      TO THK EDITORS OP THB NOBTHERN ST 4 B . ^ Gentlemen , —I have read in your papor of Saturday last , an article purporting to be the report of a public meeting held in this town , on the Mwoday previou " , and as that article w a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end , I trust you will allow me to make a few brief remarks theruon . First , — It is stated that ' a large number of ths members of tbe Northern Union were Informed tbat the Mayor Imd sent a message to Wm . Rider , ordering him not to address a meeting at that place . " I cannot believe tbat any such information wat < giveu , and I know that no such mecsage was sent me either from th- Mayor or any other pernon . I took tho advice of my friends on the subject ; and on that advice I acted—my reasons for refusing to take part in open

      air meeting * arue entirely from circumstances of a domestic nature , and Mich as \ do not f « el justified in making public . Mr . Bottomley is represented ns stating that " the principal reasons why I refused to address the meunng was , that tbe May « r bad ordered ma not . " I kave since enquired of Mr . B . and he denies making any such assertion—however , 1 sr . ull Usive tbat point with those wh « batched the story , assuring you , and your readyru , tbat I have bad no communication from the M ± yer , neither , have I told my " principal reajon" to any person ; all I have said is , " I will not addrew an open air meeting in consequence of what has transpired at mj own home . "

      Secondly ,- The people assembled know perfectl y well tbat G . Whita did not " explain two objrets of the Charter" ; bis address was an incoherent tirade of abuse , levelled at tbe Democrats , and an outpouring of fulsome flattery directed towards the Convention . Thirdly , —I did not " rise to explain" ; but rose to tell > he meeting I should accompany them to York-fctreet , and there I would make the sham-H . ulicalu wince . Fourthly , —I did not " enter into all th * mpoints of the People ' s Charter . " I only upoke on five ; one , I never spoke publicly upon , and tnhall not , for some time to come .

      Fifthly , —I was not " at times interrupted with crit * of ' why doh ' t you act up to thatP' " I was interrupted once , and the audience forced the man upon thu platform , and , when there , he muttered " I ' ve nowtto ax . " Sixthly , —I recollect a simple young man asking why I flirdd there were not more than ei ght honest men in Convention j but I did not allude to the spending of money ok / jf—but to the waste of time —to the discrepancy of opinion existing in Convention— to the timidity of a majority of the delegates and to the love of procrastination , alias , jobbing . Seventhly , —The person , named Sowden , read Fometbirg in the shape of a question ; but , neither himself Eor any other person understood it .

      Ei ghthly , —I did move an amendment , and ittca * lott yet , it was supported by mor » than u / our hands" or yet forty , and one half of the aasambly were neutral * , not having any confidence at all in the Convention , I suppose . Ninthly , —Your informant , I find , tei / fuily neglects to f » ay tbat I opposed the election of any delegate fer Leeds . It was whispered that I should allow myself to be nominated ; but raaay , ai well as mywlf , kuew that I waseickofthe affair ; and , were 1 Dot , I inpw' that the ChartiVto of Leeds Rre too poor , and too few in number to support a delegate ; and knowing : tbw , and being desirous tk-at the poor skould kftep their money ( when tbey get it ) to mpplj their evrn wasta , I therefore told » bera to send no one te the Convention—the plan is in a consumption , a » d will soon end , if empty talker ? are to guide the movement

      Yours respectfully , Wm . Rid ?* . Leeds , Jnae 25 th , 1839 . P- S . —I ' should be obliged to any person who will inform me , how the idea originated that tbe Mayor bad cautioned me against addressing tbe meeting , as I believe him , or any « tber ef our Borough liagiBtr&tes , above such despicable acts . 1 know he was imposed up « n by professed Radicals in regard to convening a public meeting on tha question of the Ballot ; such trickery I detest , and in du « time f > baU expire . I am surprised that men should re ? ort to such palpable imposition to conceal their own clandestine conduct , ¦ w . n .

      MR . O'CONNOR AT SHEFFIELD . Ofl Thursday last , Mr . O'Connor attended a meeting of the people of ShefiwH called together « j > on v ^ ry slight notice ; when Ine largest assemblage ever seen in that populous town congregated in Paradise-square , tie seen' ? of so many Whig Reform and other humbug d splays , and which accordiug to Whig arithmetfc used to contain thirty thousand . However the Squaro woa fnllof red coats , bine coaU , and fustiun jackets . At half-past sivftn , the time announced , Mr . O'Connor arrived , accompanifd by th -commit wr > of the Radical Association , and was eiitkuaiaslicnlly cheered . So dense was the crowd that the party round great difficulty in making a way to the steps . Uj « n our arrival " we worn astonished to fisl order kept at tho foot of the stairs by a fine handsome yourfg soldier , who-with hiu comrades appeared to tak » th « most intense interest io tba proceedings .

