DANIEL s. DICKINSON. Hon. Daniel
5. Dickinson Is conspicuous among those
whose names, honored by all true Union
men In the present, will be prominent in
history and cherished by generations TO
come, for their patriotic services in the
time of the nations ttir.al ana peril.
Among the first of those who ignored par
ty for country's sake, he has labored to
unite all in the loyal States in support of
the government while engaged in the task
of overthrowing treason and rebellion and
saving the Union from disintegration and
destruction. Two years ago, as he states
in a recent letter, he yielded from sense
of duty to the wishes Of friends, and be-
came candidate for the office of Attorney
Gone,a, Of New York. Being assured,
The says, ov indulgen, friends that cir
cumstances had given my mann d RELATION
of peculiar significance, and that it was
deemed necessary to the combination of
of the popular forces, | reversed deter
minaton had believed unalterable, and
accented the nomination." The emer-
gency, which then existed, having now
passed, he declines re- nomination, for
personal reasons. But there is no change
in his views upon the war, and the duty
of all patriots concerning it. Neither has
his opinion undergone any modification In
regard to the leading southern traitors or
their northern sympathlzers, as will be
seen from the following. He says:
entertain the same opinion of the re-
bellion to-day that | did on its outbreak,
that it must be put down absolutely and
Internationally, by force, if we would
preserve the government of our fathers,
and save our name from becoming syn
onvm for cowardice and baseness where
ever the history of the American Revolu-
ton has travelled or its fruits been realized.
From the commencement of the rebellion
| have urged the union of all true men,
irrespective Of political organizations, to
aid the Administration in crushing 1t. |
have labored faithfully tc that end, and
such shall be my effort in the future. l

propose TO act and will act TO this end,
with all whose views are the same, re-
gardless of whence they come, or what
have been their opinions upon other ques-
tons, and will oppose all, whatever they
may have been in other times or may be
called now, who are giving aid or comfort
TO rebellion, whether boldly, with arms in
their hands, or through the cowardly and
more mischievous process of lomenung
partisan strife and encouraging resistance
to the government in the prosecution of
the war;
The rebellion has received its death
blow. 1t has now little power for mis-
chief, save in its spasmodic struggles as il
gasps out its iguoble existence, 1t may,
by galvanic applications from its frends.in
the loyal States, once or twice rise to its
feet and stagger on a little further, but
this will rather hasten than postpone the
hour of its final dissolution. As it passes
away and the law is preparing its halters,
and dungeons and banishpents for con-
piring leaders, let us pray for the forgive
ness Of the deluded masses who have been
cheated or driven into this wholesale muir
der, to administer to the unholy ambition
of some of the most fndish monsters who
have ever desecrated earth. As for the
mole eyed politicians amongst us, whose
poverty of intellect has not enabled them
to comprehend the magnitude of the crl-
sis, when they shall cease to encourage
the murderers of our sons and brothers,
let us endure their exhibitions of depravi-
ty and the ebulhtions of their spite with
out a murmnr, and In sheer pity measure
out to them, as an antidote for their inef-
fectual virus, that scorn which is made
most emphatic by expressive silence.

Protracting the War.

Who are the men that are protracting
the rebellion? The Seymours Of New
York ana Connecticut Ex-Presilept
Pierce of New Hampshire {. L. Fal-
landigham, the great exPungel; the
Brool,ses Of New Yort the Woods, dit
to; such papers as the Word, the Bos-
ton Courier. the -Iryus, the Democrat,
&c. So also, may be classed in the work
all the great constitutional lawyers at the
corners of the street, who spend precious
time and much bad breath, in declaring
the unconstitutionality Of the Conseript
Act, &e., &c. The croakers do good
deal in a small way, in this line, and
should not be forgotten. Then, as inclul-
ing all these wise men, all these astute
lawyers, all these preservers of the con.
stitution anu the laws, is the Democratic
party proper, $50 caIled) which has been
50 well si.ted, that nothing is left of it,
by which an old Democrat could recog-
uizo it. This organization is doing what
it can to prolons the war, by quarreling
with the administration instead Of the re-
bellion, and III doing all it can to dampen
the Union feeling, and to increase a sym
pathy for jeff Davis and his rebellion.
The continuance of this slaughter Of
the com5atauts, hereafter, to a great ex-
tent, will be ehargablc to this Northern
sympathy for the rebellion. But for this
peaee-at-any-prlce party, the rebels would
at once see the utter hopclessness Of their
cause and would succumb. Therefore if
we have more drafts Of Union soldiers, if
we have to mourn the loss Of brave men
aud gallant officers, if we have to chroni-
Gle more hostile meetings Of the opposing
armies, We may truly and uudeuiably
point to the copperheads North, aud say
TO them, :" you are the men that are caus-
ing ali this bl9odshed. These men will
yet have to face a terrible day Of reckon
ing. When the storm has blown over,
aud there is less mist, and clearer sun
light, the suffering Union men, the mourn
ing ones at home, and the returned SOL
diers, will meet these copperhead politi-
clans and tell them to their face you did
