Tie protracted strujIe Tor independence
of America and its hUcceSsfpKtohlcvement
reav.al:ened the hopes of Irish iKitriotliiri..
The land became fired afresh v.'itli the
genlusof liberty. A noble occasion offered
in which to organize and arm a military
force in Ireland v. hen the American Avar
closed and the combined flctfc or Franca
and Spain were liding triumphant in the
Irish Channel. & formidable invasion was
threatened, and at that tune the island
was almost wholly destitute of Coast de
fense. The danger aroused the kingdom,
as her people were told bv the British min
istry that "they must dfenl the-iiselves."
The result was that more than lou.OOO
men 'dmost instantly. sprang intoan..s, uni
formed, well-equipped and officered. Aftet
this event There was a rapid increase of
prosperity in the country. The concessions
had been wrung from the British Cabinet
under ipeat stress and as a conK-quencs
maligna ntenmity soon began to develop the
desire to destroy Irejand's hopeful progress.
A non-Catholic Irish clergyman, Rev. James
Gordon, at t!p tiogimiliig of this century,
wroteof the feeling among Irishmen at tubs
time He said: "A diffusion of liberal
sentiment and a unity of Interests
had contused men of all ranks
and persuasion! in the common raus..
Ti:e unhallowed monster ot religion
bigotry could no longer be introduced :v
the government to foment prejudice and
sot baleful division; all was concord and
uaniniiiy. But tlu object of creating
dVseiislon and annulling the benefits .b
tiiiird v.'as never lost sight df by the
London ministry .' Ireland's happy
stht. continued, ho ver, without inter
rupliou until th? disbandmcnt of tUv
cluuieers, Mid ot'rr schemes were prac
tleert to dissipate the prevailing united
sentiment of the Irish people. British
biibery and corruption were mediums,
and its Parliament, in 178-1, uncruiM
Iously annihilated Irish legislative in
dependence and impoivd new restrictions
on tile trade and commerce of Ireland.
Tli-jse treacherous proceedings excited
general indignation in the land- and its
spirited people now turned their minds
to a wider sphere of political liberty.
It must not bo forgotten that the Catholics
were slill under the ban or the penal laws
of Biitalu, and although they numbered
two-thirds of the population of the nation,
were divested of political lights. Again,
to quote Rev. Mr. Gordon, who said:
"For the removal of thesu odious re
strictions and disqualifications, by which
the Roman Catholics were deprived of
what was accounted their due share of
political power, vigorous erfoits wore
rr.ode and various engines put In motion.'
The. Duke of Leicester headed, and many
distinguished Irish Protestant gentlemen
Joined "The Association or the Fiiends of
the Constitution, Liberty and Peace." Bus
ttc mills of the Iiish ministry weie still
gilnding Iieland, and the lesult was the
formation of the great organization, "The
United Iiishmen," which bad its inception
In Beirsst, with projects of revolution ind
putting the country under afiee and inde
pendent lepubllcanformoferovernment. The
