THE DAILY SPY.
Dickinson on VnIIandignOm.

Dickinson on VaIIandishOm.
At great war meeting held at Albany
few days since, Daniel S. Dickinson in his
speech, touched on Villiadam. That is new
name for hin, and divides the credit of APP
propriateness with one we heard him called
few days since, to wit - Villain -dam-hin.
Mr. Dickinson said -
A noisy, hurting braggart and gassy traitor
named Villindam (roars CT laughter and APP
plause) or Vallandigham, late a member of
congress from Ohio, who has Extensively OPP
posed the war and justified the rebellion from
the beginning-who has been openly claimed
by the rebels as their triend--who strenuOusly
opposed supplies for the war - who was

own state applause Good for mn--he
ought to be hung" who, in his last race for
congressional honors, was allowed to stay at
home by the loyal people of his district-who
resides near the borders of Kentucky-has
been arrested by Gen. Burnside, in whose
military department he is; (''good') and the
moment he is arrested for some alleged offence
in that military department-we don't know
Tor what. and his admirers here don't know
for what-but by consent, they set up howl
from Richmond to Canada in behalf of ''tree

Two great, and hasty, and noisy meetings
have been held, one in New York, at which
Capt. Rynders and others spoke, and even the
late Thomas H. Seymour of Connecticut
preached, (laughter,) and one at this capitol,
where his excellency Gov. Seymour admins
tered upon the wrongs of Vallandgham by
letter. The governor says this arrest is full

his home, pray tell? No one, unless he has
done something to put himself in danger. The
pious thief and burglar, Gordon of Brook
lyn who attended conferences and prayer
meetings with the young ladies', discovered
where they kept their jewelry, and then en-
tered their houses and robbed them by night

earth, and been detected and arrest

the freest possible discussion. Free
dom of speech does not confer the right
to go before an enemy and stimulate mutiny
and disObedience and recommend desertion.
1t does not justify anything which, i'll time
of war, is calculated and intended to weaken
the military arm of the government. The gov
ernor complains that the governors of some
OF the western states have sunk into insignif-

out. | hope whatever may become of other
states, New York may not find herself in the
same pltiful category. Laughter. 1t is
certainly humiliating position for the first
state of the Union, when the scales of our
being as nation are vibrating,-when our
children are dying by thousands in defence of
the Uni0n,-to see the chief magistrate turn
from contemplating the picture with anxious
sOllctude to denounce the government and
encourage the rebellion, because a ranting,
foamng, frothing, gascoDadng traitor cries
of chang him, hang him has been charged
with an offence cOgnlzable by martial
law and has been arrested, and after
a full and fair trial, convicted.
This is the species of support which Gov.
Seymour, and those who are with him from
the beginning of the war, have given to the
administration, and this he calls generous
one! They now propose to ''pause," as he
tells us; and if they will but 'pause" in their
assaults upon the administration-in their
proclaimed sympathy with traitors. and in
their encouragement 10 rebellion, they will
confer Il favor upon the present and coming
generations. (Applause) The people cry
'Pause," but it is to those engaged in assaults
upon the administration, not to those who are
striking death blows at the rebellion. They
cry pause" but they cry to those who give
aid, encouragement, and comfort to the reb-
els. The soldiers are among us here, and
they cry pause" but it is that you pause i'll

their lives i'll defence of the government.
With heads uncovered, with bosoms barred,
they have met the enemies of free institutions
upon the battle field (vocferous cheering),
and they cry pause" to you who are encour-
aging this rebellion. The wife and the mother
cry pause" to you who by sympathizing
with traitors, encourage resistance to the gov
ernment and its institutions; they coniure
you to pause-pause in your mad career; the
husband and son have been slain; your par
tizanship gives aid to the rebels. The father
cries pause" in your encouragement to reb-
els in arms. 81 oseph is not, Simeon is not,
and you would take away Benjamin also"
There are others who cry ''pause." l adopt
the language of his cxcellency, the governor,
and cry pause

The New York Evening Post has letter
from an artist who is exploring the far west.
On his way to the 'plains" he stopped in St.
Louis aud at several other places in Missouri.
We extract the following from the record of
his observations -
