Napoleon and the Italian question.
To the Italian question, in the hands of the
Emperor Napoleon, Ito might apply, as an
interrogatory, the title of Lytton Eulwer's
last book, g , What will lie do with it P' A
reel in a bottle is not a greater puzzle to chil
dren than the policy of Napoleon, upon this
question, has been and is to the world. Why
he undertook to break down Austrian occupa
tion and influence in Italy ; why he stopped
short at the moment when the game seemed
entirely in his own hands; and what ho may
yet do to fulfill his emphatic promise of
making Italy tree from the Alps to the Appe
nines, are matters still in doubt, still tinder
discussion. We have a little volume before us,
published this week,• which throws more light
upon the subject than any other publication,
American or foreign, which has fallen under
oar notice, and shall use it freely in using it
while discussing the points which are in dio
rite.
Upon American politics wo should scarcely
be inclined to accept Mr. 'Grand's opinions as
authoritative, because he bee shown no
small degree of inconsistency about them.
On European politics, on the other hand, we
admit him to be extremely well informed.
A foreigner himself, and master of various
living tongues, ho has gad the Rather ad
vantage of extensive travel, and more particu
larly during the present year, while the Italian
war was in progress. What he observed and
learned, and the conclusions ho has arrived at,
may be found In his book. Ito has written of
the Present with reference to those incidents
in the Past—that prophet of the Vuture—
Which, even yet, out of the debris of broken
thrones and crushed dynasties, are trumpet
tOngued, if we would but listen to what they
say.
ffe fairly starts with a declaration of his
gbod opinion of the present ruler of the
French whom a certain, or rather an uncer
tain, portion of the American public have
been pleased to abuse—not precisely because
ho has obtained sovereign power, but because
lie did not try an impracticable manner of ob
taining it. Ito says; If It shall appear in
the following pages that the present monarch
of France has really surpassed the expecta
tions of his contemporaries—if it shall 100
found that he has givelFranco a controlling
influence on the destinies of Europe—that ho
has undertaken the regeneration, perhaps the
political re-division of that continent and that,
to accomplish this, ho has already conducted
two great wars to a successful issue, the con
clusion is Inevitable that ho has wielded power
to some purpose ; and, we may, without justi
fying the meant by which ho obtained It,
but starting from it as an accomplished fact,
do justice to his commanding talents, the won
deriLl productiveness of his genius, and the
perseverance and energy which mark his pre
sent career. We must judge of the Emperor's
motives from the French stand-point, not from
our own; and of his plans as they affect
France."
Passing over many of the numerous issues
brought under discussion by Mr. Grund, wp
shall hero confine ourselves simply to Napo
leon's policy and conduct on the Italian
fiaeStion. First, then, why did ho take it up ?
the closing year of the last century, rho
fleet Napoleon, himself an Italian, (he was ac
tually born in 1768, before Genoa ceded Corsica
to France,) broke down foreign domination in
Italy. What did rho Italians thereby gain ?
Mr. Grund truly says: " They wero roused
from Baehr state of torpor, and made to parti
cipate In the great struggle for worldly power.
They shared the activity, the success, the
glory of their conqueror, who was himself In
name and origin en Italian. The feudal
tenures Were abolished. They obtained laws
adapted to modern society, equal, and com
paratively cheap administration of justice,
public roads, security from robbers and bandits,
and a well-appointed and disciplined army,
alike available for offensive and defensive pur
poses. From such an improved condition
there was but ono stop toward national eleva
tion and independence."
Napoleon did not elevate Italy into an Inde
pendent nation. The treaties of 1815 restored
Austrian rulers to her central Duchies, restored
Lombardy and also surrendered Venice, with
its territory, to Austria. So, not without oc
casional revolts, did Italy continuo until the
outbreak of the war in 1859, at which time
Austrian Italy had a population of 5,030,000,
while the Sardinian Kingdom had 5,800,000
inhabitants. But the three Duchies—Parma,
Modena, ond Tuscany, all under Austrian in
fluence, possessed a population of 2,900,000
souls.
