POPULAR MOVEMENT on BEHALF OF IrALr-
Tux GAEBALDI FUND.-A good cause is hall
She battle in argument, and therefore we
may suppose 1t will not be difficult for
us TO convince the people of New York
and the United States that they ought
70 do something for the hero Garibaldi, bis
brave followers and the cause Of freedom IN
Italy. We brosched the subject in former
issue, but we feel that II is not one that ought
10 be allowed to rest, and that whatever is done
ought to be done quickly. There Is no more
generous nation than orr own on the face Of the
earth. As our history and individual
acts will proclaim. We subscribed sixty
thousand dollars for the Pope, and twenty
thousand for the sufferers by the outbreak
In Syria, and We have shown ourselves ..
all times ready to lend our assistance in
promoting what we esteemed righteous, and
In amelicrsting the condition Of the distressed.
1t therefore only requires to be prominently
aad definitely made known that Garibaldi is
In want Of funds for carrying on the great
work be has begun, and that whatever we
choose to send him will be gratefully accepted,
80 make our citizens come forward and con-
tribute to the furtherance of so noble project
rs the emancipation Of Italy-that Italy which,
Just escaped from the grasp OF the tyrant, is
now on the verge OF liberty, and whose future
will be the glory Of the wsrld-the home of
freedom and the school of those arts which are
the great com ponnd and bulwark of our sd-
vancing civilization. For without art, science
and literature, in which Italy has shone most
glorious, y our civilization would die ont altoge-
cher, "a it did in the Byzantine empire ages
long ago.
We are well able and called upon to afford
Substantial aid to the man who, in letter
to one Of our citizens, which we pub
lished q fortnight ago, said:--"I shall feel
greatly obliged by your expressing my sym
patty for the American people, the grandeur
Of whose elevation admire and which arose
from the same revolutionary cause az that In
which the Italians are nov struggling for iber-
IT," There Is o bond Of sympathy between
xhs people of the United States and the heroic
General who lived 30 long among US, aud dur
Ing the greater part of the time had his home
on Staten leland, and Who lie now accomplishing
what Gil the world beside despaired Of. There
fore, Americans, will you not give him help
Fog hand in his lost great struggle for that
blessing which you yourselves enjoy-the
priceless boon Of liberty We have no wish
TO preach charity sermon. We leave it to the
good understanding and noble, liberal impulses
Of our people, than which there are none more
intelligent or ho-pitable In the world, and we
feel confident that they will do what Is right
ings upon the subject, and also to open sub
scriptiops in our cities and villages just rs We
ourselves have already done in the Office Of our
establishment; and that the invitation to raise
sum Of money, and handsome sum, too, viii
be promptly complied with, we feel certain.
