RECEPTION THE PRocLAMArIoN rs New York.
-unbonnded appears. to be the triumph with
which the Proclamation has been received in New
York, and indeed in Pennsylvania, and wherosoe-
yer beyond the Potomac, public sentiment has been
manifested! The late opposition generally receive
it with applause, the Van Buren, prints with extacy
and the old federal papers with Joyful surprise.
Before the question had been subjected to this
test, one could have formed no ADEQUATE coneeo-
ton Of the low cbb to which the ancient principles
of the Republican Party had been reduced In the
wide extent of the non-slave holding Statos, there
scarcely seems one to be found willing to do them
reverence. Old Pennsylvania herself has forgot
ten her generous struggle and her old principles,
and in surveying tho wide detection, all must
mourn the mischef which personal parties and
man-worship have entaed upon tho country
Here lies the of the evils, and all the evils
of the times For our own part we confess we
have snned in this particular, as we'll as Others
but we here protest our determination, while We
remain connected with politics, to sin thus no
more: and were our voice potential, would raise
it as the voice of the Prophet was raised to Jcrusa
lem, and cal! for the establishment of parties
upon the old and only safe foundations Of Principle
and the Constitution.
1t is confessed by all, and triumphcd in by tho
disciples OF Hamilton that the Proclamation esta
blishcs all the strong maxims of that sch ool and
sweeps into annihation, those great adverse prin
ciPles, consecrated in 1901: What must be the sur
prise OF every rejecting man, to find them sustain
ed, aye, gloried in, by the entire $50 callcd Rcpub
can Press of the North, and more especially by
that Party which arrogates the exclusive title of
Republican To this melancholy extremity have
men, sincerely attached the doctrines 49, been
conducted by man worship. We invite attention
to the Albany Argus.
