The new monarch of the Italians expressly bases his title to reign on the will of the people, expressed through the exercise of the least restricted mode of voting that ever has been known among men; and the people of Southern Italy never could have had the opportunity to vote their crown to him, if Garibaldi had not first freed them from the savage tyranny of Francis II.; and Garibaldi himself could not have acted for their deliverance, if Italy had not previously been delivered from the Austrians by France. Thus we have the French Emperor, designated as a _parvenu_ both in England and America, and owing his power to his name,--the democrat Garibaldi, whose power is from his deeds, and whose income is not equal to that of an Irish laborer in the United States,--the rich and noble Cavour, whose weekly revenues would suffice to purchase the fee-simple of Garibaldi's island-farm,--the King of Sardinia, representing a race that was renowned before the Normans reigned in England,--and the masses of the Italian people,--all acting together for the redemption of a country which needs only justice to enable it to assume, as near as modern circumstances will permit, its old importance in the world's scale. That there should have been such a concurrence of foreign friendship, democratic patriotism, royal sagacity, aristocratic talent, and popular good sense, for Italy's benefit, must help to strengthen the belief that the Italians are indeed about to become a new _Power_ in Europe, and in the world, and that their country is no more to be rated as a mere "geographical expression."
