Freedom's champion in the cause of Po- land, the brave and patriotic Kosciusko, upon a recommenda- tion from the philosophic Franklin, was received by Wash- ington with friendship and esteem. From a mere Colonial fight, — thought, at first, by the English Government to be ephe- meral, — the eyes of Europe were now turned upon the American National War, its duration uncertain as its magnitude. The character of Washington, already so conspicuous for bravery, skill and perseverance, had now to be ...tried upon a field, where Death himself, (arrayed in all the terrors of a malignant and contagious disease,) threatened to be the only victor : — but, as the finest gold is known by the heated furnace, so the virtue of Washington needed only to be tried by this fiery ordeal to prove its purity. When the terrible disease of the .small pox had weakened the strength of the Northern and Middle Divisions, and threatened the total annihilation of the Patriot army, — the Father of his Country, (as of a family) by the bold act of gene- ral inoculation, arrested the calamity : and at once restored health and tranquillity throughout the States.
