Msssrs Editors The weather here is very
warm. Old Sol revels in all his strength,
shedding his hottest rays upon US suffering
mortals.
The Patriot of this evening took its Wing
friends somewhat by surprise. An article in
that paper, eaptioned sold Parties Disbanded, >
written with Mr. Burwells accustomed ability,
while it deals meat axe blows at the harmO-
neous Democracy, thus walks into the Wings
"The disorganization of the wings has really
been completed by the rspaoity with which
the Northern sections Of that party clutch at
the control of the government 1t is thought
that the issue of slavery or freedom is like to
be more profitable than that Of an ad valorem
or specific tariff. They have, therefore, for
mslIy given notice to their Southern brethren
that the partnership heretofore existing be-
tween them has terminated. Not only has the
Hon. Mr.. Seward announced this ominous
issue of freedom and Slavery as the sole ques-
ton for popular decision, but the Hon. Mr.
Wade, of Ohio, and others have declared the
final separation Of the whig party. This is
confirmed by the Northern whig press general
iy. The New York Tribune, the admitted
organ Of the free-soil movement, consummates
a series of indiscriminate insults to the South,
by proposing "a Basis of effort" upon which
II proposes to unite the whole forces Of the
North"
There is considerable excitement among our
veto on the consolidation and completion of
the susqueh anna railroad. have yet to see
the first merchant, Wing OF Democrat, who
sustains the Mayor. Yesterday, q resolution
was brought forward in the second branch of
the Council TO pass the bill over the veto
which lacked four of a two third vote 1t
may yet pass in spite of the Mayor. Many
set Mr.. Hollins down a Know Nothing, and
contend that he would be the ablest exponen.
of their views that that association could pre-
sent at the coming election.
In the absence of other excitement our
amateur fresh water sailors are getting up boat
races. The frst race will come of on Thurs
day, between a fast sailor, the {. Ben Bolt
and a new and untried craft called the know
Nothing" The odds are in favor of the old
'un.
Miss White, daughter of the editor of the
SOuther7i Literary Messenger, Is about to
give Shakspearean readings in this city. She
IL lady of acknowledged ability.
Mr. Baylor, late of the Times of this city
IS, am told, about to retire from the arduous
duties anu responsibilities of an editor There
Is no truth in the assertion that he is about to
start daily paper In your city. If Baltimore
with 225,0O0 Inhabitants, and but six daily pa.
pers, could not appreciate his talents, (even
his enemies accord him ability as a writer0 he
has sense enough to know that W sshington,
with but 30 900 people, and FIVE daily papers
would do at least no better. Mr.. Baylor has
been engaged by one of the largest houses
here, at good salary and with an interest in
the profits Of the business to visit Antwerp,
and act as permanent resident agent for the
disposition of American cotton. The enter
prise will no doubt, prosper. Mr. Baylor
well known tact and perseverance fit him for
this position.
