NEW-YORK. December 8.
The highest compliment perhaps ever paid to public virtue has been exhibited by the legislatures of several States, in ordering the late address of the President to the people of the United States to be entered on their Journals or published with their Laws. Compared with this testimony of approbation, expressed by an affectionate and grateful people, the triumphs of a Roman general leading kings in chains, and of a French conqueror, bearing standards, pictures and statues from the vanquished, into the hall of the Convention, dwindle into insignificant puerilities. More pleasure thus the GENUINE PATRIOT feels,
" Than Cæsar with a Senate at his heels."
