We find that the Jersey CaY 1aegrdPh
9'rea9oa STATE Gazette Neteark Mercury and
many others of our Jersey exchanges are pub
fishing the call tor an industrial Legislature, to
be held on the third Tuesday lelst,l OF January
at Trenton. to bring the needed measures OF Re
fotal more Immediately before the State Lcgigla-
ture, which is about to assemble, land which IS
sup1osed to contain a majority OF Reformers from
the ranks OF both the old parties for the transsc
fion Of such business as may be introduced for
the good Of the people Every paper IL New
Jersey without any distinction Of party should
circulate the call Of the Industrial Legislature
which is to remain il session seven days or more,
md v IL undoubtedly give fair expression to the
RI form sentiments of the State. Five or more
persona, where no Reform organization exists,
NAV form themselves into an Association and be
entitled to send one or more representatives, &C
cording to their numbers, provided they subscribe
10 the wellbnown National Reform principles,
Which arc SO attractive that members OF all par
ties have subscribed to them, Wing, Opposition,
and Independent. The Boston Nal tIndepen-
dcpt thus speaks for the popularity OF these Pfln-
ciples in Massachusetts,
