Daniel 8. DIekInson's Speech.
We ask the attention of every reader this
morning TO that portion of Daniel 8. Dick
inson's great speech made in New York
last Wednesday night, which we publish
on our first page.
Who does not know Daniel S. Dickinson?
He is the great democratic leader in tho
great Empire State of New York. He was
a prominent candidate for the Presidency
of the United States before the convention
that nominated John @. Breckenridge. For
many years he has been the conceded mas.
ter intellect the party in New. York.
His whole speech ought to be read By
every man who can possibly spare the
time. We greatly regret that our space
limits US TO so small portion of it.
This great. leader addresses himself in
most moving words to the people of bis
state and country. He warns them to
beware of the wolf in sleeps clothing-ol
the insidious and tracherous and traitorous
efforts now being made by such men as the
editor of the Wheeling Press, who under
the name and guise of Democracy are steal
ing the livery of heaven in which to serve
the devil-in which TO delude the honest
masses into n commtttl to their schema
for breaking down the prosecution of the
war and aiding the rebellion.
Beware of these men he tells you. He
depicts the consequences to you. He knows
these INSCRIPTIONS and unpatriOtic men
thoroughly. He sees through all their in
fernaI plans and purposes. Mark this pas.
sage from his speech:
A life. long Democrat, ] do not hesitate
TO declare responsibility that the organized
action of this knot ofpOlitieians, as a spuri-
Gus Democrat party in this State, has done,
aud is now doing, more to encourage the en-
durance and perseverance of this rebellion
than all the sympathies of England and
France combined-and that such is the
public judgment-more than all the vessels
which have run the blockade together
The South knew the old Democratic party
of this State as a party of power aud in
huence. They hope an believe this fac
ton Is its successor, and possesses some of
its elements and influences, and await its
triumph. Could the muTderous Tattetde-
nations of rebellion, who are described as
reekinR with a rank compound Of villain
Gus smells, shaggy with shreds of what was
clothing, and creeping with vermin. attend
our polls, they would give this ticket u
unanimous vote. Could 1t succeed, jeff DA-
Wis would proclaim another day nfIhanks
giving, though it might have 10 be kept in
fasting, aud illuminate Richmond; and
we'll be might, for its success would be
more hurtfnl TO the cause of the Union than
the loss of the army of the Potomac, and
the capture and the sacking of Washing
ton.
Men of Ohio, our neighbors, separated
from US only by a narrow stream, We con-
jure you to give these words your serious
attention. You hold your election to NOR
row. Candidates are before you of the
exact character describ d above. The can
didate for Congress in the adjoining district
is one such. 1t is your highest duty to
your country to defeat that man tomorrow.
AS Colonel FoSney, another Democrat, so
we'll said in his Philadelphia speech, many
of you who will honestly yet mistakenly
vote for him, will, ere a year rolls round
''regret it and mourn it in sack cloth and
ashes" We entreat you to be warned in
time, Be not deceived by these bad men
try in this great hour of its trial. If White
is elected to Congress he will go there only
to vote aud conclaye with Yallandigham.
He will go there only to distract aud ham
per the unity of the governments efforts
to crush this wicked rebellion. 1t is your
most solemn duty, the most solemn that
ever devolved on you at any election, to turn
ont to a man and crush the would-b trail
tor. We do not believe he will be elected.
It cannot be that the free people of Ohio
will dishouor the cause of their native
land by electing such man. We do not
fear that he will be elected. but we desire
TO see him and all such men buried deep
underneath the mountain of your votes
Men of Belmont county! Your cause is
our cause tomorrow. If it were not we
should NOT thus address you. No State
lines divide the loyal citizens of this Re-
public these times. We suffer with you in
the fact thar youihave traitors within your
county. We will rejoice with you, as a
matter for national thiuksgivipE, in their
6 overthrow. You are lighting our battle
now. We cannot be indifferent spectators
when the stake is SO momentous as the
preservation of this government
We eonjnre yonl men of Belmont county,
= to do your whole duty tomorrow.
