This from Hardy.
Hardy not partial to
democratic ascendency.
By his hero, democratic
ascendency dissolved.
Monarchico-Aristocratical
reinstated.
Of the Dublin Convention, of
Delegates from the Associated
bodies, Charlemont
was President.
Parl. Reform proposed
[Leinster?] he procured
adjournment
For As to the proof Of these several propositions, it is drawn chiefly
from Hardy's Life of the Earl of Charlemont. B Thus A circumstance
by which it is that preserves it effectually preserved from the imputation or suspicion
of partiality on the side of democratic ascendency, is
that, by ill the account given of the matter by Mr
Hardy, his most intimate friend, in the putting dissolution of a period an card
put down to democratic ascendency and dissolved the restoration thus given
to Monarchico-Aristocratical ascendency, this head
of the Whig party in Ireland was the principal agent actor.
The Convention at Dublin was formed composed of Delegates, elected
by the several bodies of associated Volunteers in different
parts of the Country. Of this Convention Lord Charlemont was President. [When
they went upon] No sooner did they enter upon the subject
of Parliamentary Reform than he prevailed for the
adjournment of the meeting: after which; the Aristocratical Aristocracy
confederacy of the Country, having by means of the people effected their object — the
emancipating their power from that of the Great Britain,
the interest of which of the people was deserted and betrayed, and those
who continued to support it left to perish by the leather
or by the sword.

The Aristocracy having
by means of the people
obtained its own object
and that (frustrated)
which was so alike
to both, deserted them
of course when that
reform was proposed
of which the benefit
would have been de
reaped by the people many
at the expense of the
few.
The people got obtained relaxation from the restrictions that had
been imposed on their trade by English tyranny: for by that too
the benefit was shared in at least an equal degree by their these
aristocratical supporters. But, as to catholic liberation of degrading
exclusions on the score of religion, no: Charlemont was
averse to it.
