Another Word from Dickinson.
The Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson made an
other speech at Cortland, n. Y, last week
which is SO good we give an extract, exclud-
ing communications seut us to make room
for il, believing ii will do our readers the
most good to see how the veteran democrat
treats the Northern sympathizers with Sc
cession. Mr.. Dickinson, having gwen a
history of the war, and put the entire blame
of it on the rebels, handled their Northern
allies, the peace democrats, in the following
seathing style:-
"The great cry now is peace They
say, "There must be peace We are all in
favor of peace. don't doubt but that ma
ny honest men, democrats and others, think
it attainable by negotiation With rebels, but
any one who viii look at it with half an eye
can see that it is impossible. What is this
question we are treating of? 1t is one of
the most formidable rebelions, and one Of
the most causeless and wicked, that has ev-
er been since satan's rebellion in heaven
A greater army is attempting on this conii-
nent TO overthrow the government than has
ever been on the continent before and now
those who are attempting to put it down are
met in field by the stolen weapons of the
United States government,--by the officers
who have been laden with the honors and
had their military education at the expense
OF the American people,-they are attempt
/ ing TO do what? To dissolve this holy
Union, TO destroy forever the
government of Washington. And who is
attempting to aid them? Not men who
march by their side, for they are compare
lively entitled to consideration for their man
hood, but men are among us every day cry
ing peace, and sowing this insidious dis
ease among the people and this very press
is trampling on the rights of every man and
the government, and when our arms are re-
ycrsed and the enemy prevails over US, then
it is that they rejoice. Stand up, Mr.. APPEL
ogist for Secession! and let us see whether
you can face an indignant people. In what
work are you engaged? Attempting to des-
troy the government of your fathers. Il am
not trying to do that. am in favor of peace
Every widowed woman made so by this re-
bellion has right to look upon you, sir, as
the murderer of her husband. Every or
phan may look upon you as the guilty
wretch--ihe destroyer Of its natural protec-
tor. The loyal citizen, too, looks upon you
as one who aids and abets treason, and fur
nishes aid and comfort to the enemy. Your
hands are red with blood--blood of your
murdered citizens. All, in this brief war
how many have been sent down with vio-
lence and butchery to the gravel How
many bitter, unavailing tears have been
shed How many pure and gentle hearts
have been crushed and broken And still
you cry peace, when you know there is no
peace! Come, take arms in your hands
and stand by their side and point the bayo-
net at the breast of your own brethren here,
or else help us put it down. You will stand
as men with men, and be no more guilty in
the sight Of God TO take arms. than 10 en-
courage others to do so. (Applause.) The
party that attempts to do this ought TO sink.
ANY party ought TO sink TO iufamy that
cannot lay aside its politics in this crisis ;
and should the democratic party, with all
It's ancient history, attempt carrying this
question by opposing itself to this war, there
would not be enough Of them left for finger
boards TO point to the burial ground where
the whole party will be engulphed together.
(Applause.)
Any democrat that undertakes to en-
barrass the administration, whether he loves
or hates it, in such crisis as this, is no
democrat and no good citizen, and ought TO
; be put up as a monument for scorn TO point
her slow, unmoving finger at. His genu-
ineness must be about equal to that Of the
old revolutionary soldier have heard of.
IN the interior of Pennsylvania The in
habitants of the place had determined on
having 4th of July celebration of the old

a man for revolutionary soldier to give in
