Daniel O'Connell and the revival of national life in Ireland . ation, they threwthemselves with an ardour and enthusiasm into thatof Repeal which threatened to carry all before it.Never had such success attended any effort of jour-nalism as that which fell to the lot of the Nation.Well written, well edited, well printed, it couldhardly be produced in quantities sufficient to meetthe demand for it. It was devoured, not read. Theimpetus the movement gave to Repeal, thoughhardly so great as they fancied, was unmistakable.Under its influence the hitherto unadorned cards ofmembership blossomed out into emblematic pictures, recalling the main incidents of Irish history, orna-mented with the portraits of heroes who wouldhardly have recognised themselves in the atmos-phere of idealism through which they were viewed.Dathi, and Brian Boroimhe, Ollamh Fodhla, andAodh ONeill were dragged out of their obscurity, cleansed from the accretion of Saxon aspersion thathad gathered round them, and re-established on theirpedestals of fame.

They despised his methods of agitationas vulgar, and directed to merely material ends.They spoke slightingly of men nurtured in thefeminine contests of the Bar. They hated thecrooked and often dirty bypaths of political in-trigue. They loathed the parasites that battened onthe Rent. They argued that passion and imagina-tion had won victories which reason and self-interestwould have attempted in vain. The poets pen, thesoldiers sword, these were their weapons :
