Let their last feeble and lingering glance rather behold the gorgeous ensign of the republic, now known and honored throughout the earth, still full high advanced, its arms and trophies streaming in their original Iuster, not a.stripe erased or polluted, nor a single star obscured, a stripe nor a si bearing for its motto no such miserable inter is all this worth?' nor those other words of beartng its motto no interrogatory as, 'What worth ?' nor those of delusion and folly,
'Liberty first and union afterward'; but everywhere, spread over all in characters of living light, blazing on all its ample folds as they float over the sea and over the land, and in every wind under the whole }leavens that other sentiment, dear to every true American heart-Liberty and lJnion, now and forever, one and inseparable."
-Daniel Webster.