      Mr . J . Whstlam , n member of the Associatior ,, was voted to the chair bv general acclamation . He said—Brother workiDg men , I feel tho high honour which yon havd conferred upon me , but your character for peace , law , and order , renders tbe duty of ch . airmG . rt n very -en * r if not an urmetessary'office . ( Cheers . ) 1 anticipate n » disorder excoj » t it m « iv proceed from some of Lord John ' s hired mercenaries , —( load chetTi »)—and I invest each and every man with fall authority t » apprehend any suck offender , or any one wb-i , by firing n pistol or other insignia » f the spy system , shall dare to interrupt our procpe ^ iugs . ( Chee . v , aud" Wo will . " ) We are assembled here as the largest meeting ever s . en in Sht-fil-jld and upon t ' je shortest notice . fH » ar , hear . ) We are assembled here peaceably and relijrionsly to gain thoss right * which the founder of Christianity conferred upon ui , but which infidels and pharisees have rob bad ns of ;—( lond imd continued cheers)—and those of the present day if

      tbat mud judge of mankind were to appear as the opponent ot their rule , aad even armed with the same high commisaios , would say unto their sanguine fellowers and slaves seize him , take him htnee and crucify him . ( Lon 4 cheer * , and " aye , " and th > . y i crucify Fearga . if we'd fet thera . ) Yes , my friends , and' they will crucify others who shonkt be dearte you as the npplo of your eye , because throueh their ught you have b « en tanght to see the truth , and tinght how to estimate it . ( Cheers . ) I gny they will destroy your representatives , if in the day of trial you desert them . ( Cheers , and " nevrr . " ) No it never has bean a fault charged upon the working classe * to desert their friends , however mauy may havo deserted them ; our confidence , rather than our suspicion , has beep their rale , and if ever we had a right to confide , it is in those men who kp . ve staod ia the front ra » k of danger . I now make way for EeargusJ O'Connor . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . 0 'Connob then came forward , and wa » received with the most deafening- f hsers . H » addressel the meeting , Mr . Chairman , acd brother Radicals . He said the cause of his present visit was to do away with the flattering disappointment wbich his absence from their recent demonstration hai caused . Since he ' arrived , he had learned tbat the magistrates attributed his absence upon that occasion to fear . ( A laugh . ) Foarof what ? He had given fall notice of his coming now , wad where were the valiant gentlemen . ( Loud cheers . ) There he was to laugh their power to scorn , and dare ftem to tonch a hair of his head . ( Lowd cheers . ) Perhaps one of tho greatest curiosities , of steam production was the manner in which it generated

      magistrates from the dunghill , or spun them out of a bale of cotton . ( Cheers and laughter . ) How brave they were in H * absence ' . but ,. said he , they are not worth more of your consideration . ( Lond cheersv ) Ho did not seo the use of agitation for any other purposes than , two ; firstly , to point « ut the errors of the system complained of , and secondly , to teach the sufferers , the means by which the evil can bo remedied ^ ( Cheers , and " That's it . " ) Th ? ir suffering was a branch of national faith which he would simply explain , while their remedy was ia union and it » p «> per applicatioa . ( Cheers . ) The direct suffering under national ? aith was nothing when corapaced to the indirect manner in which that faith rats upheld . ( Hear , h > wr . ) National f * ith meant the mortgage of tho bandloom weaver for his portion of a daft which he

      never contracted , —( cheers >—aad let it be observed that wh «> n the mortgage wa « . made , he oaraed 3 Cte . per week , while a property kax was laid npoa tbe profit of the land , and on the woalth made by genius and other means , while he is oalled upon . to redeem the whola mortgage ont of five or sixshillingd a week , the property of the rich being wholly exempt from the charge , ( Lond oheers and ' True . ' ) National faith was tsen bat the nest-egg mpon which the law hens , tbe church hens , and tho tax hens * and all _ ether liens , laid their eggs . ( Laughter . ) Tha national deal fee . coBtended was but as a drop of water in the oeoaa , compared to the herrors of the system whi ^ bijts . support es genoerad , and which required afal * eaa 4 an artificial state of things to

      spuold . Let hua inform that mooting , that t wentyfive English bamsiprs , and twenty-3 ve Irish banisters , twenty-five English attorni « % and twenty-fWe Irish attsmies v bagged under the system more than one million aauttally . ( Cheers and Shame .

      Mr . Samuel Passey was then examined .
