LA GLOIRE DE LAFAYETTE EN AMÉRIQUE DU SUD : LOUANGES DÉMOCRATIQUES ADRESSÉES À LAFAYETTE PAR LES AMÉRICAINS DE BUENOS AIRES. “THE SACRED STAR OF LIBERTY HAS EXTENDED ITS RAYS TO ANOTHER HEMISPHERE" Promulgation officielle de la résolution passée “at a meeting of the Citizens of the U.S. held at the Franklin Hotel", félicitant Lafayette pour son arrivée aux Étast-Unis et organisant un committee pour lui rendre hommage signé par J.M. Forbes comme Chairman et William Dana comme Secrétaire 2. Lettre signée par cinq citoyens américains de Buenos Aires adressée à Lafayette : “On this auspicious day a Congress of the Provinces of La Plata has assembled for the purpose of consolidating an union on principles which, it is believed, are intended to be similar to those of our own well tried institutions, and whilst the roar of cannon and the shouts of the people proclaim in our ears a Nation determined to life free or die, we view with pride the Standard of Our Country floating triumphant where but a few years since, it was almost unknown : we see it now assume the highest post of honour and (like a protecting Deity) waving beside the banners of infant Republics, declaring to the World, that the sacred Star of Liberty has extended its rays to another Hemisphere. This glorious Standard, this rallying point of Freemen, you nobly assisted to rear, sustained it in the desperate strife, and never left it until Victory had crowned your hopes" ; ajoutant “our feeble voice to the acclamations of the Millions who have welcomed your arrival on our native shore", signé par E. Morgan, W. Dana, J. Eickleburger, B.H. Springer et Francis S. Coxe, 2 pp. in-4, Buenos Ayres, 16 décembre 1824 The end of Spanish rule in South America is customarily dated to 9 December 1824 (exactly a week before the date of this letter), when the Royalist Army was finally defeated at the Battle of Ayacucho. John Murray Forbes (1771-1831) was a famous diplomat and lawyer, chargé d’affaires in Buenos Aires. He was a friend of Monroe and a distant ancestor of vice-president John Kerry. He was the uncle of the futur railroad magnate John Murray Forbes (1813-1893). William Dana was the U.S. Consul in Argentina.
