Thus defeated in nearly all’its champions, it has been equally powerless to defeat tho anti- Le compton Democrats who were running.beiore the people;, and tho gallant, Senator, who had incurred its most inveterate hostility, was tri umphant in spite of ail its desperate machina tions. . The Adminiatratienista ot tho North hivei dwindled into a minority so moagre that they hardly deserve to ho classed as a party; and it is painfully true, that those who still rally under its banner, are only held together by the « cohesive power of public plunder.” It. wonld have been utterly impossible for human or' Satanic ingenuity to have devised a system,more, prejudicial to the welfare of that party than that which Mr.'BuonANAH and bis safeliltes hSvofinventcd. ■ , It.ls vain. to,expect its resuscitation by the future, policy of those who have used their power’ and" unwisely.

X.etter from Washington. * [Oorreßpondeoce of The Prew.] i , 1 Washington, Deo. 31, 1858. , Tho lost California mails, by Panama and To* huantepeo, bring numbers of letters to tho .Cali fornians in Washington, some of watch I navo boon permitted to read. . ic The'elections ip the Northern States had created the ulinOftexoltement, especially the result In Illi nois.., Gannons wore fired, and Illuminations im provised in all tho loading towns, and tho wlldost enthusiasm prevailed; not merely among Demo crats. but among the people of all parties. In San Francisco, Sacramento, Stookton, Saint Ma* ry?a, Nevada. Benecic, immenso orowds assembled to : congratulate each other upon the overthrow of Executive'usurpation, and the Vindication of the Independence of the representative. We gather from * these letters the seoret of the Adminis tration triumph in the-late election in Califor nia; Adroit efforts were made to show that Mr. Douglas had surrendered to the English bill; and these, together with Gov. Walker’s letter to Cox, of Ohio, created dn Improssion that the Administration had succeeded in breaking down the true men of tho Demooraoy, and that the anti-Lecompton Democrats in Congress had surrendered. I need not tell you that in Califor nia a vast amount of patronage is at tho dispo sal of the ore&tares of the Federal Government. When it is remembered that one of the officials, only a few years ago. was a defaulter in nearly half a million of dollars, you will see what immense power is ;put 'ln the hands of tho dependents of the -President in that State.* The money expended in the fortification of the coast, and for various other objects, most of it exponded from Califor nia, is used with terrific-power, and never was so industriously' employed to put- down a good cause as in the late flections. The great dis tance' of-California from the seat of the Federal Government -enables desperate men to start any falsehood that may - serve their- masters;San Fjjanoi&eo is nearer to China in point of time and distance than to Washington; and the true men 1 may be in tho majority in California ;and yet be overridden by the' officeholders, who are paid ta misrepresent and to deoelve. Sinoo the, extraor dinary intelligence of the eleotionsin the various free States received,however. there will be a vigorous and immediate organisation of all the opponents of usurpation and prosoripiion, •whloh will most certainly control all that portion of the Pacific sea-board whichconfesses allegiance to*the American flag_ 1 I ought to mention that in all the meetings held in Oalifornia the utmost enthusiasm prevailed in favor ibf Stephen' A-. Douglas. .His name seemed to,be.the watchword -and the talisman; ho wae aftoaya strong with the masses'of .the Golden State, but his triumph has made him irresistiblo. Thepeoplo of California arein'costaelos relative to, tho favorable prospeetß of tho groat Paoiflo rail road. North and South, East and West, all stand forward in rapport of this mighty work. Nothing can defeat it In Congrose but a sectional struggle —>rar between those who expeot to make monoy otitof it, or difference among the leaders in the projeot as to the latitude in whioh tho main trunk shall run. Mr. Senator Broderiok, who has wise ly preferred porfeot independence to slavish sub serviency to Executive dictation, and who boldly takes a publio stand against tho grossest treachery and proscription in oar annals, is laboring night and dpy to push this great achievement through. Jlis peouliar position, except among the extreme flat terers of the Administration, gives him great Weight in the Senate and in tho House; and tho fact that he has no “axes to grind,” either