31. the United States flag--1861. inscribed to S. P. Russell, Esq. by William Ross Wallace. （As read by John Keynton, Esq., at the great Union Meeting at Yorkville, N. Y.

God of our fathers! here we stand, A true, a free, a fearless band, Heart pressed to heart, hand linked in hand, And swear that Flag shall float forever! Still glorious Banner of the Free!

Sons of men who fought and bled, Whose blood for you was freely shed, Where Marion charged and Sumter led, For freemen's rights!

Death or liberty! --N. O. Picayu
