      reads to his wife , cultivates his garden , trains roses and honeysuckles , and writes long affectionate letters to his mother , as if there were no such things in the world as armies or governments , battles or revolutions ; and yet through all this interlude of domestic quiet and

      enjoyment , he was attentive to the duties of a senator and a patriot , and offering that constitutional resistance to oppression , the total inefficacy of which convinced his mind of the necessity of resorting to a differeut species of resistance , if the deliverance of his

      country was really to be accomplished . He joined the United Irishmen . He aided iu perfecting their organization . He became the military chieftain of three hundred thousand men ; that is to say , of the physical force of the Trish nation . And his prospects and those of Ireland rapidjy ripened for the treachery which his biographer long ago characterized with more than poetic bitterness :
