[Let us come back back to particulars to Ireland.]
First then as to the existence of democratic ascendency. Let us behold
the existence of it, putting laying aside for brevity sake, as far as
is consistent with clearness of conception, the consideration of
the state of things that led to it.

the greater part as for might appears the whole of that
time, was in a state of utter defencelessness, alarmed existing under

enemy, and not having for its defence against the enemy
and its eventual protection against these its armed citizens
men those from 5,000 men invalids included.

adverse to and alarmed horrified by the force and attitude of these the
uncommpliant subjects citizens in a collective sense and independent subjects.
