no more; but the old Swit
zers will have become degenerate, aud will have
forgotteu the glories of their former history. Some
of them will he affiliated to the restless family of
the Gauls, while the remainder will he learning
over agaiu the first rudiments of agricultural aud
rural prosperity, under the sceptre of the Ostie-
« ntbs Swiss freedom aud Swiss commerce will
avedisappeared from ihe laud ; uud Euglish man
ufacturers will he rejoicing at the bankruptcy of
oue ctaS3 of their competitors iu Europeuu or
American markets.
Iu Italy, it is devoutly believed by all English
politicians that the genius uf Catholicism is des
tructive of the national spirit; and that the long
subjugation of thutpeuinsulu to the northern con
queror is to he attributed toa prostration of moral
vigor arisiug from the trammels of superstition.—
And yet what has happened ? A new spiritual
chief nsceuds the throue at Rome, by accident ra
ther tbuu by desigu ; bu pronounces a few magic
wurds, aud iu au mstaut the sacred fire of liberty,
and the desire of resisting foreign oppression, per
vade tho whole laud. Nor ore the people ouly af
fected hy this universal enthusiasm : even mon
arch* are carried away by the stream of popular
opinion. Tlte King of Sardinia mid the Grand
Duke of Tuscany come forward aa the prompters
aud defenders of ltuliau liberty; the King uf Na
ples advauces in the snmeputh, though uotso rap
idly as the revolutionists uf his dommiuus could
wish ; and all but Lombardy is throwu into the
vortex ufpolitical reform. To l’ius IX., nud to tns
noble conceptions of his prudent miiid, the whole
of the recent movements iu Italy may be fairly at
tributed. Not but that the public was anxious lor
change ; there have long beeu evils enough rauk-
liug iu the Italian breast to make change desirable.
Yet had it not been for thecircumstauceofu puten-
tite, the father of his people, and the heud of the
Roman Catholic religiou cursing forward and. pro
claiming huuself favorable to a political change,
the whole impulse that now has beeugiveu to the
various races of Italy would have beeu altogether
wuuting.
It would be, perhaps, idle at tho prescutmomcut
to speciilute upon the positive direction which this
resuscitation of Italian freedom may take; the
eveutsof a few mouths are not to be trusted, as af
fording any very certain or fixed indication uf how
the current of the netioual fortunes is destined to
run. The Italians may, perhaps, arrive at a grad
ual and moderate degree of freedom, such as may
conduce to the improvement uud elevation of tbeir
uatioual character, aud to the raising of Italy in
the scale of European powers; or ou the other
hand, they may ruu wild into the theory uud prac
tice of revolutionary wickedness, and may become
the pest and the abhorrence of Eiiri>i>e, while they
sink down to a lower aud still a lower depth iu the
abyss uf political degradation. 'Ve hope for tha
former of these results, but we know that the lat
ter is hy do means improbable j ami iu order to
point out where danger of tending towards it lies,
we append the following remarks:—
Iu the first place, it must be sufficiently nbvi.ius
to auy oue, ever so little acquaiuicd with the char
acter of the Italian people, that the different na
tions aud tribes of that peninsula are hy uo menus
all iu the same degree of preparation nud advance
ment for receiving the boou of constitutional gov
ernment. There is a very wide difference between
the inhabitants of Milan and those of Naples, be
tween the denizens of the Bologiitso aud the
shepbords of the Abruzzi, and gent-rally between
the dwellers in Italian cities and rite agricultural
population in the bosom, or uu the skirts of the
Appeuiucs. But to apply the same kiud of politi
cal institutions to all the inhabitants of a district,
without regnrd to their various degrees of moral
preparation for it, is to confer on them a punish
ment rather than a boon. Bud to do them evil ra
ther than good. We have too melancholy an ex
ample ofitatoar own doors, where the exngge-'
rated philanthropy of Englishmen has given to i!ie
Irish the same political privileges as they cnjo;/
themselves, n> wish that such a fruitful source of
evil should fall to the lot of auy other people. Ami
so it would bo with nine-tenths of thb people ot I :-
aly : however advanced may be tho nbtiotta of the
upper classes, however ripe for Ibe political Iree-
ooto may be the citizens of Florence or Rome, the
peasants of Lombardy and Campania would not
know how to use the advantages put within their
reach, and they would hilt change the rule of the
few for the more terrible despotism of the many.
