Dinner 10 senator D,ck,r.on.

i o THE Hon. DANIkL >. DICKINSON
DEAR SIR The undersigned, your democratic
republican fellow citizens of the city and county Of
New loik and neighborng countless sincerely de-
sire TO express in person, high apprr ciation of
your services in the councils OF the confederacy.
For that purpose we beg you to name early
day, when your high duties will permit you 10
me etus at public dinner, when we may have the
opportunity of giving full uterance TO the senti-
ments OF respect aud confidence with which your
distinguished political services to our common
country have inspired US.
From the commencement Of our national exis-
tence, the intelligent observer has discovered but
one element in our circumstances or condition from
which 10 apprehend incL.-ble discord among
citizens, or serious peril TO the duration OF the re-
public. SO To regulate the action of government in
respect to that element as TO preserve harRony and
TO avert the consequent peril has been the constant
effort of The American sage and patriot-for the
OF such eforts the prayers of the wise and
virtuous in every cline have been enlisted, for il
has not escaped notice how deeply our fate, as
nation, involves the fortunes of mankind That the
great experiment commenced here, and hitherto
uumphantly carried forward, may not be checked
in its career must be desired by the Philanthropist
wherever found. But TO accomplish this purpose
enjoins upon the patriotic statesman the exercise Of
the same prudence, forbearance, and generosity
which characterised the course of the original fra
meis of the constitutions; and il has fallen TO your
lot and ours during the deeply interesting period of
your tenn as representative of this State in the Sc
nate Of the Union, TO witness the necessity of the
constant exercise of spirit of forbearance to pre-
serve our Union from the severest trial of its
strength.
In the trying crisis through which our country,
and, we may add, the cause of the world freedom,
and of republicanism is passing, the State of
New York is most fortunate in being repre-
IN the Senate of the Union by one whose patriotism
soars above the level of tIme-servng purposes and
whose eminent talents and moral worth command
respect both in the State he represents and in the
councils Of the nation.

Were these rumors to obtain general credence,
the effect would be very different from what
some Of the letter writer's and their employers
anticipate. They would see evaporation, but
not fear. Northern men would be steeled against
compromise, ard not few Of them would prepare
to take part in the scenes which it is said are
about to be enacted here.
But, such rumors are ridiculous. Members Of
Congress are very peaceable, well-behaved set Of
gentlemen. We see no indication of disposition
to use bowie-knife or bludgeon. They take
things easily, sit three hours day, improve eve
ry opportunity furnished by the decease OF a
member for HOLIDAY, and adjourn over from
Thursday or Friday till Monday, every week.
The last week was absolutely fiat-both Houses
we're dreadfully dull - the chief enjoyment Of
members seemed 70 be, airing themselves on
Pennsylvania avenue We have never seen Con-
gress or the city less excited.
We hope the good People abroad will remem-
Der two things-lst, that certain newspapers live
by the circulation Of extraordinary, exciting as
founding news and rumors; and, IDLY, that there
is always tremendous competition among letter
writer's as to who shall promulgate the latest and
most startling intelligence, and the most signih-
cant portents Of coming events

TILE PAST WEEK

Has not been marked by much excitement The
debates in Congress generally were without much
interest The absence of Mr.. Foote from the
Senate on account of sickness lessened the attrac
tions of that body, as a theatre for dramatic en-
tertainment The feelings of the Southern men,
bers in both Houses have apparently undergone
a slight change for the better. There has been
less menace we have had more argument. Mr.
Toombs' speech was very fair and temperate
Mr.. McWillie's was extravagant, but without
weight The Northern members, Col Baker of
Illinois, Mr. Sackett of New York, Mr.. Vandyke
of New Jersey, sustained themselves credtably
The speech of Mr. Parker of Virginia was good
tempered
The letter-writers were busy, and discovered
that a challenge had passed between Colonel
Davis of Mississippi and Colonel Bissell of Hill
nois; but that, through the intercession Of the
President, the challenge had been Withdrawn, and
bloodshed prevented. All the public was permitted
to see was q short correspondence in the Union
between the two military Congressman in which
Colonel Davis asked Colonel Bisscl whether he
meant to reflect upon the Mississippi regiment
Colonel Bissell wrote out the remarks he had made
in debate concerning that regiment, and stated
that he had done justice to the dead without dis
paraging the living. So this matter went over.
As to the end of the world, which was to take
place last Monday, according to the etter-wrters,
the world suffered disappointment. People had
come from a distance to see what was to be seen,
and were dazzled with the crowds of pretty ladies
in the Senate Chamber and galleries of the
ments brilliant as sublunary wealth could make
them.
IL is said that one of the Senator's has kindly
granted repreve TO the North Of one week,

ous friends lie is reduced to mere skeleton,

the ladies thronged the floor; the galleries were
crowded. The speech contained no new state

what Mr. Calhoun has been in the habit for many
ve,rs past of saying and predicting We saw no
indications of any extraordinary sensation or i'm
preston produced by it.
All our readers will be curious to read the
speech and, crowded as the Era is, we have de-

RUMORS OF THREATENED VIOLENCE.

Letter writer's in Washington sent of last
week divers letters to the North, announcing that
the following Monday, Southern men would pro-
coed to the Capitol, armed with deadly weapons,
then and there TO take vengeance on their adver-
saries, break up Congress, and revolutionize the
Government Others not in possession Of this
extraordinary intelligence, were full OF dark
hints, and, should they tell all they knew about
the secret carrying of weapons by the members,
the country would be shocked The Southern
members by their silence gave countensnce to
these foolish reports, apparently willing to be
libelled as conspirators that the country might
be duly impressed with their daring courage and
formidable power.
Can it be possible that these gentlemen sup
pose that they can frighten Northern People 2
