vorite objeas of our invitation, Ac
tuated by the fame generous ardour,
exposed to the fame dangers, and
paruking of the fame triumphs, the
American patriots fixed the standard
of the union in the hand of pacriotifm
and supported it- with the confidence
r efjuftice, and the emulation of friend*
A, l ?' In * feene like this, all the
finer feeling, of nature are so fairly
engaged, that to be insensible to the
complicated emotion of public care
fed private benevolence, implies the
want of virtue I But as we trace the
charader of the American patriot, we
find that fortitude in advetity, and
moderation in success, mark his ca
? jeer in naive life ; while his heart
vibrates with the sense of every feci
-0 obligation. " .

yield an opporuq ; for re fleaion _

triumphantly discharged, the inevita

es on the mind; The virtues of War.
"ren, Montgomery, M'Pberfon, Mercer,
Wooffer, Laurens; and the whole bast
of Heroes, who were devoted to the
Service of their country, fill the fad
retrofpea with veneration and regret
—while the heart fickensin antisipa
,J ting the dissolution of its dearest ties.
What was there then to mitigate these
CT sorrows, to Cheer the gloomy medita
tion on the past, or gild the heavy
^ ?,rofpea that lowered upon her view !
—When Id ! affliction . Hrugalirg for
,; her own relief; produced the tnrtfcu T
- lion of the Cincinnati; and on
this genial son, hope springs again !
Vfriendship is enabled to maintain its
intercourse—charity is invited to dis
tribute her bounties—and gratitude
is confirmed in the remembrance of
her ^obligations 1 A foundation is
also laid for confidence and harmony
.in the idminiftr&<iw< iof public affairs
--and the great evidence of these salu
tary effects we may contemplate, per
hapa, evten now in the work produced
, ^by the Federal fovtsfo and inthe

the organization of that excellent fyf

ever is trifling or orientations has been,
repded. The bafa, here, is formed
of parri&ifm, friendship and charity

orders, ®^ tinsel of fancy with the
P^P%&b ' . .4^
Fhua ha„fy, are the principles
of the revolution and of this invita
tion connected; By the former, th#
infers of the earth are taught toze
fpeft the rights of mankind ; by the
latter, the duties of a good citizen
are faithfully delineated. Yes, as I
have already hinted, jealousy has cast
her jaundiced eye on oar model?: fame
and envy has endeavoured to und^-.
mine it with a fabricated tale of trd.
chery and ambition. But; in the
principles of the institution, what is
there to dread ? In the character of
' its members, what is there to fufpe£ t/
To record a revolution^ accomplished
by a difinterefled cxertife of valuer&.
perseverance and to inculcate fubmif
fion to the civil authority of our coun
try — ar e theft the lessons which the
enemies of freedom and equality
would enforce ? No 1* Or can it be
fuggeße" '^'t those very men who
generously refilled the encroachments
of Britain, and voluntarily refined
the advantages of arms, without even
exacting an adequate compenfarion
for their services, are thenjfelves in
fefad with a vortbleft ambition, feck
ing by dark and insidious means to
deitroy those very liberties which
their own labors have eltablifhed ?—
Such imputations might be well ap
plied to the fadious combinations of
desperadoes ; but reason justice; gra
titude all forbid ithere I
For if the experienced wofrtb, the
honor and wisdom of its members,
can fandify an indilution, what is
F there wanting to the reputation of
this society teNo form of association
was neceftary to blazon the mer its
of oar illustßt vs Wash 1 ngton.
—The name of our much lamented
Greene derives not, but communi
cates dignity to that lift of heroes, # on
whtch it is Enrolled. —And Gates,
with LINCOLN arid man, others, who
might be mentioned, mult ever live
in the fond remembrance of their
country without the adventitious aid
of Honors and Diftinaibns 1
Personal merit, indeed, necessarily
creates personal refpe& ;—there is a
natural as well as artificial nobility ,
—and, if ever the /octet, of tbe Cin
cinnati becomes eminently confpicUous
among their fellow-cijizens,it cannot
arise from the charm of pageantry, the
force of authority, or the influence of
wealth ; —but—hear it and approve,
ye Lovers of Mankind !—from the
practical illufration of this important
truth, that to be virtuous is to be tru
ly noble !— — And oh ! may the ge
nerous ardour spread thro' every class
to foften the manners, improve the
morals,and extend the dehghtsof fo^
ciey—till, from the universal preva.
lence of private worth, the National
Character itfelf shall be permanently
ennobled, and the Union of America
become the standard of faith, free
dom, and good, government, to the
latert period of time !
