this day, will be entitled to receive the greatest measure of respect and venera- tion. are the old battle flags, riddled, torn and rent by shot, shell and shrapnel. Less than half century ago, a poet (now dead) wrote:
 Borne through the smoke of the battles,
 and pierced with missiles,
 And carried hither and yon through tho
 smoke, and torn and bloody,
 And at last but a few shreds left on the
 staffs,
 And the staffs all splintered and broken" ,"
 They came back from the battles and were carefully perserved by the various states. Of all material possessions there is none sacreder or more precious, save only the graves of those who marched and fought under them.

That flag now waves over great nation, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Lakes; from the Atlantic to beyond the Pacific Sea: and inhabited by nearly ninety millions of people, who speak common language.
