The patriotic citizens Of Gotham are aWays Oh tie
qui-vve TO do good action ready with thertfa
IN the cause Of everything that has the appearance
Of senevolence. The Kansas sharp's Rife excitement
having died out they have been forced to Iook around
for something else in which to invest This, The
Evening Post-Fremont orgsn-of the sth inst, offers
in the following: @ssEst IN tssss 3ss8ss4Ra
The present condition of the Kingdom Of sardin;a
threatened as IL s by the Austrians and the Pon and
Justly distrusting the friendship Of France saWaken-
ing lively interest among the friends Of cSngtt-
tlonal freedom. We observe that q movement Is on
loot among the principal towns of England for seu
ing present of cannon to the fortress of Alessan-
s the key to the Kingdom of Sardinia on the side Of
Austria. 1t is fifty miles from Tnrin and about one
HUNDRED miles from Milan, the old battlefield Of
aarengo. when the Sardnians were defeated by the
Auseans AZ Novara in 1849 the latter demanded the
privilege OF gaErIaonpg this fortress till the eoncIu.
SION OF peace Ishaa been suggested that present

serve as an appropriate expression Of our sympathy
for the sardinians and their cause Nor eond ii be
Objected to as an improper interference in European
politics For particulars on this subject we refer to
Mr. 9. Valerie, 10 William street. formerly Sandman,
consul at this port, who is always ready TO confer

This is glorious enterprise, and will succeed, of
course. We are sure Parson Beecher will preach
sermon On the subject He made 90 much capital out
of sharps rifles that he will not let this opportunity
| slip.
Now, we have long Iamented the fact that the
Queen City of the South should be behind her Great
rival at the North in deeds of charity and interna
tional courtesy. Never have we subscribed dollar
for buying Sharp's rifles Or anything eIsa. ii Is
shame, crying shame, and in view Of the faes ne,
asjournasts who have the reputation of the city al
heart make the following proposal Let the good cit
izens of New Orleans at set about raising funds
by subscription and otherwise, to be applied to the
purpose which we will specify. Ezs sss& $tts N
Every one who has ever passed week here will be
willing to take oath that there are more itnera1t
Italian organ grinders in streets than in those Of
any other city this side of Babel These unfortunate
individuals mostly men who to use their own ex
preston, /" have seen better days" and who have
been forced to leave fair Italia" by the tyrannic
orders Of the depos who misgoyern that sunny land
Now we propose to apply the moneys raised as
above, to the deaying the expenses Of these unfor
tunate victims of despotisn back to their native land
there to assist the gallant sardinans in the expected
struggle between constitutional liberty and tyranny
They are to be armed, as matter of course, with
their hand organs which, if effectively piled there
as here, will run every Austrian from Italy.
Citizens of New Orleans, think on the matter. -
