It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; arid more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the publio health .

should feel it his bounden duty to make public restitution to them before he would boast of having availed himself of the benefit of a jubilee —( hea ' , hear . ) Of ¦ what use was this boast ? what good did it do ? Surely men of true piety shrunk for very shame when tbeyTead it For his part he could not help thinking of the Pharisee and the Publican , when he read it in the newspapers . The Lord Mayor has said « ver and over again , that our Association is unlawful , aud when the Whigs ( his friends ) were iu power he was not ashamed to point out the Association and its most active members to the tender mercies of the Whig Attorney General—( hear , hear ) . At another time he described us as a set of Orangemen , and again as Ribbostnen , and thus
creating prejudice against us upon all sides . Well , here we are , after all , hearty and merry , our numbers increasing everyday ; the people learning who and whut we are , and what our views , objects , and institutions are , which Bhows that tha hand of Divine Providence ig always with those who have truth and justice on their side ; and the name and proceedings of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association and its services to the country will bs recorded in history , and revered by the people , when the real character of the betrayer and destroyer of the forty shilling freeholders , and the supporter of the base , bloody , and brutal authors of the Coercion Act , and the Poor Laws Amendment Act , will be remembered only to be abhorred and detested .
Mr . O'Higgias said he had the pleasure of proposing two friends of his for admission , Messrs . Ford and Leeson . And as he saw several strangers in the room he would take that opportunity of explaining the object ? , views , and intentions of the association—( hear , hear ) . Bafore he would do so he begsed leave to state , for the eatUfaction of the society , that during his absence for the last fortnight , he had visited sevtral parts of the country where Chartism wr . 3 as well understood as it was in that roomhear , hear )—while in othe ? places prejudice prevailed against it to such an extent , that , bad as the times are , he verily believed that people would have paid tixpenco to see what sort of an animal a Chartist was —( hear , hear ? . It is , no doubt , in the recollection of most of
those present , that Mr . O'Connell had some time ago civen a very ludicrous description of the colour of a Chartist ' s face , and of the length of his ears , and the danger of coming in contact with him . The Repeal Wardens , or more properly speaking the collectors of money , under the pretence of applying it to Repeal the Union , but for the real purpose of maintaining a staff of hungry place-hunters at the Corn Exchange , who have no visible or known mode of living than that of professing patriotism for a farthing a week , receive their weekly instructions from dear Ray" to ba on their guard lest Chartism should rear its hideous head within the precincts of their respective jurisdictions . Sn much had been said and sung against tho Irish Universal Suffrage Association , and asrainat its
president more especially , that when it became kuown in a certain town , not quite fifty miles from Dublin , that he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) was at the hotel there , several pereor . 3 solicited it . is a special favour to be permitted to see what sort of an atiimal he ( Mr . O'Higgins )¦'¦ was . ( Laughter . ) Finding that he was not half so black or so ugly , as he was painted ; thoy ventured to ask him some questions about the Association ; and , on hea . iing the principles explained , and reading that admirable little publication , " What is a Chartist ?" they very naturally asked him why it was Mr . O'Connell was so much opposed to that which appeared to them to be so good ? To this question he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) could give no other answer tban this , that when the Whig 3 were in power , Mr . O'Connell lost
his election for the city of Dublin , because uo would not give a pledge in writing , " that he would support no administration but one that would give its-t-iScial advocacy to Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Electoral Districts , the abolition of the Property Qaaliflcation , and tha right of the electors to pay th « ir representives . " He refused to give this pledge , and lost Dublin by the refusal . Stveral aaked why he would refuse that ? " was it not the real thing ? Sure every nonest man must be for . that" He refused it , because the Whigs , who gave good fat places to bis sons-in-law , and his son and his nephews were against it ; and he could not . well go against those who had done so . much for him and his . A t this stage of the conversation , a Repeal Warden of the name of Smith came forward , and said it was all false . But although he was a townsman , truth > b
so powerful that his own neighbours turned upon him , and told him he waa a deceiver and a cheat , that ba promised tho Repeal last year , if they would but pay a shilling each . They paid the money ; but the Repeal is not a bit further forward . "To get the right to vote first is the real thing—we are all for that ; and with the blessing of God , we will join you . " The next day , seme of the rules and objects of our association were taken to the parish priest , who at once and unhesitatingly declared his approval of them—( hear , hear , ivnd gTeat cheering . ) Mr . O'Higg ' ms thtn entered upon an explanation of the principles of Chartism , and the great and-ftst benefits which the adoption of those principles would confer upon the wholo empire , but particulary upon Ireland . Mr . O HigginB resumed his seat amidst great cheering . Mr . Clark seconded the motion .
