BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTIMORE, April l-10P.n.

r
l learn that certain parties here design es-
tablishing a new Sunday paper. Tue present.
Weekly Dispatch. by Messrs. Cloud, since
it dropped the name of Sunday Dispatch, is
generally put to press about o'clock on Sa.-
urday afternoon. and circulated the same
evening; hence the field being again open
for a legitimate Sunday paper; going to press
late Gu Saturday night and distributed on Sun
day morning. The persons alluded to have
contemplated the enterprise.
Iobserve that Governor Ligon has appointed
about two hundred delegates from the State at
large to attend the Southern Convention,
which meets at Charleston. South Carolina, ON
the 10Th instant. So far as baltimore is con
cerned, His Excellency has been rather par
tiai, especially among the editors. only two of
son, OF the Argus, being favored with appoint
ments All the others he has very indissreet-
ly overlooked. This partial compliment to
the press does not argue saga.i;y. The Amer
lean, Patriot and Clipper are certainly emit
| tied to equal consideration. My impression is
the Governor has simply forgotten part of
his courteous duty and will make the anieade
honorable when be discovers the dereliction.
| fear, however, that the number Of delegates
| their attendance will be very small-probably
| not one. A similar course was pursued with
reference to the great Memphis Convention, of
| which 80 much was said, and vet only one
| legitimate delegate was there from Baltimore
and only two from the whole State. Our Board
| of Trade, believe. purpose appointing dele
| gates who will guarantee personal attendance
bat none such have yet been found.
| These Conventions do very well to talk

also, for feasting, spouting, and Publication;
but their real practical utility thus far has
| been poorly manifested. Business must be
made by action. There are laws governing
trade beyond and above the control of Con-
ventions. Let these be attended to, and COM
MERGE will reap the advantage. All CONNER
cial cities and great leading divisions Of coun-
ty are, snd will be. rivals in business This is
natural and right We must look at home
first, and if anything is wanting to be done
| there, do it.
