The states of the King of Sardinia formed the sole exception. They were not, it fs true, very extensive, but the military education of the people, the skill and Srmnees of the princes and the ad. Vautages of the geographical situation of the country, placed Picdmont among the Powers of second order, an¢ eaused her to be considered as the natural defender of Ntalian independence.

Austria ‘was then a powerful neighbor, but she was not a monac- ‘Bog one. ‘This political arrangement was not exempt from incon- Yenience, but the division sanctioned at Paris and at Vienna in 1814 and 1816, was infivitely more disastrous for Italy in general, and for Piedmont in particular. ‘The annexation of the States—that union of two popula- tions under a national government—was a benefit for which the Congress of Vienna deserves thanks, but it was fm no respect sufficient to counterbalance the enormous Sggrandisemeut of Austria in Italy. That Power not only acquired a territorial extension twice as large as the old ene, but it united the Italian provinces to the hereditary State, The republic of Venice isolated, at the beginning ef the century, the Austrian possessions in Uj Italy; Dut the grant of the Venetian spoils to Austria destroyed entirely the relative power of the States from which Pied- mont derived her force and Italy her security. Half a eentury’s experience authorizes the erninent of Sardi- Bia to rej what it declared in 1814: ‘In the old division ‘we saw the source of the weakness of Upper Italy; in the ew one wo see her complete subjection.” * A ential occasion now presents itself for reform- ‘Dg an arrangement which is so prejudicial,and which, ‘we may say without fear of deceiving ourselves, is even @ontrary to the wishes and the provisions of those who ap- oved it.

GAZZANIGA’S RENTRES. ‘The first appearance this season of Madame Gazzaniga, who bas a merited and enduring hold upon the affections of the operatic public, combined with the performance of the ‘‘Poliuto,” in which she sang the réle of Paulina for the first time, attracted a full house tothe Academy last evoning. It was @ very flattering recognition of the claims of a truly excellent artist, this audience, which in. cluded the crémede la créme of metropolitan society; all the beat known connoisseurs and opera habitués were at their posts. ‘The performance of Paulina by Mme. Gazzaniga was a very fine piece of lyric acting. She has evidently given ‘the most thorough study te the réle, and to all its require- ments was quite au fait. Her voice was hardly in its best condition, on account Of a cold caused by the sudden and violent changes in the weather, which have made catarrhs epidemic just at this moment. Notwithstanding this drawback, Madame Gazzaniga sang exceedingly well, giving the music the fervent, pure and chaste tone which it demands. Sho was excecdingly fine in the noble finale of the second act, and the favorite duet of we Jast. Without instituting particular comn+rbous between Madame Gagzaniga and her predecessors in this opera, we can still gay, in al! Justice, that she gives tothe réle ‘a full, equal sa perfect developement, and that it will rank sing the best in her repertory. She received all we honors, floral and otherwise, of a veritable success. Poliuto is one of Brignoli’s best efforts, and he surpassed himself last night. He has fnever before gung so well as in tho finale of the second act. A little reat, which he has enjoyed lately, bas improved the quality of his voice. While the pure Italian method of this artist finds @ full scope for display in such music as that of Poliuto, he makes the best use of his opportunity. Amodio has re- covered his voice, but must sing more carefully. ‘The or- chestra, under Muzio, was excellent as usual, but the brass band was, to ugea mild term, execrable. To-night, the debut of Speranza, in the “Traviata,” is anpounced, LAURA KEENE’S THEATRE. Forgetting the antiquated notion that the drama should garry outits ostensible purpose of daguerreotyping scenes in real life; remembering that it is no easy task to make Mr. Tom. Taylor’s play of {‘'The Election,” written for