THE BLUE IN TIE FLAG.-Alfred B. Street,
Esq, Ct Albany, recently read a sketch Of the
Battle ofSaratosa before the New York Histor-
ical Society. We quote a part of the conclu-
sion, introduced by the Rev DIR. Smith, III
his Fourth of July discourse:
"The stars of the new flag represented the
new constellation of States rising in the West.
The idea was taken from the ccnste llation OF
Lyria, which in the hands of Orpheus signi-
6es harmony. The blue in the field was taken
from the edges of the Conyenanter's banner in
Scotland, significant also of the league and
covenant of the United Colonies against OPP
preston, incidently involving the virtues of
vigilance, perseverance and justice. The stars
were disposed in a circle, symbolizing the per
petuity of the Union, the Ring, like the cir
cling serpent of Egyptians, signifying eternity,
The thirteen stripes, showed with the stars,
the number of the United Colonies and demo
ted the saubordination of the States to the
Union, as we'll as equality among themselves
The whole was the blending of the various
flags previous to the Union Flag-viz: the red
flags of the army and the white ones of the
floating batteries. The red color, which Id
Roman days was the signal of defiance, de
notes daring; and the white, purity.
''What eioquence do the stars breathe wher
their full significance is known. A new con
stellation! Perpetuity IA covenant agains
oppression! Justice, equality, subordination
courage, and purity !?

, AsGREAr MIsrAKE.-The leaders of the
Republican party have just made the discovery
that the revolutionary war was fought entirely
sfor the benefit of niggers. hie men had
nothing to do with it. When, according to
aGiddings idea, the Republicans become the
fully developed frog they will swear that
George Washington was a niger. A leading
Republican has claimed, that we must have
an anti-slavery God, and an anti-slavery Bible,
and our Republican friends will shortly de-
mand an anti-slavery History of the United
States, which will prove that Washington and
Jefferson were niggers, and that white men
had nothing to do in achieving the indepen-
kdeuce of the Colonies.-Hardfn Democrat.