The various revolts in Italy occurred In
1820, in 1830, and in 1818. In this last year,
they became almost general—Charles Albert,
King of Sardinia, alone being on the popular
side. Ho was defeated, however, at the bat
tle of Novara, In the spring of 1849, and im
mediately niter abdicated, in favor of his son,
Victor Emmanuel, the present King of Sar
dinia, a prince of high spirit, who has ever
since governed his people upon paternal and
liberal principles.
The policy upon which Austria has govern
ed her Italian possessions has been incorrectly
taken to be of modern date. Mr. Grid says:
D. is an error to suppose that the misgo
vernment of Italy, of Germany, and of Aus
tria proper, Is merely the result of Mettornich's
policy, and it is a roinantio delusion to imagine
that that policy was hurled with the Austrian
Chancellor. The Austrian policy is of Spa
nish origin—it is a system Inherited from
Charles V., which will endure as long as a
llapsburger occupies a throne in Europe.
Metternich was nothing but its able exponent
during a long period of years, which identified
him, in the eyes of his contemporaries, with
the principles on which he acted. /Ds prede
cessors and successors have pursued the same
policy ; though none but Prince Kaunitz, un
der Maria Theresa, has enjoyed a similar op
portunity of arriving at signal distinction.
Austria is the living embodiment of the reac
tionary principle in politics, and all her states
men must act in that sense. Progress, except
in is material direction—which 13 perfectly
compatible with moral decline—national ele
vation, liberty are her natural enemies, which ,
she Is compelled to oppose, to preserve the
territorial integrity of her Provinces." It is
easy to see, therefore, that liberty and consti
tutional government in Piedmont must have
been excessively distasteful to Austria and to
the Italian Duchies governed by princes of
the House of 'Hapsburg.
Victor Emmanuel applied himself, from his
accession to the throne, to repair the injuries
which his country had sustained In the (peas.
trous campaign of 1848-49. Ho had scarcely
a friend in the whole fraternity of European
sovereigns. Ho bided his time, and found a
supporter in Louis Napoleon, elected to the
Imperial crown of Prance at tho close of
1852.
Tho absurd policy of England, which, tub
der Pitt and his successors, had spent twenty
years of war in contending for the principle
of Legitimacy—the restoration of tho hated
Bourbon race—had been abandoned, in 1830,
on the deposition and flight of Charles the
Tenth. Called to the throne, Napoleon
gladly sought that alliance with England
Balled the entente cordiale, which, though
weakened lately, has been his strongest stay,
and which we, for ono, do not imagine ho
will over attempt to put an and to. The
point which first engaged France and Eng
land in a strong alliance, was the necessity of
checking the aggressive movement of Russia
against Turkey, c , the sick man" of the late
Czar. Mr. Crund says: "The entente tor
diate between Orleanistic France and England
was a mere diplomatic arrangement; but that
between Imperial Franco and England was an

Europo, and Its probable coneequenoes to the United
Btatos, By Francis 3. Grand. One volume, Igmo..p, gta,
Philadelplue, i OMlds .3c Peterson.
historical event which promised action and
corresponding changes in the future."
Franco and England united, is what is now
called the Crimean War, against Russia. Aus
tria, also in this alliance, declined lighting,
but occupied Moldavia and Wallachia, which
Russia had invaded and abandoned. Napo
leon, with a view to the tature, allowed Sar
dinia to enter the lists against Russia, and in
the Crimea the Piedmentese troops did gal
lant service. Yet more, Sardinia, crushed by
Austria only tour or five years before, was
here an active member of the anti-Russian al
liance, while Austria, for whom the Czar bad
put down the Hungarian insurrection in 1849,
was but a passive member. Sardinia thus won
honor and status, while Austria was hated by
Russia, as an ingrate, and distrusted by Ens
land and France as almost a neutral.
