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 a later
proposal from Doctor Franklin. as he
refers to it in his writings:
"Supporters.-In the dexter side:
the genius Of America represented
by a maiden with loose auburn
tresses), having on her head radi-
ated crown of gold encircled with a
sky blue fillet, spangied with silver
stars, and clothed in a long, loose
white garment bordered with green.
From her right shoulder to her left a

gle Six thousand Irish came to this
country in 1929, 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 a
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 slave. Pretenders were

the national banner was taken untdl
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.
"E Pluribus Unum,s to indicate From
Many (Peoplel, one (people);" c.
From Many Nationalities, one -
tion;;" or From England, ScotlaHda
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,
and four subsequent committees la
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 a 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 feur-
de-lys relate to the assistance rem
dered by Ireland and France, and are
blazoned on green banner. How
ever, this committees report Jared no
better than its predecessors, and
finally the entire question of evolving
an appropriate seal was placed in the
hands of the secretary of the Cont.
mental Congress-the Irishman,
Charles Thomson. He, with the aid
Of William Barton, gave to the world
our present emblematic signature

Irish ancestry IN particular, will be in

French allies, they merit the nIgheSL
commendation for their aid to the
cause of freedom; and only because
the former people hailed from an al
ready established government are
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
bolic meaning.
It is generally supposed that the
only important matter which engaged
the attention of the first Continental
Congress, on the fourth day Of July,
was the adoption of the Declaration OF
Independence; but the records show
that no less essential national problem
"a government signature, or seal
was a part of the considerations OF
that eventful occasion. II was about
three o'clock In the afternoon, when
the Liberty Bell was still sounding
the call to arms and proclaiming the
dawn of freedom, that John Hancock,
president of the Continental Congress,
arose from his chair and said:
