This letter contains tenths so well stated, thtit we commend its persual to our readers, feeling confi dent itmust meet-the approval of ev ery good Democrat : To the 'Honorable ,George M. Dallas, Charles .1. Ingersoll, Peter McCall, John Cadwalader, George Sharswood, A. V. Parsons, FredelJek Fraley, Henry M. Phillips, Edge, at►d others. Gentlemen.—l have had the pleasure to receive, to-day, yOur communication; and beg you toeccept tny thanks for the flat tering terms in whiihyou have expressed your views upon what,has been, to me, a subject of anxious : reflection. It his been my. earnest; desire,'at this great juncture in our IVatiOnal affairs, to give my humble services where they may be most useful to my country. With this purpose I took the field ;.and holding, dur ing the period of the Extra Session, a sep arate and important command, I did not feel at liberty to quit it to take the seat in Congress to which you had, in my ab sence, elected me. I have come, for a day or two, from the great camp in front of Washington, where I command a regiment •that has been to me a source of the highest pride and satis faction, and I shall leave it with feelings of regret that I will not attempt to express here. But, I yield to the representations of the wishes ofmy constituents; conveyed to me in your letter and in other forms.— shall, therefore, tender, through the prop er authorities, the resignation of my mili tary commission from the State, and, as your representative, will return to Wash ington. It is true' that, according to high author ities, I might at once hold the;. two posi tions; but it is plain that I could not per form the duties of both, and, waiving , the bare legal question, it seems to, me to be incompatible with the character of a rep resentatiVe and a legislator to be a paid officer, subject to the orders of the Exec utive, and present in his place only by the revocable leave of a military superior. I have, therefore, teached the conclusion that your representative must not now be ' thus trammelled; yet, should the tide of war, indeed, roll around the National Cap ital, I hope that my brethren in arms will find room in their ranks for one soldier more. My political opinions are what they have always been. I am' a Democrat— never more onethan at this hour. I re joice that it was with my name upim your banners that you overthrew the Republi can party in this city.. - When I say I am a Dernocrat, I do not mean that I belong to any knot of politi cians. When I say lam a Democrat, I mean that I have ever maintained those principles which, under God, made and preserved us a nation ; those great'nation al 'principles of justice and equality for all the States which, so long as they were practiced, made our various institutions and interchangeable commodities bonds of strength and union rather than grounds for strife. This, .at least, we may say for the Dein ocratie party—it rated at .their true val ue fantastic theories, the Whimste4 the "isms," the questions of mere phraseoloffy, that men, calling themselves statesmen, have preferred to peac.a, to union, to the gradual progress - and developenient of each section, and all .races in dtie relation ofnatural causes; This, too, we may say for the. Democratic partyl—while it main tained its sway, "Secession!" was a little, baffled clique; as the :Republican p arty rose,."Secession" became "an army with banners." Nor was the foresight,. of the Republi can leaders 'wider than their patriotism.— The false prophets of the party promised their followers that three months should see the end of all the:trouble; and when war came upon them, even they wanted only three months volunteers to end it.— They created and f6stered that intoxicat ing self-confidence that was the cause of our earlier reverses, They had so persis tently abused that part of the American people that lived-across a geographical line, that they had come, at last, to under rate and despise them, and Republican or atery summoned its hearers not to stern encounters, but only to pays and pilage. When the national flag was struck down at Charlestop, and the national cap ital was threatened by Secession, the North rose like one 'Man. The world saw with astonishment the gieat uprising of the people; Europe prejudged the issue in our favor ; yet, as if smitten whith blind nees, the Republican leaders seemed striv ing to waste and dissipate, instead of to seize and use, the noble.rnaterial for great armies, which was, with`setircely any lim it, placed at ,their disposal. The soldier who offered himself for the public service found that he must ear-wig some politi cian before he could be allowed the privi lege to fight or die for his country.. Men began to say that the war was .to be made "a black Republican job." Politicians were put at the head of troops —politicians who thought that to wear lace and feathers, and to pocket pay, was the whole duty of the officer--feasting and frolicking and speechmaking took tbe place of training and discipline; and, while the officer spoitted and -revelied, , the rank and file were robbed of their first right— the right to skillful guidance and instruc tion. The reins were nominally put into the hands of a venerable chieftain ; but ev ery politician, every "able editor," took a pull at them, till they upset thhcoaCh. Amid shouts' of "On to Actichmond, 4 the North, withlntleemingsavniallors,'.fiattnd itself citithurnhereft . trylitsint of con filet, and the battle of I)tdijtun proved that ,die Adininistration er itirbwn itiingtli nor -the eisearre.`-;--. "Where then were our legional" we may ask of it. But the battle of Bull- Bun was not without its fruits for us. Panicstrick en selfishness, seeking self - preservation, lighted on those who could save it. The direction. of the army passed into the hands of soldiers. A General, horn here among us, restored to their supremacy the martial virtues that insure success in war; trained and competent officers seconded his efforts, scores of imbeciles have been pushed out of service ; and this , work still progresses. The Democratic party will sustain the men—the IlleCleflans, ti4DOPonts-=who have in charge the honor of our flag on landand sea. Let, everyivtiere, 'the peo ple put in office men "v.Tho will not see the war become "a party job;" let the admin istration Of the Governmeht be such as to attract, not repel, the doubtfirl States.— Th - en+the contest may be continued with success and ended with honor. We May yet see the authors ofour national troubles; those twin fomenters of discord—the Ab olitionist of the North and lhe SecesSion ist of the South--reduced again to the harmless insignificance in which Demo racy long held them. And - if the event baffles these hopes, the government that embraces the great, rich and populous States of the North, must sink to no hunt ble,. no degraded piaci arnongthe nations. National prosperity too nearly allied to national dignity to suffer us to stand- in: the' relation of the vanquished to those who never can secede from geographical con nection ; with whom daserelations, +war like or amicable, must continue alivays. The Democratic party sought to (keep the peace among the States with - honor to them all:;.but while the war lasts, into :A which thebolittonists of the N - orth,.. and the "precipitationists" of the South have hurried us, let us demand that a. firm And wise administration of the Government shall evoke and honestly apply our milita ry resourdes, in which the nations most fa mous in arms have not surpassed nor equalled us. In conclusion,. gentlemen, let me say that I am !deeply sensible of the honor of representing this old city ; for but District is the old city that our fathers knew and loved. As your representative, I Will exercise the right.of free speech, and _will strive to maintain, for all, the cherished rights, the enjoyment of.which constitutes civil liber ty. My stay here does not allow, me to ac cept the , compliment of a public dinner, to which you do me the honor to invite• me. To see you and otharvalued friends will at all times afford the greatest pleasurelo Respectfully and truly. your ob't ser vant, CHARLES J. BIDDIre. Sir If 'Arlen like the Courier saw themselves as others see them they would not take advantage of the lib erty accorded them by mob law, and denied to others, to abuse without stint men as patriotic and loyal as they ever dared to be, simply because they are Democrats.
