Like the son of Marcus Cato, you have been a foe to tyrants, and your country's friend, and that country now tenders to you the tribute of her affection and gratitude. You seem, Sir, like the aged oak, standing alone on the plain, which time has spared a little longer, after all its cotemporaries have been levelled with the dust, but the people delight to gather round the venerable trunk, and dwell beneath the shadow of its yet green foliage. Associated as you have been with the father OF his country, partaking largely of his confidence, and deeply imbued with the lofty patriotism of his char acter, it must be gratifying to you, to visit this, the theatre of his earliest achievements.
