My Dear Sir ~ welcome you to this land Of
freedom. May it always be the land of hospi-
talsty to the unfortunate exile, driven by the
the new world from the tyranny OF the DID,
General you possess the regard and sympathy
OF the American people, and you we'll merit this
distinction. You raised the standard of liberty
upon the Capitoline hill, and history will do JUS
tee TO your noble efforts to maintain it there TO
revive the spirit and the freedom of ancient
Rome, amid The monuments Of her power and
glory. 1t is not success that haows cause
ii is the principle involved in it. You yielded to
an overwhelming force; to another descent the
Gauls upon Italy Butyou preserved your own
high character, and you preserved also the res
pect OF every believer in the ghts OF man thro'
the world. But such efforts, as those of the Ro-
man people, tho unsuccessful, are not useless
again, but it will yet be won, and man restored
to the rights which God has given him.

equaninlty, are passport to the hearts and

and 10 express to you in person those sentiments
Of respect and regard, which must now put
coldly upon paper, and with which am ever,
truly and faithfully, your friend and servant,

the schooner Legare, but being addicted to
walking in his sleep his wife besought him
not to go: ne was resolute, however, and his
wife fearing the consequences, induced Mr.. r.
Newcomb, boarder in the family, to aocompa-
NY him, and keep sleepess eye upon him he
too promising not to sleep during the two days
and nights passage. They both kept awake I'M
til a late hour of the second night, when Mr..
Newcomb fell asleep on deck, and Mr. Catett
laid down near him, and also fell into dose.
In a short time Mr. c. jumped up, commenced
shouting and clapping his hands, when Captain

ran to catch him, but before he could reach him,
Catlett stumbled and fell overheard to rise no
more! He left wife and six children. He
was impressed with the idea, from the time of
leaving home, that he woeld be drowned.