Mr. Matthews, the Haymarket and an English audience, adaptable to Laura Keene’s theatre and Ameri- can tastes, and looking upon the production at this theatre last evening as designed to please the audience tempora- rily, it may be termed a success. The plot is slender. Mr. Dodgson, an attorney of limited practice (Mr. Jordan), meets his first client in Mr. Wapshott (Mr. Daly), who wants to marry the daughter (Miss Annie Deland) of a retired grocer (Mr. Mark Smith). Mr. Honeybun, the said grocer, ts exceedingly meek, sleepy, fond of quiet and respectable seclusion, His wife (Miss Keone) is strong-minded, wants to get into Washington society and shine. Mr. Dodgson is applied to by several muscular geutlemen to find a ready money candidate for Congress, and contrives a plan to get Mr. Honeybun elected, secure the influence of the wife to aid the young couple, and pocket a round fee for himself. The fun consists in Mr. Honeybun’s extreme nervousness and antipathy to noiss and confusion, considerable of which ensue in the canvass; also in Mr. Dodgson’s negotiations with the free and inde- pendent electors, of whom Mr. Peckover (Peters), Presi- dent of the Well Awakes, and Topper, Chairman of the Night Ow!s (Mr. C. Wheatleigh), are excellent representa- tives of the genus “‘striker."’ The managing of Mr. Honey- bun to try and avoid clection, and at the game timo the importunities of his wife, the managing of Mrs. Honeybun to secure the election and her “sphere,” the managing of the electors for the ‘‘ready,” the lovers for their match and the attorney for his fee, and the by play and epilogue, afford scope for considerable fun and a number of local nits. With the slight discrepancies that parties are repre. sented as ata loss for candidates, that the nominee is supposed to desire defeat; that the strikers limit their de- mands te the astonishly low price of twenty dollars a head; that the entire election to Congress is to cost the successful man but two thousand dollars—as cheap as dirt; that a briefless lawyer is permitted to namo the can- didate, and, instead of paying for the privilege (which every nominating convention knows is valuable), is ac- tually himself paid; and that a shoulder-hitter refrains from hitting bis man when he is down—the piece will pass in the crowd that challenge criticism in these progressive days. We still think, however, that there is room for a Cd play based on the idiosynoracies of American Politics. WINTER GARDEN. The latest novelty hero is @ farce by Mr. Oxenford, played in England under the title of “Retained for the Defence.’? The play has been somewhat altered to suit this meridian, and has been rechristened ‘State versus Pawkins.” The plot turns upon the single incident, not quite new, of a philanthropic old gentleman who, in visiting a court of justice, had his foelings 0 far worked upon by the eloquence of the prisoner’s counsel as to in- vite tho injured one to his house. An accidental meeting at,the house of the philanthropist between the counsel and bis former client furnishes the opportunity for some cleverly arranged situations. The piece is pleasant, but not very forcible. It was very well acted by Mesere. Jefferson, Davenport and Holland. The piece will be played to-night, with “Dot,”’ which bas been revived. ’ The other theatres—Wallack’s, Niblo’s and the Theatre Frangais—are doing very well without special novelties. Niblo’s is crowded to excess every night by the admirers of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams. Mre. Williams has made a thorough success in Selby’s clever burlotta, “An Hour in Seville.” Movements of the Military. PARADE OF THE LINDSAY BLUES, AND REVIEW BY THE MAYOR.

The Blues have been organized for several years, and, though not attached to our State militia, they compare favorably with many of our crack companies.

They proceeded in the morning to Conrad’s park, where the day was spent i tar. t practice, though no prizes were contended for. ey returned to the city about four o'clock, whon they were received by the Guard, Captain Hopper, another one of our independent uniformed com who tendered them an escort.

