Whig Plot Discovered!
INFAMOUS SCOTT CIRCULAR


De- INFAMOUS SCOTT CIRCULAR !! '
The Wing State Convention not long
since issued to leading and influential mem-
hers of the party a private aud confidential
Circular, which developed their entire pro-
gran,me of proceedings. ae.
The following is the principle part of this
most extraordinary document:
DO not allo,u this Circular to be exposed.
NEWCASTLE, June 10Th, 1852.
SIR:-This Circular, embracing the names
and post office address of all the members Of
the CouGty Committees, you will find useful.
The wings OF Maine and of the whole coun-
try are entering upon the most importa MT
campaign which has occurred since their
organization as party. The great Pres!-
Dental contest Of '52 will stamp itself for
veal or woe upon the great interests OF the
country. Wings everywhere. iee that the
welfare of the great wing parry and OF the
country is identical. There are good rea-
sons fot the opinion that Maine may no,p be
rescued from Loco Foco misrule. Our pres
ent State Indebtedness; the corruptions of
the State administration for years past; the
lrafficking for high Offices disgusting squab
bles BETWEEN THE TWO WINGS OF THE
DOMINANT PARTY, all call loudly for change
of men and measures, to which demand we
believe the people are prepared to say amen
In order to insure success, something besides
talk is necessary. There must be perfect
organization of The whig party, for the pur-
pose OF bringing out every aohig Uote at The
September and November elections. The
loco foco and free soil parties in every town
must be canvassed, for the purpose of seeing
how many doubtful men they have, and
wherever found, they mus; be secured for the
wing ticket. From present appearances,
we think Mr.. Crosby is quite sure of being
elected Governor by the people. 1t is GER
tain that Gov. Hubbard cannot be. The bat
tie in September is to be fought in the State Rep
resentatiue districts. A wing House of Rep.
resenta;ives will undoubtedly give us the
control of the other branch OF the Legisla-
ture and insure us the election OF whig U.
S. Senator. Notwithstanding the outrageous
character of the State representative appor-
tionmeut, il appears on examination, that
with proper effort, taking advantage OF
the disafection which exists among our ad-
verssries, there is fair prospect OF carrying
the Legislature. We urge you, therefore,
10 look 10 your doubtful representative dis
lrcts. Our present opinion is that in Name,
the campaign had better beconducted quietly and
tcithom parade. Circumstances may occur
which viii render different course expeii-
dient. Don't forget the strong wing towns ;
in such the efforts of oIr friends can he maGe
more openly than in the sIrong loco loco
towns. In ,ohig localities, be sure that our
friends harmonize. In the strong loco foco
towns you will find the greatest DIVISION
LAT ti,,.T ha
by our friends to drive them together An
apparent apathy on the part of our friends in
such towns, will deluxe The enemy.
At the dale of this Circular, we know the
nominees of the Baltimore loco ioco Conven-
ton. Unlocked for as they were, yet they
are perhaps, AS STRONG NOMINATIONS AS
THAT CONVENTION COULD HAVE POSSIBLY
MADE. In the South and in the West, WE
THINK THEY WILL COMMAND GOOD DEAL OF
SUPPORT. Ii remains 70 be seen whether the
democracy of the great STATES OF New York.
PENNSYLVANIA, and Ohio will recover them
selves after the disasters which befel them IN
that Convention. OuI friends must not rely
upon the real or supposed weakness OF our
oppoaents. TIE loco lOco party will proba-
bly give 10 their candidates The most united
and determined support. They will fight
with the desperation of drowning men.
The surest way for us 10 accomplish our
purposes in this State, is through the Town
Committees. We enreat you 10 see that
committees are appointed in every Town as
signed to your care, If not already done-it
is The duty of the County Committees. The
Town Committee should be made up of
PICKED MEN who will respond heartily
to the Baltimore wing nominations. The
County Committees must see that the Town
Commuters do their work. There must be
no doubt about it. The State Committee will
meet at the United States Hotel, IN Portland,
on Thursday, the 24rh ns'., at O'Clock, A.
NJ, and il is very importint that at that
meeting, they should have the names ana
post office address of every member OF The
Town Committee throughout the S'ate.-
Will you see that the chairman OF your
County Committee is furnished with perfect
lists OF the committees in Towns under your
care, in season for him 10 furnish a copy TO
the member of the State Committee having
charge Of your County.
Respectfully yours,

CHARLES PETERS,
DEMOCRATS OF MAINE ! here you have the
plan of whiggery 10 override the majority
and lay the honor of The State PROSTATE at
the feet Of that corrupt party. They propose
no open fight. They warn their forces
against free field and fair play. They
dare not challenge the democracy TO con-
lest OF principles. They know that, on such
an issue, they would be whipped beyond all
hope of recovery. So they meanly resort to
the Indian mode of warfare. They are to
hide in the grass or behind trees, and unseen
let fly their arrows. Their policy is 10 con-
duct the campaign quietly, and oithom pa
rade.' They say-mark the words, demo-
Gratis Of Maine--'An APPARENT apathy on
the part of our friends in such towns lstrona
loco foco towns WILL DELUDE THE ENEMY.
The plot is now laid bare. Let the dem
ocraiic press give it full publcty-let every
democrat in city, town, village and planta-
tion, from Aroostook TO Killery Point, aid
in It's exposure.
We have heard much of late about SECRET
CLUBS. Well, here is one. with all rs secre
