Seeing the increased popularity of the flag, the Montreal Herald on the 20th of October 1837 recommended the flag be destroyed. Later that week on the 23rd of October at a demonstration in Saint-Charles, the Patriote flag was hoisted on the "liberty pole" alongside French revolutionary flags and other banners with messages such as "Liberty! We'll Conquer or Die for Her,". With the failure of the Lower Canadian Rebellion, the Patriote flag eventually fell out of common use by the 1840s, with it being perceived as a symbol of revolution first and foremost instead as symbol of Canada. A vertical bi-colour version of the Patriote flag containing green and white was adopted by the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste (SSJB) in 1842 but it did not enjoy the same success as its predecessor. By the mid 1840s it many people and organisations like the SSJB had abandoned almost all traces of the old flag in favour of the French tricolour which would lead to the re-emergence of fleur-de-lis within the French-Canadian community. The Maple leaf would also go onto become a popular symbol for representing Canada