Brown has made no confession, but on the contrary eays he bas full confidence in the goodness of God, and is confident that he will rescue him from tho perils that surround him. He says he has had rifles levelled at him, knives at bis throat, and bis life in ag great peril as it now is, but that God has always been at his side, H+ knows God is with him, and feara nothing. Alex. R. Bowler, member elect to Congress from thia dis. trict, has collected from fifty to one hundred letters from the citizens of the neighborhood of Brown’s house, who searched it verore the arrival Ur uw marines, The letters are in the possession of Andrew Hunter, Esq., who bas a large number of kettere obtained from Brown's house by the marines and other parties. Among them isa roll of the conspirators, containing forty-seven signatures; also a receipt from Horace Greeley for letters, &., re ceived from Brown, and an accurately traced map from Chambersburg to Browna’s house ; copies of letters from Brown, stating that as the arrival of too many men at once would excite suspicion, they should arrive singly; a letter from Merriam, stating that of the twenty thousand wanted, G. 8. was good for one-fifth; aleo a letter from J. E. Cook, stating that as the Maryland election was about to come off, the people will become ex- cited, and we will get some of the candidates that will join our side. The Circuit Court, Judge Parker presiding, met at ten o'clock. ‘The Grand Jury were called, and retired to re- sume the examination of witnesses. The Court took a re- cees, awaiting the return ef the Grand Jury. Mr. Johnson, United States Marshal, of Cleveland, Ohio, arrived this morning. He visited the prisoners, and iden- tifled Copland as a fugitive from justice in Ohio, His ob- Ject is supposed te be to ferret out testimony implicating the other parties. ‘The excitement is unabated, and crowds of persons from the surrounding country are here. The event is regarded as proving the faithfulness of the slaves, and no fears aro entertained of them, but a military guard is kept up, fear. ing an attempt to rescue the prisonors. Consternation among the slaves is caused by the foar or being seized like those of Col. Washington’s wore, and they firmly believe the object of the prisoners was tocarry them South and sell them. Nota single slave has ye! been implicated as even sympathizing with the insurrectionists. ‘Those carried off have all been captured and returned to their masters. Cannon are stationed in front of the Court House, and an armed guard is patrolling around the jail. Captain Brown hag consented to allow Messrs, Faulkner and Botts toact as his counsel, they assuring him tha they will defend him faithfully, and give him the ad- vantage of every privilege that the law will allow. Stevens declares that he does not desire to be defonded by Northern counsel, preferring Southern, and that the Court should name them. There ls a decided sympathy for Stevens, not only on account of his sufferings, but that he has shown none of that vindictiveness and hardihood that ebaracterize Brown. His regret is regarded as caused by the consequences of his folly, and the examina- tion yesterday indicated that the other prisouers have lost their confidence in Brown, and are not disposed to follow him in his deflant course. At twelve o’clock the Court reassembled. The Grand Jury reported atrue bill against the prisoners, and were discharged. Charies B, Harding, assisted by Andrew Hunter, ropre- sents the commonwealth, and Charies J. Faulkner and Lawson Botts are counsel for the prisoners. ‘A true bill was read against each prisoner: First. For conspiring with negroes to produce insurreo- tion, Second. For treason to the commonwealth; and, ‘Third. For murder. ‘The prisoners were brought into court accompanied by a body of armed men, They passed through the street and entered the Court House without the slightest demon- stration on the part of the people. Brown looked somewhat better, and his eye was not so much swollen. Stevens had to be supported, and reclined ona mattress on the floor of the court room, evidently unable to sit. He has the appearance of a dying man, breathing with great difficulty. Before the reading of the arraignment Mr. Honrer called tho attention of the Court to the necessity of ap- pointing additional counsel for the prisoners, stating that one of the counsel (Faulkner) appointed by the County Court considering his duty in that capacity as having ended bad left. The prigoners, therefore, had no other counsel than Mr. Botts. If the Court was about to assign them other counsel it might be proper to do so now. ‘The Count stated that it would assign them any mem- bers of the bar they might select. After consulting Captain Brown, Mr. Borts said that tho prisoner retained him, and dosired to have Mr. Green, his assistant, to assist him. If the court would accede to that arrangement, it would be very agreeable to him personally. ‘The Court requested Mr. Green to act as counsel for the prisoners, and he consented to do so. Mr. Brown then arose, and said:—I do not intend to de- tain tho court, but barely wish to ay, as Ihave been pro mised a fair trial, that I am not now in circumstances that enable me to attend a trial, owing to the state of my health. Ihave a severe wound in the back, or rather in one kidney, which enfeebles me very much. But Iam doing well, and I only ask fora very short delay of my trial, and I think that I may be able to listen to it; and I merely ask this that, as the saying is, “ the devil may have his dues,” no more. I wish to say further that my