decry the merit of foreign excellence. 1t is

General LAFAYETTE is now in Albemarle,
on visit to Messrs. Jefferson and Monroe.
This is probably the last time we shall have
an opportunity of beholding this singulariy
good and great man. He will ere long re-
turn 10 the bosom Of his own domestic circle,
under the shadow Of his own vine. 1t is
needless to add our feeble voice TO that of
millions already lifted up TO heaven in
prayer for his temporal and eternal happi-
ness. The gratitude Of fervent aud sim
cere affection, is the only remaining tribute
which we Can pour out TO this illustrious de-
liverer of our country-we feel that il is in
adequate. But we trust there is a more bril-
liant and durable reward treasured up for
him On High, eternal in the heavens, s'where
moth cannot corrupt nor thieves break thro'
aud steal.''
