BALTIMORE CRY DEMoCRTIC CONVENTION.
The Democratic Convention of the city OF
Baltimore met on last Friday for the first
time since November last They passed res
buttons calling upon the democratic voters of
the wards to meet on the 25th of this month to
elect delegates to a city Convention, the Con-
vention to meet on the LIST Thursday in June.
A Mr.. Hedian offered preamble and series
Of resolutions denounceing Mayor Swan, the
the City Council-the passenger railroad cor
porators, charging them with high crimes
and misdemeanors; and more especially that
they had now the fear ct the Democracy be-
fore their eyes. As these charges included
Mr.. jenkins, the member from the Eight
Ward, the only Democrat in the First Branch
this gentleman not Only defened his course
in voting for the bill, but rctorted in man
ner that, we are inclined to think, will cause
Mr.. Hedian to be little moro CAREFUL in
drawing up resolutions in future.
After much time had been spent in no, very
pleasant discussion, and in the indulgence Of
temper and words that certainly donot afford
much encouragement for harmony and unity
faction hereafter, the Convention adjourned.
Subsequently Mr.. Jenkins published in the
Republican the following card:
E6-To My DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS AND

ut an early day, refer to the subject and per-
haps to the real author of the resolutions, in
such a manner as the character of the assault
