Letter from Senator Fran. We have already stated that an address "to the Whigs of Maryland" ,had appeared in the National Intetligencer from •Ex-Governor. Pratt, s Senator of Maryland. The position of the writer, as' the choice of the AVhi,sB of Maxylan4, imparts some interest-to his views upon the present aspect of political affairs, especially as he announces hi m self a support erof Mr. Buchanan. --We subjoin, some ex tracts from his letter showing the reasons for his preference of the Democratic nominee. Mr. Pratt commence'r as follows TO THE WHIGS - OF 31.111XLViD,_ In response to the communication received from many of my brother Whigs, I deem it in y privilev., in this manner, to counsel with all in - relation to the course which patriotism and duty would seem to indicate as proper in the present political crisis. No lover of his country- whose judgment is unbiassed by party zeal, and uncontrolled by northern or southern fanaticism, can fail to pee and deprecate the pending danger of the Union_ The first duty of every man who loves his country and her institutions is to provide for their safety. The life of the nation is in dan- ger. It must be saved then and not till then, will it be permissible to us to discuss our differences of opinion _upon minor sub jects. I say that the life of the Union is in danger, because, for the first time in our history, a party has been formed cum potied exclusiVely of citizens of one section of the country, bound together by the single bond of an alli ance for offensive warfare against the caller section. That the success of such ii party would imperil the •Union has been recently demonstrated by an address of Mr. Fillmore, and will, it is submitted, be apparent to all who will bestow a moment's consideration .upon the existing. posture of political affairs. We have hitherto disregarded the danger which'such a state of feeling and such a course of action would indicate as most imminent, because we have assumed that such sentiments and action could only be attributed to a small minority ofour Northern brethren. But now, when this sectional. exasperation has been made available for the inauguration of a par ty calling itself republican, under whose ban nery fur the first. time in the history of the country, this sectional opposition to Southern rights and int(!r,!it3 have united in nominating with alleged probabilities of success, a- purely sectional ticket for the Presidency arid Vice Presidency of the . United states, we can no longer shut our eyes to the reality of the threatened danger ; we cannot but feel that the success . of:Silelt a party would be the death knell of the Union. The unpatriotic purposes of this sectional party are but too manifest. Many of its stipporters avow their object and purpose to be disunion, and have even gone vo far in the madness of their fanaticism as to desecrate the flag of their country by obliterating, from its constellation the fif teen stars wh repre.ont the shareholding States, and d:splAying rts.th. irp ort!! banner* at flag with lint - , - I . s . .teen non-slaveholding States. It is. manifest that those who disavow the ob jectare not ignorant of the inevitable result. The Whigs of Maryland, whom I have the honor to address, need no proof to convince thent that calamitous conseq aencess would flow from-the success of this-sectional-party. 'They each and all know that the election of. Mr. Fremont, and . the administration of the gov ernment by hiin upon the principles of his party., would necessarily occasion a dissolu tion.of the federal Union, to which they have been taught to loo'- as the source of national vtrength, of ind.yidu LI prosperity and happi ness.

The motive being the integ rity of the Union, the defeat of a party which is founded on geographitar •diserinunations and hound together by dangerous sectional schemes, the act will be vindicated by disin terested patriotism. "Whatever the result, I Shall be content if the dangerous excitement which threatens our peace and union can be calmed down, so that the extie ne opinions which have their roots in prejudice and passion, may wither away. I Then a liberal forbearance and kindly tolera tion of different sentiments may resume their I influence. if this (cannot be done, if the South and the North are to regard one another as enemies, then sooner or later our "house, di- i vided against itself," must fall.

A Party Wortily.of the Empire State, The intelligence of the harmonious action ' of the New York Democratic Convention, which flashed 'along' the telegraphic wires on' Thursday, has been gloriously confirmed by the mails. The Union is perfect,. No mere truce—amongst-factions, 'but a cordial — and - , complete incorporation of the Democracy into one united arid resistless host. The proceed ings of the Convention are characterized by forbearance, concession, and magnanimity on all sides. The State ticket was named by ac clamation, and. it is one of which it may be said emphatically, that "the offices hi G tve s9ngb t the men."

The President con ceiving that.there are insuperable obstacles to the action now demanded. referred the subject to the Attorney General, whose decision he ap proves. Mr. Cushing argues that there is no evidence in the Governor's statements, or other authen• tie information, that in what has occurred at San Francisco there was committed or threat ened any act of resistance or- obstruction 'to the constitution, law ur official authority of the United States.

The Cincinnati "Weekly imes," (a paper stongly opposed to Mr. Be chanan's election,) of the - 2titli ult., has the following remarks in reference to this subject : 2\ - 01 Rifyht Truy.—We see that some of Our exchange papers that are opposed to the election of Mr. Buchanan, are now urging Etgain. , i him that he once advocated the redue • ton of wages in this country to.ten cents per day.

At no time since the foundation of our Republic, Ices there been a period-when such an assumption would) not have raised a storm from the toil ing millions, that would have wrecked the hopes of any political aspira tit ft wever. Cast ing aside fur an instant, the fact that, as a stateFman, James Buchanan well knows that' nathoi can never acquire strength' upon such a miserable' pittance per dicta, that the advocacy of such a proposition was most ab surd, and throwing it solely upon the groom! that .noither policy for any present. or future advantage could accrue . to its manor, we re ,peat it, we do not believe - that he ever uttered such a sentiment.
