of the Flag with thirty-six stars.
President Johnson has professed to
leave that sacred emblem at almost
every Railroad station on the route of
his recent electioneering tour, and
those who sanction his policy and take
pride in the ridiculous exhibition he
ha. made Of himself all the way from
Washington to Chicago, and thence
through the more southern route Of
his return to the capitol of the Ma
ton, have caught the echo, and send
it forth in strains Of ezultatlon-"W
are IN favor of flag with thirty-six
star" -'' We are for having thirty
six States in the Union" All this
sounds very fine, and might be made
an important plank in tleir political
platform, if they could find any body
IN the north to differ with them in
their patriotic desires. The only por-
ton of the Union tina. has shown
disposition to obliterate any of the
stars that nave been placed upon the
