"When the standard of the Union is raised and waves over my head-the standard which Washington planted on the ramparts of the Constitution, God forbid that I should inquire whom the people have commissioned to unfurl it, and bear it up; I only ask in what manner, as an humble individual, I can best discharge my duty in defending it." DANIEL WEBSTER. "There are two things holy,—the flag which represents military honor, and the law which represents the national right." VICTOR HUGO. ། |
