After the meeting adjourned, the following pa
triotic song, written by DR.. Waddle, of Louisiana
was sung by young gentleman
OUR FLAG.-BY Dr. WApDLE.
Throw out our dag upon the breeze,
And let its folds wave clear,
Whilst every freeman shouts who sees,
Yes freedoms home is there.
Who from that staff would raise his hand
To tear that flag away,
The curses of his native land
Would wither to decay.
Its stripes and stars most glorious wave
Ger freedom and the free;
No crnging bastard, coward slave,
Here basely bends the knee.
All hail thou great and glorious flag
That DER oppressions yoke
Can never wave-nor freemen lag
When in the cause Of Polk.
The br ght Lone Star and Oregon,
Arc blazoned in its light
And every where are rushing on,
Its champions to the fight
Louisana's field is one
The foes have left her land
She revels in,a glowing sun,
And nuriures freedoms band.
Then Alabama sends US news,
That Locos, firm eel,
Are DER the State victorious,
And even in Mobile.
Missours star shines nobly bright,
Now that the battles DER;
And Democracy's beaming light
Is stronger than before.
Indiana where now is she
That State benz ghed longi
Yes where she's where she ough to be-
Mid freedom, gathering throng
And Illinois-she still is true
A glorious bes con light
Each year assumes a brighter hue,
To cheer us in the fight.
Kentucky yes! what shall say
or her-where whgysry towersl
Why this-sbes almost won the day
One battle more, she's ours.
And Carolina, too-old North
Shakes of the fed'ral yoke
And In November will stand FORTH
For Ttras, DALLAS !! POLK!!t
Thus every where, next fall, will wave,
The ensigr Of the free;
AMI all will shout, save hirelng slave,
For old Democracy.