Why did Napoleon attack Russia I Our
authority says that, whatever may have been
hie personal motives, he advanced the cause
of civilization by his war against Russia. "He
had the tact to perceive that France, under
whatever form of government, was not safe
from invasion as long as the Holy Alliance of
Russia, Austria, and Prussia remained in full
force. The doctrine of intervention, which
that association of Sovereigns had proclaimed,
and on which it had acted for more than a
generation, had at one time (under the restored
Bourbons) received the assent of France;
while England, though honorably dissenting
from it, contented herself with a mere feeble
protest against it. The Holy Alliance, there
fore, had to be severed, and it was severed by
the Crimean campaign."
When Napoleon had gained what he wanted
ho ended the war, and that In such a manner
as to make an ally of RUB/Ski, between whom
and Austria the seeds of future enmity were
sowed. From that time, the relations of France
with Russia became friendly, while those with
Austria gtew cold.
Public opinion looked, upon a war between
France and Austria. Count Cavonr, the able
political adviser of Victor Emmanuel, then
"showed to the Emperor Napoleon that Aus
tria was net merely a Sclavonlc-German, but
also an Italian Power, and that she might as
well be attacked in Lombardy, as on the coast
of Dalmatia ; that in fighting Austria in Italy,
the national aspirations of the Italians, their
deadly hatred of Austria, public sentiment in
England and in a portion of Germany at least,
would he on the side of Napoleon, and that
France, in paralyzing Austrian influence In
Italy, would diminish that influence to a still
greater extent in Europe, and in the eamo ra
tio add to her own." Napoleon seriously
considered these propositions, prepared for
war, and snubbed Baron Hubner, the Austrian
Ambassador at Paris, on last New Year's Day.
No doubt Napoleon, known to the French
army only as a civilian, was anxious to
strengthen his dynasty by reviving, in his own
person, the gimlets traditions of the first
French Empire; to give employment to that
army, which had been three years idle; to
extend hie influence in Italy commercially, as
well as politically; to humble Austria; and
all this be could do without annexing ono
square mile of Italian territory to his own do
minions. This he did.
No need hero of recapitulating Hag events
of tho late Italian campaign—commenced and
concluded in ten weeks—from the Austrian
declaration of war to the agreement for peace
at Villafranca, three weeks after the crowning
victory at Solferino. Instead of quarrelling
with France, it was Piedmont which was as
sailed by Austria, whereupon Victor Emma
nuel solicited that substantial aid from Napo
leon, which deprived Austria of the better
half of her Italian possessions.
Here comes the groat point in dispute.
Why, with the ball at his feet, after the defeat
of the Austrians at Solferino, did Napoleon
content himself with iniatching Lombardy
alone from Austria? Mr. Grand fairly an
swers this query. War between France and
Germany was inevitable it the Italian cam
paign continued. There was a vast confede
rate German army, prepared with all the mu
nitions of war. II Was this army," Mr. Grund
suggests, to be idle on the Rhine, and ex
haust the resources of the country, till Aus
tria. was completely prostrate.—till she was
driven from her strongholds in Lombardy and
Venetia—till Verona and Mantua received
French and Piedtnontese garrisons, till the
army of Francis Joseph was retreating through
the Tyrol to defend the Austrian capital?
Were half a million of Germans to ground
arms till the victorious French army, led by
the Emperor Napoleon himself, recrossed the
Alps, or were they to strike while the best
French troops were yet engaged in the plains
of Italy? Were they to wait for the destrue
tion of the Austrian army, or save that army
by an aggressive movement which would
oblige thy French Emperor to divide his
forces There was but one answer to these
questions, and no ono anticipated it more
shrewdly and correctly than Napoleon himself.
