THE .BIRTHDAY  OF THE FJ__1G.--I20th
ANNIVERSARY 01- ITS ADOPTION.
Its History, Origin, and. Successive
, Changes
The Michigan Society, Sods of the
American Revolution, has requested
the -Mayors of tbe cities and towns
throughout the state to cull attention
by proclamation to the National Flag"
day, Monday, June 14th next, as a day
set apart by Congress for such observance, being the 120th anniversary of
the adontion of the stars and stripes
as tbe National banner of our country;
and asks for a general observance of
the day by unfurling to the breeze Old
Glory from all public buildings, pri-
yate residences, stores and other appropriate places.
The anniversary of so remarkable an
eyentas the advent of a new national
ensign, marking at once the establishment of anew nation and its standard, should not be passed as a matter
without significance. It is one of the
most remarkable events of modern
history, and the culmination of that
great Declaration of Independence,
July 4th, 3776. The Ensign authorized
by the Act of Congress. June 14th,
1777, was its sign manuel.
Sitting at Philadelphia one hundred
and twenty years ago, the Continental
Congress adopted the recommendation
of its Committee, and the Flag was
born; and today it is the oldest among
the flags of the nations. In June,
1777, a Committee of Congiess, with
General Washington as Chairman,
was instructed to design a suitable
flag for the united colonies. The design submitted by the Committee, as
prepared by General Washington, was
adopted by the Continental Congress
June 14th, 1777, when it was resolved
that the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; th it the union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation.
Betsy Ross, of Philadelphia, is said to
have made the first American Flag,*
according to the design adopted by
Congress. The stars ia the union of
this flag were placed in a circle. It
continued in use for eighteen years.
Early in 1794, in consequence of the
admission of Vermont, March 4th,
1791, and Kentucky, June 1st, 1792, an
Act was passed by Congress, declaring
'•That from and after the first day of
May, 1795, the Flag of the United
States be fifteen stripes, alternate red
and white, that the union be fifteen
stars,   white, in  a  blue field."   The
being found by the Confederates,
When the Federal, troops entered
Nashville, in February, 1862, he told
them the story of Old Glory, brought
it out and flung it to the breeze from
the top of the State House. This is
said to have been the origin of this
name,.
Our brave and hearty navigators
and discoverers have cairied it into
the Polar regions of both north and
south, and it was the first to oe planted on the Antartic Continent, while
in its northern advance it has been
well in the front. It has born the
brunt of battle, from Brandywine to
Appomattox upon the land, and has
floated triumphant over our Navy,
from Paul Jones down to the present
time.
"That flag withstood the "btittle's roar,
With foemen stout and foemen strong,
Strong hands havo sought that flag to lower,
A.nd found a speedy watery grave.
That flag is known on every shore
Thestandard of a gallant band;
Alike sustained in peace, or war,
It floats o'er freedom's happy land,"

compelled a change in the flag, and
Congress appointed a Committee to
inquire into the expediency* of again
altering it. A bill .was reported January 2nd, 1817, but was not acted on.
Some time afterwards, Captain Samuel Reid, of Stonington, Conn., famous for the defense of tbe Privateer,
"General Armstrong," at Fayal, suggested that the number of the stripes
be reduced to thirteen and the stars
increased to the number of the states
in the Union, the whole number of the
stars to be formed into one large star
in a union. Tbe suggestion was acted
upon, and Congress passed, April 4tb,
1818, "An Act to establish the Flag of
the United States." The first section
provided that from and after the 4th
day of July next, the flag of the United
States be.thirteen horh-ontal stripes,
alternate red and white; that the
union have twentv stars, white in a
blue field; while the second section
provided that on the admission of
every new state' in the Union, one
star be added to the union of the flag,
and that such addition shall take effect on the fourth day of July Dext,
succeeding such admission. There
are now forty-five stars in the union.
