me Ietter Of Hon. D. 5. Dickinson.

The Letter of Hon. d. s. Dickinson.
Few men in civil life has done more to
sustain the Government and encourage
the loyalty Of the people, than Hon. Daniel
8. Dickinson, of New York. A thorough
and staunch old jackson Democrat, he had
too much Of fhe spirit of the hero Of New
Orleans to follow too many Of his party
who preferred blind partisan strife to pa
triotic devotion. BE has spoken with all
his eloquence and power against the re-
bellion and in support of the Government,
and has strengthened many who were
becoming weak in the faith.
The letter Of Mr.. Dickinson which was
read to the mass meeting yesterday, was
one worthy its author and the OCCASION
It is full Of the most exalted patriotism,
and deserves to be preserved among the
distinguished opinions of other great men.
Upou the much discussed distinction be-
tween the Government and the Admins
trstion, he happily dispOses of the subject
In few words. 4" Abraham Lincoln is
not the Government, but its temporary
agent and representative, and even the
urejudiced and bigoted partiEan should re-
member that in such a crisis as the present,
support or resistance to the Governmentis is
manifested by supporting or opposing its
Administration. Government cannot be
sustained and encouraged, nor treason
arrested or rebuked, by giving rebellion
one blow and the Administration two. Il
the Administration is weak, 1t should be
made stronger by the popular arm. If il
lacks purpose, its energies should be nerVed
by the exhibition Of peoples will. If il
is deficient in wisdom, popular cOunsell
should aid and assist it, and stay up iti
hands until the victory over the mOderr
Amalekites is completed"
Can there be any hesitancy, among Loyal
men, as to their duty, after such an expo
sition as this7 To be sure, this is not Dem
ocratic doctrine as now promulgated, but
its distinguished author gives fair warn
ing that he defes alike the seductions o.
secession songs of "radical or "con
servative," and their bulls Of excommuni
cation. he plunges into and through ye
another Of the dOgmas Of his former party
associates by saying Of slavery that HI
would stake just as much of it. and il
such shapes as would aid the Union cause
and weaken the rebellion" And, again
If the war should eradicate the institution
he would cry "Out, damned spot with
most hearty good will.
These are the utterances Of a man and
. patriot, who, although two years ago ont
of the leaders of that wing of the Demoo
racy which had Breckinridge for its head
has nevertheless placed country befOr
party, and left the latter that he nigh
best serve the former. Let all read hi
manly letter and profit by it.

The aIass Meeting Of Yesterday.


Notwithstanding the efforts Of the Her
aid to break down the Mass Meeting aP-
pointed to be held yesterday, by abusing
and slandering the originatOrs Of the call
the meeting was held and rOusing meet
ing It was, too. A full report will be found
in another part Of this paper. The distin-
vuished gentlemen from abroad, Hon D. s.
Diekiason. General Butler, and Gov. Andy
johnson, we're not able to be present, but
the time and attention Of the meeting
were well occupied by those of our own tai
euted citizens and neighbors who showed
mn rebel plots and ably discussed the du-
ties Of the hour. And it was a noticeable
and gratifying feet thrt the heartiest re-
spOnse and the lOudest applause was given
to those speeches and those portions of the
speeches which were most emphatic for the
adoption Of any and every means-the
employment Of blacks, emancipation Of
the slaves, &c.,-sgainst the rebellion
The speakers were not a whit behind the
audience in determined warfare against all
traitors at hons and abroad.
The meeting cannot but have s good ef-
feet. Such interchange of opinion and
mutual exhortations to continued loyalty,
are good at all times. They induce a unity
Of purpose, and 'fn Union there is
strength" We hope to see them held ex-
tensively and frequently. The cause O
the Government viii be encouraged
thereby.
The success Of the meeting was manly
and patriotic rebuke to the impOtent abus'
Of the Herald.