He spoke the naked truth, from the fulness of
his heart and mind, when he assured his army
that Mower c threatened to assume proportions
no longer commensurate with the interests of
France.'" Thus, Napoleon 'made peace at
Villafranca, to prevent the rulers of Austria
and Prussia becoming friends on a common
battle-field, in view of a common danger, from
a common enemy," when alone they could
have been reconciled. Even had Venice and
the whole province of Venetia been taken by
the French, could Napoleon have followed
Francis Joseph into the Tyrol, knowing that
the moment ho set foot on that German eon,
half a million German soldiers would rise
against him—or could ho hope to hold Venice
and Venetia "so long as there was an Aus
trian army in the Tyrol, and a Bavarian. one
ready to co-operate with it, ready at any time,
to descend, through the mountain passes, upon
Brescia, Milan, and Verona? Was it not more
prudent, then, and in the end more beneficial
to Italy herself, that the German army on the
Rhino should be disbanded (as it now is) than
that further conquests should be attempted
which, if successful, could not be maintained
exempt by a general war, and if frustrated,
might Involve all that had previously been
gained?" Moreover, how far would Russia
carry her good understanding, for there was
no alliance with France on the event of an
European war arising out of the War in Italy?
What has Italy gained by the war France
has not taken one acre for herself, but has
annexed the richest and most fertile province
of Italy to the Kingdom of Sardinia. The
Lombards have obtained the equal and liberal
political institutions which have raised Pled
pont from a petty principality to a powerful
Kingdom. Napoleon did not perform all ho
hoped—but lie performed all he could. The
safety of his Empire and of his Crown would
have been imperilled bad he pursued the con
test this year. Franco gained nothing—Pied
mont won much. " For more than a thousand
years," wo are told, " have the Italian States
been the theatre of war, and the spoils of
foreign conquerors. England, France, Spain,
and Germany have divided lxsr w ae `qtir booty;
the last war was the only ono which was
waged for her benefit; the victor surrendering
his apoils."
Piedmont, invaded by Austria, was doll
vered. Austria had to resign her paramount
influence In Italian attains, and join the Italian
Confederacy, merely as an Italian Prince ru
ling Venetia. The separate Treaties of Aus
tria with the Italian States, since 1915, aro all
made waste paper. Austria gives up Lom
bardy to Piedmont, and is isolated in her
Italian policy, and will probably be as much so
iu the Congress as she was after her defeat at
Solferino. Besides, by the peace of Villafran
ca the Prussian army and the German contin
gents were disbanded, and, even to hold his'
own in Austria, Francis Joseph must carry
out great internal reforms. Lastly, it appears
conceded that Central Italy will be allowed to
work out Its own salvation, and if they aro un
able to do so, wo must conclude that they aro,
as yet, unfit for liberty.
By the way, we aro reminded, in this book,
that Napoleon's proposition. agreed to at
Villafranca, of an Italian Confederation under
the Presidency of the Popo, so MY from being
TWO CENTS.
a new idea, was actually. put forward, before
the first French Revolution, by Cardinal Orsini,
one of the councillors of Pope Pies VI. It really
would substitute the Pope, at Rome, with a
liberal Government, for the Emperor of Aus
tria, at Vienna, with a despotic autocracy.
On the effects of the late contest upon the
various States of Europe, Mr. Grand goes into
many details—but we have no space to discuss
them. England, he thinks, is almost reduced,
in a political sense, to a second-rate European
power—but possessing the elements, if wisely
used, of regaining much of what she seems to
have lost, and of attaching new allies to her
cause. Ho counsels her to seek the fastulship
and sympathy or the United States.
The concluding chapter, in which Mr. Grand
discusses the manner in which the political
changes in Europe may affect the United
States, is a capital summing-up, but we must
leave it untouched. No dotibt the volume
will find numerous readers, as it is pregnant
with facts and thoughts.

HOUSE OP RERESENTATMS.
