May 14, 1861 – Show Your Colors, Gentlemen!

While nearly every one around is showing his attachment to the Union in one way or another, we regret to say that we have not had the pleasure of seeing the stars and stripes floating from the top of the building of the Adams Express Company, since the present troubles began, notwithstanding they have had a fine flagstaff there. We hope there are no secessionists in this company.

The National Republican, Washington, DC