Mr . O'Higgins again rose , and said it seldom became his lot to have to discharge such an agreeable duty as he then had—( hear ; . A gentleman who sat beside him whom he knew to be highly educated , of a most respectable family , and of purely , conservative principles , when he entered that room , and besides a freeman of the City of Dublin , had just done him ( Mr . O'H . ) the honour of announcing that he had become a convert to their enlightened principles—( great cheering ) and requested him ( Mr . O'H . ) " to propose him for admission as a number of their association —( hear ,-bear ; . He ( Mr . O'Hiugins ) had great pleasure in moving that Mr . Fowler be admitted a member of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . Mr . Martin seconded the motion .
Mr . Fowler roso and said that he had been reared in Conservative principles , in which he had continued until he became acquainted with their high-minded and manly President , Mr . O'Higgins —( chetrs . ) He had often heard Mr . O'Higgins defeat his opponents in private society , and seeing that he was by far an overmatch in political discussions for men of very high standing , ke began to think that the principles which gave Mr . 0 Higgins so much power over his opponents must he right and jast ; and he ( Mr . Fowler ) had come to thtir meeting to hear whether Mr . O'Higgins would advocate ihe same views there amongst his associates r . s he did iu private society , and finding that he
was consistent , straightforward , and independent in politics , and that thtre was nothing of a bigoted or sectirian character about their Association , he made up his mind to join them , aud to support them in every way in his power , although he never joined any political Society before—( hear , hear . ) Before he sat (" . own , he c . efcined it right to tay that upon a former occasion , when he inquired which was the proper entrance to their meeting , he was told by a man of tho name of Kielly in the neighbjtirhc-od , not to go in—that you were all OrangewK-n —( "Hear , hear , " and " Shame , sLauie ; " ' Mr . OiiieJiy would be glad to sell au Orangeman ' s better . ")
Mr . O'Higginsxaid that he was requested by their secretary , Mr . Djo . lt , who was unavoidably absent , to solicit ths meeting to postpone the motion of which he had given notice for that day , till rest Sunday , and moved the adoption of the following resolution , which had f-. en agreed to hy the committee and published in the Weekly Freeman ' s Journal , and which it was their wish to have published in the Northern Star : They , in common with all tiie true Chartists of the empire , were ( ieej . ly indebted to tLa Editor of the Northern Star , for the kind and polite att ntion which he at ; ill times , a : ul very often at great personal inconvenience and trouble , ha'i paid tj their communication ( Hear , hear . )
The Irish cath > Uc clergy have , wherever the Star has been circulated during the la * t year , expressed their gratitude for the enlightened defence of their character , principles , and genoral conduct , which appeared in that paper . He . Mr . O Higgins , sh' -uld take an early opportunity of bringing this subject , before the Association . The subjoined resolution was then unanimously adopted .
THE CHARTISTS AND THE IRISH LABOURERS IRISH VNIVEBSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION . At a meeting of the- Committee of this Association it was moved by Mr . William Woodward , and seconded by !> 5 r . Patrick M'Cartan" That the present is a . seasonable period for presenting the Chartists of Great Briton with an address thanking thtni on the part of tho Irish labouring c : os £ es , for the generosity rind humanity with w / iien the poor Irishman , driven ky bsd laws arid Cruel landlords to seek annually in England the rent of his wretched conacre , baa been hitherto treated , notwithstanding the irritation and retaliation which might havd bten locked for as the natural consequence of the often and recently repeated threat of Mr . O'Couriell to lead an armed force of 500 , 000 Irishmen to put down the Chartists of England , for energetically and
lawfully seeking the restoration of their long and unjustly withheld rights . And further , to entreat of them now , as friends and brethren , to centinue , and , if possible , redouble their kindness in this season of unparalleled distress . Acting , as they have hewtofore done , on the sublime Christian maxim of rendering good for evil , taking the opportunity which the sojourn of our countrymen aniODg them affords , of dissipating artfully instilled prejudices , and teaching them these sound and immutable political principles on which the magnificent document , the People ' s Charter , is grounded , so that they may carry home with them on their return the e&eda of the true faith in politics , and u ; SicHiInate them all over the country , and thus become the grateful auxiliaries of Ireland ' s best friends , the CUartists of England . Patrick O'Higgins , President . Wm . H . Dyott , Secretary .
Mr . Fowler was called to the chair , and the thanks of the meeting were given to Mr . Woodward ; after which the meeting separated , &Bt having given three cheers for Mr . O'CoaneU ' s three degrees of Suffrage ; - ^ " General Suffrage "— «« Manhood Suffrage "— " Adult Suffrage" Any Suffrage but an honest one . But the poor old man is doatini ' . He wants money and money he Kiast have . Arrah hasn't he the banfe and thy Viewery , nQ- * . isn't lie a barrister •"

