REPUBLICAN GRATITUDE.
Among the a&s of the Lit fdfion is
one, which from its connection with o
ther objefts, ha? attiaftru but little of
the public attention. Ai it exhibits
the ftrongeft evidence, that republics ari
! grateful, whatever thofe holtil-2 to them '
I may fay to the contrary, we with the
j more pi, a''ine invite this attention.
j FA VETTE was among the firft, if
t not the (lift of hrs countrymen, who
imbibed from our revolutionary ftiug
gle an ardent drvoti'-m to liberty. Sur
munded with all the delights of facial
life, he abandoned them with the fpirit
[ of a roan who difdiincd to owe his hap
i ne.fs to caules, other than thofe derive.!
| from rendering fervices to his fcllo-v
j beings. He eroded the Atlantic, Ini
foon found in our BiMiifl that ditli
tion to which his m*-rit entitled him.
Flis fervices were reward-J by the thank*
ofthe whole American nation, a id Vir-
the i'cen* of Ir* exer
tions, enrolled him among her cite
sens.
In affluentcircnmftances, he had de
clined all reward for hi* fervices. Af
ter enjoying the rare felicity of reajifing
his beft hnpesin cm-tempi iting theefta
blifhed liberties of a new Warld, he rc
turnedto hi* native country, where h =
enjoy-d a!! the pleafures which a bejrf
rich in its own efteem, and commanding
theefteem of the meft virtuous and en
lightened, could bellow. This funfliine
was but of fhirt duration. The revolu
tion in his own country foon Cil'ed him
from tlie retirement he courted. Of the
fcenej that followed it is uiineceiTary to
fay much.. It is fuflicient to obferve
that amidft all its viciffuudes, his repu
tation remained unblemimed ; and that?
he has in ali its ftages, united the re
fpeft ofhiscnemie3 with the Iwve of bis
friends.
This revolution,however,which found
him rich made him poor. Thus circum
(t.tne-d it became a pro) per oil! nation,
grateful for his fervices, to offer the on
ly fohicein her power to his misfortunes.
At the inftance, therefore, of Mr. Daw
ton, of whom we cannot on this occa
fion make too honorable mention, Con
grefs at the feflion antecedent to tbelafi,
authoriild the Secretary of War to il*
fue land warranto to Major G-neral La
Fayette, for eleven thoufand five hun
dred and twenty acres ; to which quan*
tityefhndhe would, for his rank in the
army, have been entitled at the end of ths
war, had he claimed it. Hiving u»z
done th'u, by the operation of a ftsttntw
of limitations,the legil right had ceat
ed.
This, though far from being an ade
quate compenfation for Lrvices render-.
Ed, was a handfome tdtimonial of the
fympathy of Congrefi iv his mbfortt
Moft of tire land, however, appropriat- .
ed to the fatislaftion cf military right,.
having been located,it was found that
the value of the tract allotted to Fayette
weuldbe inconfiderable, and not, by
any means, equal to the liberal wifhes of
the legifUuire. At the laft feffion,
therefore, a new provifum was adopted
authoriftng land warrants to be iffneil
to him, to the abovs amount of land,
in any part of Louifiana.
By the operation of this prcv'tfi,)**-, the
value of the location will be proHabfy in
crenfed more than ten fold. To fatixfy
the fiift proviiion land could not befjunri,
we are advif-d, worth more than a dol