purest and moRtdisinterested love of liberty
was cherished in thatgoodold northern ity.
lielauiVs great national poet, Thomas;
Davis, sang of. it:
"The Ni ith began, the North held on,
The stilfe for native land
Till li eland lose and cowed her foes,
God bless the Northern land I"
Her citizens of different denominations
felt, outraged ht the disabilities entailed
or- theii Catholic fellow-countrymen.
During November, 175)1. the society was
instituted In TV-Min, with the ImmeJiate
view of cojiibfin'ng'Into one polillcal pha
lans: as many a,s possible of the me'nb.'rs'
rellow-couiitrynieu and Avithotit any sec
tional distinction whatever.
The United Irishmen Clubs throughout
the nation were path bound. In the report
or the secret committee of the House or
Commons, whlcl&ubequently investigated
the regujat a lsund methodsof tuiu formida
ble patriot.; oiga nidation, the followii
1 umane and bioad declaration was quoed
from its constitution, viz: that "for the
purpose ot forwarding, a. brotheihcod or
affection, communion or rights and r
unioE of power aniting Irishmen of every
religious persuafion, and thereby to ob
tain a comply, reform In. the legislature,
founded on lie principles of civil, political
and religious! Iberty," tile Societyof Uui'ed
Insl men was established.
Parliamentary reform and Catholic ?man
citallou wce Strongly avowed objects of
til. United Men; but later -that is, in 17'Jl!,
a military fore.? was in contemplation to
b.j named the National Guards, and iiio.i ;y
was readily laised by subscription, begin
ning in Dublin, to embody and arm such a
rorce, with a uniform distinguished with
green, which was aduplcd as the na'Joial
color; buttons embellished with the 'irino
rial harp divested of the crown, which
wculf appear to-indlcaic that It was tie
purpose to abolish monarchv in Ireland. -A
da" foi the. general muster of these
guards was appointed, It being December '.).
1702. Tor the time balng, while prepara
tions were going on, the vice regal goswu
inent ((emeu paralyzed, and the nation
looked oil vItli lilted breath. The cut of
a die would detcimiue whether the watch
word was to be "Bevolntiou" or "Treason."
But tht British government sprang up and
the lord lieutenant at Dublin issued n
peremptory proclamation, on December ri,
Interdicting ''all seditious nst-emblfcs" and
commanding the- magistrates to suppriis
them by military force. The National
Guard deferred Hip proposed muster, but
theleailoreof the patriots issued, on Decem
ber 14, a counter manifesto, exhorting the
volunteers "'to resume their arms :or the
maintenance of tranquillity throughout the
kingdom or Ir-Itud against foreign and
internal enemies, and advising the Protesr
ant to choose deputies for provincial as
semblies, preparatory to a general conveu
tion, which they' declared necessary in
i idci to ferin a Cfmtinuii cause with thatof
the diefrnnchixc'liRoman Catholics."
This maiiifeito caused many of the con
spiring patriots, some of whom wvrc mea
of the. rirs' ranltand fortune, to be scizel
and imprisoned. 'Anion:; tliem Hamilton

