the national banner was taken until
June IA, 1777. But Jefferson was so
impressed with the idea OF recognize
ing the countries from whence Amer
lea was peopled, and to show definite
ly admiration for their patriotism IN
the fight for liberty, that he placed be-
low the Du Simitier idea the motto,
Re Pluribus Unum," to indicate From
Many (People), one (people);" or
From Many Nationalities, one ma
tion;" or From England, Scotland.
Ireland, France, Germany, and the
Netherlands-the United States" The
motto does not mean" From many
Colonies, one nation" as the basic
definition is clearly indicated in the
device and in Jefferson's description.
Still, Congress was hard to please,
and the report of the distinguished
committee was set aside and new
committee assigned to the task.
Though Jefferson continued deeply in
terested in the matter and submitted
several other devices, no less than
twenty designs were under discussion.

bored with the seal problem.
Then in 1882 a committee called to
their aid a certain Mr.. William Bar
ton, patriot, soldier and heraldic ex-
pert, and he designed seal which
again incorporated the emblems IN
token of the Irish allies Of the Re-
public. His design was elaborate and
practically became the basis Of our
present seal. In the shield the Stars
and Stripes appear and the eagle and
eye of Providence But the special
consideration of the Irish is found IN
the two figures supporting the pro
posed design. The harp and the fleur-
de-lys relate to the assistance rem
dered by Ireland and France, and are
blazoned on a green banner. How
ever, this committees report Jared no
better than it's predecessors, ana
finally the entire question OF evolving
an appropriate seal was placed in the
hands of the secretary OF the Cont
mental Congress-the lrishman,
Charles Thomson. He, with the aid
of William Barton, gave to the world
our present emblematic signature.

gle. Six thousand Irish came to this
country in 1923, and dispersed and
settled throughout the colonies, princi-
pally in Maryland, Virginia and the
Carolinas. From among those devout
settlers sprang some of the most
prominent and influential colonists.
The musical instrument which SYM
bolizes the land of Erin was an at
tributive ensign Of the Goddess Hi
hernia, the patroness of early Ireland.
AS early as the fifth century, the harp
was SO common in Erin that hardly
peasant house was without one. In
the old laws of Wales and Erin the
Triads specified the use of the harp
as one of the three things necessary
to distinguish freeman or gentle
man from a slave. Pretenders were

jected to as an American emblem on
account of the harp being representa-
tive OF Ireland.
But this, like many other devices,
was not reported from the committee.
There is good reason to believe that
the following design came as later
proposal from Doctor Franklin, as he
refers to it in his Writings:
"Supporters.-In the dexter side:

ranged by Jefferson, based on the COM
pilation of Huguenot named Du
Simitier, be reported to Congress on
August 10, 1776. The design in ques-
ton was quite elaborate and indicated
fundamental knowledge of the laws
of heraldry, besides containing primal
symbolic language, and one impor-
tant element which appealed strongly
to the Irish pride of race. The pro-
posed shield carried an emblem to
represent the six great nationalities
taking part in the war for independ-
ence, or those who populated the col
onies and We're earnest in the fight
for American freedom. Thus, for Eng.

thistle, for Ireland harp, for France
f1uer-de-lys, for Germany a black
eagle, and for the Netherlands a lion.
Du Simitier, who was the heraldic art
list, placed Ireland third in this i'm
portant subdivision OF that proposed
shield for the Union, and it is inter-
esting to note the reasons set forth
for this recognition of the patriotism
of the colonial inhabitants who came
here from Ireland:
The third Quartering, green, with a
harp of gold, was to be the respected
symbol of Ireland, and was placed
upon the shield as token to the Irish
patriots who took an active part in the
war for independence: in fact, having
brought over with them spirit OF dis.

the former people hailed from an al

their claims granted precedence.
Irish historic emblems, both in device
and tincture, are woven unalterably
into the fabric of the evolution OF
American history. Here, for the
first time, are set forth items OF
great heraldic Importance, giving the
proper credit to Erin's emblems. as
they have formed an equation in the
development of the present govern
mental devices of heraldic or sym

1t is generally supposed that the
only important matter which engaged

Congress, on the fourth day OF July,
was the adoption of the Declaration OF

that no less essential national problem

that eventful occasion. 1t was about
three o'clock in the afternoon, when
the Liberty Bell was still sounding

president of the Continental Congress,
arose from his chair and said:
