America have not degenerated liom their Fathers of the Revolution. In pausing to contemplate, with appropriate fellings, this sublime example of popular gratitude, united with reverence lor character and principles, the General Assembly learn with peculiar

satisfaction, that it is the intention ol general Lafaysttc to visit the western section of the United States. I he lelicity denied by a mysterious Providence, to the Father of his country, has, it is hoped, been reserved for his adopted son. What the immortal Washington was permitted to see only through the dark vista of futurity, will be realized in the fulness of vision, by his associate in arms and glory. The General Assembly hail, withinexpressible pleasure, the prospect of this auspicious visit. 1 hey cannot, they are aware, receive their benefactor in the cos tly abodes of magmficience and taste, nor vie with their sister states in the embellishments of a hospitality more brilliant than i; is theirs to offer, but not more sincere, liut they can, and do in common with the whole American people, welcome him to a home in their hearts

The committee to whom was referred,

a joint R .solution of the General Assemble, directing them to take into consideration, the proprie y of the General As

sembly's epr ssing their sentiments in Tetcrence to M tjor General Lafayette, respectfully report the following Preamble and Resolutions. The Sen ite and House of Representatives of the state of Indiana, in General Asjmb'y convened, vvoutd be deficient in respect to the teeiii gs of their constituents, anil tmmindlul ot their obligations to a distinguished benefactor, did they fail to join the pecan ot national gratitude and unanimous welcome to Major G nera Lalavette, on the occasion of his late anial in the Uuited States. It is scarcely necessary for them to say, that

they unanimously accord with the sen timents expressed towards their illustrious fiicn l, by the chiet magistrate of th" Union and couliallyadd their sanction to the provision in his favor, recently enacted by t ongress. The latter they view as the smalicst return for his pte-cmincnt services, and sacrifices, the Ametican people could make, or the Nation receive. It is the dignity of a spectacle unparalleled in the histoty of man, that thry peculiirly feel and admire. Ten millions of hcaits spontaneously offering the homage of their gratitude to a private individual, unsupported by rank or power, for services lung past, of the purest and

eral Lafa)ette, this, with the preceding

resolution and preamble, accompanied by an invitation to visit this state at the seat ot Government, or such town on the Ohio river as the General may designate. Resolvtd, That the Governor of the State, together with such officers and citizens as may find it convenient to atattend at the point selected by Geneial Lafayette, to receive him with the honours due to the illustrious guest of the state and nation, and that the Governor draw on the contingent fund for the payment of all expenses incurred in executing these resolutions. Resolved, That the Governor be requested to transmit a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the President of the United States, and to each of our senators and representatives in con-

uress.