Mr. TAILLLNDIOIIAM, of Ohio, remarked that the
courtesy he extended to others at all times, he was
resolved to exact for himself at every hazard ' • and
therefore last evening be bad a right to expect the
eourtesy of an adjournment. as he did not then
!fish to address the house. He reputed what he
bed said, that the man who endorsed Helper's
book, containing insurrectiona ;sentiments, and
intended to sow the seeds of discord, strife, and
clod war, was not fit to be Speaker ora member of
this House. The gentleman from 'Virginia (Mr.
blillson) the other day went farther, and said such
a men was not fit to live ; yet the Republieuis res•
calved this remark as mute as ashes and gentle as
lambs and they most regard this observation from
him not as a menace but sober truth. He bad
been served with a notice from the Repabllean
side that they were determined not to listen to any
further remarks from him. For this be did not
care. He would tell them the country held its
breath in suspense and listens to the slightest word
which falls from the lips of gentleman hers pre-
sent.
This Union had been threatened. He cceirpied a
position of nenttality. ,Ife was not a Northern
man, end bad no sympathy, end very little good
feeling, for the North..lle was bouni to it by no
ties whatever, except by the strongest of all Hee—
a common language and common country. Least
of all was be a Northern man with Southern
principles. life was a United States man, with
United States principles. He was for giving the
South all that belonged t 6 ft—the Attritive-slave
law, the right to slavery in the ! t erritories, and
whatever rights the Conatitution center/. Our
fathers made the compact, and be would yield to It,
not a grudging but a reedy obedience in all its
parts. [Applause.] He was not a pro-slavery man
or a non-pro slavery Wan, but bad a sereneindlifer
ante on the subject. He thought be 000upled the
constitutional ground of our father*. in whose
days the people were animated by pateiotitm, and
bed not, as some have now, an anti-Slavery God,
an anti-Slavery Bible. and an anti-Slavery Consti
tution. lie avowed himself a Western man by
birth. sentiment, and education ; while, at the same
time, he avowed himeelf a constitutional man He
said Mr. Corwin bad been detailed to lead the for
lore hope of the Republicans, and to be shot down
at the Malakoff. Ile could never oonquer. The
next census would chow that the Valley of the Mis
sissippi bee a majority of the people of the etnrotry,
who would administer a government for the bens
tlt of all. People have lent themselves too long to
the North to make cause against slavery and help
to light for Northern masters, who, if sucoeuful
with Seward or any other Republican, would di
vide the spoils among themselvee. They would not
listen to the voice of patriotism. Let them be go
verned by self-reseed
Let them lay aside their fanaticism and be West.
ern tectionelials. lie despised them as moth for
their eervility to the North, as they could despise
servility in othrrs to the So uth. Ha came now to
speak of a painful and difficult subject—that of dis
union—a word which bad become as familiar WI
the most ordinary word of salutation. There wee
not a day but what they beard the croaking of the
raven and the mournful and dirgeful wail. He
would tell gentlemen that the doctrines of Seward,
Hale, and the New York Tribune are those of a
majority of the people of the North and a minority
in the West. There was in one column of the
Cincinnati Commercial more ehowmg the Re
publican sentiment in Ohio than in a thousand
speeches of Mr. Corwin—who, be said, with re.
spent, does not only not represent the Republicans
of that State, but was not a leader or a respectable
follower. [ Laughter.]
lie proceeded to argue that there was greet end
imminent danger of a disruption of this Union.
There are but few men North or South who desire
it, while others are reckless whether it comes or
not. He would not concede that the leaders of
the Republican party are actuated by honest
and conscientious motives in their opposition to
slavery. In the earlier days of Abolitionism ft
might have been so, but not now'. It was &war for
political mastery, and was used now as the political
algebra of the day to make out disunion, He de
clared, in the course of his remarks, that be was
nuttiest disunion, now and forever. Be held to one
Union—one Constitution—one destiny--which could
not be fulfilled except as a united peo ple , and by
the immediate, total, and uneondittons surrender
of the sectional and anti-slavery Republican party.
[Applause.]
