If Washington's likenese teachee the world that “Who will be free themselves must strike the blow.” Latoyette’s presence there tells tke world what Europe's oppressed nations expect from the gal- lant sons o! republican America. And, besides this us personification of patriotic duty and pri- vate generosity, there ie the great idea in thet pic- ture there, that, if America was not too far front Europe to eee, as Lafayette said in Annapolis, “French and American etandards united in the cause of mankind,” when your country wes in need, Europe should not be considered too far to coe the pene republic of the United States, when urope is in need of seeing protected the laws of nations, in which every nation is intereeted, just as every citizen is in the laws of his country. America received from Europe private goverosity id lic astietance. Europe expects from rca only private generosity, and ike assur- ance of ‘fair play.” Sir, let me hope that in this hal), where history thus speaks, principles will rule.
