DANIEL 9. DICKINSON ON THE WAR.

We print this morning speech delivered on
Monday, in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, by the
Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson, on the duty Of good
citizens at the present crisis in our affairs. Rising
high above the partisan, Mr. Dickinson speaks as
becomes the patriot. Surveying the past, the
present, and the future, he prOclams his unswer'-
ing devotion to the Constitution OF his country ana
calls upon all LOYAL citizens to rally to the standard
of tbe Union. This causeless rebellion against
benefcent Government must be subdued at all
hazards. The heart of the South is loyal; but her
people, dazzled by INSCRIPTIONS demagogues'
whose lust of power has melted them to tnls
crime against their country, are Other
deluded, or oyerbOrne by the storm OF
Secession. To the traitors We must mete out
speedy Justice; to the loyal we must extend aid
10 free them from the yoke which now ensayes
them; and lie was well satisfied to-day that
majority of the South were Unionists at heart.
We never had a sectional controversy that justl-
fed civil war. Compromise might always heal
the differences between the sections. But since
the sword had been unsheathed, only traitors
and towards would dare talk Of compromising
with armed rebellion. We cannot sustain the
Union by compromising with treason. The is,ue
had been chosen and LET those that take the
sword perish by the sword. Referring to Mr..
Lincoln's alleged usurpations, about which the
"peace mel" raise such howl, he said he was
not quite sure that jeff Davis g. Co. had quite
cOnformed to the Constitution; he said:
"Iknow not whether Mr. lincoln has observed the Co nu
indeed for resisting the rebellion care not
eioh how he
faith put down the rebellion be has rot done all
things would have done them because would have multi
piled bis men by about four he blow
Would bsve struck dom Lsnshter snd cheering Therefore
do agree with him in that respect When tic day comes
have settlement with him. foI he il 70 DO held with all
other officers strict sccount But would not do even that
/ under the smoke Of an enemys guns"
In reference to the suspension OF the witt OF
habeas corpus he said: " If / had possession of
ga traitor, and no other remedy would arrest
- treacbery, / would suspend the writ, and tho
(" individual too" Mr.. Dickinson utterly scouted
the idea of putting down the rebellion by any
other means than by the strong arm. To do
that We must forget partiSanship, aud patriotic.
ally move forward shoulder to shoulder, as one
man, in defense Of the Union and the Constlu.
ton. SO should we have peace aud prosperity.
But if we tempered with treason, compromised
with armed Rebels we should only lay up for
ourselves never-euding harvest of anarchy and
civil strife.
We commend the warm hearted utterances Of
Mr.. Dickinson to the men who assume to repre-
sent the Democracy OF the Empire State.

THE FOUNTAIN OF BITTER WA.
TRRa

We would not if we could prescribe the course
to be pursued by our Government with regard
10 the chief source of our National trials. On
that matter, the wisest may well think twice
before speaking once. Kentucky--Maryland-
Missouri-Delaware--We Yirgina-Eastern
Tenne.see--the muzzled but not utterly stifled
Unonism of North Carolina and other revoted
States-all demand thoughtful consideration. IL
is easy to say, Slavery has rebelled against
" and sought to destroy the Republic-Slayery il,
" an insurgeut and an outlaw-Slavery must
"die"-yet the practical question results
/" What then 2" Has not the Union enemies
enough on its hands, Is this the time to increase
their number, and Gf possiole) their venom
And 80 re doubt and wait.
Yet the fact is still clear and must not be
forgotten that it is Slavery alone which has
plunged the Nation into civil war and seeks its
utter disruption and overthrow. Though the
time TO act on that may not have arrived--may
never arrive--it is none the less truth. In all
this broad land, among the three millions of
voters against Abraham Lincoln for President,
there were none who dreamed of making his
Human Slavery. With them it was strictly and
simply a prete1t, because they had not really
tried to beat Lincoln. On the contrary, they
had divided tue Democratic party bolted from
its National Convention and made rival nom.
nation, with palpable intent to make RepubI.
can triumph certain. That triumph was not
their reason for rebellion but their pretext, and
one which they had worked hard and long to
secure.
These facts need TO be reiterated and enforced
until they shall be deeply eDgraven on the public
mind, 80 that the most ignorant, the humblest.
70 often as he shall be summoned TO scrimp the |
bread of his children to pay the heavy taxes
imposed BY this war shall realize that it is Slay.
'ry which thus impovershes him and them.
Mothers, who are called to send your sons to |
'attle for the Union aud the laws! never forget.
'r let them forget, that it is Slavery which com.
'els the sacrifice. The time may not have come
may not como for years--for tho Nation to
'roGal9 AND act upon this fgl9sme9,al truth;

A Yale College student last Winter conferred
with jeff Davis, then a Senator Of the United
States with regard to the probable issues Of Seces-
sion. "What is to become of Washington City 2"
was among the questions asked by the student.

He was evidently then plotting the secession Of
Maryland and the consequent Wrestling of Wash-

Virginia nor North Carolina had yet seeded.

ton the wind of the Southern rebellion now
blows an article recently published in The R'e"'"o"a
Dispateh Is interesting. That paper takes active
ground against an attack on Washington 'a'"e
that the golden opportunity for safo oonq"'''
was lost when the rebels did not dare W 'o''o"
orr retreating army, and that it is now 700 ia'e;
the Notifications in Virginia are too STRONG;
wou,d reouire too many men to make the pre-
limipary attack higher up, and would require 700
,,.nv racon loads of bacon and -four, even IL
there were men enough. Under 'nese oi'oua'
stances The Dispatch says that on or ABOUT 'ne
18th of September an army OF l29'ooo heoels
sbould march. not for Washington, but
for PHILADELPHIA; it would be easier, says this
ORGAN. TO take Philadelphia, and, moreover, in
that city they would find large stores Of useful
war material. Thence they would push on to
New.York, and tread with martial step ="
through the streets Of the metropolis, the object
being to humiliate this city, which has grown
fat and insolent upon the wealth which tue South
has poured into her lap" The plan is pretty
one on paper, and 50 long as its prosecution Is
confined to the Southern journals it will not be
fatal. When the Rebels attempt to reduce it to
practice its weakness will become apparent even
to them.
A supposed Rebel Agent, having in bis posses
sion letters of credit on English Bankers for
$500, 600, has been arrested at Newport, X. l.,
where the vessel upon which he was passenger
had been forced by stress Of weather. He has
been sent to Fort Lafayette. Ii is supposed thai
he was sent out to purchase arms for the South
