ION OF the committee, meet the general
appreciation, as well of those who NAV
have regretted Il former departure from

The committee cannot believe that in
retaining only thirteen stripes, it necessn-
rily follows they should be distinctly con
sidered IN reference to certain individual
states, inasnluch as nearly. all the new
states were component part of. and re-
pres nted in the original states-and in

REPORT or rHENAr1nN.1 co.

REPORT ON THE NATIONAL FLAG.
The Committee of the House 0fRepre-
sentafIves OF the United States appointed
to enquire into tile expediency Of alterinG
the Flag of the United States, beg leave 70
Report-That they have matureIv eva
mined the subject submitted for their con
slderation, and are well aware that anv
proposition essentially TO alter the fac
OF the Unlted States, either in its general
form or IN the distribution of its parts
would be rs unacceptable to the I.ee;s-
iature and to the people, as it wouId be
unconSeniai with the views of the com
mttee.
Fully persuaded that the form selected
tor The American flag was truly emblema-
ticdi oi our origin and existence as an in
dependent nation, and that, assuch, it has
received the appreciation and support of
the citizens ofthe Union, it ought to I'M
dergo no change that would decrease lie
conspicuity, or tend TO deprive if ofits re
preventative character.
The committee, however. believe tb,t
a change i'll the number of States i,
the Union, sufficiently indicates fine nro-
priety of such Il change in the arrange-
ment OF the flag, as shall best accord with
the reasons that led to its adoptien and
sufficiently point to important periods of
our history.
The original flag of the United Stafos
was composed of thirteen stripes and thir.
teen stars, and was adopted bv resoIu-
ton ofthc continental Congress. on file
lith OF June, M. On the 18th of Jan
uary, 1904, after two new states had been
admitted into the Union, the National
Legislature passed all act that tie strincs
and stars should, on a day fixed. be in
creased to fifteen each, TO COMFORT with
the then number of independent States
he accession OF new States since that
and the certain prospect that
at no distant period the number Of States
WILDE considerably multiplied, render il
III our opinion, highly inexpedient to in
crease the number Ofsiripes, as every Aav
must IN some measure, be limited I'm lis
size, from the circumstance of couVe-
n!eiIce 10 TIE place on which it is TO be
ulSpiayeu, while such an increase would
decrease their magnitude. and
render them prOportiOnably less distinct In
distant observation. This consideration
mas induced many TO retain only tie zen
eral form OF the flag, while there ACTUALLY
Exists great vast Of uniformity i'm ifs
adjustment, particularly when used ON
small private vessels. The natiut,;J Ia,
beng IN general use by vessels Of almost
every description, it appears TO the com
9'i'lee OF considerable importance TO A.
'opt some arrangement calculated fo |
prevent, IN future, great or extensive al |
erali9ns. Under these impressions. they |
ire yea 10 believe no alteration could be |
hale, more emblematical Of our ORIGIN
'h'' present existence, as composed Of |
