Democratic ascendency
the Volunteers system —
its denominations

Of In the case of Ireland the state of things here designated by the appellation of
democratic ascendency. in the case of Ireland had for its
cause the system which may be termed has been designated by the various appellations of Irish Volunteer
Association, Irish Association, the Volunteer Association the
Volunteer system: and perhaps some others: meaning, in every case the system carried into effect by a
body of men in Ireland, distinguished designated by the appellations

Its characteristics
1. Members unauthorised
2. in regular bodies
self-formed
3. In arms self-trained
individually and collectively
4. Furnished with arms
even with cannon.
5. By Town or other
local bodies, Provinces
and National constituted
by Delegation
6. Of each Member the
Electors were all the
rest. Per universal
suffrage, all have a
right to vote, all do
not exercise it.

Its under In the formation of its character nature/this system the
as following circumstances combined may be seen united.
1. The Members, for what they did had no authority
from government
2. They were self formed into regular bodies
3. They were train self-trained to the use of arms,
individually and collectively.
4. They were provided with arms of all sorts: in
some places even with cannon.|| ||
5. The b aggregate body was constituted by and
composed of a number of smaller bodies self-formed in
all over the Kingdom: the aggregate or national body of provincial
bodies: each provincial body, of local bodies, occasionally
assembled in various towns or neighbourhood.
6. In each town or other such place neighbourhood the members of the several
bodies met together by voluntary agreement in such
sort that each one of them had for his Electors all the others.
This, we see, it may be seen so far as it went, was universal suffrage. So
far as it went: and in the case of parliamentary election by universal
suffrage, it is not that on any occasion, all every one who had the
right
right would without
exception exercise that
right, but that all
every one without exception
would be free
to exercise it.