TUB PLUTOCJIATS OF IRELAND

OR-
To oppose all this tendency to justice
und G,d-givcn freedom the arlstocrcj of
Ireland proceeded to array an army or th-jir
own. and they urganiztd societies, then
and ulr-rwnrdt-3 be known as he Orange
men, formed to perpetuate tho oppressions
of the British government, and who
openly avowed their purpose "to shed
the last drop vr their blood before any
conce.'sions should be made to the Cath
olics" or their advocates. it was even
represented that they had Altered intoa
solemn league and covenant to destroy
the Catholics and had nwor;i to v.ade up
bi their knees in Popish blood.''
II is not a Catholic authority now which
tli2 writer quotes.
Gieat calamities Itav afflicted tmfor
tunats Ireland since bloody-minded land
lordlsm inttiatjd this principle of re
ligious hate in organised bands, and set
in frenicd feuds against one another two
classes of Irishmen who otherwise love
their native land as intensely as any peo
ple on earth cherish theirs. The Orange
party were "nder M:ch honible influences
that i: openly declared that Ireland would
never be at rest "until te Roman Cath
ollcs were completely exterminate!."
Thousjuds of the unarmed Catholic peas
antry lived in fearof n, reign of terror and
constantly pictured to themselves their
general massacre on some given day or
night. Added cruelty and oppression drove
tliem into secret bands throughout the
country a a incasureof self-defense These
must have been something like the Minute
Men of the American colonies anterior to
the war for national independence. The
Irish Toi government resisted all Catholic
cla!ms, and resisted by such odious methods
that their measures brought the uffairs of
Ireland tc a speedy crisis and to that
blood j civil war ,f '08, which ravaged and
desolated her In the greatest ruin. Lord
Castlereagh, for .-whom Ireland's noble
friend, the hero poet. Lord Byron, could
scarcely Und- invective bitter or scornful
enough for the part he played against
her, was having matters shaped exactly as
he wanted theiri to' effect his design In
abolishing the laso remnants of Irish
legislat-ve rule. In lils remorseless plotting
ho was not wanting in the stipng backing
of Minister WIlliHiii Pitt. They were hand-in-hand.
plajmg for the total abolition or
Ireland's home rule and the manacling of
that nation to Britain throusrh the act of
union, which was consummated in 1800.
Devoted patriot Irishmen like Lord
Edward Fitzgerald", who bad been an offi
cer in the army, and was a member t
the Irish Parliament; "Wolfe Tone, who
subsequently held a- commission as lie l
tenant general in the French army;
Roger O'Connor, John and Henry
Shears, Gen. Ungual LJarvej;, Dr. "W. j".
McN'evln, Oliver Bond, Thomas Addis
Emmet, Arthur O'Connor, J. E. Dcvereux,
Simon BuUci. Edward Byrne and many
other able and popular Irish leaders saw
dearly thronghtl.eintentionsof theBritish
cabinet which had a strong forceof allies
In the Irish Parliament. Troops were be
infj poured -into' the country, and the
Orange yeomen were at their (ruel work
of persecution. The Directory of theUnitcd
Irishmen, established at Dublin, issued
addressee. Ono said: "Be firm, Irishmen,
but be cool ami cautious; be patient yet
a while. v Ay;nh and again we Warn
you against doing the .work of your ty
rants, by premature, by partial or divided
exertion." In the meantime tt.e floating
corps of Royalist troopers and infantry sys
tematically fleeced and pillaged from th-2
people. Everything was made a pretext
for plunder. A Protestant eyewitness of
many of these depredations published a
work in 1S0J3. Spcaklu;; of theconserva-
liyisni ofttoeCatuoliclrisli, hesays: "They
stiugglrd under a Charles the First, and
were plundered: they struggled for roy
alty against the English rebellion, and
they were plundered, they fought for Jnnies
II (but vl ore memory now goes by an un
clean epithet), and were plundered," and
all these robberies were legalised in Eng
land's Pnrliauici'taud by monarchy's edicts.
But while there was marauding by the
enemy the patriots begin to take action.
Sometlm in March, 1703, 800 men, m mut
ed, entered the town of Calvin, county
Tipperary, and held It during the day un
til they collected all the arms nnd ammuni
tion. Other Insurgent forces In the coun
try retaliated on the "yeos."
All 1 1 eland was put under martial law
wltli free quarteis for the militiry In all
paits or the kingdom- The Tory Soldl-irs
became mi'Steis of every household entered
and the owners were compelled to supply
their every demand which Eavi.gc (lis
positions prompted. Shocking scenes were
exhibited. The "Looty and beauty" mer
cenaries that met such a suitable fate sub
sequently at New Orleans were in evidence
and perpetrated horrid acts not recordable
in a public pilnt. People were scourged,
bomeplticed on pickets, houses were burned
and furniture taken into streets and made
