LETTER FROM BALTIMORE
Prom our Own Correspondent

From our oUn Correspondent "."
BALTIMORE, Oct. 26, 1853.
One of the wealhiest, most Influential, aud
intelligent Democrats IN our city, who has inva-
Iiably voted with that party, who at prest ut
holds very responsible office under Mayor
Banks, and who in times past has given as
much, If not more, money in aid of his party
than any other gentleman in Mary land, told me
this morning he now felt perfectly satisfied
Seymour and Blair would get only two States
in the Union, namely, Kentucky and
Maryland. l asked him If he did not include
Delaware. He said no, that State is certain for
Grant and Col'ax, Nov the predictions of this
gentleman are of more than ordinary import
ance; 6rst because he is intelligent, far-sceing
and particularly well posted on political mat
tCrs; seCoud, because he IS Of the class of men
and there are thousands like him-who never
sacrifice their own personal interests for the
sake of partisan politics; third, because he
kr ows what is for the whole country's good
must be for his own likewise; fourth, he is a
very wealthy man, large bondholder
and believing his property safer ip peace, as
will be the case with Grant and CollaX, than it
would with Seymour a0d Blair, ne is therefore
anxious tor their election. Tnen. again, he Is
largely engaged in business, much OF which de-
pelds on the South. lie consequently wants
quiet, such as must be prevail with a Republi.
can triumph; so that people in the Southern
aud hencGtorWard turn their attention to culti-
YatIng their lands, 10 domestic industrial pur-
suits, and thereby obtain money 10 pay their
debts, make new purchases, ana thus
give encouragement to trade. My friend also
remarked that harmony was wanted between
the laW-maklng and executive departments of
the Government, and this never could be with
largely plepunderathg Republican Congress
anu a thoroughly Democratic resident. To
secure this Grant must be elected. He felt,
therefore, sensible people all over the United
States would argue the matter as he had, and in
so dong, with the trihing exception OF Maryland
and Kentucky, would give the electoral vo.e of
every other State to the Republican nominees.
The gentleman here referred to has made some
very heavy bets He carries with him number
of strong Democrats in this city.
1t would be rather too much to expect Mary
land, under existing circumstances, to give her
Vo'e to Grant and ColaK, though, from the
manner in which our friends are at work all
over the State, they will cast a very large vote.
1t will be the beginning OF a revolution that
promises to overturn Democracy in a very short
time, and place our Commonwealth once more
under the keeping and guardians nip OF her loyal
citizens. think we will undoubtedly elect
Judge Weisel to Congress IN the Fourth district,
and probably beat Swami in the Third
No special effort will be made to bring out
the Republican vote at the municipal election
for members of the First Branch of the City
Council, which takes place here on Wednesday
next 2Sth inst. Some of the wards, viii run
cal dldates, but there is no general ticket
The EoD. Joha p. Kennedy, former Secretary
of the Navy who has been in Europe during
the past two or three years, returned home
few days ago, in good health. He is a strong
supporter of Grant and CUllaX, and will preside
at grand Republican mass meeting to be held
next Saturday evening at the Front Street
Theatre. | learn, reliably, four.dfths of the
subordinates in the Cdslom-house aud Post
Office now openly ayow their Intention to vote
the Republican ticket.
1t is fact undeniable that the manner in
which Maryland has been managed under Demo.
cratic rule for nearly two years past, acting in
affiliation with saco0oionionI auu heOels, mas
done much to benefit the Republican cause
up for purpose, and though it seemed evil at
first, his acts, bad as they were, brought about
an ulIimatum of good. The Punishment of
joseph appeared to be wrong, but it resulted
finally for the better. SO with our political
sutcrings.'
The Democrats Of Maryland, so soon as they
obi aimed power, turned out every loyal citizen
entrusted with office and filled Their places with
known secessionists and Rebels, who had been
actually lighting in Lees army under JEFF. Davis
TO destroy US, until the departments OF our city
and state seemed as if filed with Mo3eby's
guerIllas or Davis defunct Cabinet officials.
We, even now, have the appearance of an
asylum for the charitable maintenance of
Rebels, to the exclusion of good, honest, loyal
citizens. OR friends in the North, happily,
saw this, aud said to themselves, if the Demo-
cratic party, in Maryland, will give all offices 10
traitors, and turn the State Government over to
them bodily, what will the same party, catering
to these Rebels, do, if, by the aid of their votes,
it obtains possession of the central Government
at Washington? Why, the same thing, ofcourse.
Hence it must be stopped.
