Permit a few words of personal feeling.
revered father, who loved and esteemed you, FIRST
taught me to admire your virtues Your own COED
to me added affection to admiration; under these
impressions have traced you through the vicissi-
tubes of your eventful life And, oh! how plea
sing has it been to me, to the veneration and
respect which my countrymen have universally
shewn towards you. And thank heaven 1 am
permitted thus personally, to express my individual
gratitude, before the hand OF time shall separate
forever
To this address the General made the following
reply, in manner in which dignity, modesy and
Sordialiy were happily blended.
feel the more grati.ied in this happy welcome
from the citizens of Loudoun county, as amidst the
congratulations receive my extensive and de-
ghttul visits to every OF the states OF the Union,
feel deep disappointment and regret to leave
the beloved shores OF America, before have met
other invitations equally dear TO my heart. The
recollection of those very friendly invitations,
OF the atfectionate receptions bestowed upon me-
OF the wonders OF creation and Improvement that
have been the result OF independence and republi-
can freedom, shall mnsle in my mind, with
the remembrance OF the old times to which you
have alluded and with the hopes of the progressive
emancipation of mankind, in which most cordial

~ IN 1881, IN Virginia, had had daily occasions
to admire the patriotism, the perseverance, the gal
iantry oil your countrynen, in that arduous and
decisive campaign, as well as the Jealous, spirited,
and cheerful assistance they received from their
northern brethren, circumstance which, hatter
myself, shall ever be of the links of the union
between the several parts of the contederacy. Your
an,iciPatons OF the extension of human enfran-
chisement, are, thank God, well founded; the
more so, my dear sir, the eaven of freedom, as
you call It, which exists to great extent, not in
the institutions, but in the minds of men, particular
ly IN France, Is composed OF truly american prin
ciples and feelings, those OF genuine liberty and
equal rights, without any mixture OF that aristo-
cratical alloy, which, in my opinion, is the
obstacle TO the perfection of social order and gene
raj happiness. Accept my dear sir, in behalf of
your feiiow-cilizens of Loudoun, my grateful ac-
acknowledgements Tor the precious testimonies of their
arr'oosiion, and their Kindness to me, the more
gratifying, when they affectionalely expressed
by an old and highly esteemed friend
