BANGOR, (Me Oct. 81, 1874.
Prospects of the Whigs-Jeaiousy bst,ceen the Cal
houm and Van B~'sn toings of the Democratic
Party Liberty Party, &c.


There is not much Of interest to inform you
about in this section, at this particular time. The
political movements, with one exception, in this
State are not worthy of note. The exception is
the scramble for governmental patronage, by the
Calhoun wing OF the democratic party. John Ty-
Ter s literally beref with their petitions. Two
only, as yet, have succeeded in getting Office
Ben. Kingsbury and Virgil Delphini Paris. The
object OF this movement is apparent to all. The
applicants proceed on the presumption that il Polk
succeeds TO the Presidency, the Van Buren wing,
which is the most powerful in this State, would
monopoze all the places Of honor and profit, but
II they succeed In getting IN under Tyler, there
will be delicacy in regard TO displacing them
Hon. Gorham Parks, U s. District Attorney for
Maine, and other prominent men, are the leaders
OF the Calhoun wing, and they are most adroit and
experienced managers. They are partzans mere
ly, and their wits are unremittedly taxed with the
cOncocti0n OF schemes tor individual aggrandise-
ment. The Van Bnren men are, even now, trou-
Dled in spirit, and their support Of Polk will be
-spiritless, il, indeed, they do not absent
themselves from the polls Satisfy them that their
chance for Office is hopeless, and they would hold
up both hands tor the election OF Henry Clay. In
this view OF the case, the prospects of the wings,
even in Maine, is by no means hopeless. Bangor
will throw 400 more majority for the wings in No
vember than she did in September 1t is thought
The fall business here is brisk, and large quan.
titles OF lumber and potatoes will be shipped. The
rot has been peculiarly destructive to the latter.


Yours, NC. B.
