Whereas, II has come to our
knowledge through the public press
and other sources of information that
there is a secret, concerted movement
on hand to change the character of
the American flag, and one of the
plans under consideration is to place
the cross and bars of the confederate !,
flag in the field of blue. And we
learn with sorrow and regret thai
this unpatriotic movement has the
approval and endorsement of the d.
r.. a patriotic organization. But
we are charitable to believe it is only
the official heads, who are Largely
southern in their sympathies-not the
-ank and file, for those We know
personally are loyal and true to the
I'D flag and the union. But we have
every reason to believe that tle
