The result was inevitable. Housed, on their own historic land, in a State which was no State at all because it was not of their own devising, the Irish people have repudiated all res... ponsibility for it, have misused and abused it, and have arisen in a. Continual series of revolts against it. They were morally bound to do so, or become no more a nation but a slave race.
