Letter of Hon. Daniel 8. Dickinson.
BIEeHAMPToN. Oct. 81, 1853.
NY DEAR SIR--Isna moment from my
engagements in our Circuit, now sitting, to
respond to your kind invitation to address the
meeting Of "the National Democrats of old
Genesee," and to say tits impossible for me
to leave the business Of my clients for sin
gle hour without doing them great injustice,
or would be with you. When the "free
soil" movement first reared its snaky head
did not personally fear its form, and now that
it is, after having beeh slain, under the. gal
vanic influence, q 0ftsspatronage, making
a formidable spasmodic effort, neither
choose to be deceived by;it appearance nor
alarmed by its threats. The "lree soil"
movement, although IT'D leaders were demag-
ogues and hypocrites, had some honest men
in its rank and file. Their leaders having
deserted them, and become by miraculous
conversion what they were SO recently wont
to term "doughfaces," will no longer be fol-
lowed by those who was sincere, but left
becoming associations---those who have hun
ger to reward or enemies to punish. Saul of
Tarsus was converted from an opponent to a
supporter or christianity by a light which
shone round about him; and a voice which en-
qured the cause Of his prosecuting spir it.
But the Stree soil" leaders Of lS4S were con-
verted from the "principles offreedom,, to be-
come, according to tesir own choice vocabu-
larry which they have 80 long and so loudly
employed against democrats, "doughfaces,"
and the upholders Of "man stea)ers," not by
the lights whi ch overwhelmed the Apostle,
but by the lights Of public patronage, and the
voice Of those who put up the public Offices,
