BALTIMORE, September 81, 1852.
To the Editor of the Union:
The whig newspapers, especially OF Washington, daily
publish what purports to be extracts from letters from
various States giving aerng accounts OF the prospects
Of the party and stating (without giving names) many
changes from the ranks OF the democracy TO those OF the
whigs Now, allow me to say, for good old Maryland
Al least that, far this State is concerned, there
never was gross Misrepresentation imposition
upon the public than is attempted by these EXTRACTS OF
letters"
4 The whig party Of this whole State was never in a
worse plight than at present Mere politicians of the
party at this time making stir, it is true, but the
party is greatly distracted. On casting about, find
among others, the following prominent wings who are
opposing Scors election, and some OF them battling foI
Pierce and King
In Western Maryland, McKaig, who was the regular
wing nominee in opposition TO Hamilton, the present dem
ocatic member OF Congress- John Brewer who held the
post Of prosecuting attorney for Allexany county. unde
appointment OF late Governor Pratt. OF the United
Saies Senate, and others.
I'm travelling along down, find A. G Ege. Of Carroll
A. Goodwin, OF Baltimore county; Ohio Scott, OF Har
ford, and others, whose names do not remember
in the counties in which these gentlemen reside.

A visit to Anne Arundel assures me that in that usu
ally closely county prospects were neve
brighter; for even in Annapolis, where whiggery ha.
held so strong hold. have hopes Of better results
the whig party. as learn. having been able tc
rsunie since its organization broken up by the ef
forts OF Augustus Gassaway, noble, generous, high
toned gentleman, and jealous young democrat.
lmish, 90 on enumerating, but will conclude by saying
that having named OF the pro ouinsn men OF the whs
party who fsvorng the election Of Pierce and King
there is not perhaps county in the State bat conlain
numerous others who will for Scot, and Graham

son men,, who left ranks, returning declinn,
10 support The present wing organization all tn,
State
You may rely upon il that the approaching vote fo
mayor OF Baltimore will be test OF the for Pres
den, which is TO follow after. Captain France tn,
whig nominee, may make very fair vote, but canno
come near being elected. The vote for President will
hoIt one OF the largest msoues for the democracy ba
ever Baltimore has given The wings have the money
they spare no means Of operating but take my word fo
IT. II will prove all Js with them when the ballots shal
have been counted.
