He Stands by Betsy Horn.

New York, June 30.—John Quincy Adams, secretary of the American Flag House and Betsy Ross Memorial ass<> elation, authorizes an emphatic denial of the story that Betsy Ross was not the maker of the first American United States flag. Secretary Adams says that an exhaustive search of the records and traditions of Philadelphia, made by a score of patriotic societies has “never shaken the truth of the statement that the first flag was made at 239 Arch street, the nome Of Betsy Ross."
