OUR SYBACUSE CORRESPONDENGE. Syracuse, July 4, 1853. Ovation by Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson— Vigorous Discus- sions and Patriotic Sentiments— England as 6 Teacher of” Naticnal Morals—Greoiness of the Empire State—The Union strong in the Affections of the People—Splendia’ Dinner at the Syracuse House, dc., &c. I stopped at Syracuse to-day, to heer the Fourth o | July oration by the Hon. Daniel $ Dickinson, and I have been richly rewarded for my trouble. It was full of the prineiples of republican liberty, which makes our land the garden of the world—which attracts hither the op- pressed of every elime, and in its spirit of patriotism, was worthy the founders of the republic, After briefly apd appropriately alluding to the first settlements of our eonntry, he referred to our présent attitudeas s prople and government, and then branched off iniea formal consideration of the competency of other mations to be | our teachers in national morals. He would gas by Rus sia, with its military despotiem, its serfa, its knoat, aad ita exiles to Siberia ; he would pass by fickle France, whieh loved to create despotisms for the sake of upset ting them; he would not consider poor, proud, and superannusted Spain, nor yet ferocious, perfi- dious, tyrannical and blood-thirsty Austria; but would consider the competency of cultivated, and polished, and powerful Englund to beoome our tenehor in national morals. The cloquent orator thea went oa for pearly helf an bour, in as rain of withering ravcasm and invective, exposing the shimeloss and wicked op- yreesions of England in her eollieries—ta her factories; in her oppression of Ireland—denouneing her as a nation. whose history was written in oppression aud blood. (Great applause.) And yet, in a spirit of siekly rentimen- tality, che was lecturing us upon institutions established here by ber own le i: and which eoald not be up- rooted if we would. (Great cheering.) [he woman’s rights movement—another ism of ‘demented, buzzing. reformers’’—was treated in a roanner which’ brought down repeated rounds Se mepanse. The spiritual rappecs- received a parsing notice, He then depicted the bovetita whieh had resulted from the un’on of the States in glow- ing terms, and declared him who would raise a a against it as more to be deprecat cursed, than the wretched tyrant who built s monument | of seventy thousaud human skull. (Applause) The | vast extent, the growth, and the power of eur country, | were depicted in glowing and eloq rent colors, carryin forward the vision to the tii when the stars anc | stipes shall afford protect'on to ope hundred | inillions of free aud happy people.
