WHEREAS the general assembly of Maryland, anxious
to perpetuate a
name dear to the state, and to recognize the marquis de la Fayette
for one of its citizens, who, at the age of nineteen, left his native
country, and risked his life in the late revolution; who, on his joining
the American
army, after being appointed by congress to the rank of major-general, disinterestedly
refused the usual rewards of command, and sought only to deserve
what he attained, the character of patriot and soldier; who, when appointed
to
conduct an incursion into Canada, called forth by his prudence and extraordinary
discretion the approbation of congress; who, at the head of an army in
Virginia,
baffled the manœuvres of a distinguished general, and excited the admiration
of
the oldest commanders; who early attracted the notice and obtained the
friendship
of the illustrious general Washington; and who laboured and succeeded in
raising the honour and the name of the United States of America:
Therefore, |
