THE MARQUIS DE LA FAYETTE
Still retains his popularity in France
-He is the WASHINGTON of that kingdom-as full of ideas of genuine liberty as he is replete with courage.
Revolutions, says the great Sydney-like storms, though destructive at first to individuals, are salutary in their effects--the one clears the air the other clears the land of noxious particles.
This France will experience.
By a chain of connections, those men in France who have led on the people, will pass to posterity as Patriots-but they might have died as Traitors !-The Epigram says right--
Treason doth never prosper--What's the reason?
Why-if it prosper-none dare call it Treason !
