Government Ours is Government founded on
the eternal principles of Freedom and Equality,
and having for its object the advancement and
protection OF the civil and religious liberty of
mankind. AT no period since the adoption OF
the Constitution of the United States has there
been more important and opportune time Tor
the people of this country to give expression OF
their love, their devotion and attachment to the
Union than upon the coming 4th OF July-the
natal day of Our Country's Independence.
For eighty-fve years our Government has with
stood every shock from abroad. and welded by
the affection of The people, succeeded in allaying
commotion at home. Except the unfortunate
feuds which have so recently disturbed the peace
OF the nation, this Government is venerated by
the masses of freemen who enjoy those great and
enlarged privileges under the Stars and Stripes.
The patriotism of the people will never permit
the Union to be torn asunder and destroyed.
The epoch that gave freedom an existence in
our country is too glorious to be forgotten. The
memory and deeds of valor which secured the
noble achievement are too sacred and too holy
| to be forgotten. The wisdom and courage that
nut in operation our Government must forever
remain shining record to succeeding genera.
tions. The monuments rising IRON the soil
sprnked by the blood of the revolutionary IA
,bers in every section of the land, will bear to
posterty the Inscriptions Of glory and renown
Let all, therefore, who are true to the Union,
rally round the noble standard, untainted and
unsuled by so many bitter conflicts in defense
of freedom and humanity. Let every eye con
template the beauty and honor of our flag; LEI
every heart throb with pride for the brilliant
victories it has won, and let the voice of every
loyal citizen be raised in its honor to sing in the
inspired language of our patriot bard-Josept

When Freedom from her mountain height,
Unfurlcd her standard 10 the air,
She tore the robe of night,
Aud set the STAYS of glory there
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baltlrc OF the skies.
And striped It's pure celestial white
With strbakings Of the morning light
Then, from his mansion ~ tbs sun,
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosep land
Majestic monarch Of the cloud
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
Aud see the lightning lances driven,
When stride the warriors Of the storm,
And rolls the thunder drum Of heaven
Child of the sun to thee It's given
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine aiar,
Like rainbows on the cloud Of war,
The harbingers of victory.
FLAG of the brave! Thy folds shall ny,
Tie sign Of hope and triumph high
When speaks the signal trumpet tone
And the long line comes cleaning on
(Ere vet the life bIO0d warm and wet
Has dimmcd the gstcning blyoncD
Each soldier eye shalt brightly tura
To where thy skyborn gores burn,
And. AS his springing steps advance
Catch and vengeance from the glance
And when the cannon mouthings loud,
IeaVe in wild wreathS the battle shrOud,
Aud CORY saDres rise ana lhl,
Like shoots of flame ON midnight S pail
There shall thy meteor glances glow,
Aud covering foes shall shrink beneath,
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger qf death

Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave,
When death careeiing Qp the gale,
Sweeps darky round the beiIied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly BACK
Before the broadSide's rccllng rank,
Each dying wandercr of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven apd thee,
And smile to see thy spcndors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye
Flag Of the free hearts hope and home,
BY angel hands to yalor given

And all thy hucs were born in heaven!
