I The Political Events of 1858.
jThe year which lias terminated lias
bpbn one of great political. sjgniflcaqco, qqd
will occupy a prominent position.in theansaiS;
of the country. With all! tho. powers of the
‘Government—executive, legislative and judl-,
tjal—in the bands ofthen elected or appointed
by the Democracy, it has been ono o£ tho moat
''disastrous years to that party, that has occur
lyed since tho foundation of tho Government.
i s ltB_9neo compact and united legions havo
been broken and'Shattered,, and the stoutest
sirongholis of its power have repudiated its
npmiiiebs.' "Ffbm bcing an organization with
h;hr6ad»nationsl platform, snffleientiy compre-;
■hensive to embrace all tho'great interests of
the cquntry, .and sufficiently jnst to command
the.respect and tha'snffrages of 1 a iargo.hody'
.ol’citizens in all portions of tho Union, the ef
fort'h'as been persistently mado, to degrade it,
intoamiftorablo one-idea! party,' with no pur
pose,' tip ' concentrated action,’ no vigorous
movement, except'tooxecuto’tho behests'of a
fqw, .nltfeisf#. ,; ! in former times tho Democrat
cy delighted, tb ridiculo apd denounce the va
rious antagonistic .parties that,'arose against
them because they were one-idea organizations,
and this,has.'been one. of the, most-effective
accnsations hronght against them. Tho Ame
rican party was' denounced tor the narrowness
of itsplatfornij bCcauso it only aimed at a
limitation of the rights, of adopted' citizens.
Tho Abolition and, Republican parties wore
denounced, as unworthy and, contracted be-,
’cause,.they' had mo sympathies; beyond
'tlio,!-narrow . 01r0i0,,,0f questions' involv
ing the extinction or non-extension of sla-'
•very.' Bnt what IS, tho distinctive platform
ofi'dhe ,‘Doni'oeratiq. party, ;to-day," npder
tlio ruling of its would-be masters and diota
tdrs?' Upon whaf queßtion is ,an effort mado
tq epfoyo’d unify ,bfVaction and ,qf sentiment i.
,Iq it upon' the'tariff? The President and the
Secrdfary "differ alumst, as
“widely .upon this', question as two men oan.
■id Its upon the Pacifio Railroad bill 7 One of
Tlio btaubchest'friends of the 1 Administration,
'Setiator Mason, of Yijjginia, has boldly an
togonlzed this 1 pieaSntO In tho Senate, though
It'waßrecbmmdndedih'tho strongest termsby
the President; and he (Mason) will doribtleßS
,qa assisted throughout tbo wbole straggle,on
tlio bili l,ya largo body of the Administration
foVces.' .Is lt upon the question of snppress
ingfilibustorism ? Some of the confldants'of
tho Admlnistration denounced the policy of
tho’President in’the harshest terms. ' Is it'
iipon. the affairs ,of 'OontralAmerica? .• Wo
have heard of no tests imposed oh any issne of
that character, 'is it in regard to Cuba, or
’Moxico ? So far, at, least, there has been no
:Bh’ow of enthusiasm or earnestness in snpport
qf the , recommendations of the meßsage in re
ference to those countries, or, any.disposition
to, ostracise men'.who do'not feel disposed to
sustain them.' But while these -wide di
-vargenees; have’ been permitted’ to pass un
'questioned, and while - no serious effort has
be'en'tnadq to close up,the. Democratic column
•«vffO ap.ttio uem
ihjsupport of the Presidential views on any of
these' ( 'qf.eslions J ''and nono of' tho Usual'appU
knees to enforce partisan discipline have been
called into reqnisitlohi'it Seems to have been
tacitly admitted' that.. tho Presidential judg
ment Is.as.fallible as that of any ordinary
mortal,;* save only, when, in a moment of
capvardice,’. ' of .treachery, .and-of lolly,-Mr.
BnouAtfAn lent himseif to an effort to enforce
a hideous wrong * and to .sustain him in tills,
a'degree of intolerance and of despotism
has been manifested which'would disgrace tho
radst corrupt and tyrannical throne on the face
ofi the .earth. There, seems to bo but one
idea'tfiat onr rulers hold to.be' worthy of. iffe
united support of ..the Democraticparty.; but
one' purpose that all. its energies shonld.be'
enlisted' to accomplish ; bnt one . mission , that
Should call into active exercise all the mighty
powers it is known, to possess—abd that is to
■forcaVslavery'. upon the Territories ■of tho
United' States' in defiance of the will of the
pqopio who, are to inhabit them.' There is but
'one heresy recognised by' those Who.arrogantly
assume to dictate the laws which'are to govern
[that,isdo endeavor
to! extend to thepooplo of onr Territories the
.rightto fairly* form'and- regulate the iastltu
tions .undor.'.whichithoy are to Uvd. ; , All past
glories, and all .past platforms are to be merged
under this now ruling into one common con
;'{rkbted,, .cbntre,. of , antagonism to popular
liberty! and while all-who confess'this creed
[caff enjoy perfect; freedom off opinion ‘ ojialj '
other subjects, and.are to bo esteemed pillars
of the 'Democratic temple,' those who still
faithfuUy adhora to ■ tho prinoigle of popular
.Sovereignty are' tobe, pursued and hunted 1
down with remorseless and undying malignity;
Bpt'whiie ‘4868 .has rwitiiessod this effort to
convert the Democratic party into a miserable
one-ideaed organization j it has also witnessed
the spirit i with ■ which the country viewed
this' experiment; Of all . the' Northern
Congressional districts, scarcely a dozen have
been carriedby the Administration candidates:
and in nearly, every case whore its votaries
haye been successful, they have triumphed
only by a repudiation ef its doctrines. 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. The
odor ofHhelr misdeods wllil oling to them for
years to cbme, and wo seO no indications that
they .will be able to regain that national confi
dence which they- have so. justly forfeited,
j The treasury Is. exhausted—the expenses of
the Government bavo,exceeded its legitimate
resources to an unprecedented extent—and in
the', midst of events indicating that the na
tional credit will be seriously jeopardised
Unless onr revenue laws aro promptly revised,
the Administration . has neutralized its in
finence on this great practical question by
.ipaking conflicting recommendations to Con
gress, and,virtually inciting its adherents to
[diversity and imbecility of action, While this
Unfortunate, financial condition does not re
ceive that' serious and earnest consideration
which it'iinperutively demands, other branches
|-Of .the public servico are similarly neglected.
The' filibusters set our laws at defiance, and
have no difficulty in eyading the vigilance of
(he officials;entrusted with the duty of pre
venting them from depnrting from onr shores
. upon their marauding expeditions. The Afri
can Blave trade has been revived upon our coast,
and the efforts to punish those engaged in it ap
pear to bo totally Ineffectual. From present in
dications, it appears to be not at all improbable
that wo shall shortly havo as many slaves im
ported trom Africa into tho United States as
have, of late years, boon taken into Cuba, and
that our officiate will become as accommoda
ting,- or as inefficient, as the Spanish officials
in'Ouba are known to be; and if tho Adminis
, rration ,is permitted to control the organization
of the Democratic party, the prediction of the
Chicago; times} that tho next new test will he
tho advocacy, of a revival of tho slave trade;
will, probably, be realized. -
j We stilljook forward, heyyover, bopeiblly
to the. future. ■ Tbo influence of power and pa
tronage grows with each now day loss and less
.potent, and tho timo will soon come when the
voice of reason and justice will bo hoard, and
when the beatings of the" popular' heart will
throb so loudly that thej*will drown the drow
sy olamors oftho Administrationists.' Wo
trnfct that a hopeful future will dawn upori ns,
when a vigorous policy,, national in its char
acter, and congenial to the genius of our in
stitutions, will cOmMand the approval of the
country; and when the government of tho na

