SPEECH OF GOT, DANIEL S, DICKINSON 
 
 Cries of "Dickinson," "Dickinson," 
 " Old War Horse," etc. Mr. Dickinson 
 responded, was received with prolonged 
 applause, and addressed the audience as 
 follows : 
 
 MR. PRESIDENT AND FELLOW CITIZENS : 
 That the rebellion is upon us which threat 
 ens the very existence of this Union is de 
 nied by none ; that it is one of such form 
 idable proportions as cannot be handled by 
 political parties, should, I think, be ad 
 mitted by all. That this war was com 
 menced in a corrupt and perjured conspir 
 acy, and murderous thieving rebellion, will 
 not be denied ; that it is intended to over 
 throw this government no rational man 
 can doubt ; and it becomes us as a people, 
 as a whole and united people, without re 
 gard to distinctions of caste or party, to 
 come forward, if the government is worth 
 preserving aud preserve it. [Applause.] 
 It is as wicked and alarming as its origin 
 was causeless, and no one but a traitor to 
 our government can be found its defender 
 or apologist. It will be found time enough 
 to look after politics, to pack conventions, 
 and make nominations for office, when we 
 find we have a country to govern. [Re 
 newed applause.] For myself, I go with 
 those in this great crisis who sustain the 
 government. I started out in the direction 
 of putting down and overthrowing this re 
 bellion. If I were to go to New York, I 
 would take the route and conveyance 
 tliat would carry me there, and not one 
 that would take me in the direction of 
 Canada. [Cheers; a voice, "Bully."] I 
 do not know who my associates are, or 
 whence they came. What they were yes 
 terday is very little concern to me. I 
 would prefer to go with my old personal 
 and political- friends, if they go in my di 
 rection, and such of them as go with me for 
 putting down this rebellion will have my 
 company ; those who do not go for this, will 
 not have my company, as I go with those 
 who strike the earliest and strongest blows 
 
 to put down the rebellion with the whole 
 power of the government, [cheers] and 
 enforce unconditional submission at the 
 earliest moment. [Renewed applause.] 
 My convictions on this question are these : 
 while I would prefer going with personal 
 and life-long associates, in crushing out 
 this rebellion, not that I love party less, 
 but that I love country more ; [applause] 
 if Democrats won't go with me, I will go 
 with Republicans ; if Republicans won't 
 go with me, I will go with Abolitionists, 
 and if Abolitionists won't go with me, and 
 if white men won't go with me, I will go 
 with black men ; and if that is treason to 
 party or country, then make the most of 
 it, and they can put it into their pipes and 
 smoke it. [Shouts of applause and laugh 
 ter.] I hold this great government and its 
 blessed institutions to be more than all 
 political parties ; and so help me God, I 
 will never slumber nor sleep until I see the 
 last rebel leader on a gibbet, and the masses 
 in rebellion return to their allegiance and 
 duty. [Cheers.] 
 
 In efforts to maintain this government 
 of our fathers in its integrity to perpet 
 uate the blessings of freedom to coming 
 generations, and to preserve humanity's 
 holy hope, the Union, we have expended 
 hundreds of millions of treasure and of 
 fered up hundreds of thousands of our 
 sons on the bloody field of battle ; and 
 yet the contest rages in all its fierceness, 
 and rebellion is still striving to fasten its 
 fangs in the throat of the nation. Gov 
 ernment must resist or yield the control. 
 The question is one of easy and simple so 
 lution. The rebel leaders have repelled, 
 with ineffable scorn, every suggestion of 
 arrangement short of a divided Union ; 
 and whoever joins in the cry of stopping 
 the war and restoring the Union before 
 the rebel arms are laid down, is either a 
 traitor or a fool, and should be judged ac 
 cordingly. It cannot be restored in any 
 other way than by force of arms. It is 
 
] 
 
 our duty now to rally around the old flag 
 and our armies in the field who have so 
 bravely sustained it. The question has 
 been and is whether the government shall 
 exist, and not how it shall be administered. 
 It is above and beyond political parties in 
 their influence for good. It concerns all 
 the people, and all parties alike who 
 desire to preserve the government and 
 maintain free institutions ; and the attempt 
 to raise the cry of partisan strife is no 
 more nor less than to give life and aid to 
 the rebellion and embarrass the adminis 
 tration in the prosecution of the war. 
 Some who " have been everything by 
 turns and nothing long," cry out as loudly 
 in the honored name of Democracy as 
 though they had been commissioned to 
 administer its dispensations, and seem to 
 suppose that under the disguise of its 
 shield they may practice such " fantastic 
 tricks before high Heaven as make the 
 angels weep." [Applause.] 
 
