THE REFORM CONVENTION.

THE REFORM CONVENTION.
| The official ascounthf the proceedings
Of this body, which met at this city on
Friday last, the reader will find in ano.
ther part of this sheet. II was an inter.
es'ing occasion, and will long be remem-
bered with pleasing reflections by those
who participated in its proceedings. Nor
us II likely to be soon forgotten by the
office holders against whose usurpalions
and corruptions its efforts were directed.
| Although i'll respect OF numbers the meet
ing OF the "Old Jacksonians' on the 25,h
falls below many Of the popular gather
ings Of the day, yet did it make the pro
foundest impressions upon those who
formed it, and will exert an ultimate in.
flnence in behalf Of the country and its
violated liberties second only (if to any
to the "Great Birthday Convention" held
a, the same place. When i, is recollec,ed
thai the affair was begun and ended in the
short space Of three weeks, that it EN-
braced class Of citizens whose very ex-
istence has been denied by their political
adversaries. and that not until the third
day before the convention was it ascer-
tanned that Gov. Tyler would be present,
it will surprise the reader ,oflearn that
there were from three to FIVE thousand
persons, thus hastily assembled to reprove
the nalpraclices and deceitful professions
of Van Buren, and his Office holders, and
to assure each other and the world that no
party power should be able to chain them
to set of corrupt and seItisI, '.Gaptans
and Leaders" and to separate them from
their country. -
There were various considerations
some of which are obvious to the slightest
thought, which impaired peculiar interest
to this assembly. There was one cir
cumstance, however, which gave it par.
ticular attraction with those who witness
ed the scenes OF the 25,h. We allude to
the presence Of JOHN TYLER, of Virginia,
who, yielding the urgent solicitations of
his old political friends Of 20, although
just risen from bed Of sickness. fastened
to meet the cold Jackson men of Ohio"
and arrived here OIL the evening of the
Oath inst. So short was the interval be-
tween his reception of the invitation and
the period appointed for the meeting, that
he was allowed but single day to pre-.
pare for the journey. We are pra,ifed,
however. TO be authorized to say. that the
journey has contributed to improve the
state of his health. and tina, he left the
city on his return in better condition
than when he set out to Ohio.

THE MISSING $4,000 DOLLARS.

In another part of this paper will be
found an official note from Dr. X. F. Bar
rett, giving some further account of the
missing $4,000 dollars. 1t wonId seem
from this note that Judge You've has the
exclusive honor of being Sub-Treasurer
in this case. AS the contract with Wright
& Co. has been sanctioned by Gov. Car
lin, and accepted by Wrigh. d Co., we
see no good reason why Judge Young
withholds. or why he has withheld, the
money from the State. We cannot adj
mire the manner in which Gov. Reynolds
endeayors to shrink from the responsible
ity in the matter; nor why it should be
that he is entirely ignorant of the opera
tons of his colleague in this business.
We would not. however, be disp!eased if
the worthy Governor could get out of
responsibility in other monied operations.
as happily as he seems to think he has

The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance Of the medicine being found only in the
cemetaries Of Persia. This vegetable production
being Of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. In half CEN

eases Of that country. The extract of this sngu-
larproducton introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year 1888, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1892, the extract was combined with certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able effect of this compound upon the human sys-
tenn, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their unver-
