The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.
A rather warm discussion took place between Mr. O'Connor
and Mr. O'Brien, relative to certain charges made in the
Northern Star by the former against the latter.
Mr. O'BRIEN complained bitterly of the conduct of Mr.
O'Connor, in denouncing him (Mr. O'Brien) as a " devil,"
and a " Whig adulator," classing him amongst those who were
said to have attended the Conference in Birmingham for the
purpose of partaking of the soup of Mr. Joseph Sturge.—
(Loud laughter.) He (Mr. O'Brien) hud never spoken to
Mr. Sturge in his life, much less visited his house for the pur-
pose of tasting his soup. All he (Mr. O'Brien) wished was
to have an opportunity of answering the charges made against
him in the Northern Star.
Mr. O'CONNOR said that he had always taken an opportu-
nity of praising Mr. O'Brien wherever he went. He could as-
sure Mr. O'Brien that if there was one man in the world that
he felt more love, more affection, and more admiration for than
another, that man was Mr. O'Brien. He would therefore
promise Mr. O'Brien that the columns of _he Northern Star
should in future be open to any communication he might
send, and lie (Mr. O'Connor) was ready to give hint (Mr.
O'Brien) the right hand of friendship.
Mr. O'Connor and Mr. O'Brien then shook hands very
warmly across the table amidst loud cheering.
Mr. O'BRIEN could assure the Convention that, however
much he admired Mr. O'Connor, and admire him he did most
highly, he did not feel that affection for him which he (Mr.
O'Connor) had expressed for him (Mr. O'Brien. )—(Laugh-
ter. ) He was glad he should have an opportunity of defending
himself in the Northern Star from the calumnies and slanders
that had been heaped upon him in it. He hoped Mr. O'Connor
would keep his promise, and then perhaps his (Mr. O'Brien's)
admiration might ultimately ripen into that affection which he
(Mr. O'Connor) had so warmly expressed for hint ( Mr.
O'Brien.) Mr. O'Connor had a very smooth way of coming
over people, but he hoped he would act just as he said he would,
and not give him (Mr. O'Brien) any more of his smoothness;
for perhaps he (Mr. O'Connor) didnot know it, but so smoothly
had Mr. O'Connor written a letter to the Northern Star re-
specting Mr. O'Brien, that although it was couched in friendly
language, still it would have the effect of causing hint (Mr.
O'Brien) to be held up as an enemy to the people. He hoped
that Mr. O'Connor would not give him any more of hissinooth-
ness.—( Laughter. )
After some further discussion, a resolution was passed binding
the Convention not to make any charge against any indi-
vidual, until that individual had received duo notice, in order
that he might have an opportunity of defending himself against
the charge.

Addre'sses were then agreed to, to the Queen and the Secre-
tary of State, praying far the liberation of all political offenders.
The Convention then adjourned.