 They boast of what the party accom 
 plished in its days of pride and power, 
 and so far as most of them are concerned 
 well may they remember its prowess, for 
 they were its opponents as halting, semi- 
 abolitionists, softs, and shysters, and Demo 
 cratic castigations were not unfrequently 
 administered to their recreant skins. 
 [Shouts of applause and laughter.] Like 
 all new converts and hypocrites, they can 
 not speak three words now but two of 
 them will be Democracy ! But the lion's 
 skin was never sufficiently ample to cover 
 the ears of the ass, [laughter] much less 
 to suppress his unmistakable notes ; [ap 
 plause] and when the petty politicians, 
 disguised in Democratic habiliments, have 
 strutted their brief hour and are then ex 
 posed to the shame which their fraud de 
 mands, it will be seen over again that 
 Democracy is a principle and not a name. 
 It is said to be an instinct of the copper 
 head to crawl into the burrow of some 
 noble animal ; but without regard to its 
 
 ' O 
 
 "local habitation," it is a venomous reptile 
 still. The people will judge, as God will 
 judge, of men by their actions, and not by 
 their false pretences and noisy confessions. 
 None will escape by their counterfeit cry 
 of Democracy. The murderous Joab flew 
 from the wrath of the wise King of Judea 
 to the inclosures of the tabernacle, that 
 he might escape the vengeance due to his 
 
 crimes ; but he was slain while clinging 
 to the very horns of the altar ; and those 
 who aid and assist rebellion, will find that 
 even true Democracy will be for them no 
 city of refuge much less the spurious. 
 [Renewed laughter and applause.] De 
 mocracy has been able to survive, and even 
 to dignify terms of reproach ; but it was 
 when it was guided by honored and noble 
 leaders, and when its principles were just. 
 But it will be seen that when its name is 
 " stolen to serve the devil in," when an 
 odious designation is given its managers 
 befitting their principles, when the weight 
 of such leaders- would have broken down 
 Andrew Jackson himself; and when the 
 creed they profess is in itself infamous, the 
 name and those who bear it will each 
 communicate disgrace to the other. The 
 Democracy of General Jackson and his 
 adherents, with principles that "the Union 
 must and shall be preserved," [cheers] is 
 one thing ; the self-christened Democracy 
 of copperhead leaders, with principles 
 which aid and encourage rebellion and 
 justify and sympathize with traitors, quite 
 another. The exploit of the eagle which 
 bore away the lamb in his talons was 
 worthy of the admiration of all birds of 
 prey. The poor crow which sought to 
 transport the old ram into the upper .re 
 gion was equally worthy of ridicule. 
 [Roars of laughter and applause.] If our 
 whole people had acted together in this 
 matter, the rebellion would have been 
 crushed a year ago. I started with the 
 idea that ih& rebellion in arms must be put 
 down by force of arms, and I entertain the 
 same sentiment now. And when that is 
 accomplished, we shall have the " Consti 
 tution as it is and the Union as it was." 
 Slavery was no part of either, and if its 
 crockery gets broken in the melee, I shall 
 be heartily glad of it. [Laughter ; a voice, 
 " Good."] 
 