did not mako his first joke until Thursday,
when ho took tho Gothamites by surprise, un

rival to tho late, Mr. Joseph Milieu, of faco
tions and dramatiCj memory, ~
;On Thursday tho New ; Yorkers favored the
lion. James,L. Onn, Speaker of the National
House of Representatives, with a public re
ception-in tho .City- Hall. -Tho Common
Cbuncil had voted-“ the freedom of.tho city;’'
to Mr. Oaa, and Mayor Tiemann made an ad
dress to him on the occasion—a brief ad-
but'expressive. - Ho said, (wo quote
from ttfo'iVeui York Times:) “l am giadTto
b4 jibe happy medium of tho Common Council
itrofForihg to yon the hospitalities'of, the city
61 New York, which Is not:only the capital of

- This is very. New Yorkish. Only, as ho
went' so far, wo wonder that tho worshipful
Mayor did not go the full length of claiming
How York to - bo the metropolis of the whole
world.. Ho. should “not do things by halvos.
Cannot, tho City Treasurer afford five dollars
for. the purchase of 'Webster’s Dictionary,
thjnt Mr. Tiemann might learn the actual and
relative signification .of the words capital,and
metropolis t New-York, as “metropolis of,
the whole Union” is the;crowning joke of
1858; ‘ Mayor Tiemann’b reputation as a-wlt

BY MIDNIGHT MAIL.
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.

‘Empire-State, from Cuba, announcing that nplot

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

FINANCIAL ANI) COMMERCIAL,
The Money Market.
PniLißSLniu, Deo. 31,1858.
The dismal weather of to-day possesses a depressing
influence upon every kind of business, and particularly
upou the buying and selling of stocks. . But though
the transactions were limited, all the shares and bonds
were firm at previous prices, while Beading advanced
to 28#-
The year closes with gloomy weather; bnt not with,
that featful gloom that hung chilly round the hearts of
men when the last hours of its predecessor were cum
bered. By looking back to that < time of idleness and
want, and scarcity and suffering In every shepo, with
banks unable to moet their liabilities in real money,
with merchants, manufacturers, and mechanics involved
alike in hopeless insolvency, when every man in active
business looked upon his fellow with fear, suspicion;
and and by then examining our present posi
tion, we shail be best able to see how very far we hare
advanced from the depths of despondency towards the
bright goal of busy, hoping, aud successful industry.
But a single year ago wo were all in darkness, distress
and fr Ar; now we have fairly emerged into the glad sac
shine of commercial life, which will not be long in re
gaining noonday splendor. We have heard many com
plaints of the dullness of trade, of stagnation, of labor
and time not fatly employed, or not so profltablyen
gaged as in, days past. 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. We ere bidden in the day of prosperity
to be joyfal; let us In our Joy look above the laws of
trade, and human prudence and forMfght, .to Him who
jalone “glveth the Increase." '

Da. C. M. Jaokson. Sir: It affords me great plea,
sure in speaking a word for your most excellent §lenran
Bitters.
BeiDg persuaded by a friend, about three months ago,
to tTj your Bitters for a pain in the slle, dyspepsia
giddiness in the head, loss of appetite, general debility!
Ac , I purchased a bottle, and finding so moch relief
from it I tried a second and a thinl bottle, with the same*
beneficial results as'heformer ones.' I have tried almost
every meJicine, but none gave me bo much relief as
your German Bitters, and injustice toysurself, and for
the good of persons afflicted with the above complaints*
,1 take this plan of recommending them to ail.
