BALTIMORE, October lIth, 1852.
The movement towards placing independent
Judiciary candidates before the citizens Of Balt-
more for their supper, aud votes In opposition to
those recently nominated by the Democratic party,
Il working vigorously, tremendously aud saiisfac-
torily with decided promise Of success. This Of
all the moves made In our city IN her history in
the past half century of what may be termed an
independent political movement, seems most pop.
ular and likely TO meet with success. IL appears

most influential aud conservative In sentiment
There seems indeed at present scarcely Thought

does not feel anxious 10 have tho Judiciary con-

man and man, should be- wholly free from partial
titles and favors likely TO lean towards any indi-

otherwise. This 10 what has long been desired
and what the great popnlace aOw determined
to have. The feeling does not spring 80 much
from any special objection 20 the old Judges, who
have been in Office nearly fifteen years and are re-
nominated for another similar term, as Il does

indebted for the honors and smolnmcnts thus be-

| cannot but confess that our Baltimore Judiciary
has filled its mission well and honorably. with
ability aud impartiality; that the Judges indvid-
ually and collectively are gentlemen Of learning,
probity and high moral character but the prevail

our Judiciary separated from partilan influences.
IT, therefore, good independent ticket DO secured
under this Independent movement there !. no
doubt Of it, being largely and powerfully support

will make Judicial nomn ations but vote for the
independents.
Politics generally are in n decidedly uncertain
way here Just now. Even Democrats themselves
don't know cxacily-a they once did-how things
are going TO turn up or end under the new registry
Law. They by no means feel certain of victory. rs
the potential lever Of pudding tckctng and votin z
dead mems names will be taken away from them.

and Maryland prove to them rs Cincinnati and

amazing II Baltimore county wheeled into the
same line she occasionally has done heretofore.
There are many slips twx cups and lips.

a goodly number of these cratic fiery wonders in

however take no stock in the idea of IL possibly
being worse "bursied.up" than the Democratic
party now is in Baltimore.
The Baptist association which il 10 occupy the
new church now nearly completed. located on the
corner of II. Paul stree, and North avenue. in the
Belt. has organized and is ready TO worship there
in. When the entire structure IL finished Il will
make very attractive appearance.
{ The fall business Is quite active and eneourag-
ing in every department Of trade. There arc
more than the usual number Of country merchants
now in the city making their purchases. Dry
goods dealers especially are busy. Transactions
On the Corn and Flour Exchange are pretty large
but prices IL both four aud grain rather dcprcss-
Ell. Receipts are large aud deposits in the cleva-
tors heavy. An impression prevails among deal
ers that prices likely TO rule rather lev all fall