 I hold to the Democracy of General 
 Jackson, that the " Union must and shall 
 be preserved," [applause] and not to the 
 copperhead Democracy, that we must stop 
 the war and allow rebellion to dictate 
 terms of peace. I would even go with 
 copperheads if they would go to put down 
 the rebellion instead of apologizing for it. 
 This is the ground I took in the beginning, 
 and is the ground I shall maintain to the 
 end. I have made many speeches enforc- 
 
ing these ideas, which have been exten 
 sively published, and made the subject of 
 comment, some in rebeldom. and some in 
 Europe ; but I am happy to say that none 
 of them have been approved by copper 
 head or rebel journals here, [renewed ap 
 plause] or pirate-fitting, rebel sympathizing 
 journals in Europe. I repeat, names are 
 not things, nor things names. A rebel 
 against the government, whether in 
 Charleston or Albany whether he makes 
 it openly or secretly whether with arms 
 in his hands or secret whispers on his 
 tongue, is equally a traitor to his govern 
 ment. [Cheers.] Convicts in our prisons 
 are clad in a peculiar costume, and trained 
 and dieted in a peculiar manner; but it 
 is not the sentence of the court, the walls 
 of a prison, the striped jacket, the mush 
 and molasses, nor the lock step, that makes 
 the villain. It is the Iieart, whether in 
 broadcloth or beaver whether inside or 
 outside of prison walls. Those who sympa 
 thize with rebellion in the loyal States 
 seem not to have been flattered with much 
 recent success. Toombs boasted some 
 years since that he would call the roll of 
 his slaves in Massachusetts. That beinof 
 
 O 
 
 inconvenient, Jeff. Davis called his a few 
 years since in Connecticut, [laughter] but 
 the number was insufficient to satisfy the 
 demand, and the number is daily growing 
 less. 
 
 But the copperhead politicians, like 
 their Confederate military friends, are 
 about to make a change of base. [Re 
 newed laughter.] Liberal propositions 
 of peace are to be suspended for a season 
 to make way for free speech. They tell 
 us they are union men and are for free 
 speech. They have been for peace and 
 for settling this terrible war, while they 
 know the rebel leaders will not lay down 
 their arms until their independence as 
 they term it, is acknowledged and the 
 Union dissolved ! They declare they are 
 for the re-construction of the Union by 
 peaceful means ; yet they know that if 
 we lay down our arms and close this war 
 and patch up a peace, we are at the mer 
 cy of the most hellish despotism on earth. 
 But finding that this old idea is pretty 
 snuch played out, and that they must have 
 a new one, they want something that will 
 draw. [Applause.] You will not hear 
 any more about " liberal propositions of 
 
 peace " in a long while, Now, it is all 
 " free speech ! " A noisy, blurting brag 
 gart and gassy traitor, Villindam [roars 
 of laughter and applause] or Vallandig- 
 ham, late a member of Congress from 
 Ohio, who has offensively opposed the 
 war and justified the rebellion from the 
 beginning who has been openly claimed 
 by the rebels as their friend who strenu 
 ously opposed supplies for the war who 
 was drummed out of a camp of volun 
 teers in his own state [applause " Good 
 for him he ought to be hung"] who, in 
 his last race for Congressional honors, was 
 allowed to remain at home by the loyal 
 people of his district who reside near 
 the borders of Kentucky has been ar 
 rested by General Burnside, in whose 
 military department he is ; [" good "] 
 and the moment he is arrested for some 
 alleged defense in that Military Depart 
 ment we don't know for what, and his 
 admirers here don't know for what but 
 by consent, they set up a howl from Rich 
 mond to Canada in behalf of "free speech I" 
 Poor Vallandigham I arrested in the night 
 time, and at his own house ! as though he 
 ought to have been arrested in somebody's 
 else. [Laughter and applause.] He has 
 been tried by court-martial he had the 
 assistance of counsel and the attendance 
 of witnesses in his behalf. The evidence 
 has not been published, nor do we know 
 what it was. It is said he was sentenced 
 by the court to imprisonment in Fort 
 Warren, but there is no authority for this 
 declaration. No nation can exist in time 
 of war without the war power. You can't 
 make a woman's school of a great war. 
 [Renewed laughter.] It does not proceed 
 according to statute or the code ! There 
 are great principles which civilization has 
 established for their guidance between 
 civilized nations and peoples, but martial 
 law is bounded only by discretion of the 
 Commander-in-Chief. It is from the na 
 ture of the case despotic, for war is little 
 else. 
 