for himself or his friends, enables him to act with ten fold energy. I would advise those who are interested in a praotieal revision of the revenue laws to' come hero and state their coso to the regular commit tees of the House and Senate at an early day Heretofore the difficulty in regard to the interests of Pennsylvania has been that mere jobbers and speoulators have assumed to represent these in terests, and have not hesitated to demand pay for their “ services.” I believe, if a number of men like Joseph Harrison, Jno.TuckcLHiestcrH. Muh lenberg, David D ' Wagner, Wilson M’Oandless, James Nill, George N. Eckert, Wllmer Worthing ton, John Grigg, Morris Hoopes. James M. Hop kins, and men of similar standing in Now Jersey and New York, would spend & week in Washing ton, thoy could make such a statement to tho Pre sident, the Cabinet, and Congress, ns would result in framing a bill that would stand the test of years. I knoto that there is a friendly disposition In cer tain quarters, among the Southorn men, to agree to each a basis on this question as would bo entirely satisfactory all around. Look for a moment at the strength , on ibis question, of a solid delegation from Pennsylvania, Now Jersey, and nearly so from New York—in all some sixty votes from tbeso three great States! What a power tbeir votes' could wield for this or any cause! Why should they not act togother and present, if you please, a project to CoDgress, leaving Congress to reject or accept ? Represent ing, as they would, nil the great parties of tbo country, they would not ask for.a prohibitory tariff or a restiiotivo duty, but only for such a common senso plan as would be in nooordaneo with the President’s suggestions and the teachings of experience. Asau evidenoo of the healthy tone prevadcs the country on the subject, a gen tleman now here from'MUcouri, who has taken pains to inquire among the people of his region, assures me that the entiro delegation from that State would he cheerful in approving their repre sentatives for voting for a modification of the pre sent tariff as I have repo&tedly suggested in these etters. There has been much less assault upon tho appeal of Pennsylvania in favor of her own interests in the Southern States than ever £ have known before I repeat, now is the time to strike if wo really desire a permanent arrangement qf tho tariff. ; By a singular coinoideßce, tho nows by tbo ‘Empire-State, from Cuba, announcing that nplot is on foot to inoite an insurrection in that islund, with a viorr to tho declaration of independence, arrived almost simultaneously with thepublioation of an article In the Washington Union. The news arrives on Thursday, and tho Union's arti cle, winking at such a solution of our difficulties with Spain, is printed on the samo day 1 I be lieve it is Gen. Cashing who declares that Spain will no more surrender Cuba to this country than we would ogree to surrender Pennsylvania to Groat Britain. Cuba is unquestionably the goose that lays the golden egg, and tho proud Castilians are not yet ready to kill tho goose, or rather, to let her fly. The time was when wo might have pur chased Cuba from Spain, but Ido not see how this is possible at present. With the groat sohemo of tho Paoiflo Railroad ponding before the two houses, and other immediate domestic questions, and the certain expenditure of an enormous amount of the public money, this is impossible. 'Tho Pacific Itailroad must be built, if built at all, with tho money of the people. It is a gross absurdity to talk of aocompHehing that indispen sable highway in any other manner. Will (ho people then agree to grant Mr. Buchanan the poWer which he asks tajmgotiate for the purchase of Gabft? I don’t think- so. - In course of time Cuba wiH become an integral portion of the Ame I fiicyi regret if this scheme to inoito an insurno tion inHUo island should.bo treated in any £star yroj than' as unworthy of consideration and ro .gard. , ' * - f, .. •' fhe organisatiotieof officeholders and others agiiihst Judge Douglas, in this olty, was a very strong one until withjn the last, two months.

We have been tempted to grum ble ourselves. But when we thus look back' over the year that is now passing away, we feel ashamed as oy ingratitude, aud we hope that we, with all our fellow men, wilt be able to greet the New Tear in trne thank fulness to God that our day of adversity has passed, and that His hand has led us so soon againWo renewed' activity of labor and trade, and bestowed upon us tho blessing of conflderice and brotherly good will in busi ness circles.