hearing is impaired and rendered indistinct in conse- quence of wounds I have about my head. Icannot hear distinctly at all; I could not hear what the Court has said this morning. I would be glad to hear what is said on my trial, and Iam now doing better than I could expect to be under the circumstances. A very short delay would be all I would ask. I do not presume to ask more than a very short delay, so that I may in some degree recover, and be able at least to listen to my trial, and hear what questions aro asked of the citizens, and what their answors are. If that could be allowed me, I ehould be very much obliged. Mr. Hustrr said tho request was rather premature. ‘The arraignment could be made, and this question could then be considered. ‘The Court ordered the Indictment to be read, so that the prisoners could plead guilty or not guilty, and would then consider Mr. Brown’s request. The prisoners were compelled to stand during the ar- Taignment, Stevens being held upright by two balliffs. ‘Porte Crayon’? was present and took sketches of the Prisoners as thus arraigned. The reading of the indistment occupied about twenty minutes. Each of tho prisoners responded to the question, “Not guilty,” and desired to be tried separately. Mr, HuxterR—Tho State elects to try John Browa first. Mr. Botrs—I am instructed by Brown to Say that be is mentally and physically unable ta proceed with his trial at this time. He bas beard to-day that counpel of his own choice will be here, whom he will, of course prefer, He only asks for ® doliy of two or three daya It seems to me bat @ reasonable request, and I hope the Oburt will grant it. Mr. Hownm sald he did not think it the duty of the Prosecutor for the commonwealth, or for ene occupying that position, to oppose anytbing that justice required, nor to object to anything that involved a simple consideration of humanity, where it could be properly allowed. Yet in regard to this proposition to delay the trial of John Brown two or three days, they deemed it their duty that the Court, before determining matters, should be put in pos- session of facts and circumstances judicially; that they | were aware of the line of their dutles a8 prose- cutors, His own opinion was, thet it was not proper to delay the trial of this prisoner a single day, and that there was no necessity for it. He alluded in general terms to the condition of things with which they were surrounded. They were such as ren- dered it dangerous to delay, to say nothing of the excoed- ing pressure upon the physical regources of the commu- nity, growing out of the circumstances connected with affairs for which the prisoners were to be triod. Our law in making special provisions for allow- img, im the discretion of the Court, briefer time than smal in case of conviction for such offenders, be- tween the condemnation and execution, evidently indi- cates indirectly the necessity for acting promptly and decisively, though always juatly, in proceedings of this kind. In reference to the physical condition of Brown, he asked the Court not to receive the unimportant slate- mente of the prisoners as sufficient ground for delay, but that the jailor and physicians be examined. As to ex- Pecting counsel from abroad, he said that no impediment had been thrown in the way of the prisoners procuring such counsel as they desired; but, on the contrary, every facility had been afforded, able and intelligent counsel had been assigned them here, and he apprehended there ‘was little reason to expect the attendance of those gen tlemen from the North who had been written to. Thore was also a public duty resting upon them to avoid as far as poesible within the forms of law, and with reference to the great and never to be lst aight of giving of a fair and impartial trial to the prisoners, the introduction of any- thing likely to weaken our present position and give etrength to our enemies abroad, whether it issues from the jury in time, or whether it comes from the mouths of the prisoners or any other source. It was their position that had been imperilied and jeopardized, as they sup- posed, by enemies. ‘Mr. Harpine concurred in the objection of Mr. Hunter, on the ground of danger in delay, and also because Brown was the leader of the insurrection, and his trial ought to be proceeded with on account of the advantage thereby accruing in the trial of the others. Mr. Green remarked that be had had no opportunity of Coupuising with the prisoner or preparing a defence. The Jetters for Northern counsel bad veen sent off, but not sufficient time bad been afforded to receive answers. Under the circumstances he thought a short delay de- sirable. Mr. Borrs added that at prosen’ the excitement was 60 great as perhaps to deter Northern counsel from coming out; but now that it has been promised that the prisoners should have a fair and impartial trial, he presumed that they would come and take part in the case. The Corrt stated that if physical inability were shown a reasonable delay must be granted. As to the expecta- tion of other counsel, that did not constitute a sufficient cause for delay, as there was no certainty about their coming. Under the circumstances in whieh the prisoners were situated, it was natural that they should seek delay. The brief period remaining before the close of the term of the court, rendered it necessary to proceed as expeditiously as practicable, and to be cau- tious about granting delays. He would request the physi- cian whe had attended Brown to testify as to his condi- tion. Dr. Mason thought Brown was able to goon under- Standingly with the trial.