Mr. PENNINGTON, of New Jersey, offered a rm.
lotion, that till a choice was made for Speaker the
Rouse will proceed to vote at one o'clock, and
after three ballots, no further vote chill be taken.
Ills object was. that gentlemen should not be sur
prised by a vote in their absence, and they could
retire afterward, satisfied that no _further vote
would be taken.
Mr. Cnewronn, of Georgie, who held the door,
s‘id that friends around him_ objected to this
motion.
Mr. exturxs, of Virginia, said that. unless they
adopt some such resolution, a vote might be Inning
on thorn at any time, to the detriment of Demo
crate, some of whom might be' absent. The ad
vantage might be taken, and would be justifiable
by parliamentary tattles
Mr CRAwronn said be regarded Mr. Sherman
ne the exponent of the Republioan and sectional
party, and as such, be would bold him up to the
country. The North look on slavery se a em. The
South eoreider it in accordance with the Divine
teaching. Bow can we compromise it? This
question has been settled more than half a dozen
times within the last forty years, and yet the anti
slavery sentiments were never so strong as they are
to-day. On the other hand, pro-slavery senti
ments in the South were never more powerful than
now. The whole Matter resolves itself into the
question of slavery sea disunion, or no slavery
and union.• Ms position. and that of his consti
tuents, was taken. The position of the North was
also taken, and there was no mistaking it. It has
been said that the South has committed aggressions,
and violated compromised. Ile denied that the
'South had violated the rights of the North, from
the foundation of the Government notil now, either
by tariffs, bounties upon gab, or navigation laws,
or en slavery.
. .
He proceeded to reply to Mr ll!Oxman, who had
said that the South had violated compromises.
after having received the benefits of their aide of
the bargain. This statement Mr. Crawford dis
puted. For the first thirty years from the organi
sation of the Government, there wan no aggres
sion, even upon the part of the North, In regard to
territorial organization ; there was no effort to ex
tend the principles of the Wilmot proviso in the
organisation of the States of Tennessee, Alabama,
and other new States, and to exclude slavery. He
called on Mr. Hickman to explain what he meant
by the Missouri Compromise.
Mr. HICKMAN, of rennsylvanla. I meant to
say that, by the Comprcudse, slavery WAS ax
eluded-from all Territories north of 38 deg. 30
min. It was not to go there from thenceforward
forever. But that Compromise having been en
tered into for the purpose of getting Missouri into
the Union as a State, the benefits arising from it
were deetroved by the subseguent legislation of
1850 end ISM
•Mr. CRAWFORD. I bad expected as much from
the gentleman, and know that he was wholly unin
formed In reference to this question, and his people
are wholly uninformed. In 1820, for the first time
in history, the Government was, after thirty years,
in uninterrupted enjoyment of Om property
in the Territories. When Missouri same forward.
asking to be permitted to form a Constitution and
coma into the Union as a State, Ishat was proposed ?
That the restriotion of slavery should be the condi
tion of her admission. This was the first aggres
sion, and it came from the North, and not the
South. Then Congress refused to admit Missouri
under the compromise, although slavery bad exist
ed there for sixteen years, and it was not admitted
until afterwards.
Mr. CaAWFORD proceeded to give a history of
events succeeding the adoption of the Missouri re
striction, showing that the North had been the
aggressor. Under the present oirenmstances his
people believed the Union cannot be preserved.
Ho was proud of tho Northern Democrats who had
stood by the Constitution, but he would tall them
they wore powerless against the great Republican
party. He alluded to - Helper as a Southern traitor,
and a poor miserable wretch who was driven from
the place of his nativity to take refuge among the
sacred observers of compacts in the North The
South bad no fears regarding slavery. It was an
institution that could not be disturbed by Inch a
book as that of Helper's, even with Seward's re
commendation. He said John Brown expected
help from the North, but, while they had the will,
they had net the Courage to assist hint. /de quoted
