“Of all the pictures that hang on memory’s walls none is more vivid to me today than the scene of Lafayette’s visit to my native village.  I stood holding my mother’s hand, in the front door of my old homestead, and saw a carriage drawn by six white horses with a venerable gentleman bowing right and left to the crowd.”

Although one generation and almost a second have passed away, a few patriots of the revolution still survive. Some of these present have marched in defence of their country in obedience to your commands. These all yet live to tell us and their posterity what our liberties cost and how they were attained: nay more, they are living heralds of your disinterested and efficacious exertions to redeem us from colonial bondage and guarantee to us those free institutions which are at once the glory and happiness of our country, and are extending their benign influence through the world.

General, I have the honor to represent, on this interesting occasion, a people plain and hardy, but intelligent and virtuous: industrious cultivators of the earth, but enjoying on their lofty hills and in their lowly valleys, comfort and independence. Sincerely attached to the constitution and government of their country, they will never shrink from any sacrifices necessary to support and defend them

Thirty years ago the tyrants of Europe held you in chains in the dungeon of Olmütz; but now you hear the congratulations and receive the hearty thanks of ten millions of freemen. May the imitation of your regard to the sovereignty of the people and the authority of law, as well as of your firmness and zeal, by the youth of different nations, render your history the history of Liberty, and effect this change, that in a few years the Rights of Man, now in many countries fettered, shall hear the shouts of the whole world.

But, General, your adopted Country trembles to trust you in the power of tyrants; would be to Heaven you could tarry among us till the summons comes to call you to the realms of celestial Liberty! God grant that your life may be prolonged to the very verge of sublunary enjoymnent; that those who survive may deposit your remains in the same soil with Washington, Greene, Lincoln, Knox, and the whole radiant galaxy of your compatriots, whose sacred memory, like your own can never perish. This, sir, is the united sentiment of every one who so cordially echoes the universal paen, “Welcome, Lafayette.”
