BALTIMORE, Tuesday, April 8.
The arrest of Sims, the fugitive slave in Boston,
has created quite an interest here in reference TO
the result. In case he should be successfully re-
turned to the South, there will be half dozen
arrests made in that city of negroes who have
fed from Maryland, provided they can be caught.
! know several who are only awaiting the action
in this case to proceed at once to Boston and
reclaim their prOperty-the proper papers and
witnesses being ready for an early start.
The steamer Brother Jonathan OF your city,
which put 10 here for repairs, is nearly ready 10
resume her trips, but ! learn that an effort is be-
ing made to purchase he. for the RarRRo.e o. run
packet Arrangements are being made TO secure
her for that purpose, and II IS thought Will be sue
cessful.
Our Mayor, City Council and chief Corporation
officers started this morning on visit TO York,
WrightAville &c. Pa, on invitation ofthe Railroad
Companies of that section, who desire certain
favors from the city, and hence their courteous
civilities to the City Fathers. Champagne and

Baltimore Carroll aud Howard Counties, John
Kettlewell, exSheriH Of the city, will no doubt
be the Loco nominee, in which case au lndepen'
dent candidate is almost sure 10 be run, giving
the Wings another chance of gain.
The greatest drawback 70 the Wing party AZ
present, how ever, is the conduct Of the majority
Of the Reform Convention at Annapolis, who In
endeavoring 10 defeat practical republican re-
forms are doing more harm TO the Wing cause
than they ever can hereafter do good. There
seems 10 be no doubt OF the Constitution framed
by this Convention being defeated before the
people. Their utter reputation Misrepresentation
according to population, neglect to decrease the
expenses Of the judiciary, sc, will politically
damn all their labors. Ii will not be astonishing

in future, unless the members OF this s5Ortive
