Commercial Convention at Charleston.
The time for the meeting of this Convention is
drawing nigh. This is continuation of thescon-
vention of delegates from the Southern and South
Western States, that tfnetin Baltimore in De-
cembet, 1852, and then again in Memphis Glenn
IN June, 1858. This last meeting, at the close Of
its proceedingss adjourned to- meet in Charleston
on the second Monday tthe 1Olh,) of April, 1854.
So two weeks from Monday next is the day for the
meeting.
We see, by the papers, that a large number Of
delegates have been appointed 10 attend The Con.
yention, from all the cities and principal towns in
the'Soutl and South West, and in some CASTS del
egates have been appointed by the Governors Of
some States. The Charleston Mercury, i'll a no.
tce of the Preparations that have been made and
are still making for the meeting Of the Convt n
ton, says 49,. 49, - ess,ss =. 74g7ss.
II has been universally felt that these assem-
blages OF Intelligent representatives OF de-
pertinent of Southern rnterprlse, by bringing TO-
gether great and. Varied amount oil knowledge
and experience, promote The unity aud sympathy
of feeling among our distant communities, and
give beneficial and ;lightened impulse 10 our in
duStfial PURSUITS. Our city has been among the
first 10 promote these reunions OF the Southern
people; and hence the adjournment of the Mem
phIs ConvciItionlo assemble iere in April, was
| received with general iayor. We noticed, some
time since, tie preliminary arrangements fer Srcu
ring large attendance, and for promoting the conf
fort aud entertainment oil the Delegates. These
arrangements have been pressed with an energy aud
devotion Characteristic of the gentlemen who have
them principally IN charge, and the result now
promises TO be III the highest degree cIeditable 10
them aud 10 the.cily, which they represent. 1t is
believed that many distinguished and honorable
names will be found i'll the roll of the coming con-
venton; thai large delegations will be P,-sent
from every Southern State, and That the cnncourse
of strangers will be greater than has ever before
been Witnessed in this city. As specimens, We
notice in the Nashville papers a list of nearly 500
delegates apr ointed.by Gov johnson TO represent
Tennessee in the convention, aud among hem are
many of the moStpTomtnent citizens oil the slate.
The proverbal hosp tally OF Charleston is likely
10 have full scope iur It's exercise but have iait
enough 10 believe That she WILDE found equal
10 The occasion, and will lose none oil her good
repute ly neglecting the gelaldutiest thus imposed
upon her. :.
The merchants of Baltimore may clalmto have
been amongst the first 10 suggest and bring together
representatives from the south and southwest in
general Convention; and the beneficial results OF
the meeting, are showing themselves in every
branch of our commercial aud industrial enter
prise. Other cities of the Southern States,we are
gratfedin learning, have also realized advantages
from the Conventions that have been held, and " {
are thus encouraged by confident hope, thatlthis
meeting i'll Charleston will greatly augment these
advantages, and SO more cumpleteybring TO the
South and Southwest that intimate commercial in
teicourse which is only wantingt TO secure the full
lest prosperity. 81
We trust that there will be full attendance o
delegates from the city of Baltimore. Here tn.
first convention was held-and SO is its name iden
titled with that Of city, and the success of til.
important object. 10 accomplish which ii was call
ed together, also identified with our prosperity
Let, then, there be full representation of Balti
more in the convention that is TO NEE. at Charles
ton on the 10th of April. and every interest of tn
city will be udvanced.- -Bau. Patriot.
