HE 4th July, 1776 is a memor able date in American history. T On that day Congress voted for a resolution adopting a great Charter of Liberty-the Declaration of Independence.

Of the original fifty-six signatories to the Declaration who, by setting in motion the events of that historic year 1776, helped to make the American Constitution a splendid reality, at least eight were definitely Irish by birth or descent. Four others are claimed by some authori ties as of Irish ancestry. This hardly merits wonder, as the link between Ireland and the New World is well forged and of long standing. That Irishmen under t.
