On the Chesapeake gave as his dying
words the order, Don't give up the
ship but fate compelled his crew to
strike their colors. The Essex, the
first American frigate to sail around
Cape Horn into the Pacific, found a
British vessel waiting for her, and in
the battle which ensued the enemy
came off victorious. In the midst OF
these disasters the New Englanders
were disregarding by a majority OF
votes what the national government at
Washington decreed. They quietly and
secretly published a most unsatisfac-
tory report that was supposed by
many to have had its origin in an at
tempt to break up the federal power.
The south and middle west were 10y
al to the federal edicts. Jackson's mar
velous victory at New Orleans, while
possibly one of the most pronounced
military successes in the history OF
civilized warfare, was achieved after
peace had been declared, and hence
cannot be said to have had any bear
ing on the ending Of hostilities. The
terms of peace were largely brought
about through French influence, as be-
cause of the military conditions ex-
listing between England and France,
the British found it impolitic to fol-
low up the American campaign, al
though the war was in their favor.
Here, then, is an apt illustration OF
how the French (the Cock) protected
the Eagles nest (America). So much
for the first line; the next is espe'
cially prophetic:
'erhe stars shall rise all in the West"
Immediately after the war Of 1917

II should be remembered that In those
days any country lying on the sun
: down side of the Allegheny mountains
was considered west. Hence the open

The writer
possesses an heraldic sketch designed
by Franklin while in Europe, actu-
ally indicating E~ngland's cruel
though motherly treatment Of her
children, the thirteen colonies, indicat-
ing the French concern in the wei
fare of these struggling dependencies
"a remarkable similarity to the lines
under consideration. In these her
aldic pictures Franklin represents the
colonies as Of the calm and peaceful
animal kingdom, the crane and also
the dove. In fact a committee dele
gated to devise a signature for the
United States, reported in 1882 that
the goddess Of America (Columbia)
have upon her dexter hand perched a
dove argent (white)." While the elab-
crate design was not accepted by the
continental congress 1t indicates that
in these days the colonies were often
symbolized by a dove, in fact, that

symbolism of the "olive branch" in
