Meeting Of Italian sympthIzers.

meeting Of Italian sYmpthtzer8.
Tho Melodeon was moderately filed last
night with sympathizers with Garibaldi and
his associates now engaged in liberating their
country from The tyranny of the last remain
ing dynasty Of the once powerful House Of
Bourbon. Nearly every European nation
judging from the pbysiognomy of those
present was represented, and deep interest
in the cause Of Italian freedom was mani
tested. ..4 M f.r.l E-t.a-H
The meeting was presided over by VIM. W.
Fosdiek, who made few remarks cxplana-
tory OF the object Of the meeting.
Hon. VIM. NJ. Cory the orator of the
evening, was then introduced to the audience
He reviewed the history of Sicily, and the
cruelties of its Bourbon rulers, who were f.
only to be classed with the Tiberiases and
Neros of the Roman Empire. He pro-
nounced Garibaldi the greatest man of the
age, and just the one 10 bring TO a successful
termination the struggle he had so gloriously
begun. He (Garibaldi) had early left his own
country in disgust, because it had become
prey of tyrants, and emigrated to South
America, where he espoused the cause of the
Argentine people against the tyrant Rosa
and his minion, Admiral Brown.
When the Revolutions of lS4S first broke
out he returned to Italy, and with undisci-
plined recruits maintained Rome against her
besiegers for longer time than any other Of
her commanders during her career of thou
sand years; and when all hope was lost, he,
with little band of devoted followers, cut
his way through the Neapolitan army, and
made his escape with his devoted wife, whom
he afterward buried with his own hands.
When he came to America he avoided the
concourse of people who awaited his land
ing, by rowing in n skif to the shore. He
refused all assistance that was prohered him,
and engaged as day laborer in a candle
factory, thereby exhibiting genuine great
ness which 1t would be well for the unfortu-
nate to initiate.
Mr.. August Willich, editor of the Rsoub-
hkdner, delivered short speech in his native
tongue, in which he avowed his hostility to
Napoleon, but expressed unbounded sympathy
with the Italians. Although the Germans
had been regarded as the oppressors of Italy,
yet, in the struggle for liberty, the two people
would always be found side by side.
Mr. James Garlbaldi an Italian resident
Of this city, read an address in English, and
was followed by Mr. Calferetti, who spoke in
Italian
The speakers were frequently interrupted
by the most vehement applause and the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed without q
dissenting voice: .. =. ..s.a...
