His theory of government is certainly aH that the most ultra disciple of republicanism ask. The opening oentenoe is ns coining -from, the-lips of an autocratic sovereign, for it is the time democratic idea of the province of a government, "to protect the rights and the freedom of every one." It is worthy of note also 'that he advocates perfect religions freedom as essential to civil liberty. This is a long stride in reform by the most intolerant and despotic dynasty of the world. Under the new regime, with the Council of State and the High Court of Justice, Turkey becomes a limited constitutional monarchy. The duty of the State is to protect the rights and the freedom of every one.

Its action ought not to be made manifest by or arbitaary force, bnt by justice. Every one ought to seek the satisfaction of his pnvate interests in the-coinmon interest, accordingly the law should be based on equity and justice, The State be strong enough to defend the rights of the subjects. It 'Witt derive that strength from the wealth and prosperity the populations receive fre.nj -an administration regular, honest, and hostile to abuses. Had Turkey been able to utilize what was done in former "times for the common-wealth, ie would rank amongst the best governed ates. But the disagreements and the an- agouisrn in the public mind, as well as ant of confidence and security, bring the rum of nations, while it impedes te development of commere and public ealth To extirpate all difficulties, 4o uarantee the lights of all subjects, to m- dtute Councils of State, the members of hich will belong to all classes, to estab- iuh a High Court of Justice upholding the leparatioii of the executive, judicial and powers," such ore the reforms to ftccompliBhed, The rnenwfers of those cmnqils tmist consifler the empire as a hole formed by the nn- on of all claBBes'of 'subjects, and must act or the well being of all As to religions reeds, every one must be the master of i'ut'Uunn.

Between Cath.olieism.and freedom there is an irre- to -the contrary there is no combination in the world so fatal to the progress of political reform or to the spread of free institutions. No event of the future is looked forward to with such a dread by every true and loyal American as the possibility of Bornish domination in the United States. To contemplate such an event is to contemplate the end of a free government, and the prostitution of all that the friends of human liberty hold dear.

Every soldier recruited in this country to prop up the falling throne- of the Pope of Borne, is so much aidi in behalf of that, dreaded consummation as much as if the bafile were being fought on our own soil, whither it is the design and boast of'die -Catholic powers ultimately to transplant the seat of papal dominion. There will of course be found men ignorant and reckless enough to enlist in the "holy" crusade against 'liberty, bnt such are unworthy to be citizens of a republic consecrated to civil and religions liberty, iand the least disapprobation our government express is to declare forfeit the citizenship of all who are found willing to take up arms against Italian liberty, and in support of religious tyranny and'intolerance.