 Liberty of speech is one thing. Liberty 
 of treason is another. The liberty of 
 speech is sacred ; but this does not include 
 the right to act as a spy and convey in 
 telligence to the enemy, which may des-. 
 troy thousands of the lives of our soldiers 
 endanger our army and jeopard the 
 existence of government. [Applause.] 
 
Swords and knives are free; but this 
 gives no one the right to commit murder. 
 Fire arms are free, and exempt from seiz 
 ure on execution, and yet no one has a 
 right to discharge them at his neighbor. 
 Fire is free ; but the one who should em 
 ploy it to destroy the dwelling of his 
 neighbor would be the subject of an " ar 
 bitrary arrest " in his " own house " if 
 he should be found there " in the pres 
 ence of his wife and children," if he had 
 them. And these " arbitrary arrests " in 
 criminal law are of daily occurrence, and 
 in martial law of not unfrequent occur 
 rence in all wars, especially such a war 
 of rebellion as this, with spies and traitors 
 hatching treason and "aiding rebellion 
 all along' the border. Any lawyer who 
 cannot discriminate between civil law and 
 martial law should be treated for simplic 
 ity on the brain. [Shouts of applause 
 and laughter.] The functions of martial 
 law and the authority upon which it rests, 
 was freely stated by me last fall in a 
 speech made at the Cooper Institute. It 
 is a dangerous power, but its absence 
 would be more dangerous. It is liable to 
 abuse, but no war can be conducted with 
 out it especially such a war as this. 
 Whether it was judiciously exercised in 
 this case, and whether the paltry fellow 
 was worth arresting, I do not know, and 
 do not, for all present purposes, care. All 
 we can inquire of is, does the power ex 
 ist, and if it does, was it exercised in good 
 faith ? If it was, even though General 
 Burnside was mistaken, he is to be en 
 couraged for his watchfulness and com 
 mended for his vigilance. [Applause.] 
 Two great and hasty and noisy meetings 
 have been held, one in New York, at which 
 Captain Rynders and others spoke, and 
 even the late Thomas H. Seymour, of Con 
 necticut, preached, [laughter] and one at 
 thiscapitol, wherehis Excellency Governor 
 Seymour administered upon the wrongs of 
 Vallandigham by letter. The Governor 
 says this arrest is full of danger to our 
 homes. Who is in danger in 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 
 entered their houses and robbed them by 
 
 night, was a long time in danger in his 
 home [roars of laughter] and by and by 
 the cruel police went in large number san d 
 with their murderous clubs, and in the 
 night time, too, and " arbitrarily arrested n 
 him and put him in prison, and the Court 
 sent him to State prison for twenty years. 
 All for stealing a few trinkets. Yet Gov 
 ernor Seymour says nothing. Had he 
 connived with rebellion for the overthrow 
 of the only great free government on 
 earth, and he had been detected and ar 
 rested, it would have been " arbitrary." 
 But it interfered with the "freedom of 
 speech." How ? Who has objected to 
 the freest possible discussion ? Freedom 
 of speech does not confer the right to go 
 before an enemy and stimulate mutiny 
 and disobedience and recommend deser 
 tion. It does not justify any thing, which,, 
 in a time of war, is calculated and intended 
 to weaken the military arm of the govern 
 ment. The Governor complains that the 
 Governors of some of the Western States 
 have sunk into insignificance. It is cer 
 tainly time to be on the lookout. I hope 
 whatever may become of other States, 
 New York may not find herself in the 
 same pitiful category. [Laughter.] It is 
 certainly a humiliating position for the 
 first State of the Union, when the scales 
 of our being as a nation are vibrating 
 when our children are dying by thousands 
 in defence of the Union, to see the chief 
 magistrate turn from contemplating the- 
 picture with anxious solicitude, to de 
 nounce the government and encourage the 
 rebellion, because a ranting, foaming, 
 frothing, gasdonading traitor [cries of 
 " hang him, hang him"] has been charged 
 with un offense cognizable by martial 
 law, and has been arrested, and after a full 
 and fair trial, convicted. This is the spe 
 cies of support which Governor Seymour, 
 and those who are with him from the be 
 ginning of the war, have given to the admin 
 istration, and. this he calls a '"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 to rebellion,, 
 they will confer a favor upon the present 
 and coming generations. [Applause.] The 
 people cry " pause," but it is to those en 
 gaged in assaults upon the administration, 
 
