POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.—The Baltimore Clipper, a native American paper in denying the charge that the Know Nothings have attached themselves to the whig party, says:——

The late charter election in Annapolis resulted in the choice of a gentleman for Mayor who was formerly a whig—a majority of the City Councils who were known as Democrats. Had the Know Nothings acted solely with the whigs the whole whig ticket would have been chosen. In Westminster, the Mayor elect, Frank Shriver, Esq. and a majority of the Council, were democrats. In Washington, it is true the Mayor elect, Mr. Towers was formerly a whig—and equally true that sixteen out of the thirty members of the City Councils were democrats. In view of above facts, we submit that any man who will hereafter assert that the Know Nothing party, (if there be such a party,) is the "whig party in disguise," will utter a foul calumny.
