Events follow cach other with puch rapidity that the bero of six months since begins to be antiquated. A Pellissier or an Omar Pasha seems buried in the depths of ages. It may be that new events will bring forward some other mame when Garibaldi shall have attained his ends and retired into honorable privacy, but we think that it will be hard for ‘the new bero to surpass the reputation which the Italian General has acquired, Tue more his plans are examined and his movements followed, the more clearly does it ap pear that he is not only a brave and devoted soldier, but aman of genius, whom his countrymen may trust and obey as well as admire. Im the able narrative which we publish to-day the ouree of the campaign is sufficiently indicated. It 1s one of the peculiaritics of modern warfare that ‘the rapt ity of (ravelling and the perfect intercourse: h exists among nations a campaign has somewhat the character of fan exhibition, A leader cannot now penetrate into a country, win or lose t battles in obscurity ,remain un- heard of by the world for months, and, then, in conse- quence of some crowning victory or disaster conclude a Peace, leaving it to some historiog: years lyter to de- scribe for the first time in d ts, which have the face of Europe.

It is happy for brave men and for a cause to be thus exposed to the public Gaze. It is an advantage that there should be inde- Pendent witnesees to con! the false assertions of offi- ial despatches, and to sive the world that just know- ped events which will rightly direct its judgment. Although foreign governments may not forcibly interfere in the concerns of Sicily, yet their advice may, at some Conjuncture, be necessary, and it is of no small importance: that we should learn accurately how both sides haye cora- orted themselves, and with what sort of men we have to |. The Neapolitan despatches have been proved to be false; on the other band, letters from the Sicilians would be suspected of exaggeration. It is from the accounts furnished by responsible and impartial authorities that the English and French nations must judge how far it is right to countenance the revolt in the Neapolitan domi- nions, and to recognise the government it establishes when it shall prove victorious, ‘To the enlightenment of the world on these points the letters of our correspondent will largely contribute. They give the history of this enterprise from its beginning; they show Garibaldi with his two vessels and his little Dand steaming into the harbor of Marsala, the anxiety, ming into terror, of the royal authorities, the tele- graphing to Palermo, the retreat from the town, the en- thusiastic rising of the inhabitants, and the acceptance of Garibaldi as their leader by the guerilla bands, who till then were without a plan or a definite purpose. We re- cognise, as bearing the stamp of truth, the description given of the Sicilian levies, as brave, willing to fight if they were shown how, burning with hatred against the government, but incapable of making any impression ‘on the regular forces, and able only to keep up a par- tisan warfare in the meuntainous region which forms the northwestern angle of the island. But if the Sicilian youth whom Garibaldi found at his landing were not perivet troops, they had at least one high quality of Soldiers—they knew how to choose a leader and how to obey him. From the first day of his landing Garibaldi became virtually the generalissimo of the Sicilian insur- rection, and during the month which has passed there has ‘been no resistance to his authority, No narrow jealousy, No insular prejudice, no preferen py local leader has disturbed the harmony which exists between him and his followers.

The valor of Garibaldi’s little band and of the ‘Sicilian levies was also most conspicuous.

Indeed, it seems that if the troops had ‘been well commanded, and had had their heart in the work, the victory of their enemies must have been im- possible. By midday, however, they were driven from all their positions and forced to take refuge in the citadel, which at once began to bombard thé town, being follow- ed by the squadron outside.

One of the two 1 -¥~ which divide the United States is now fairly in the Geld for the Presidency, with both “platform” and candidate. The Republican Couyen- tion which met at Chicago has nominated Mr. Lincoln, Whose name was, until very rece little known be: yond the bounds of his own State, and has scarcely been heard this side the Atlantic. The party conforms toa well established practice in selecting a candidate of this comparative obscurity, and the practice itself is almost an thevitable result of the enormous extension and deve- lopement of the republic. Whilst the great men of the Revolution, and the school of statesmen trained ander their immediate guidance lasted, politicians were marked out for the Presidency by great services, which the people gratefully recognised: and the compara: tively limited extent of the Union gave less scope for the phy, of purely sectional interests. But, as that extent | has increased, interests widely ditering, although often combining under the same “4 flag, have assumed an importance in the national legisiation, and each section has found a leader unwilling to recognize the pre-emi- nence of the leaders of other sections. The attempt to reconctle these contending claims has generally pr od an. impossibility. None of the claimants have been wilflag to consent to the selection of a rival, however pre-emi- nent in the general opinion; and all sections have united their suffrages upon some ope man whose previous carcer had excited no rivalry, and whose choice mortided all as- pirants alike.

