put down the Roman Republic . Bg . t there is no doubt that we shall have move examples of the same thing before long . Russia , France , and Austria are now jointly tho masters of Europe , Russia holding the supreme place ; and there is no doubt that , whenever it seems desirable , these powers , or any ono of them , or any two of them , will interfere with the internal politics of any other European country , without the least scruple . No respect for the socalled principle of non-interference , which we talk about in this country , restrains such a power as Russia . Absolutism tends to conquest and interference , and it is the known belief of tho Emperor Nicholas with respect to himself , that his mission is to put down constitutional Government , by his diplomacy or by his armies , over Western Europe .
Such being tbe case , it becomes the Government of this country to have a clear and definite understanding as to what luie of procedure they will adopt in the case of a _repetition b y Russia or any other Absolutist power of the wrong perpetuated against Hungary . It becomes electors , too , to elicit from candidates an expression of opinion on this point ; and without going into too abstract a discussion of the whole princi p le of non-interference , to compel them to give an answer to such a question as this : — "In the case of Russia or any other despotic state interfering to put down a spontaneous movement of liberty in another and independenrt state , as vjas done by llussia in the case of Hungary , would you use yonr utmost endeavours to induce the Government of this country to protest against the interference , to employ all the influence of England as a 7 iation to prevent or defeat it , and to take the independence of the countru attacked under efficient protection . '"'
2 . The topic of England s duty in those cases where a people by the independent exercise of its own energies upon its own Government , frees itself from domestic thraldom , and establishes a new Government by a revolution , Rome is here also an example in point ; but more special still is the case of Sicily . The relations between this country and Sicil y have always been very intimate ; and if there is any people who have particular claims on British support , it is the Italians . There could be no better case than that of Sicd y , therefore , to cite in connexion with such a question as this at election meetings : — " Will you maintain the independent ri g ht of every people to order its oivn internal government as it thinks fit ? and , will you , as a _conseqxience , insist upon the duty on the part of onr Government , of instantly and unreservedly recognising , by official acts , a popular Government set np by internal revolution in any country , even though that Government should be of a republican form ?"
3 . The topic of England s past conduct and probable future procedure in the matter of Some , the French occupation , and the , Temporal Papacy . —Although the case of Home fails to be considered under the two previous heads , it is so important and peculiar that it may well have a distinct , head to itself . We are convinced that the country at largo is profoundly ignorant of tho extent to which Great Britain is implicated in the iniquity of restoring the Papal Government at Home ; and we bog tho earnest attention of electors while we quote a brief _sentence which will throw a now li g ht on this point . The following aro the very words in which our Whig ambassador at tho French court ( Lord Normanby ) , at the time of tho negotiations for French interference fo put down the Roman
republic and restore the Pope—that , is , on the IV ) th of April , 184 ' , )—expressed the wishes and the policy of tho Government of Great Britain in that scandalous affair . The words , as quoted from the correspondence laid before Parliament , aro these- . —' vl ( Lord Normanby ) told AT Dronye tic , JJuys ( the French Foreign Minister ) that the object which the French Government professed to have in view — ihe restoration of the . l . ' ape . under an improved form of Government— -teas precisely that which , I had always been instructed , to state , was also that of her Majcsljfs Government ; though , f or rettsons which 1 had then e . rplained to him , we , had not ¦ wishetl to tale , any aetine share in the negotiations . " * Tin s passage , we repent , ought , incessantl y and everywhere , on all occasions , to be
q noted ; if ought to be learnt by heart by all citizens of ( treat Britain ; it , ought to be engraven , as a sentence of shame , on a pillar of brass iu Downing-street ; lor it ; re p resents the crime of our land against , Italy , and it reveals , in one glimpse , that depth of bad statesmanship , from which Hit ; ollicial and parliamentary mind , even of our AVhig administrators , has to bo _brought , nj > , before Fngland find Italy nliall stand iu their proper relations to each other . Ami to bring up th e , _otlieiid mind of a country from such a . depth , is not , the work of a . day or a year . The Papal policy , with regard to our own country , and tin ; spectacle of flu ; horrors consequent , on that , very restoration of ( hi ; Pope in which we so hypocriticall y implicated ourselves , have indeed contributed to open many eyes ; perhaps there
is , even now , a touch of remorse in tin ; ollicial heart , and , at , any rale , if is not likel y that a . Whig Ambassador would again write such a passage as the foregoing were the same circimisfaiices repeated now . Still we are far from any promise of sueh a _I'arbaiueiifary tiv in inisi erinl policy with regard ( o Ital y as would answer the demands of sterling justice a policy to which we could I rust , for flit ; expiation , miii lifting occasion , of ( he fearful blunder indicated in that Norimnih y despatch , antl for ( lie _indeinniticat inn to I tidy < it' I he wrong so done , by nobler conduct towards her at . any similar juncture , that , may yet . arise . If is for
I lit ; electors I . o do Iheir best fo point fhe way fo such a policy ; and for this purpose let . _miv ] i questions as this figure prominently at all election meetings : " Do i / ou _tlisctaim the part which onr ( ioveruuteut acted , in . the af . fit ir of Ilio _liointtit _. _Ilcptthlic , and . will you do your utmost lo _ntaIre our Government intlannij ' y lo the Itomnux the wrong then done them , by - protesting against the . continued . ticcii put ion of Home by the _Frcn-ch , ant _nciyiuii evert / tipport unity fur bringing about the departure- of these- troops from the , lioinitn . soil , so that the lltnmtns may ai / aiu deal _, with the Secular I ' apaey at their own . will ami _jilcttHtire /"

4 . The Refugee Question . If there is any way in which England , at the least expense of thought or trouble to herself , can serve the cause of continental freedom , it is by affording tho right of asylum to political refugees—to men like Kossuth , Mazzini , and those who have been associated with them in the contest for liberty . To deny this ri ght of asylum , or to restrict it by conditions and limitations , would be the last act of self-degradation on the part of Great Britain . Yet wc know that even this ri ght has been put in jeopardy . Foreign courts and cabinets , and especiall y those of France and Austria , havo had communications with our Government in regard , to the refugees ; and whoever will study the language of Lord Derb y on this point , in his opening speech as Premier , or will call to
mind Lord Malmesbury and his rejected Extradition of Criminals Bill , will see that , notwithstanding general assurances about " breathing the free air of England , " and tho like , which no British minister could avoid , there is and will be a considerable disposition on the part of a Derby Government , or any other Government similarl y constituted , to play into the hands of foreign despotic courts , in the matter of the refugees . Let such a question , as the following , therefore , figure at the election meetings : "Will you do yonr best to maintain intact the ri ght of this country to afford ctn asylum , to political refugees ? and will you oppose any attempt on the part of our Government , whether by letter-opening or espionage , or in the case of an Extradition of Criminals' Jiill , to restrict or impair this right ?'
5 . The duty of England in regard to thr , protection of her subjects abroad . The cases of Mather and Alurray oug ht not to be forgotten at election meetings , and a question to this effect ought to be put to candidates : — " Will yon do your utmost to induce , on the part of onr Government , a decided and peremptory course of action , whenever a British subject is treated ¦ with insult b y of a despotic country ?" the authorities