Before the Italians cau, ns a uation, be fit for
what we call a free government, they must he bet
ter educated, and better fitted hy tbeir moral and
social organization to understand its nature mid ad
vantages. But in order to do this, wo must first
c>f all see tin; education of the people taken up ns
tiationiil object hy the untiuiinl clergy ; aud we
must further see the morals of the people made u
point of all-parainoiiut importance by the same
body of meu, aud brought forward iuto a place of
greater prominence than the mere practices of de
votion. Cau it ho any boon to confer the political
lights of election ami self-government on men who
are still plunged iu the depths of complete igno
rance? Can it be of any use to cull upon a na
tion fur tbe exercise ot public virtues, when social
and domestic virtues do not exist among them J
Before the Ilaliaus can be countituteilii.su uation
of freemen, they must be foiWd into families of
virtuous citizens,, iu which decency and the natu
ral exercise of the affections nny he firmly estab
lished. For if there he one political axiom more
fully demonstrated by the voice of history tliati
another, it is this, that public freedom can uever
exist where private vice preponderates over pri
vate virtue ; nud where the sacred lies of domes
tic virtue do uut prevail, it is ill vtiio to look for
the bauds of public good. It was the domestic
vices of the uucieut Romans tLut first weakened
the empire; aud uuiil their degenerate desceud-
auts shall huve awakened from their moral lethar
gy, that empire, that natiouul power shall not rise
again. Ii is therefore, a favorable indication for
Italy, that the movement should liuve commenced
with the head of the uatioual religion ; for it may
be hoped that a proper course will be adopted *by
the ecclesiastical authorities, and that the amelio
ration of all ranks and orders ol meu, clerical as
well as lay, will precede uud accompany the dawn
of Italian independence. As lung as the Italians
remain in the state uf moral weukn-as which, for
so many centuries, they have exhibited, they need
never expect to escape from the sway of the more
vir.toous nations of the uurlh; they will never be
able to luce the Germans, whether iu the caldtiet
or the field, until they learn tu emulate them iu the
purity of their uutinuid character.
It may very well be doubted whether auy of the
Italians, ami, indeed, any of their Trausinoutaue
admirers, know what is really fitted for them iu
political institutions—what will really do them
good—what is really suited to the genius of the
people and the reqiiire-meuts of the country. I’o-
litical institutions are like plants that cannot al
ways hear transferring from one region tu iiiiotliei:
they require the process olTiecoiniug acclimatized,
aud, ou their first introduction into a new couutry.
demand the fostering shelter of the hot-house aud
the gardener’s constant care. Because a repre
sentative constitution is supposed to be the acme
of human wisdom iu the latitude of Great Britain,
it does uut therefore follow that it will flourish so
far south as Naples; and because a uatioual guard
is reckoned the ne plus ultra of national institutions
at I’aris, we are by uo menus sure that it would
produce auy good results at Rome. It seems, io
tact, to us to he oue of the mouomunias of the pres
ent age, that the same Procrustean bed of represeu-
t t ve government is laid out for all people tire,t
think they require more |Hiiitical liberty than they
are at present in possession of; aud should the in
habitant* of Timbuctuo, of Canton, of TobuUki, of
Alexandria, nud of Morocco, take it into their
heads, s one fine day, to send deputations to the
united quidnuncs of Loudon aud i’aris, requesting
the transmission ot constitutions for their several
states, vve have no doubt that a couple of legisla
tive houses, and a corps of national guards, a pv>d
el d chrral, would be immediately recommended,
as equally applicable to their several wants. It
seems to be Ihe privilege uf civilized Europeans to
ihiuk that the right of governing themselves is the
essence of civil freedom: far tune true, iu the vast
majority of cases, would it he to say, that it con
stituted the essence of political thraldom. It is a
social truth, most unpalatable to iiiuety-nme-liuu-
dre-dthsnt mankind, but not therefore the less true,
that ninety uiue meu uut a hundred are not fit to
govern themselves, even in the relations of social
life, aud for less iu those* of political. And so it is
with iiatious: for one nation that has really prosper
ed under the plan of self-goverumeut, there are
uiuet>-uiuc that have brought ou themselves evils
