Wednesday
April 16th
The legislature met this morning and as there was no further business adjourned sine die. The Governor's Guard tendered their services to the Governor and were accepted amid hearty cheers. The Star Spangled Banner was then sung by the entire company. I shall copy it to preserve my remembrance of this day.
Star Spangled Banner
1. O say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
2. On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