With regard to the question of the slave trade, it was one which must deeply interest the House and the country, He should add nothing to the statement of the honorable member for Shoreham in re- ference to the present state of the question, the negotia- tions conducted by Lord Malmesbury, and ‘the attempts which had been made to excite the jealousy of America as to the right of search. It was unfortuualely too true that the siave trade was extensively carried on in Cuba, between 30,000 and 40,000 slaves being annually import: ed into the island, It was also trae that it was carried on in contempt of the treaty between this country and Spain, and that at present there were no efficient means for suppressing it. This want of efficient means arose f which was, xs had been stated . the jealousy on the part of America of any that could interfere with the free action of American vessels. Another cause was the imyperfection of the American law. An article had been introduced by his noble friend (Lord Patmerstou) into some of the treaties in refercace to the slave trade called the equipment article, but there was no such provision in the American law. ‘It therefore frequently happened that vessels upon the coast of Africa, completaly equipped for the slave trade, intending to embark 200 or 800 slaves ‘would much more effiea- and lighter class of ves- in the night tine, aud fiited up for tat purpose, had been geen by our cruisers under the American but sme § were of course unable to interfere with them, aad. thoug! they might point them out to the American cruisers, still there was no power of interference, there being no Jaw of the Uuited States which would justity it. ore was also another diificulty with regard to haying no vessel appeared the slavers noisted % a poh TP cago ‘when an American crwuer appear. ed she threw away the ond Seamaster , in which care the Lats to wise her, va ih cruiser were in sight the latter would be enabled to do 4.

(Hear.) OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. rom the London Post, June %.] We are glad to see that the government of the United States are taking active steps to refute a cl or, to speak more properly, a suspicion—to which they have been subjected for Some time past. It ts notorious that the American flag has been extensively emploved for the purpose of carrying on the nefarious slave traife, and the reason of this is no less notorious. America objects—as the law of nations certainly entities her to do—to the ex- ereise of the right of search in any shape in time of peace, She maintains, very traly, that the right in ques- tion is essentially a belligerent right, and canuot be exer- cised but in time of war, except by’ the e: of the nation whose flag {tis proposed shoul edtolt, A ee a es che rence to the traffic all other maritime nations by express agreement. But to this America has never been a party, and, consequently, her merchaut vessels Are not subject in time of peace to visitatien and search by the ships of war of any foreign country. It is to this circumstance that we must attribute the frequent em ployment in the slave traffic of the American flag: and, until the government of that country consents to follow the example of the other Or devises some means by which the fraudulent use of the United States flag may be more readily detected than it is at present, we must expect that soch frauds will be continued. And this is not the only evil result of the refusal of America to sub- mit to the right of search in any shape in time of peace. Tu consequence of this refusal tions have vaturally enough been cast npew the sincerity of the government at Washington in reference to its hostility to the slave trade. It has frequently been asserted the laws of the United States aga! trae are of the most stringent kind, it is nevertheless carried on extensively thi the connivance of the authorities of that country. have all al believed that these impatations are un- founded. We have all believed that whatevar may have been the interests and the wishes of certain classes in the United States, the government at least, for the last forty years, has been perfectly sincere in its hostility to the slave trade. We are now confirmed in this opinion -: the recent Message of President Buchanan to Congress, which the latest Ainerican mail Las just bt it us in = and which has been made with the following It appears that a vessel, having on board upwards of five hundred slaves, bas — Se captured off the const of Cuba by a war steamer belonging to the United States.

England individually failed; but such a remonstrance as we have indicated might succeed. | At all events, the experiment is worth a trial, and we hope that it will yet be made.
