Wastincton, Sept. 16—8 ?. M. Ttis due to General Cass to eta‘e that the letter writ: ten by him to the President, which has been noticed in the pap-re, was a private communication, and simply ox- Pressed his confidence in General Piorce’s honesty and ntegrity, and in the patriotism and wisdom of his in- Gugural. Whilst General Cass was thus free in expressing his trust in the President, he seys not a word about Mr. Marcy or the cabinet; nor does he allude to the Policy of the adainistraticn in the matter of appoint. ments—the only policy of the cabinet yet devéloped. He avows hisopinion thst the President’s path has been one of great aifficulty, and hopes that the rectitude of his principles will iasure him success, promising him his cordial support. This we know to be the true character of the letter. X,Y. % Massachusctts Free Soll Convention. NOMINATIONS FOR STATE OFFICERS, ETC. + Boston, Sept. 16, 1853.

DICKINSON, In Reply vo a Late Asticl« it the Wasalogtun Union, clasing Him amoug THE CONVERTED FRYE SOILERS, Binowamton, N. Y., 80 t 13, 1853. My Dear S1#—I bave this moment received your favor of the 10a calling my att-ution to an article in the Washingt Union, charging me ‘n substance with having favorea’ and ad ocated the Wilmot pro- viso in the Senate of .the United States, in 1847, aad precenting partial extracts of a speesh I thon made to prove it. The **‘ree coil’ journals of this State havo lately made a similar discovery, pobably aided by similar optics; but as these journals, because cf this very speech, and the note thereon, honored me with the distinction of stereotyping my .vame, enclosed ia black lines, at the head of their cola. uns, for moatha, ard recommended that I be buroalia effigy, and treated with personal indignities an! violence, it gave me little concern to see them endaavoring to direct attention from themselves by avsaillng me ia an opposite direction. Nor, since the Way hington Ontow hos furnished i's contribution, should I have thought the matter worth my notice. Those’ who pursue me in my retirement, whether ae dpen aud manly opponents, or otherwise, have their eervia? to perform and their parts assigned them, and I have no more disposition to disturb their vocation than I have to inquire as to the nature and amount of thei wages, or question the manner in which they execuie their work. Iwas honored with a seat in the Senate of this State four years, and thére introduced resolutions upon the suoject of slavery, and spoke ani voted thereon; was President of the same body two years, and was seven years a Senator in Congress—frors the annexation of Texas until after the pa sage of the compromise measures. I have, too, for the last twenty years, often been a member of oonventions— county, State and national; have presented resolu- tions, made speeches and proposed addresses; aud if, in my whole political course, a speech, vote or re- solation, can be found favoring free soil sentiments, I will consent to occupy a position in the public judgment as degraded as tho most malevolent of, thas faction or its most convevient accomplice. Near the close of tho sessiun of 1847 returned to my seat in the Senate from a most painfal and dis- tresaing dumestic affliction, aad foand tae Three Mil: lion bill under discussion, during which the Wiluot roviso, (so ca !ed,) was offered, and my colleague, Jen. Dix, presented roeolutious from our Legisla- tore, passed with great unanimity, instructing us to vote in fuvor of the proviso. Gen. Dix advovated the adoption of the proviso, and voted for it. Ispoke against its adoption and voted against it, and, in so doing, aroused sgainst me iree svil aud abolition ma- lignity throughout the country. t ‘The main subject under disscussion was the pro- piety of placing a fund of threo millions in the ands of tho Prosldent for the purpose of negotiating a treaty of peacc\ with Mexico by tho purchase of territory. The privico was ao incidental questiun, and treated accosdingly. Neither my framo of mind nor the exigencies of the occasion uffurded me an adequate opportunity to consider or discuss the question; but the whole drift and spirit of waat I did aay upon the subject, although imperfectly re- ported, was against ull slavery agitation, as will be seen by the tollowing extracts: — “ ‘As theuga it were not enough to legi-late for tho gov- erement of such teritury ay may be precured under acd by virtue of this approcriation, if apy shell bo = which of cour.e rests in uncertainty—this amendment, fornoth, provides. for the domestic regulation of “any territory on the continent of Averics whica shut! hore. after be scquied by ce Semened to the United Beutos tm any other matter wi 7 “And thus thie wackkeame Pacific measnze must be surjsaved to eof tho Dacarde of sefcat the war mut be prosecuted after with its engircs of destrue:ion, or abandoaed by a cravea and disgraceful reizest; ene campaiga after anotuer be Jost, while the wily and treacherous foe and his natarat aly, the romin, axe preying upon toe brave hearts of our pat-lotic sovdiery; thet we may ogisiate, not merely for the domestic guverpment of Mexican territory, in tho oxpectstion that we may hereat.er obtain it, but tuat we May erect barriers to prevent the sugar manufacturer cotten planter of the South from extend:ng his plan- tation and bia slavery towards the polar regions If, then, the popwar judgmest aball commend that pioneer bone velence, which seek to provide for the ment of territory which, though its scquisition yet --sleeps in the wide abyen of po sibility,” may be acquired by thia pro- po.ed negotiation, if the appropriatioa shad be made, ‘and o negotiation opened, and the President shall propose toaccept for indemnity, and the Mexican government w cede a of territory, terms shail be stipula- ted and a treaty be made between the two govern ments and ratified by both; and the territory be org izea by she legislation of Congrose; what adequate encomi. ums hail he lavian upon that more comprenenaive phi. las thropy and profound ctateamanship, which in a bil! de- signed to terminate a bloody and protracted war, raging in ‘tho beart of an enemy's coantry, cas s in:o the discussion this apvle of domostic discord. under the pretence of extencing the benevclent mts of freedom over gay terri- tory which may at avy time, or in apy magner, or upon any part of the continent, acquired by the United Sater’ [tia ne justification for tae introduction of this element of strife and controversy at this time and upon ‘this cecasion, that it ta sbstractly just and proper and that the Soushern States should take no exception to its provisions, All knew the smouldering materials which the intreduction of this topic would ignite —the sectional stnfe and local bitterness which would follow ia its tra‘n; all bad seen and road its fatal history at the last sersion, aod knew too well what controvercios, delays, and vexations must havg over it—what crimination rectimmation would attend upon its toilsome aad pre- carious progrese and what hazard would wait upon the revult—how it would erray man agaiost man, State against Sate, section aguinst section, the South against the North, aod the North against the South—and what must be, not only ouect und positive mis- chiefs, bat how its disorganizing and porni- cious influences must be exteaded to other mea- sures necessary to sustain the arm of gevern- ment, This bill not only outtered defeat at the last sos sin, but has boon subjected to the delays, hazards and Doffetings of this, by reason of this misplaced proviso.
