Our Flag.

Welcome the flag that waved its folds
Upon the battle plain,
That never raltered in the fight,
Or dimmed its glorious name;
Welcome the flag that TO the 'front.'
Was ever proudly borne,
That waved in triumph to the breeze
Above the battles storm.
Oh! see it on that dreadful day,
When Churubuscos field,
Was crimsoned with the blood ofmen
Who'd die, but never yield;
Borne by young but valiant hand
1t firmly stood its ground,
Unawed by that fierce fire Of shot
They fell like rain around.
IUnainchingly amid the fight
Its folds were seen to swell,
Until struck bleeding down to earth
It's valiant barer fell;
One moment then'twas seen to drooT
As that brave heart strove in VAN
10 Lift it colours from the oarth
To bear them on again.
Then welcome the flag that like a birc
Has folded upits wings
And flown to that ark of safety home
From its weary wandenngs;
And welcome the gallant hearts tina
placed
Upon its faded brow lame
b That bright and glorious wreath o
That rests upon it now.

A simple statement Of the facts.
taken from the public records, will
relute The w1nton and ridiculous
charge which Mr.. Luke Lea is bus
iIycirculaling throughout the Stale
that Gen. Quitman was the main in
strument Of the total loss Of the Sink .
ing Fund, which would have cxtln-I
guished the debt for the Planters
Bank" that "his financial policy in
reference 10 the transfer Of the State
Stock in the Planters Bank 10 the /
Natchez Rail Road and Banking
Compan y, resulted in the loss, DC.
&c.
A total stranger to the facts OF the
case would infer from these charges
that Gen. Quitman was the sole pa
rent Of the Transfer Act, as II Isl
called, and that the Natchez Rail
Road Bank became possessed OF the
Sinking Fund and wasted it, when,
in truth Gen. Quitman had no share
whateverin the passage Of the Trans
fer Act" and the evidences Of debt
due the sinking fund never parted
from the control Of the President anc
Cashier Of the Planters Bank until
they were forced from them by the
State Commissioners. They relin-
quished their grip with undisguised
reluctance
The Transfer Act was mtrodu-
ced into the legislature by a whig
Senator from Kinds, and it passed
both houses, receiving a mixed sup
port FROM both political parties. In
the House, Is wings voted for it, and
% democrat. Therleon democrats
and only four wings opposed i. In
the Senate, nine wings and eight dem.
ocrats supported the bill. six dem
ocrats and only three wings opposed
it. Gen. Quitman was not mem
Dor ofether branch Of the legislature.
Go +, McNuit was then the chief ex'
ecutive officer and approved the bill,
II is we'll known that he did so be-
cause he believed with others Of his
party that it gave additional secnri
against loss, iuasmuch as the aci
made the "Railroad and all the prop
ertv. effects and credits of the com
no1y" liable. IN "seiZure for the pay
inent Of the bonds.
Such arc the plain unvamlshed facts
Of the history ofthe introduction ant
passage Of the Transfer Act. /
in no wise effected the Sinking Fund
that remained with the planters Bank
The State stock only was transfers.
That bved to be more moon shine
and could not be sold 1t rgmam

fer Act" ever affected its value. Tn
Sinking Fund also remains IN It's loI
mer condition. save when occasion
ally some lucklcss pet of the Plan
tiers Bank in the day Of its glory, TALL
into the clutches of the vigilant Stat
commissioner. Neither Gen QuI
man or the Natchez Rail Road Ban
ever had the slightest control owe
the sinking fund.
We might have dismissed tbs ma