into fuel to warm the sentinels. Vast
quantities, of piovisions an J ern were Con
sumed by fire, resulting in sub5cquent
famine for tens of thousands of the 'oiuinou
people. Men ueic Imprisoned on the slight
est suspicion oi on the Information falsely
given byar. unscrupulous enemy; sometimes
almost strangled to death or from time 1 1
time half hanged for the purpose of ex
tolling confessions as to tlw secrets of
the Unlfd Iiihmen or ths hiding place of
arms, row del 'and ball. To wear the hair
short made ore a "croppy." or a little
green in one'.s uppurel was all snfflci sut
for the -vengene? of the red coat. At the
guaidhouse the short-hnlied person had a
cap besmeared with hot pitch piesseddown
on his head and was turned out amid the
jeers of the toiiurers. Sometimes the -sight
of the victim was destroyed by the melted
pitch getting into the eyes, and these
atrocities were gloated over by yells that
might )ia,ve issajd from a baud of Comanche
Indiaus. No officer or magistrate ever in
teifered in these atiocitics. People's eara
were mutilated or cut off altogether and
silts made in the nosea of suppoicd rebels
The government instructed ail magistrates
end offlceis to Keep the fames of informers
profoundly secret, and thus afforded scope
for every form of eruelty tj gratify personal
malice.
In March, '98, Lord Edward Fitzgerald
was seized in the house of Nichv.las Mur
phy, in Uur.lin. He made desperate resist
aneev. itha ('.aer- He wounded Magis
trate Swan, Ma (or Sirr, Ca tit. Ryan and two
of hiss ,'diers, the la tter three dying o f their
wounds- Lord Edward died early the fol
lowing month on account of a pistol shct
wound rt-cehed in the encounter. John md
Heiirv Shears wet, arrtsted in May, tried
July 12 and executed on the 1 1th.
The i irertory had ordered the simultan
eous attacks of lite insurgents to occ ir on
the nigh of May 2.'. Lacglihist'jwn and
the artillerj at Chapellzod, ncir Dublin,
were to be aj-ickcd. Thou the castle an i
other part of the metropolis In which the
forces or the counties of Wirklow, Dublin
and -KEdai" should take action. The go.
crnn.ent dlspos-edof 117,000 troops-on the
2lst and 22d of May. In the county he
insurgents assembled in many places, and
during night and day skirmish w.re
fought at the towns of Naas, Claine, Prjs
perous, Hall "-More, Eustace and Kqcullej.
The daj following Carlow. IIackst.ston
and Monastereven wereattackeJ. .Fighting
took place at Tallagh, Lucan. Tuk, I'nii
boyne, Barretstown, Collin and Baltinglas.
In all these actions the United Irish v.ere
victorious., except the a ttaok on Prosperous.
At Dtmlsoyne, elfiht miles from Dublin, the
regiment of Ueny Fencibi.s escorted rhe
baggage of the KIuk's troop, which was
seized by the Irish, and a similar fate befill
the Sufffollc rencihlesat Barretstown. A
forceof the United Armi- wis attacked on
May 21 at Stratford, on the Slavey
River, by the British and the Irish de
featPd, with a Mauchtenor 300, the Bn'ish
losing short or200.
At a subsequent attaokon Pro-perous the
garrison was surprised and captured; tile
barracks were fired, and the Cork mibtia.
an Orange organization, with its comman
der, perished in the flames. Twenty-eight
ot a Welch avalry regiment were killed.
AtNaas the British were to i many, and the
Irish were repulsed- Several officers and
men of the former were slain; 200 of the
latter were slab: in the streets, and in the
cavalry pursuit of thpui a greater number
were slaughtered in the roads and fields.
At Kilcullen, the inefficiency of the British
cavalry against the embattled Irisn plk2
men was cleurly shown- "War now began to
rape thi-rugb the blighted land. The brave
Irishmen, whose firearms had bepn seized
by the enemy at previous times, had to
rely chiefly en the pike. The patriots were
repulsed at Carlon- Nirmlvrs took refuge m
houses when intercepted. The hoti-es were
fired to the number of eighty, and for days'
the bodies of the unlucky patriots wen; fall
ing diwn the chimney; wherein they had
been roasted to death. Then there folio -'.vd

The Insurgents attacked Einiccrthj most
dcterminedlyand with considerable display
of strategy. Four hours of bloody battle
raged with fluctuating fury. At last a
force of United Irish, plunged through the
river up to their necks at TempleMianon
end of town, and made such a tremendous
dash that the late of the day was decided,
their imt etuoslty and intrepidity hurling
the royalists toward "Wexford in precipi
tate retreat. Their losces were, in casu
alties, perhaps near 2,0 00. Next tlw
King's army was defeated at Three Hocks,
and "Wexford was surrendered to the pa

also several thousand under Gen. Walpole.
Both armies moved agiinst eacn other and

Sixteen leading Irish chiefs were killed in

The arrival of Lord Cornwallis to com

was very unsatisfactory to tne Orange
party. An authority says: "Tlie small
