A few days since, to rn-operate with the
above', an address was posted up in the most ctiu-
spit:nous parts of this town, from preel of
people calling themselves the Birmingham Hamp-

themselves into a club, for the purpose of aiding
and assisting in the great national duty of, Par-
liamentary Reform, by the dissemination of
truly loyal principles,' iv% Such are the wordi
of a part -of. their first Rrsolotion, . which is