Judge spalding referred to his parting
that day, with his only two boys, who be-
long to Grants army and may soon be in
deadly fight with the enemy. "They may
fall, said he, but II l had ten sons, and
double ten would give them all to my
country rather than see them all go down"
Judge spalding satdOwn, amid immense
applause.
Rev. Mr.. Brewster came upon the stage
in response to 8 call and made brief
but stirring speech. He eulOgized Mr..
Lincoln for issuing the Proclamation and
said that by it he had "loadsd cannon
with the msnscles Of 100000 slaves and
fred them from the bastions Of freedom" ("
Hon. r. F. Paine was called for, but de-
clined to make speech on account Of the
lateness Of the hour, it then being nearly
six o'clock. He made fewremarks, how
ever, calling attention to families Of sol
diers in our midst, whom he found are be-
ing neglected. He thought active and ef-
fective measures should be contrived and
executed at once for relieving their wantF'
ae spoke in warm terms Of the soldiers
their fidelity and devotion to the cause Of
the Union. He spoke Of the recent action
of Indiana soldiers, in passing resolutions
and sending them home, to the effect thai
they stood as ready to fight traitors in In
diana as rebels in the South.
Abiding to the proclamation, he sale
the entire phase Of the war has changed
for the better since it was issued, and mel
are more hopeful Of crushing the rebel
lion. Indications are constantly receives
of a great change in the public opinion o
Europe towards the North, on account Q
the proclamation Of freedom, andhe con
sidered that change as one Of the mos
hopeful signs Of the times. He alluded t
the efficient use that is likely to be mad
of colored troops.
On the conclusion Of Mr.. Paine's II
marks, which were well received, th
meeting sdjourneds'iss die. Despite th
representations Of the covert enemies {
the Union cause, as we'll as Of others VII
were disafected from various reasons, th
meeting was an entire success.

The Mass Meeting appointed to celebrate
the Birthday Of Washington BY action in
favor Of the support of the Government,
was held IS announced, at Brainards Hall
Yesterday. At an early hour the people
began to gather, and at 10 O'clOekshe Hall
was densely filed. Heeker's Band per-
formed numerous patriotic airs upon the
balcony and in the Hall.
The assembly was called to order at
quarter to eleven o'clock by Hon R. F.
Paine, who moved that the meeting be or
ganized by the election of the following
named officers:
President-Gen. John Crowell-
Vice Presidents-J. E. Hurlbut, Of Sum-
nit; DR.. o. S. St. John, of Lake. Charles
HiokOx, of CuyahOgai Rev. Mr.. Young,
Of Lake; Charles Bradburn, of CuyahOgai
Earl Bill, Of Cuyahoga; J. F. Dewey, of
Huron; John Barr, Of Cuyahoga-
WI. BOardman and C. W. Palmer were
appointed Secretaries.
The motion was carried.
General Crowel, on taking the Chair,
expressed his thanks for the unexpected
honor of being elected to preside over the
meeting. We are assembled, he said, to
commemorate the birthday Of George
Washington, who has been characterized
as q first in war, first in peace, and first in
the hearts Of his cOuntrymen." To him.
more than to any other man that ever
lived, are we indebted for our Republicf !
institutions. In commemOrating his birth
day, it is meet and proper that we should
remember the peril into which those insti'
tutions have been thrown, through the ef
forts Of traitors, and remembering this
let us also remember the brave soldiers
who are giving their lives to preserve th'
glorious fabric, bought by the blood and
reared by the patriotism Of their fathers
Let US then, to-day, on the alters cOnse
Grated 10 liberty, renew our devolons, an'
pledge, as did our fathers before us, ths
we will maintain this republic with "life
liberty and sacred honor"
On motion of R. F. Paine, the following
gentlemen were appointed as q cOmmitte
on resolutions:

ing letter from the Hon. Daniel S. Dick
inson, of New York. He thought it wa
fitting that letter so patriotic should b
read at the commencement of the meetin
in order that its inspiring effects nigh
be felt. The letter was read amid repeate
applause:

The President has selected from the lists Of
generals appointed by him, and returned by
the Senate as exceeding the prescribed number,
the names Of twenty brigadler generals nomi-
mated for promotion to the rank Of major
general; and the names OF fifty officers and
civilians, nominated for appointment as briga-
dier generals. This will leave large number
Of those who now wear the lone star on their
shoulder-straps "out in the cold," especially
those colonels of volunteer regiments whose
successors have been commissioned.
To remedy this, the House last night adopted
amendments TO the senate's Limitation bill, in
creasiRg the number OF new Major Generals
from 20 to 40, Of Brgadier Generals from so 10
100, and striking out the provlso that beyond
the number thus authorized, no generals should
be appointed. Whether the Senate will recede
from It's determination TO restrict the numbers
Of military appointments, each Of which in
creases the public expenditures, remains to be
seen.
Those who have seen the lists of the chosen
twenty Major Generals and forty Brigadier
Generals, sent in for confirmation, say that
the President has made his selections with great
discrimination, although the friends Of General
Siclles think that he should receive the promo.
ton given to Schenck, Couch, sedgwick,
stonemAn, Sumner, and Helntzloman. Among
those nominated as Brlgadier Generals, arc
ColonelS F. P. Blair and Gilman Aarston oI
the present House.
