now as whelit he was fighting the sacred cause of freedom in America l
and he will never be a rich man, for his thoughts are directed to other
matters than money-making. Had he been more worldly, he might
have secured. any position he pleased-have been on the fair road to
become a M:ushal of but he declined. He would not 'have felt
at his ease among the courtiers of the Tnileries, and he, probably,
doubted the sincerity of Napoleon's protestations on behalf of Italy.
Had he allowed himself to be disarmed, it would have been an easy
task to thro'w the Peninsula once again into chains, which would have
proved as oiJterous as those of .Austria, although covered with velvet, but
Garibaldi's 11ound sense avoided the snare. Italy for the Italians! was
his watchword, and he felt that he could accomplish his task without
foreign aid. That he may be perfectly successful is Olll' moat earnest
prayer, and every lover of English liberty will join with us, we feel
assured, in wishing a happy and prosperous old age for the Italian
Washington .