3 
 
 not to those who are striking death blows 
 at the rebellion. They cry " pause," but 
 they cry to those who give aid, encourage 
 ment and comfort to the rebels. The sol 
 diers are among us here, and they cry 
 " pause" in stimulating the rebellion. 
 They have perilled their lives in defense of 
 the government. With heads uncovered 
 and with bosoms bared, they have met 
 the enemies of free institutions upon the 
 battle field, [vociferous cheering] and they 
 cry " pause" to you who are encouraging 
 this rebellion. The wife and the mother 
 cry " pause" to you who by sympathizing 
 with traitors encourage resistance to the 
 government and its institutions ; they con 
 jure you to pause pause in your mad ca 
 reer ; the husband and the son have been 
 slain ; your partizanship gives aid to the 
 rebels. The father cries " pause" in your 
 encouragement to rebels inarms. "Jo 
 seph is not, Simeon is not, and you would 
 take away Benjamin also." There are 
 others who cry ** pause." I adopt the lan 
 guage of his Excellency, the Governor, 
 and cry *' pause," Our sons and brothers 
 sleep in death. Tongues which are silent 
 in death, could they speak, would cry 
 * pause" they would say you have 
 marched us here we come to defend our 
 country's flag we come to vindicate the 
 honor of our nation we come to preserve 
 the holy memories that cluster around the 
 banner for which our fathers fought ; you 
 have lent hope and encouragement to the 
 rebellion ; " pause" in your course. Yes, 
 I say " pause." When you sit down at 
 your table " pause" set a vacant chair 
 there a skeleton will be at your side. 
 When you proceed to your chamber 
 " pause ;" death will be there. At the 
 hour of midnight " pause ;" the pale face 
 and skeleton finger will point to the record 
 of aid you have given the rebels in arms 
 against the government. If these men are 
 not punished at judgment, if not here, I 
 shall be mistaken. For men who assist in 
 this rebellion if not executed and damned 
 eternally hereafter, hemp will lose its value, 
 and hell will- forfeit its character for mis 
 use. [Great cheering,] 
 
 Men are mistaken in supposing that 
 they can form parties on the issues of our 
 country's fate. The great popular mind 
 sways to and fro ; it may be diverted from 
 the purpose, but it will b ever constant 
 
 and true in upholding the government. 
 Who believes that this rebellion can be 
 disposed of in any other way except by 
 the power of the sword ? I took the po 
 sition in the beginning, and I take it at 
 the end. All rebeldom can have peace 
 when they lay down their arms. But 
 there are men here who continually prate 
 of their democracy great democrats 
 they know all about democracy, and to 
 judge by their actions they care 4 very lit 
 tle about anything else. You recollect 
 the boy said to his father, suppose we call 
 our old horse's tail a leg, how many legs 
 would he have ? Five, said the father. 
 Oh, no, said the boy ; calling the tail a 
 leg would not make it a leg. [Roars of 
 laughter.] Men may call themselves 
 Democrats, but it does not make them 
 Democrats. The first great principle of 
 democracy is, according to Jackson, " the 
 Union must and shall be preserved," [ap 
 plause,] and there is where I stand to 
 night it must be preserved, no matter 
 from what quarter the assaults may come. 
 It must be preserved against all its ene 
 mies. [Renewed applause.] Why, sir, 
 pretended leaders of democracy as we 
 now have would have swamped even An 
 drew Jackson in his first quarter. [Roars 
 of laughter.] By their fruit ye shall 
 know them. Now is the time for every 
 Democrat, for every Jackson Democrat, 
 for every Republican, for every man who 
 is an honest man, to assist in maintaining 
 the government and putting down the re 
 bellion. [Voice : " How'r you going to 
 put it down ? "] Put it down as Saul put 
 down Agag, hew it right down through. 
 [Applause.] 
 
