LEcruRR,-John o'Byrne, Esq, delivered q high
iy Interesting lecture on Ireland In the Institute
Hall, last Tuesday evening, under tho auspices Of
| small audience, not over u hundred persons being
present. This Is another illustration Of the old
| adage that a 'pr0phst hath no honor In his own
land" According to the lecturer the original Irish
wera noted for the cultivation of the arts OF peace
and schoiarship, and 1t was only through the inya-
| sion Of the S0rmans that they were eventually
forced to become warlike peoplJ. The lecturer
proposes on soma future occasion to enlarge more
fully ON the Irish race, one evening not being sum
cient to do the subject Justice. The Irish truly
| wonderful race, and the orator OByrne Ia capable
II doing them full justice.
For the Delaware Republican.
| The editor oil the Commercial does not fail
to take advantage of every opportunity Of mis-.
| representing and doing injustice to Major Lof-
land. Not long since Mr. Lofand was repre-
| sented by the Commercial as absent at Milford
| to avoid vote on the financial question, when
The fact was that he was attending court al
| Georgetown, in a case where he was counsel,
and 10 vote had been taken by the House on
the question, and has not up to the present time.
The other day he was represented as an expan-
| sionst by the editor Of the Commercial when
no vote had been taken by which his position
| could be determined, and on Tuesday last the
| editor again states that Mr.. Eldrdge and Mr..
Lotand were appointed q sub committee TO
hear Statements in reference to the temperance
question Ia the District of Columbia, and in
| forms the public that Mr.. Loland held the al
titude on the occasion of a silent listener.
All this is given 10 the public with the pur-
pose OF harlDng Mr.. Lofand aud in each in
stance referred to he was misrepresented. He
/ is not dodger, nor an expansionist on the cur
| rency question, although he concluded 10 vote
| for the Senate bill in Difference to the wishes
of .he farmers and III ,uufacturers of Delaware
who feel that more money is needed and in
view of the fact that the business interests re-
quired an early settlement of the question as well
that the bill itself made but small increase oil
| the volume of currency now in existence.
| Nor in the discharge OF his duties is he q
| stupid performer, but a brave, fearless, con
| scientous member of Congress. MIR. Lofand
| is all industrious working member, clear headed
aud popular, and few new members are acquir
ing by attention to their duties, and affible mar
| ners more influence in the House than he ia
He is not taking, clustering man, but he al
lows no question of any Importance. - pass
without his careful examination aud an intel
ligent vote.
And we inform the editor of the Commercial
that Major l.ofand is well known To the peopl
of Delaware; That lie was born aud raised II
the town where lie now lives, and where his
ancestors, an old all honored family OF Della
ware lived for many generations, that he is de
servedly one OF the most popular men in tn
State, aud where he is best known is most lik
ed, that he contributed largely to win spiei
aid victory for the Republican party at the las
election in this State, as will be seen by a care
full comparison OF the VOTE, and that it woul
not do the editor of the Commercial any harr
to follow the paths OF tIutn aud fairness. NJ.