a vrrong channel , the people sbould therefore , as tar as they are able , become the instructors of their o * -n children ; and to accomplish which I will now state my opinions on domestic education . I have befcre scat : d that coercion is bow generally used , instead of ¦ vrbAch I vrould substitute affection , end by blending education with amassment , make it both agreeable and instructive . Thus the children will receive the rudiments ef education . It would grow with him , and thus a thiist for knowledge would be created , which Eii ^ fct eventually enable the people to comprehend the canse of , and overthrow tyranny . I have advised several families to adopt the following simple manner , which , wterever it has been carried out , has been more successful than my most sanguine anticipations . Cret

Let me aik , how long do your children Tequire to l ^ arn the names of table , chair , bed . stool , < fco . ? Gould they not learn the difference between the character of the letters thus placed with the same facility as thr-y would the artic ! es ^> f furniture and receive the 2 * t part of their education in this way imperceptably . and without being talked ? Could they not then be taught to express many of their little wants by a combination of those letters ( forming words ) , anti thus e . ' uoiiion would stea involuntarily upon the youthful mind , and mate it a pleasure instead of a pain ? Mr .

By so doiDg , the powers that be ( which are not not of God ) could no longor rob them of their birthrights . They themselves are ashamed of their actions ; they durst :: ot test their dveds of darkner 3 . having plainly shown by their conduct at the pre-Eartation ut theTJitional Petition , that they have not a sufficiency ef faith in their conduct to bring it in contacE with the truth and lattice of tho people ' s claims .

Mr . Fbeebaikn said that it was of the utmost importance to the society to have the tules : md orj ^ ctb redd at the commencement of every rn' -tting of their scckty , as it frequently happened that strangers attended their meetings who knew nothing of thsir princirles , and who might go a-K-ay in ignorance if tbe salutary practice of reading their objects mre not adhered to . 'Hear , hear . ) In tne present case no one could plead isnortnea of their principles , and the man must be a slave , or a tyrant , who did not approve cf and appreciate them . ( Chetrs . )

Now he ( Mr . K . ) would say nothing about tn . 9 bad teste of any man parading his piety in this manner , but ha would say that if he ( Mr .