 But, fellow-citizens, the thing will all 
 come right by and by. The returned sol 
 diers, and they are in all parts of this 
 mass of people, will bring home their 
 stories, and will tell copperheadism how 
 much advantage there is to be gained by 
 shaping their course for political purposes, 
 and giving the country the go-by. What 
 we want is to concentrate public opinion 
 we want to bring the whole force and 
 power of the government where it can 
 rest on this rebellion ; and it must be 
 done. The masks must be torn from the 
 faces of all copperheads. One side or the 
 other of this question must be taken. 
 One is the side of truth, fair dealing. 
 
8 ] 
 
 honesty in the support of the government; 
 the other is the side of falsehood and 
 quibbling and denunciation of the govern 
 ment. The path of falsehood leads to 
 the rebel ranks, and in expressions of 
 sympathy and condolence with and for 
 traitors. Let each man take his position. 
 I have taken mine on the side of truth, 
 justice and the government. I know 
 what this government and these institu 
 tions have done for the great cause of 
 freedom* and knowledge and science. I 
 intend to maintain my position. Let them 
 attempt to drive me from it. Let them 
 come with all their party machinery and 
 party whips. " Lay on, Macduff^ and d d 
 be he who first cries hold ! -enough." 
 [Renewed applause.] The Abolitionists 
 have been forty years endeavoring to 
 destroy slavery, but Jeff. Davis, by making 
 and waging war upon the government, 
 has destroyed it in two years. [" Bully 
 for you."] He has buried it past resur 
 rection, and all the people cry Amen ! I 
 never agreed with the Abolitionists. They 
 abused me and I abused them. [Laugh 
 ter.] I settle my accounts as I go aloftg ; 
 and I don't know that our disagreement is 
 any reason why they should stand back 
 and see the government destroyed, and I 
 know it is no reason why I should. [Ap 
 plause.] / 
 
 Mr. D. alluded to the future of this 
 country, peopled, as it would be at no 
 distant day, by a hundred millions of 
 souls to the distress in the Old World 
 and the calls upon the new for bread -to 
 the abandonment of home and all dear to 
 them, and their coming here and enjoying 
 the blessings of free institutions with all 
 the benefits they confer. He did not see 
 how any man of foreign birth could take 
 the British side of this question. It is 
 not a struggle between Abolitionism and 
 slavery. It is a struggle between free 
 government and despotism and aristocracy 
 
 throughout the world. It is a struggle 
 for British rule on this continent. It is 
 the same spirit of despotism which abol 
 ished the Irish Parliament, and the same 
 that put the iron heel on the neck of Ire 
 land. No such government as ours ever 
 existed, or will exist again. Destroy H 7 
 overthrow it, and hope for a season will 
 bid the world farewell. Our country is 
 not a nation of nobility and crowned heads* 
 
 "HI fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, 
 Where wealth accumulates, and men decay, 
 Princes and lords may flourish or may fade '. 
 A breath can make them as a breath hath made} 
 But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, 
 "When once destroy'd can never be supplied." 
 
 What I wish is no party advantage in 
 this matter ; what I wish to see my fel 
 low-citizens, of all parties and all creeds, 
 rise up to the importance of this ques 
 tion ; what I wish is to throttle every 
 miserable politician who carries his party 
 banner above that of his country, until he 
 shall cry " pause." [ Cries of " good," 
 and applause.] What I wish is to see 
 our brave soldiers sustained in the field. 
 [Renewed applause and three cheers.] 
 What I wish is to see the loyal masses in 
 the rebel States strengthened and sus 
 tained ; what I wish is that disloyal and 
 bad men may be brought to condign pun 
 ishment. 
 
 I thank you, fellow-citizens, for this op 
 portunity to address you. I came not 
 prepared ; but this is a subject on which 
 I can talk whenever I get an opportunity. 
 [Applause.] I hope to live to see this 
 country vindicated. I believe I shall live 
 to see the clouds driven from the sky, and 
 all the stars in our bright escutcheon left, 
 and the blessings of free government per 
 petuated. 
 
 Mr. Dickinson took his seat, the audi 
 ence giving him cheer after cheer. The 
 band responded by playing " Columbia,
