Mormon Convention.�The Patriot slates that a Convention of Delegates from the Mormons will be held in Baltimore on Saturday next.�The original intention of the Convention, as we are given to understand by the public notice, was to nominate their late leader, Joe. Smith, as a candidate for the Presidency, but his death will render it necessary to make other arrangements upon the subject. Some of the members of the proposed Convention, we are informed, are now in the City for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for the meeting. [ Baltimore Sun.
