It was followed by years of strife and dissension--by centuries of tyrannical misrule on the one hand, and resistance to wrong on the other. Time did not change the character of the Irish peasantry; they were no loyal subjects of their new masters, --neither did they remit their efforts to regain their independence. Among other expedients resorted to by the English government, for confirming their ascendency, ...