ARREST OF CAPTAIN COOK. Cuammmrssore, Pa., Oct. 26, 1859. Captain Cook was arrested yesterday afternoon by Mesers. Daniel Logan and Claggett Fitzhugh, at Montalto, Franklin county, fourteen miles from this place. His printed commieéion, filled up and signed by Brown, and marked No. 4, was found on his person, as was also a memorandum, written on parchment, of the pistol pre- sented to General Washington by Lafayette, and bequeath- ed to Lewis W. Washington in 1854. The pistol, he says, is in acarpet bag which he left on the mountain. He came out of the mountain into the settlement to obtain provisions, and was much fagged down and almost starved. He was Drought to this} place at eight o’clock last night, and after an examination before Justice Reisher, and being fully identified by one of our citizens, who formerly knew him, was committed to jail, to await a requisition from Governor Wise. He acknowledged having three others with him on the mountains, one of whom was seen and conversed with, having a blue blanket over his shoulders, and carrying a Sharpe’s rifle and a double barrelled gun. ‘The former he said belonged to his partner, who had gone for provisions. Parties will go in search of the others to-day. RicMoxn, Va., Oct. 26, 1850. Gov. Wise has sent a requisition for Cook. THE INSURRECTIONIST, HASLETT, CARLIBLE, PA. Canuists, Oct. 26, 1859. .

Barrmrorr, Oct. 26, 1850. Considerable excitement was caused at Frederick, Md., this afternoon by a report that a large body of abolition- ists had crossed from Pennsylvania to Virginia, with tho intention of rescuing the Harper’s Ferry insurrectionists. A military company left immediately, to assist in the de. fense of the Charlestown jail. The whole affair is believed to be a hoax. OUR CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENCE. Cuanizsrown, Va., Oct. 26, 1859. ‘Thero is groat excitement in town in consequence of the trial to-day, and crowds of people are flocking in from the surrounding country, I am given to understand that Old Brown wil insist upon a separate examination, a separate trial, and, in fact, anything that can gain time and prolong his life and the lives of his men. A stranger was arrested last night, about six miles from here, simply, it appears, because he was a stranger. The authorities were soon satisfied that he bad no connection with Brown's gang, but as he was tn destitute circum- stances, the fellow was allowed to remain at tho jail under commitment. All communication with the prisoners, ox- cept by counsel, has been prohibited. OLD BROWN’S OPINION OF THE HERALD.

I can confidently state, however, that the President, on firet hearing of the outrages committed at Harper’s Ferry, regretted exceedingly tha: a suitable military force doos not garrison our arsenals and armories, as well as our military posts; and from what I can (privately) learn, the defficiency of our army , in regard to its numerical force, will be a! Paseage in the next annual meagases of both the President and Secretary of War. ‘There gno doubt whatever bat an augmentation of at least four regiments—composed of different arms—will be recommended to the next Congress.

