Tbe compliment is stilt farther enhanced by tbe fact that I have credit to the nilgh ieat of the youDg monarch* of Cnrlateo- dom—to ft people thrilling with the marvelous sap uf anew nailunal life, I which bids fair to restore the golden days when tbe sons of Italy dowered tbo pirtlon- less earth with the sublime*! manifesta tions of linmtn genius—to a sovereign whose wisdom ami skill are rapidly urging his young mind oa to tne foremost pltce In tbe conotil chamber of nations, and who, as we have been reminded to-night, earned the homage of all men, honor and tree kingliness by fac ing in tbe interest of tbe humblest of his sunjeclsjthe dread spectre of pestilence with a calm fortitude and conta ■out courage more chlvalr ns tbsn tost which Illumes the battle end make* np the splendor of history. And here Isbell be pardoned if 1 spend a single moment, since allusion has been rnado to It, in reference to a matter which otherwise I should deem it dne to the pro prieties of my position to pass by here, as I have done elsewhere and everywhere, totally unnoticed. I refer of conree to the clamor which Ihe chsmploni ol free speech end a free press, forsootii. have raised over the position I assumed and avowed some fourteen or fifteen years ago on the pnbllo question ot tbe exclusion of ihe Pupa from the civil government ot Home, ol which he was the sov ereign. That position was simply ithe fundimeatal mIm of public law that tbe invasion of tbe territory of a peaceful neighbor and tho subversion of bis authority constitute a violation of the rights of that sovereign and a blow at that freedom and equality of States which by tbe common law ot nationt are the esien- tial, fundamental and universal at tributes of ail governments, irre- spective of age or size or power. In regard to that position I have no qualification to make. No honor conld compensate for its abandonment. It is right now snd always. But another proposition ot public law is equally funda mental—that the acqnieteence of the peo pie ol an invaded State in a change of sovereigns, in so far as the world is concerned, it a conclusion of the pabllc question, and must determine thereupon tne Judgment of all people. I am to day, as are millions ot my country men. reaognlsiog with the fnlleat loyalty tbe authority of a gov- sr .m.nt over my own State founded on what I considered a gross and bloody violation o’ milted against my.^,. .....
