BUFFALO, Sept. 17, 1859.
A Convention of self-styled reformers has been sitting in this city for two days past, comprising the leading abolitionists, free lovers, infidels, fanatics, and women's rights men and women of the country. They have been assiduously searching for the origin of evil and its course, while their speeches for the most part have been disgusting and blasphemous. The Convention closes its session to-morrow (Sunday,) and the public generally will experience a feeling of relief when the city is rid of these reformers.
