" Attachment to the soil of our lathers has lung been the ge-
neral characteristic of Our countrynten,and in this seductive sen-
timent 1 have always participated under every variety of circum-

, pressed on my heart by these mattering marks of your kindness.
As a Soldier, I have only done my duty by discharging the trust
reposed in me with fidelity, and obeying the orders of our Noble
Chiefs, whose approbation I have been happy enough to receive.
My only ambition was then for yours, and having obtained such,
I must consider my good fortune unequalled. I shall join the
army shortly, and when the calls of our country no longer re-
quire my military exertions, I will gladly return to you iu the
character of an humble Citizen, ambitious of retaining that sweet
reward which you now so handsomely offer me, your itert, por
