Washington, July 'l\.?The state of parties in tho country at this timo is somewhat confused. Tho old Whig party of tho Northern States went over ohicfly to the Republicans'or to. the Know-Nothings, and tho remainder to tho Democrats, at tno late Presidential election. In tho South (.he Whigs fused with the Domocrats or tho Know Nothings. There are signs everywhere tlmt ?the last named organisation cannot be maintained, and will ho abandoned. Tho Know Nolhiuga of tho North are, it appears, preparing.to go over, almost in a mass, to the Republicans; The Whig element of the party revolts at this fusion, iiiul will go h ick to t!io Whig camp, where nn independent few still keep their watch ffw. Tho Heptibllcan party, brought together under political excitement, finds its bondtf very weak, nnd every future election will show n dimunitiou of its strength. TliouHiinds of them, rill who are reasoning and conservative men, arc well Satisfied with the Walker-Kansas policy and disapprove of the iusnhordinato and factious Spirit of the Topeka men. The question is "whero shall they jro ( Events, partly local partly national, must determine that. Things now to ml either to a rc-organization of tho old national Whig party or to n fusion of all eonfiorrutivo elements into the Democratic party. The Republican party of New York hare not used their power with suck witdom and discretion an affords a promise of continued local predominance, and no one will be surprised at the next .State election to witufe?s a political revolution. Tho calculations which have been made upon the Success of the Republicans in 1HG0 ore without any solid basis, for tho party, instead of growing, has shown already signs of decadence. The August and fall elections for Congress, in several Southern States, arc looked to with some intercut, as indications ot tlio fate of Americanism in that quarter. There in neftrooly ;v doubt thnt tho Democratic party will have tho organization of tho llouso of Representative:'. [11 the -noxt Congress, neither North Americanism nor South Americanism will make much show ; hut it appears probable that a new party?a Central American party?may disclose itself?n party which may advocate a more decided and rigorous polioy in regard to our relations with Central America, than that which the administration may put forth.
