man, their Chairman, addressed him as follows
GENERAI-ln behalf of the Bar of the Civ
of New York, now assembled, / tender tn yo,,
tao tribute of their respect, and their cor,Iiat
congratulations, on your return to your adopted
country.
Your presence, General, gives renewed VII
Sor to patriotic feelings and national prnfs..-Tf
recalls to the hearts of ALL the struggles. the pr
Vat'ons, the victories of the reAoiution; and. ON
our minds, IT deeply impresses the value of those
civil institutions, of that republican form of ro-
vernment, OF that rational freedom, winch we
row enjoy, and which your vaIor contributed to-
achieve.
You left us, General, at the close of our con
test an impoverished people; our government
inclhcIent; our national credit prostratc orr
country bleeding and suffering from the deyas-
tations of war:-You find us AN exalted nation.
our republic honored and respected by foreign
powers; our public credit not surpassed our
country rich and prosperous; our people free &
happy, prstected by the government of their
own choice, and whose energy and power are
rounded IN the affection of its citizens What
can be more grateful to the heart of the patriot.
and to him, who by his sword, his fortune and
ms sacrlnces' assisted in consecrating the prin-
cipies OF our independence We, who daily
witness the supremacy of the laws, their faithful
administration, and the equal rights they Sc
cure, are emulous to join in the loud acclaim
which bursts from every corner of the land
the spontaneous effusion Of a nations heart.
But, with US, one remembrance tempers ex-
nltation. Would that the feelings of the New
York bar might have been utterrd BY him, now
no more, who passed with you, through dangers
and honor, in the emulation of youthful galan-
try, and was your associate in the brilliant
browning scene of the war of the revolution
That commanding intellect which was SO pow
eriui!y felt IN the organization of our govern
meDt-in the establishment of lis finances, ana
IN the yindlcation of the great principles OF free
dom migrated in our constitution, equally dis
played ITS superiority in the pursuits of forensic
life. Had it been permitted to your early friend
and companion, to present himself the represen-
tative OF profession his talents and principles
adorned, his eloquence would have done justice
to our grateful sense Of your services, and to our
high respect for Your character.
THEGENERAL'S ANSWER.
Testimonials of esteem from SO respectabIea
body as the Bar of New York are highly flatter-
ing TO me. most deeply sympatlise, gentle
men, In your regrets for the friend whose pro-
digious talents made him eminent in your
profession, as he had been in our military la
bours, when he deserved Washington's most in
innate confidence. The truly republican form
OF the American constitutions. cannot but en-
dear them TO every citizen of the United States.
Yet, to. any one, who, with an american heart,
has had opportunities of comparison with o.
Their countries, the blessings ofthose institutions
must appear still more conspicuous. Ibeg you,
sir. and all of you, gentlemen, to accept ny
grateful and afectionate thanks.
