SrHs AS was with several gentlemen
viewing the Hall room in the new Odd Eel
lows Hall this morning, and admiring the diff
ferent flags that hung in festoons around the
attracted by the glorious "stars and stripes" of
my own proud country at one end of the Hall,
and while glzing on that starry emblem of
liberty, the lines of Tom Campbell to the Anne
rican flag came into my mind. At the request
of several gentlemen, send them to you for
publication, should they be found worthy of
place in the columns of your paper. G..
CAMPBELL'S ADDRESS 70 THE


AMERICAN FLAG.


United States your banner wears


Two emblems one of fame
Alas the other that it bears


Reminds US Of your shame.


The white mans liberty, in types,


Stand blazoned by your stars
But what's the meaning of your stripes ?
They mean your negroes scars.



George Lunt, in his new volume Of poems,
replied to Campbell, and thus gives the retort
courteous to the Englis flag
England whence came each glowing hue,
That tints your flag of meteor light
The streaming red, the deeper blue,
Cross'd with the moonbeam's pearly white.
The blood and bruse the blue and red
Let Asia's groaning millions speak
The white-it tells of color fed
From starving Erin's pallid cheek
ANSWER TO ENIGMA FROM "THE


COUNTRY" ..
