FLAG Of THE I NITED STATES. eVr waved brncath the golden sun A lovelier banner for the brave, Than that our bleeding fathers won, And proudly to their children gave, fJor earth a fairer pern can bring, Or freedom claim a brighter scroll, Than that to which our free hearts cliu The flac which lights the freeman's soul! Its glorious stars in nzuro shine, The radiant heraldry of heaven; Its stripe. in beauteous order twine, The emblem of our Union given ; And tyrants with a trembling gaze, Survey its bright and mete or glare! fVhiJe glory's beams around it blaze. And rest in fadeless splendor there. Look, freemen, on its streaming folds, As gallantly they range afar, TVhrre freedom's bird undaunted holds The branch ot pence, and spear of war. While high amid the rolling star, With words which every heart expand, Tithiu her beak, serene, she bears The badge of our united land ! Beheld thy star wrought ensign fwesp, Thy country's pride the tyrant's bane, Unrivalled on the foaming deep, Unconquered on the battle plain, Alone the exulting mountain gale, Tis borne with wild majestic flow, A? trailing meteors sky ward sail, And leave the dazzled world below! Trom shore to shore, from hill to hill. Where freedom's voice has yet been heard, 'Tis welcomed with a holy thrill, And oft rebellion's flame has stirr'd ; Around the glr.be thrown every dims, Where onmmtrce wafts or man has trod, It floats aloft unstained with crime, But hallow'd by heroic blood. Though France haa crushed her Bourbon flow "cr, And eeized the flag her valor sought, She holds it as oppressors dower A name is all the boon it brought Though Albion boasts her cross of blood, F.ncrimsonM on h thousand plains, Yet freedom' cause she has withstood, And mark'd it with redeeraless stains. But thine, Columbia! thirie's the prie, To cheer the free, and guido the brave. To w;ive, through earth's remotest skies, And plant upon oppression's grave: Thine is the standard Freedom Wrought, To rear above the lion's form, Whose 11 ime their martyr'd father sought. To fhcer them through the tattle storm. T:z of the free still bear thy sway, Umlimm'd through ages ytt untold, O'er earth's proud realms thy star display, Like morning's radiant clouds unroll'd. Flag of the skies! still peerless shine, Throuerh earth' azure vault unfurl'd Till every hand and heart entwine, To sweep oppression from the world.

TIE SPT AND SPIRIT OF THE AGE. T1IIE unprecedented success of the SPY l there having been nearly seventeen hundred subscribers received since its commencement, in July last is the best evidence of tho estimation it has secured in the puhli. mind. While the present proprietors will pursue the courae which has conferred such eminent popularity on their predecessors, they will also ue every endeavor to give the SPY, if possible, a spirit of great vigour, variety, and originality, than has been heretofore achieved. This publication is intended as a satirical observer and corrector of the morals and manners of the day. -Satire is a most affective and powerful weapon in the hands of a judicious factician, and may be used on any occasion with advantage, but particularly upon the vices or follies of the community. The respectable responsibility assumed, is a sufficient guarantee for its utility and excellence ; and for the total expulsion" from it columns of that fcurrilify which blunls the edge of satire, and deprives it of its purifying eeency. Literature and the Drama will be sharers of its columns, and all that i9 servicea-

nle to the progress of useful information and moral improvement will receive its warm advocacy.
