Vhis 10 plain ana strong talk, and has at all
events the merit of being free from the stale
and stereotyped views of the London press and
their New York copyists. At the same time,
we are glad to see that the Nsscs does justice
to GARIBALDI, whom it regards as a gallant
and honest, but mistaken man. GARIBALDI
is splendid fellow, genuine hero, a man of
noble, enthusiastic. confiding nature, who has
been betrayed more than once by Louis Ma
PoLroH and VICTOR EMANuEL. We fear that
II is his destiny TO b betrayed to the bitter
end /; for this world, especially the older and
more rotten portions Of 1t, is not promising
place for single-minded individuals.

But what an appearance did they pre-
