We Bgroe with our correspondent C. G. in h3 suggestion of of the propriety of calling a mass meeting to take mensures to forward the great principie of reform. Say meet at Jackson, orany other fnvourable place. Wiil the committee take it into consideration ? If Liberty men will be active and efficiënt, we may expect a large accession to our nnmbers.
