THE OLD DEuoCRATIC FLAG.

Aye give tho old flag to the breeze.
And Heaven defend the right

We want the Dag Of former times
And men Of nerve 10 bear it

We want no black Maria coach,

And we, alone, are hers
We're hand and heart with Uncle Sam
He's old, yet hale and hearty
Death TO the traitor who would damn
The Democratic pnrty
Lot towards quake, and knaves forsake,
Who dare not faco the fire!
There's room to spare tor such as these
In Summers Black Maria
We want that same old '1eague with deathI'
That "covOnant with helll"
Our liberal" brothers call itssuch,
And let then--- it is we'll
We want the constitution, boys,
Let him Who may upbraid it,
We want the same old ship Of State
Just az our fathers made III
Let o0ics-seekors set the snil
To catch each passing breeze;
Let po7sumitos and traitors quail,
And weaken in the knees
Men die; but truth immortal truth,
Eternal warefaro wages.
Aud cvermore rcuows her youth
Through all the countless agcs.
Then throw the same I'D banner out.
The flag our fathers bore.
And raise once moro the battle shout
That thrilled their hearts Of yore.
There's triumph in the honest hoart
Which seeks its couutry's waul:
There's victory i'm the noblcr part,
Which towards cannot feel.
