the exhibition of his beautiful picture Of Ire.
! land. There has not been in Wilmington
for twenty years past, so brilliant, truthful.
interesting and artistic paintng on cXhi
bition as that presented to the public by Mr.
MacEyoy. The scenes and Incidents through
out are strikingly familiar to many an Irish
man and woman, who, having luit the land
of their birth and love long, long ago
yet cherish the remcmbranccs of thci earli
er days when they were wont to mugle Will
friends and companions upon the soil %
their dear native land the Green Isle O
Erin
The delineation of The principal objects q
historical, geographical and personal intcrcs
of ireland at this time invests it with ne
culiar attraction, while the accurate lcrtur,
by Mr.. Evoy-himself an lrishmau-i
replete with traditional and historic facts
adds thrill OF emotion in every lrishman'
breast, and causes him TO love more carnestl,
and intensely the oppressed and duwn.iroi
den land of his birth
Prof. MacEVoy deserves the thanks Of III,
people for the faithful manner in which h,
has put upon the canvass the bealtio-
the ancient glories, the tionn greatness
and also the mighty, and we hope The soon
| to-be-redressod wrongs of ilis once uro,
porous and happy people. With the svmpa
thies of free America and the persistence an,
courage of enslaYcd Ireland united. yh,
shall say that Erin's Isle may not, sooner o.
later, be enabled to grasp the friendly han,
of her sister Republic, The Land Of thc Wrsi
in cordial greeting of Fraternity and indie
pendencc? Every iceling of patriotism
every principle OF Liberty ard Justice 10
spends Godspeed TO the good work.
