accustomed to making concessions, that the
late extraordinary demands upon their patience
have excited little surprise. 1t should oe
horne in mind, howeverS that at the moment
when the most audacious demands are beng
made. citizens of the free states are prescribed

LETTERS FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. IS, 1860.
Yesterday was an important day in the cri
sis through which our country is passing, and
the speech OF Senator Wade of Ohio will be
long remembered. Since last Thursday public
expectation had been on tiptoe as to what
Wade would say, for as thus far, the republi.
cans had kept silent, it was presumed land
probably rightly that he would indicate the
course that the party in congress intended to
pursue. An hour, yes two hours, before he
commenced speaking the galleries were
densely crowded. After some preliminary
business had been disposed of, the "orders Of
the day" were called up, and "Old Zen
Wade" began his speech. His manner as a
speaker is not very charming. He has no
beauties of rhetoric or eloeution, no finely
rounded periods but in force, terseness, ear
nestness, and power, he is well worth going
miles to hear. | will attempt no sketch OF his
speech, for the electric wires have sent that 10
you hours ago; but of its effect you may
say il was exasperating to the defiant extrem-
lists, many OF whom from the house writhed
under it badly while in the saloons and hotels
it was most excitedly canvassed. The repub.
licans are elated over it, and stand by its doc
trine fully and squarely.
After he had finished, Wigfall walked over
and shook hands with him, and thanked him
for his bold answer of the intended policy of
his party. [Speaking of Wigfall, let me say
the press of the north have much underrated
him He is a man of culture, good speaker,
and very genial in his manners, though bitter
and coarse in his political debates.
To-day the debate was continued, and Crit
tenden of Kentucky, delivered one OF the
most impressive speeches l ever listened to.
You remember HAT lie is more than three
score and ten, his locks are whitened by the
flosis Of over seventy years and more, and his
voice is weak and tremulous with age. In
days gone by, he was the companion OF Clay,
Webster, Calhoun and Benton, and when
speaking today, and pleading for the preser
walton OF the Union, it seemed as though his
youthful vigor had come back to him again,
while his voice was pathetic, and tears glisten.
ed in his eyes, and flowed freely among his
auditors, as he painted the glores of an Amer.
ican Union, and depicted the effect of diyid-
ed republic. His compromise resolutions,
however were most unjust to the NORTH and
can say to you that they will not be accepted
by the republicans. Hale, of New Hampshire
followed him, and made capital off.hant
speech, some passages Of which were CRANE
and telling Andrew johnson of Tennessee
who followed Hale, is dull, heavy speaker

Globe for what he had to say. Perhaps il
