Dickinson made an able and truthfnlepeech on -the.vpresent icrisis at the meeting of; merchants - and other national men held in New York on Saturday; We make an exéract, on twoasfollows: - ' V The free States must be brought up to the censidemtion of a. great 'piulblio ‘dnt-y. ,The South haie not. offended. us; ‘ We cannot say they have ever laid finger upon us.

I believe that South Carolina . will secede, so for as thelmovement. of her conven tion can do it, on the 17th or 18th _of thismon'th, and events must transpire shortly after which will bring all cotton States in association with her, and eventually every State which is a. slave State, and intends to continue, such, will go along together, This, in as certain as the laws of gravity,‘ outline is a_blind man and mad men who cannot see it. ' All‘thst we can now do is to get time to convince the Southern people that there is a returning sentiment of truth and justice in the Northern States ;' that the honest messes have been misledj and have misunderstood the irritating queStion, as I be lieve they have, and upon proper considerotion will go back to their (mm members of this confederac'y, and will welcome back our south ern brethren to the ‘great' family of'political, social, and moral equals. [Applause] ' ' Our constitutional and federal laws, I repeat, are well enough, Our obnoxious State laws should be repealed, and in their place epublic sentiment should be set up and borne aloft, as the great law-giver of olden; times'set up the brazen serpent, that every one who had been bitten by abolitionism will look on it. and .be healed- [Greet applause] ' ' IMPORTANT non ALBANY The Albany Evening; Jourhal publiéhes a, lead: ing edifmrial from the pen bf Than-low Wat}.— It takes strong cohaei‘véfije ground; apd whilg maintaining the éonstitutionnlily of the pvt-inci ples bf‘the 'Rephb‘h'cgn phriytadviggs sucll'l‘a eompromiée as will get’tle existing'difi‘iculfiqg and ayert." the‘ évila if. preseht thrgdteuinz the, Union.

This, in view of the surroundings of the territory belonging to the republic ;‘ in View of the fact that. ,forlfour years at least freedom will have fair play, and in view also of two other elements of emigration and census—this, We say, almost constrains us to believe that we may now confide the future of the Territories to the intelligence and patriotism of those who are to inhabit them. Or, if this is inadmissible, there is'another, which contemplates a division of the remaining terrritory of the United States as in 1820. when the Missouri Compromise line was established.
