GARIBALDI. (To the Editor of Public Opinion,)
", ir — I always considered from the beginning that the Aiiuricau question was one which concerned all humanity and the whole world, and I was grieved to see that a part of the English public were opposed to the restoration of Union in the great Republic — which arose, it is well known, from causes ot raucour which preexisted between England and America; but it was a satl thing that the good sense of the people who first established the principle of the emancipation of the slaves did not manifest itself in applause to the North Americans, who showed themselves to be the instruments of Providence in carrying out the sublime idea. "May these lords of the ocean agr c then for the good of oppressed humanity ! Sons of the same mother, may they see that their noble race is now a days the bulwark of the right of nations, and that despotism foments dissensions between them because it fears them, and because it knows that if they were on good terms it would be impossible for it to execute its designs, which are fatal to liberty everywhere. Yours, &c. G. Garibaldi. " Caprera, May 1865." 4>
