ADDRESS OF MISS SLATER.

SIRs: In behalf Of the Ladies of Dover am the
humble instrument commissioned to present to the
Home Guard this stand of colors. In so doing it is
needless to rehearse the many causes which have
produced the revolution which now distracts our
once happy and prosperous country. Suffice it to
say that millions of freemen have arisen and pro-
claimed their independence and to establish and
maintain that independence, the Home Guard are
willing 10 lend their assistance in protecting their
dear homes.
"Guard your homes till they are free,
Guard them, God will prosper thee"
Burning with patriotic desires and painting for
glory, they yield themselves to the God Of battle
for the purpose Of vndicating the rights of their
people oS offer themselves sacrifice upon the altar
of their Country. What glorious cause What
noble ambition Your fathers before you engaged
in such cause. Long and bloody was their con-
test for freedom. But thanks to him who holds the
destinies of nations within his hands, they were
victorious. May such success be yours. The Rev.
olution is again TO be fought and, liberty must be
victorious again The blood of your fathers who
fell at Bunker Hill and Yorktown cryforth from their
graves to their chivalrous sons. Once more defend
your homes and your ire-sides Tennesseeans ac-
cept the issue. Be true TO the last Of your blood,
and like reapers descend 10 the harvest Of death
What freeman is there unwilling to fight for such
n country and such a cause. In the language OF
Patrick Henry sis life so dear and peace so sweet
as to be purchased at the price of chains and slave
ry," nerer ReUer,
The tide of war may turn against you, but re-
member
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again."
"And error wounded writhes in pain"
We feel assured in placing this flag in the hands
Of the Home Guard its bright folds will neUer no
nsDsr trail in the dust until the last member of that
gallant band shall fall with it as a winding sheet
But let US not anticipate this for in my minds eye,
see it proudly unfurled to the breeze upon the
dome of the Capital at Washington Accept il as
present from the Ladies Of Dover and In the hour
of battle forget them not but think Of the homes
you arc guarding and with what emotion every La
dys heart beats when she feels she is kindly protec-
ted at home in the hour of contest.
"Be not dismayed
The spirits Of your chieitain sires
Shall rise on every field,
Aud start anew wars blazing fires
Again their standard WELD,
Amid the awful carnage there
They cry with every breath.
Sons of freedom Onward march,
To victory or death
