Garibaldi on leaving England published a farewell address, which is
in fact not only one of thanks but of exhortation. He exhorts England to lend her aid to the oppressed nations, and to adopt the principle of the " solidarity " of peoples. Garibaldi admires us too much. We are very glad to see him, but we have no idea of doing anything for him, especially when, as Lord Russell says, the Exchequer is in so flourishing a condition. If we do not aid Denmark in her extremity, what is the use of dreaming about our adopting the principle of the solidarity of the nations ?
