Dan. ). Dickinson addressed the people
of GenescO on the 18th instant on the
topics OF the day. In the course of his
remarks he said he never saw a problem
that he was less able TO solve than this
How man outside of a lunatic asylum
should want to see this rebellion petted,
treated quietly, olive branched, and ask
what it would please to have. This re-
beliion had its existence to-day in the
hope of having help here; and its sympa-

before to-day if party had not arisen to
cry Tor peace. They say they are our
brethren and must be treated kindly

acy, which permitted Tarquin to trample
on the nation, if we fail to put down this
rebellion. Let us remember the dark
and trying days of the revolution, what
this government cost, and then see what
mlscreant shall raise his hand against it.
BENEDICT Arnold and all the traitors of
the past will stand fairer in the future
Than he who shall attempt to destroy
this government. =
Mr.. Dickinson drew a fine picture of
the greatness and happiness of this ma
ton before the dark and infamous trait
orS at Washington hatched this rebellion,
and with perjury in their hearts, plotted
the destruction of the government they
had sworn to defend. This was the re-
suit OF conspiracy, and not of rebellion.

would be ashamed of, the opposing of Just

Justification of this rebellion. He warn
ed wealth that if they pandered to great
ana little 1ebellions, the ruffians would
ride IN bodies to their banks and counting
houses and help themselves to what they
wanted. He warned the merchants, far
mers and mechanics, that this spirit of
rebellion, which politicians are seeking
to handle with furred mittens, will take
their goods, their produce and their wares
and compel them to pay for their support,
unless they put it down at once. He
would be doing himself and the cause in
justice if he did not say that he felt his

strong hand. The only speeches he need
make to such men would be made with
shot and shell, ond the only messages he
w0ald send them would be from the
cannon. Applause. When he saw
p1ofic cthoeFs tampering with mobs and
addressing them, he thought there must
be something wrong. He remembered
story of 4 couple of boys who had never
seen Goldfish, who went down to New
burypoft, and their aunt put on the table
some nice tish-balls. They didn't know
what to make of them. One of them put
one IN his pocket, and when he got out
OF doors, he took it out and looked at it.