Irecollect that Jefferson Davie then od the General’s views, but now the grand sequel will ‘come Out as to his advice at that time. General Scott will be again in Washington before it is expected, as it is now understood that, after arriving at Fort Vancouver, and having ap interview with the British authorities there, he will return by way of New Orleans. If the General does not, however, arrive in time, his counsels will be embodied in the President's message. THE ANONYMOUS LETTER TO SECRETARY FLOYD. ‘The notorious James Redpath, in his letter published in the Boston das, thus refers to the anonymous letter ot hes rogeont rigthry t be prudent to b ig Buy i no! say why nor by whom—that the author of the anonymous letter to Se- cretary Floyd is a person of the name of Babb, a subor- dinate editor of the Cincinnati Gazelle, sometimes (from his stature) known ag Baby Babb, and’ (from his menta! characteristics) as Booby Babb. He was in Kansas for several months, and is supposed to have heard of Old wn’s ns. If he is guiltiees of the authorship of this letter it will do him no future {ll to give it a prompt and emphatic denial. Brown has fearless and desperate friends, who will—as surely as he dies the death of an unsucceseful hero—revenge his untimely end on the authors of it. From the graves of Barber and the Browns, and from the bioody Valicy of the Marias des Cignes,a terrible spirit arose which the South conjured up in its “insane attempts,”’ but which it can never again allay, —. by the liberation of every slaye from the Pun-handle ia to the most southern limit of the Texan frontier. But this anonymous letter, it ia said, is not the first intimation that ‘‘our efficient Executive’’ has received of the designs of the insurrectionists. I was informed that they were betrayed by an eminent military author more than twelve months ago. His name I cannot now recall. He was a wealthy Englishman, and resided in Italy in 1848, when the revolution under Gen. Garibaldi broke out. He suddenly showed a marvellous genius for rais- ing and drilling recruits. He published a manual for their use—adapted for guerilia warfare—which was re- printed by De Witt & Davenport, of New York. He was ‘the mstructor, in military science, of Brown and his men. Domestic bereavements, I believe, added to alarming Pecuniary losses, suddenly rendered him insane. He went to Washington and betrayed the scheme. Brown and his men were forced to fly to Canada. The excur- sions in Kaasas which Brown subsequently made were intended to increase the belief of the government that the exposure was the result of the wild imaginations of a madmen. ing Seward, Sumner, Hale, Lawrence, Chase, Fletcher and Other Prominent Abolitionists—Correspondence Between Colonel Forbes and His Abolitionist Friends—His Interviews with Seward, mer and Hale—How Lawrence Speculatesin the Rise of Cotton—Forbes Denounces Brown’s Harper's Ferry Project in May, 1858, and Implores the Black Republicans to Stop It, dic. ‘There appeared in yesterday’s Herstp a card signed H. Forbes, which contained a menace that the writer, who ‘was known to have been in connection with Ossawatomic Brown, and to have been cognizantof all his plans, would, after the trial at Charlestown, publish certain correspon- dence, which might prove damaging to many prominent black republican politicians. We will save Colonel Forbes the trouble of carrying his threat into execution; or, at least, we will anticipate him somewhat in that matter, as our very complete arrangements have brought the identi- cal papers, or copies of them, into our hands, But first Jet us briefly state the manner in which Colonel Forbes comes to be mixed up in this matter. The first that was known of him in this country was when, some ten years ago, he arrived here, after the breaking up of the great European revolution of 1843. He is Scotchman by birth, we believe, and has been a revolutionary soldier from inclination. He served for some years in the British army. Afterwards we find bim prominently brought into notice by his connection with Garibaldi, in the defence of Rome. Then he came to this country and was for atime a reporter or translator on the Tribune. Afew years ago he established an Anglo- American paper in this city, and was conducting it at the time of his first introduction to Ossawatomie Brown. This modern Roundhead had come North for the pur- pore of bringing back with him to Kansas a man of mili- tary genius and experience who would undertake to train the Kansas abolitionists in all the tactics pertaining to the guerilla branch of the profes sion of arms. Forbes was just the man for the parpose. Guerilla fighting was his forte, and he had the reputation besides of being somewhat of a genius in the art of wat. He was an excellent fencer, and—although that was of little account among the border ruffians—an ac- complished linguist. Brown and Forbes were brought en rapport by one of the reverend editors of the New York Independent. Negotiations were entered on, and Forbes was secured to the cause of abolitionism. What the ex- act terms of the contract were we cannot say; but we gather from the correspondence in our hands that cer- tain monthly remittances were to be sent to Forbea’ fami- ly in Europe by those who had charge of the funds in this region. Poor Forbes appears, however, to have re- alized the utter unreliability of these philanthropists, and his letters show that he soon found out that the whole game was one of cheating. He appealed to Horace Greeley to have justice done him. Horace replied that Forbes had no legal claim uponhim. He put himself in correspondence with Seward, Sumner, Wilson, Hale, Chase, Fletcher and other prominent abolitionists, and acquainted them fully with Brown’s projects, pointing out how they must inevitably fail and bring dismay and de- struction upon the anti-slavery cause. But Forbes found that, like Cassandra of old, his predictions were laughed at and his entreaties set at naught. Solong ago as May, 1858, he appears to have had an interview with Wm. H. Seward in Washington, in which he went fully into the whole matter in all its bearings. With these introductory remarks, which were necessary for the full understanding of the documents, we proceed to give the following correspondence between Forbes and his abolitionist friends. The first letter is addressed to “‘F. B. Sanborn, Concord, Mass.’’—the “F. B. S.’’ from whom Brown acknowledged several remittances of money, and who is, or was, the Sec- retary of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Society. The following head note is prefixed to the letter:— On the 27th December I wrote to Senator Charles Sum- ner at Boston, requesting him to see what could be done im the case. The copy was not taken. Mr. Sumner trans- mitted the letter through Dr. Howe to Mr. Sanborn, who replied (Ist Jan.), alleging ignorance of my engagement with Captain Brown.