which, under a less popular system, they would
have avoided. If the physical and social condition
ofa people be takcu us a test; Tf the durability of
tb -ir institutions, if tbe diguity and iiiHueuce of
tbeir government, bequoleil, us proof* oftbe ad
vantages oftheirseveral forms ot political ioslilu-
tiuus, we really know not auy constitutional form
to which, ceteris paribus, we could appeal as decid
ing the question agaiust those ot a monarch
ical tendency. If die privilege of taxing them
selves torn) amount that defies all powerof redemp
tion. nud cripples the resources of the uation to a
point that menaces its existence as an independ
ent power, iu the struggle of nations; if the free
dom of conducting commercial affairs iu such a
manner that every seventh year shall bring the
whole Iradiug interests of a country to the very
verge of bankruptcy; if tho balancing of the influ
ence of the several classes so badly, that at length
the lower threaten to swallow up the upper iu a
wild flood of irreligioii aud autarchical spoliation;
if the system of “propter tilam vivrndi perdcre can
tos'' he adopted as Ihe ..cure of perfection—if all
this be considered tit and proper, thou let a con-
stitutioual monarchy be preached up as tbe model
of every nation under the £Un. But we cannot
wish so ill to auy of ou>- fellow-men as to advise
them to relinquish good, however small, fur ihe
prospect uf such evil, however seductive. We do
not upprove of plying the poor Red man with fiery
liquors till bis tribe becomes exterminated; uud iu
the same way we would withhold the intoxicat
ing draught of scif-goverunietit from the lips of
those people who hitherto have sucked ia their
milk, as babes, at the hands of oilier*.-
To ns it is a bad sign that Ibe Italians should be
calling out for representative assemblies, uml for
uatioual guards. They ure uot fit for the former,
nor cau they bu so for ihe m-xt hundred years—
we should uot congratulate them eveu if they ob
tained these dangerous tools, wherewith to play at
ihe hazardous game ot legislation: and as lor m.-
tiuual guards, they do Lot waut iheiu, inasmuch as
nobody isgoiug to invade them: aud it uu iuvusiou
were made by u northern nation, we’kuow, by
long experience, that the uatioual guard would he
perfectly useless. The ilulutus "don't figh ;” they
bluster aud talk big, like tbe Spaniards, and run
away ere the Erst shot is tired. Teu thousand
Germans or Freuchuic-u. may march from one eud
of Italy to the other without meeting any man that
dares tire at them, except from behrnd u rock or a
stone wall. The Italians must he made of sterner
stuff, before they take upon themselves the respon
sibility of bearing arms.
The position ot the several sovereigns in Italy is
suvh, that their opposition to the wisUeaof Austria,
if that op|>osttiuu be real, creates iu us some sur
prise. The Kiug of Sardinia ought to know, hy
the loug uud sad experieuce uf those who have
preceded him ou his slippery throue, that there is
no ebauceuf safety for him iu a European struggle
unless he depeocs on the House ot Austria.—
France ulwuys has been, uud always will be, a
treacherous neighbour to Piedmont; and she will
never cease coveting Savoy until she has made it
her own, or bus been deprived eveu of the power
of euvy. The Grand Duke of Toscauy is so close
ly related to the Emporor that family interests a-
louc ought to make their policy identical; uud the
Kiug of Naples, like the King of Sardinia, has no
firmer support for his foreign power tbaulbe friend
ship and countenance of the Court of Sch&ubrunu.
The l’opeis certainly an independent priuce. and
at his wish to keep the Holy See free Iroin all for
eign influence wo cauuot feel surprised: it is the
healthiest, because tbe least unnatural, symptou of
the whole crisis.
For Austria, we can well conceive that the pru
dent ami cantiou*. policy of that ably conducted
mouareby must dictate excessive jealousy and sus
picion of these popular movemeuts. Austria more
than auy other power iu Europe, has the truest
cause to pride itself ou the good results of its pe
culiar system uf government, as demonstrated by
the solid aud practical wellbeing of the Stales tra
der its paternal sway. As much ns auy state of
the Continent has it cause to abhor those systems
of auarchy which, under the guide of patriotism,
lead ouly to revolution aud misery: and as ono of
the great conservators of the moir-rchical principle
in politic^ it is called upmi. by its very station and
diguity, to chock rather than to encourage what
may very possibly prove to be only a spurious at
tempt to gaiu licentiousness, rather than freedom.
