      Greenhalgh , "That F . O'Connor is deserving the support of every lov « r of his country , and that we will support him to the utmost of our power in removing every abuse either from Church or State , as we could not hive a stronger proof of his bonegt \ than to se « him denounced bj ^ the traitor Daniel O'Connell . " 3 . Moved b y Mr . Rooert Kay , seconded by Mr . Denni * Howarth , "That although Mr .

      STBRRPIBX . D , suP . POIK . PROGRESS OF THE CAUSE . Gentlemen , —1 avail myself of this opportunity to give you an account of our proctedings on this side of the kingdom , in the cause of freedom . "We have hitherto had the cognomen of wily Suffolk applied to us , but the labouring population are determined to wipe away this stain from their character . They first began meeting together to discuss the propriety of petitioning lor the repeal of the Poor Laws ,-, when a Radical friend , hearing of their meeting , attended , and dissuaded them from thrir object , and from that time they formed themselves into _ reading societies . Your Northern Star is highly praised by them . Their progress in politicji , in so short a time , is incredible ; they have applied their whole mind

      to get knowledge . A few waeks ago , they sent for a deputation from the Ipswich Working Men ' s Association , when four of them came down and addressed them , after which an Association was formed in the village of Friston and has since been steadily progressing . These poor men are braving all the threats and entreaties held out against them not to go by the jmrse-prdud priests and Aristocracy . Gentlemen , I , in common with other Radicals , felt glad at the manner in which the dispute between Mr . O'Connor and the Birmingham Council was settled ; but , Gentlemen , I will conclude my epistle by praying that that God which ruleth in the armies of heaven , and amongst the inhabitants of the earth , will direct the councils of our leadets , so that we may eventually triumph . " - Yours fraternally ,

      THOMAS HEARN . KEw-Miioirs . Radicai As .- ociation . —At a very full meeting of the ?» ewmilns and Greenholm Radical Association , the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : — . 1 . That it is the opinion of this ineeHng that it is highly improper , aid calculated only to raise contention among Radicals , for either individuals or particular associations to lay down specific nlans . or

      dictate certain measures * for conducting the g-neral movement for Universal Suffrage , which ought to be left entirely to the management of the appfoachiijg Convention , whose directions the People , to have any chance of success , must implicitly obey . 2 . That it is the duty of every Radical Association to extend the movement to the greatest possible extent , pushing it to the most exrrenie pdintu , aud to the most remote places of the laud , raiiiug as mach money a ? possible , to be applied to the geLeral purposes of the movement . , :

      3 . That Hak meeting entirely disapprove of the delegate meeting called in Edinburgh b > Messrs . Frazer and Duncan , as being an interference quite uncalled for , and more likely to create dikeiition than promote the interests of the cause . ' 4 . That this meeting view with sorrow and disgust the speeches made by-Messrs . Salt and Mnntz , of the Birmingham Council , recommending a union with the base traitor-O'Connell : this man ' s career is so horrible and . so well depicted in the papers that we will not meddle with it farther than to ask Messrs . Salt and Muntz if the Irish peasantry ' s pennies and potatoes are all exhausted , and if th ey wish to palm him upon the English gniel and Scottish brose ? Alas J alas ! alas ! forMesscs . Salt and Muntz ; we thought you clever men and true palriots , but what to think of you now we really do not know .

      ODD FELLOWS' HALL . TO THB EDITORS OP THB KOBTHKBH STAR . Gemtlembh , —A most calnmnious paragraph having appeared in , last week ' s Star , ' without the lean fobsdation in kn& , reflecting on , and imputing unworthy motives to , the Commiaee of the Bradford Odd Fellows' Hall , utterly at variance with their past conduct , and directly contrary to tie principle * by which thej have hitherto been guided , 1 trost-thaft yon will be « o Irind as give as extensiTe contradiction to the game a * hat been given to the original onfoundod statement .

      Pasfing over the Aristocratic pride , and the head ihat wonld « wng tbe infant liberty in our good town of Bradford , as words « f atrful snmd , hut very little applicable in this case , it appears , from your corretpondent * statement , that a deputation called at tbe Hall , for the purpose of engaging the large room wherein to hold a public meeting and dinner on the fourteenth day of January next . No answer being given at the time , they again called on Tuesday the eleventh inst , when , if your correspondent had given you die true fact ? of the case , he would have informed yon that the landlord , ( who has a free claim OB the room for such public dinners , 2 pc , u he maj engage to supply , ) for reasons best known to / him * elf , declined the terms proposed by the

      ieputatioB . Hot satisfied with this , the deputation proceeded to the persons appointed to let the room , who , from an unrbonded rnmour that the magistrates had threatened to suspend the license , declined engaaing frith the deputation until they had laid the caw ttefore the committee . That this report has been originated , the committee as deeply deplore as any par ty , that some petty officials nnder the magistral&j bxn beea bosy , ? yonr correspondent admits , that ¦ with some exertion he has succeeded in proving even J p lo | f ^ itaaju&etioiu ^ Wfcy * fe « o cfcarg * oem-MdtiM 1 whea > ro « ntirerjr SgooraBt af fise % ota ^ acd of whi ^ the paragraph in the Star was the means of giving thett . tbe 'Qxst indmatioQ . Yoor corre *

      pondenf « - ramdnsions respeeting the - committee being of aHndred calibre with the petty official * , and . of their determination to- exclude -all whose © pinions do sot exactly square with their own , as well as the imnsnation aboot the landlord Bot being able to pay an exorbitant rent , is altogether just ax true as that tie Radicals are treating for another place , which I presume you will not be able to notice next Saturday , as Ihe deputation again waited on the proper parson * last . Wednesday evening , according to the appointment previously made by the parties , and have , I believe , made the preliminaryarrangetnentJ with , them , and also with the landlord for the dinner .

      So far from & «~ committee wishing to exclude any party finite toeing the room , the only test is that the parties giM security , * nd be responsible , for any damage that may arise while occupied by them , so that you may , Gentlemen , still hail with delight the erection of the only building in the town " of ^ Bradford ,, that is pro imopublico—o ^ a to all and infiseaeed bj none . .