He saia he could only me the money to carry me to London, but there I should be furnished with whatever would be requisite for my voyage across the Atlantic, and that when I reached New York an Italian, for whom he gave me a letter, would see that I was supplied with further means. “The verbal promige of a man of honor sufficed for me (such is the habit in Europe), and I etarted for England it same evening. On my arrival in London I was informed that there anh ape’ which was then exbausted through an unusual rash demands.

When J got to thie city the Italians (who had not been consulted respecting my coming) thought that Mazzini bad done wrong in ex- pecting any encouragem:nt from America and iu sending me here; yet those Italians unhesitatingly resolved that the word of an Italian who had acted in faith to be and should be serene Gane habit im rope); therefore, though convinced that my exertions would be wholly useless, a fund was collected among them to enable me to make the essay and to return, Bret asthe Italians had predicted, proved an utter failure. ag BAD FAITH OF THE ABOLITIONIST. I will now furnish you with a fact which goes far to de- monstrate that the refusal of the New England humanita- rians to honor their engagements, last summer and au- tumn, fs not an izolated inatance of repudiation, but is part of a regular system of unscrupulous deceit, practised whenever a man zealous in the cause can be taken advan- tage of—some dupe, of course, who relies on the sacred- ness of moral ob! A gentleman now in business here acted from 1836 to 1845 as treasurer to the Society for the Protection of Fugitive Slaves. As the calls for money came at ‘irregular intervals, and as it was essen tial that no impediments should delay the fugitives, he ‘was requested by committee to advance whatever cash might be wanted, even though there were not funds enough in his hands to cover the outlay, the committee romiaing that any deficiency should be made good to im. He did as be had been asked to do, and sovn digoo- vered that the subscriptions of the exemplary humanita- rians were falling short far behind his advances. He applied for the promised reimbursement, and was syste- maticaily put off and put off. The debt at length accumu- lated to about $1,500, when he became vet for a settlement and refused to involve himse! deeper, whereupon the eominittee guessed it would be better to dissolve the society, since itdid not cover its expendi- tures! Accordingly they did, notwithstanding his re- monstrances, dissolve the society, avd having by that trick wiped off the debt, they immediately reorganized, bringing in a few new members who would not join while the socicty was in debt; after which mapuyre the so- ciety went on as before, using the same books, minutes, &c., as if nothing extraordinary had occurred. This pro- ceeding I should style impudent lying, cheating and swin- dling—certain New Englanders may term it smart and pratseworthy; but if it be not swindling, I should like to ear what deeper degree of fraud constitutes swindling. My advice to that gentleman was that he should lay the whole before the ant slavery societies of Europe, and should enlighten the public. He replied thal he did not wish to injure the cause of abolitionism. I maintain, how- ever, that abolitionism, being a struggle for the triumph of the great principles of liberty, truth and fustice, the sooner it is taken out of the hands of cheats the better for humanity, for most assuredly if it be left in the hands of swindlers it must be swindled.
