  DTJBUN . —Ihe Irish Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday last , at their room , No . 14 , North Annestreet Mr . William Woodward wai called to the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of tbe last meeting . He al » . read several letters from England , giving additional proof of the sympathy whieh ; the working classes of England have tor their suffering brethren In Ireland . He then read the objects of the Association , and briefly commented on them . Mr . O'Higgins said be was sure the meeting * would be delighted to hear the letter which he bold in his hand read . It is the letter of oar ¦ valuable friend and brother in the cause of the suffering poor , Mr . J . Lowery , who waa Indefatigable in his exertions in the country , aud although he had met with persecution for joinlngeur association , he bad persevered ,
  
  and the result of his perseverance is , that he has sent as the namtt-Ot twenty farmers to ba enrolled as members of out Association . ( Cheers . ) Notwithstanding ail the falsehoods which were circulated respecting the legality of our society , it was progressing even beyond oar modi wuignine expectations . The sensible and truly patriotio portion of the people were joining our ranks in every quarter of the country where the principles of oar Association were mode known . A . few such sterling and uncompromising patriots as Mr Lowery would « oon spread th « principles of the People ' s Charter all over the land ; the obvious result of which would be that humbug and delusion woula" be banished from the oountry , and true political knowledge established in thelrtteaO . He deemed it right to mention
  
  thrt efforts had been made to deVfff ^ B PflOflp from reading the KerthemS $ frt lest theymjfcbt oeoome acquainted with the real' feelings of the * English people towards their Irish brethren , the working classes . This plan to prevent the people from attaining that political knowledge which the Irish press denlod them , and which waa supplied by the Star , was carried to so high a pitch that it became necessary to take the opinion of eminent counsel upon the subject , and he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) had the pleasure of informing the meeting that an action at law could be maintained against any person who would damage the property of the proprietor of the Northern Star , by misrepresentation or otherwise ; and as the proprietor , Feargus O'Connor , is an Irish barrister , the people of Dublin ,
  
  and perhaps of Drogheda , too , might be gratified by hearing Mr . O'Connor plead on behalf , nat only of his agents here , but on behalf of his own property . ( Hear , hear . ) Depend npon it , that it will not be necessary to Bend him a large fee , in order to retain his services in the Irish Courts of Law . It was stated , in order to damage the present Northern Star , that the Northern Star , whioh was published in Bslfaat prior to 1798 , by one of the most intrepid and talented patriots that ever Ireiand produced—Arthur O'Connor , the uncle of Feargus O'Connor , was an Orange paper , and that the present Star is also Orange . This is a flagitious falsehood . The Northern Star of 1798 , office , types , forms , press , and all , were burned by the Orangemen , and the patr iot , O'Connor , was persecuted and banished from
  
  his native country , tbe land which he loved , on the evidence of such men as Tom Reynolds , the infamous Tom Reynolds , and doomed to roaman exile in a foreign couatry , without & glimpse at the land of his nativity in hia old age ; while those who now assume exclusive patriotism as well as exclusive sanctity , were paying court to the tyrant * of the day , and making their way st tbe Irish Bar , having previously skulked from the ' rigid dlsciplineincidental to the study of Theology , at St . Omer ' g , to the more delicate study t > f Gastronomy , at the Inns of Court in London . The Northern Star , of 1798 , was founded on tho principles of Civil and Religious Liberty in their widest sense . It advocated Catholic Emancipation with a talent and a spbit never before attempted , nor since equalled . It
  
  was ihe strenuous advocate of Universal Suffrage , Annual Parliaments , Equal Representation , and No Property Qualification for Members of Parliament ; and the Korthern Starot the present day follows in thafootsteps of its predecessor , with tbe addition of its advocacy of a Repeal of the Union , aud the best defence of the Irish Catholic clergy against their Tory calumniators , that ever appeared in the columns of a newspaper . Mr . 0 'Higgins concluded by proposing that the twenty farmers whose names he read , b « admitted members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . Mr . R . Dunne seconded the motion . Mr . Dy ott , in bringing forward a motion on the subject of Repeal , said that he did ao for two rwwoiw : first , it waa objected that they were not sufficiently ardent in their
  
  pursuit of that measure , and be , as an earnest and consistent repealer , and as a member of the society exclusively devoted to the purpose of Repeal , wished to hear this association over and over agaia recognise and declare the justice and necessity , of getting rid of that monstrous political iuiqnity—the unequal , destructive , and miscalled Union between England and Ireland . Ha -waa most anxious that all repealers should fully understand thai the Universal Suffrage Society stood pledged to the accomplishment of repeal , and sought the extension of the rljht of voting , the ballot , fcc , as means W that great and glwious end . This was his first reason —the desire of conciliating all repealers—f * r bringing forward the present motion . His next was , tbat a vary numerous class of patriotic and well-disposed Irit-hmen
  
  dreaded the undefined repeal agitated for by Mr . O Connell ; though they were quite convinced of the necessity of properly restricted home legislation . They feared , and with juatico , a repetition of those differencts which hud taken placo within the short period between 1782 and 1800 , ana they wanted to see those evils provided against , which would of necessity arise , and should eventually terminate in separation or civil war ( Hear , hear . ) Tuete might be called the Crawfordites , for whom , as an huoest and sound-thinking claw , he entertained the highest respect aud esteem . ( Hear . ) To alley the apprehensions of this respectable and i . mnerouB class was his second inducement to propose—11 That ¦ while this Association fully recognisss the justice oiid the necessity of repealing the Legislative Union
  
  at present existing between Great Britain and Ireland , they « o not mean , uu tho phrase ' Rrpeul of the Union * might imply , a mere falling back on the Constitution of ' 82 . but such a modification of tfeat Constitution as would efl ' octuuily jiruvent collisions between the two legislative bodies , by btrict'y confining the Irish Parliament to the internal concerns of their own country . " Tbe mutual a&tiis of the two countries should of course be artjuated by representations from both . ( Hear . ) This resolution he submitted for the adoption of that Society ; it Would ai-rre to put tkeir ideas ou this important subject into a ( Ufinite , and he hoped a satisfactory shape . ( Hear . ) Mr . W . Martin rose , and said he felt grtiit pleasure in seconding' tho resolution which . Mr . Dvots propese < l , nnd had . supported art ably . He
  
  Baid be w :-..- ) u Roman Catholic mid a Repealer ; and if he should be asked why he waa an advocute for the People's Charter , or Universal Suffrage , h'i would teil those who . uk'iri him it waa because he was a victim of the present vicisus system , which vested the tigtt to voto in property . lie was a householder in 1835 ; bs was at that time in the employ of a most ritjtrt Conservative , « uid wao matle him some very h :: ndeunic offms if ho would vote against his conscience and hh religion .

Tho Committee had previously delivered out the whole thousand ; consequeutiy , they were unable to supniy-the demand . A . motif i was made that more tickets should be printed , which was objected to , on the ground thattlie room would not
  
  hold more than a thousand persons , without great inconvenience ; There is not the leasi d-. ubt that if a room as large again could be procured , U : at bother thousand tickets would very readily be sold .