Lombardy, no doubt, is allied to its iUostra

prosperous ami happy if left to ir-, If. On the con
trary, we have nodonht that, could I.mnbardv re
ceive at once the full license to . stnblbh its own
form of government, it would split into as niauy
petty states as there are large cities iu it, aud
would he plunged into all tbe horors of civil con
test. It is a most fortunate thing for tbe north of
Italy that it is under Ihe strong hand of tho most
steady and respectable power in Europe—ono
whose rulers will never set it a bad example, who
are able to protect it from all aggression, and who
watch over its Social and internal progress with
iiuceaseing care. The Lombards, like tho Irish
agitators, may cry out for "Repeal of tho Uniou;”
•»ut the grauting oftliat repeal would be tlio sign-
ing of the death-warrant of ualioiud prosperity.—
Austria is no enemy to rational, well-balanced lib
erty: there is no country in (he world where real
liberty and happiness are more widely diffused, or
more intensely felt. Its people are free from tho
clamour* of noisy and frelhy patriotism, which,-
when stripped of its folse clothing, proves nothing
more than vulgar and self interested ambition.—
They enjoy all the blessings of good government,-
and are able each man to situuderhiaown fig tree-
:ind to see all anmud him iu a sfutij of unmixed
prosperity. Snell a pou er as this will not readily
give way totlie declamations and “pronunciations”
ol the rabble; it will rather wait for tbe ameliora
tion of ihe notional c h meter; and, when it finds ita
subjects lit lor some of the introductory processus
of self-government, it will concede them.
\Ve could wish to see the other powers of Italy
taking advice from Aus’ria, and not hastening on-'
wards too rapidly along that path, wherii; a return
is so unpleasant and so difficult. Far better would
it ho for them to he too slow than too hasty with
political innovation: the safety of such a retardato-
ry course is certain, whereas the success of a more
rapid advance is exceedingly problematical.
As for England, whatever tends to the real ben
efit ol Italy most tend also to her advantage. She
has so many commercial, if uot political relations
with lhatcoutitry, that the well-being of a consid

the interests of her own traders. But Italy revo-'
iutionized will not be the Italy that now imports
large quantities of our goods, aud fhat pays for
lh«ni in valuable products of first-rate necessity to
the Engl sh consumer. Italy, well governed and
prosperous, will always offer a good mart for Bri
tish good.-; aud therefore, upon this grouud alone,
Great Britain is especially concerned to see that
the V euiusula remains quiet aud healthy. But to
take a higher view of the stale of things, it is the
true interest of England—whatever Radical ora
tors and Whig statesmen may think—to ally her-"
sell with tbe friends of good order iu Europo,
and to avoid ali connection with tho promoteraof
wars and tuinuhs. Franco would he delighted at

Bui for England, there cau be no secoud course to
pursue; ami having gained, her own freedom
through the long experience uud tho severe trials
of centuries, she can never honestly encourage
other UNliuii* to hope for similar results by Ino
proceedings of a few months and Weeks, If she
does, or rather if her ministers tamper with tho
revolutionary parly in Indy, or elsewhere, instead
of supporting the cause of steady government, she
abdicates the high position bhe bolds iu tile Euro-
Jtean faiudy, and deserves to lose those multifari
ous advantages,—those numerous possessions,-
which she lndds only ou the tenure of being tho
great supporter of reasonable freedom aud niter-
national justice.
The Used-up Politician.—The following
sketch of a “Used-up Politician” is from the pen uf
tbe late Joseph C. Neale:
Peter Brush was in a dilapidated condition—out
at elbows, out at knees, out at pockets, aud out
of spirit?, and out.iu the street—no “oat and outer”
in every respect. He sat upon the cuibs one, lean
ing his head upon his hand, his elbow beaiug placed
upon a stepping stone. Mr.Brush had for some
time been silent, absorbed in deep thought, which
he relieved at intervals by spitting through Lis
teeth furhirulv iuto the gutter. At length, heaving
a deep sigh, he spoke:
“They used to tell me, put uot your trust iu
princes and I havn’t- None of’em ev er wanted to
borrow nothing of me, aud I never see any of them

Gratitude.—Be careful to teach your children
gratitude. Lend them to acknowledge every favor
that they receive, to apeak of their benefactors,
nml to remember them in their prayers. Accus
tom them to distinguish with a marked regard,
their iustrnctoni, and those who have aiuo.1 them
in tne attainment of goodness or piety. It is an
interesting circumstance in the life of Atm, Count
ess of Pombroke, who was distinguished more than
two centuries since hy her learning, ana decision
of character, the languages she acquired, and tho
honors sho enjoyed, lhat she erected a monument
to tho memory of her tutor, and always apokcr ot
him with the utmost veneration, as her guido iu
