He believ ed La I'ayette bad made i^realsacrifices— 111* as lirndy bilieveil it, us he did any ihiiii^^ inider the sun : his mind, body and ('Slate, had been devoted to the success of our cause ; but this was no reason why more should be done for him th.an for an American ciiizen. i\Ltny an American liad ^onc into the war allluent, ancl come out poor. '1 his, theti, said Mr. Macon, is my objection, ll is the true conviction of my own mind, and it is as disaf^reea- ble to me to stale it, as it is uiijdeasant to the Senate to bear it. It is not the sum, but the j^Moiind 1 have slated. I h:ive no doidn, said Mi-. M. of the i)ussaee of the bill. I .Mr’.

Dui iiif^ a pei loil of si\. years, from the year \777 to ITS.l. he had expended, in the Americati ser\ice, 700,000 francs, erpial to 1 •I0,f'00 dollr.rs. 'I'his document, said Mr. H. is derived from t’- ‘ nif)st auihenlic soiu-ce in I'l aru e, and has come into my ha!ids from a re- speeta!)le incm!)erof this bouse, vviil.oiit the knowledt^e jr cons(.il of the Cieneral and his friends. 'I'lie fact to w hich he called their atK'ii- tion \^as, that during the six years ihe (Jeneral had been euf^^a^'-ed in the service, be had expended SHO,000 of his I’ortune;! lu> was ill a stale (>f prosperity, and i!i the enjoyment of a pletitifid fortune in his f)wn rcuntry, when lie resolved to come to this. He purchased a ship, raised, e(juip]icd, armed and clothed a re.:.>;imrnt at his own e>]>ense, and uhrn he landed on tliese coasts, be came Ireii^liled with th(' munitions f)f w ar, w hich he distribu ted p^ratuiloiisly to (;ur army. Il is on recoril that lu' rlothcd and |)Ut shoes on (he feet of (lie naked, suirtM'in^ soldiers of America, and (hatdsuinj; six years he sacrificed asked for no comp'‘nsa(ion—be made out no account— lie received no pay—he spetil bis fortune foi’ this counti-y, and not only i>ave his services, but hazarded his life in its de fence, shed his blood in its service, and returned bonve broken in his fortune.— What did (lovernment do.^ After the war. in 179 1. they ^Mve him the full pay of a Cieneral, to which, he was en titled 12 or U years befoi’c. If any A- merican cilize»i had done as much, and broiitfht in an account statin.q; he bad ex- l>ended i 140,000, and made application for compensation, would it not have been t'ranted ? Indeed, if we were to make out an account current of the expenses and sacrificesof the General, it would far exceed the siini now' |>roposed. But he never rendered a claim : he would have starved ere he vvoidd have done it. I have other documents, said Mr.TIayne, to which I shall brielly refer. There is one fact w'hich shews how alive he was to every honorable sentiment. He has made sacrifices that can never be repaid. C'onj^^ress, in their gratitude, made him a donation of 11,000 acres of land, which, at the value of lands at that time, was not worth more than Si UOOO; and, by an act of 1804, they authorised him to locate this land f)i\ any spot in the United States that mii>;ht be vacant ; and his ai^^ent accord- itii^ly located it in the nei.cjhborhood of New-Orleans. In 1807, Conf^ress passed an act, conlirmin;^ the title to the City Council of New-Orleans, all lands within r>00 yards of its limits. Part of the land beloni^inp;- to Gen. La I'ayette was included in this j^rant, and on the fact beinii: communicated to him in France by his a.u^ent, accompaTued by le-ral advice of the validity of bis title, he rc])Iied, that it was not for him to in- (|uire into the circumstances, but that he, reccivint^ bounty frofa the i^overnment of the United States, could oidy receive it as they chose to give it; t.nd directed his agent to enter a rerm(|uishnient of the land in (piestion. 'I'his land, according to the estimate of gentlemen from Louis iana, is now worth 8500,000. But there is another circumstance to be stated ; hav ing located the land, he made a contract with an Irish llaronet for the sale of a l)ortion of it, and lie afterwards made it his business to find him out—he i-elin- (juished his own right, and, at his own ex|)ense, indticetl l.im to relinquish every legal claim that he could have upon the United States. This relin(uiishnu'nt was he Ik.H been su' on file in the Land Oflice, and Mr. If. submitted the documents to the exaniina- tion of the Senate. 