The Reform or Temperance party
have called mass convention to meet
tomorrow at half past ten O'Clock at
Miller Hall, for the purpose of organic
ing a Reform and Temperance party.
We notice that the call is signed by
both Republicans and Democrats. The
design is to nominate a ticket for coun-
ty offices. The Democratic Convention
will be held i'll the afternoon, and we
suppose, though we are notin the coun-
sells of either party, tll:.t if the Temper
ance men nominate an acceptable ticket,
the Democrats will nominate the same
one and thus hope to carry the county.
OF course the Temperance party have
Il perfect right to organize, especially. in
the temperance county of Mobiles, but
we do not see what any Republican can
gain by joining Il movement to defeat
the Republican ticket. If any temper
ance man knows Of an anti-temperance
man Oh the Republican ticket, we say
scratch him by all means, and if we can
have satisfactory proof that there is
such a man on the ticket, we shall urge
his defeat through the ADVANCE. But
until the Republicans of this county
nominate contemporaries men or cor
rupt men, we think Republicans ought
to stand by their own ticket.

During the week we had the pleasure

pleasure of Il call Oh brother Chamber
lain, of the Republic, in his new brick
office, where we found him, like Rabe-
lais, i'll his easy chair surrounded by as
neat Il newspaper office as there is i'll
Minnesota. We noticed that new
school house had gone up since our last
visit, in the neighbor},ood OF the Court
House. Jackson wants nothing but i.
railroad to make it one of the thriving
towns of the State, and that it will have
before long, we hope. At the Ashley
House we found Mr.. Whitcomb, the
State Auditor, who accepted our invi-
tation for i ride over to Worthington,
whence he goes to Window to make sale
of some school lands. We saw u great
deal of good corn between here and
Jackson, which, strange as it may
seem, still looks green and scarcely
touched 10y frost.
