Stran 82 - Flag of the free heart's hope and home, By angel hands to valor given ! Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy hues were born in heaven. Forever float that standard sheet ! Where breathes the foe but falls before us, With Freedom's soil beneath our feet, And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us ? JOSEPH RODMAN DRAKE.

Of the men who represented, or rather misrepresented, this city and county in the late convention of this state, to whose wicked arts we may chiefly attribute the adoption of that abominable system, seven out of the nine were Lawyers.
Stran 105 - is one of our old Knickerbockers. His big, bushy head is as familiar as the City Hall. He belongs to the ' God bless you, my dear young friend
Stran 98 - I do not like politics any better than you do ; but they get only my mornings, and you know politics and a belly-full are better than poetry and starvation.
