This was the passage of Lafayette, the guest of the nation, through western Pennsylvania on his famous tour.

Mr.Gallatin welcomed him in an address before the court-house of Uniontown, the capital of Fayette County, on May 26.

In his speech Mr.Gallatin reviewed the condition of the liberal cause in Europe, and the emancipation of Greece, then agitating both continents.

In this all scholars as well as all liberals were of one mind and heart.

After the proceedings Lafayette drove with Mr.Gallatin to Friendship Hill, where he passed the night; crowds of people pouring down the valley from the mountain roads to see the adopted son of the United States, the friend of Washington, the liberator of France.