'I'hesc' claims ajipear certainly in a ve ry strong, and he might say, irresistible siiape before the Senate. His hoii. friend, on the right, had said that we treat this }*;cnth-4iiau hetlt r tliatr we do oui-native sons ; hut il aj)pi aredithat they barely did him justice. I!^id ihe getUlenuin doubt that this governmenl w ere in the habit of making renuiueration for sacrifices and s(>rvices—he would ri ter to an act passed in 17i'i\ granting compensation to l-’red- erick \\ illiaui Huron Sleuben, for sacri fices and services. Mr. 11. ])rocet\U-d to refer to many in stances where the gcnei-nment fiad not onK granted j)eeuniary assistame, but hatl grained a whole lowiishij) of land for saci iii. es aiitl sei'\ices. He was not one of those w ho were afraid of making pre cedents—a good ])re'edent can ne\er do evil : and when nalitjtis, as well as indi- \idiu'is. gave way lo the nol)h'st feelings of our luiture. they best ])roiuo(ed the o*' (hr couiKiy aiul tlie welfare of I iii> peojde ; hul (he case of I,a 1 avetle Lo'.ild i’u'iii no ))reeedenl—i( stood aiotie.

He thought-tiiis was a case of its own kind, and could never happen again*-—but. if’ il Could, they would lohow the brilliant example which wouUl this day be set. With regard to the objection to the thing itself, tlie honorable gentleman from Ohio wished it to be r('comi,nilted for some emendations, but be had not proposed any instructions to the c(jmmittee, and they were ipnorant of wiiat he desired.^ He knew There was a very large majority in liodi Houses of Congress, anrl au over whelming mfijority among the j)cople, who desired that some such expression should l>e given of tlie public feeling.— The f)tily dilVercncc w'as, as to the mode I of doinspt. and the amount. And where so manv concur, it was necssary that in dividuals should sacrifice their private oi)ini»)iis on the subject. It was iinpos- sible lo devise a scheme which would sat isfy everv one ; for there would always be some one to raise objections—whether the intended donations should be in mon- ( S', stock, or lands. He could assure them, that the committee had taken the greatest pains, and had not been able lo devise any plan which could approach nearer the gen(‘ral sentiment,-than the one they had adopted. I'heir object was to make such an appropriation as should comfort his declining years, and smooth his path to the grave. It would be, be sides, a perpetual monument of their gratitude. The stock woidd remain on the books to the last; and when they had redeemed all other debts, then they would redeem the debt of gratitude which they owed to this distinguished soldier. A tract of huul would have a tendency.to keep him amongst us, and would l)e a portion for his children. It would also add to the grace of the gift, and the im pression it would produce. It was his opinion that the public acts ought to be done gracefully.—It would make a favor able impression abroad. Mr. Hayiie said he would solicit his friends to relincjuish their j)rivate opin ions on this occasion. Such an act as this, to be w'ell done, should be delicately and promptly managed ; and he hoped, as this was the general sense, they would yield. To send" him back to France, without making any provision for him, would leave him to linger out his last days in poverty, and make him a public spectacle for all Europe—you leave him without means of obtaining those acts of kindness and attention so useful uud ne cessary in the decline of life. Mr. A lac oh said he did not like the Presi dent’s .^fexsriffe. He did not know'the o- pinion of others on the subject, only spoke to satisfy luinself. Whatever they might choose to think, he conceived it a public duty to speak as ho did. He had had no conversation with others on ihe subject. J man ivho risks all loses all. lie had no doubt about every word of the manu scripts his friend had in his hand, and there was no occasion to toll him they did not come from La Fayette himself. At the suggestion of some fViends, Mr. Brown said he would withdraw his mo tion, and the bill was ordered to be en grossed for a third reading to day and on the (piesiion—shall the bill pass r Mr. Noble called for the Ayes and Noes, n^^f^ bei’jg able to give his sanction to it. * The Ayes and Noes were demanded by one fifth of the whole number present; and those who voted in the affirmative were, Messrs.
