92/137 _The treaty of alliance with France_: may those who attempt to evade or violate the political obligations and faith of our country be considered as traitors, and consigned to infamy. _The citizen soldiers_, before they act may they know and approve the cause, and may remorse attend the man that would think of opposing the French while they war for the rights of man. The _youth_ of the _Paris legion_; may the rising generation of America imitate their heroism and love of country. The republics of France and America; may the cause of liberty ever be a bond of union between the two nations. A dagger to the bosom of that man who makes patriotism a cover to his ambition, and feels his country's happiness absorbed in his own. |
