THIS seals the doom Of Sham Democracy in

The HEROIC GARIBALDI-Garibaldi has fought
under many flags and in many clims, by land
and by sea, but not in the fashion of Dugald
Dalgetty never for money, ever for fame. To
the betrayal of freedom no money would tempt
him.
Garbaldi was a second mate on board a YES
sci trading between Nice and Odessa when he
was first inoculated by disciple Of Mazzini's
with the idea that Italians were made for some
destiny than to be the cooks, hair-dressers and
warblers for the world. Driven to South Amer
lea soon after, when he and his small band of
Italians which joined his standard held the lines
OF Montevideo against Rosas, he might have had
his weight in gold to yield the pass. At that
time ne is pictured as having been so completely
pennies that his clothes were in tatters, and he
had often to wait until morning light to write a
report by being unable to buy a candle For
days and days, his fare and that of his followers
was few beans stepped in water. Such was
the force OF his example, and their own sense of
honor, that his countrymen were as faithful as
himself, and as accomplishing, despite all hard
ships and privations and arrears of pay, to the
astOnishment of the crew of commissaries in
every country, who fancy that punctual pork
rations and cash pay are the sole sustcnance of
military stamina, the sole incentive of soldierly
ardor. 1t is notorious, they were obliged, SO I'M
willing was he to receive anything which could
subject him to the faint of being mercenary,
to borrow his worn cloak and other attire, and
then affect to have lost thcm in order to replace
them with new outfit. And some years SINCE
when similar epithet of "soldier Of fortune"
was applied to him by Lord Brougham, in igno-
rance Of his true character. these facts were de-
tailed by the British Ambassador, Lord Howden,
who, as Colonel Caradoc, was in South America
at the time, and who bore the highest testimony
to his noble character, both as soldier and a
man. In his course of command, he was sharp,
short and decisive as the Iron Duke himself
Whenever there was a black sheep in the flock,
who preyed upon the people, he coolly had him
shot; yet was he, when fighting against Rosas,
as when fighting for Italy, as considerable of the
comfort Of his band mother Of her children
nursed them in sickness, sustained them in sor-
row; the first to advance where danger was great
cst-the last to retreat, whatever the odds, and
they were often thousand to one. Eight bullets
at MontevideO have been known to riddle his
ragged costume in day, leaving his Carrara
skin white monumental marble, unchiseled by
a single scratch.
Then his defense of Rome under the triumyi-
rate OF Mazzini, Armanelli, and Saffi, was, in
itself, sufficient to stamp the uprising Of the ma
in lS48, as aniuteleetual phenomenon
that will command the admiration Of posterity.
The military Judgment and fertility OF resource
exhibited by Garibaldi on that occasion is ad.
United, by the highest military authorities, to
have never been surpassed. A more thorough
type of the genuine old Roman never Numbered
at the gates of tyrants, lightened in the field
the eagle crowned banner Of the Republic. In
appearance, as may be remembered by those who
have seen him, while, with true republican ener-
gy and independence, he earned his livelihood as
a manufacturer Of candles, on Staten Island, he
is not unlike the portraits of the great Genoesc,
Columbus, from whose native city he has started
on this last expedition Of freedom. Like such
old stamp of hero, in whose mold he has been
cast, he is an amphibious warrior, and battles on
shore and sea with Ike skill and hardihood-
Unlike Mazzini, who considers crown on any
brow, from the Alps to Syracuse, a sin, he is
practical and thinks Piedmontesc freedom better
than none. Thus now, after countless vicissi-
tubes, but ever true to the one cause. he has un-
fnrlcd the trieolor in Sicily, amid the prayer Of
all lovers of freedom for strength and victory to
its folds-[Ncw York Tribune.
PLEA FOR INNocESCE.-Mr. Wigfall objects
to the admission Of Kansas into the Union on
account gifts bad moral character" He saws
that he is unwilling that "Texas should associ-

objection worth considering. II Mr.. Wigfall can
show that the morality of Kansas is at 50 low an
