The case against GARIBALDI is as clear and strong as a case can be. They have been forced to judge the conduct of the Italian patriot, in taking by force the steamers necessary to convey his gallant companions to the rescue of Sicily, and in violating the express law of Sardinia by setting on foot within her dominions a hostile expedition against a "friendly Power " by a very different standard from that which they keep comfortably laid away for the humiliation of America whenever a Lopez sails from the Gulf for Cuba to prostrate the tyranny of Spain, or a Walker flits by night from the Mississippi to deliver the Nicaraguans from their own incapacity. The fair-weather political moralists of Europe in general, and England in particular, have been put by GARIBALDI into a very distressing position.
