We have the pleasure OF laying before readers The
following admirable resolutions Of the Democratic Re-
publican General Committee of the city of New York
They embrace two distinct objectsrs express recog
milton of the great principle OF intervention, and Of
course an opposition to the Wilmot Proviso and
ondiy, a compliment justly due 10 the firm and able
ator from New York, Governor Dickinson, who, from
the beginning to the end OF this desperate struggle has
proved himself hgh-minded manly, and enlightened
American senator.
We are happy to see the democracy of New York
pudiaiing, now anu forever the accursed Wlmot Pro-
viso. and necessary consequence, repudaling all
political cooperation with its friends and abetlers. II

which penetrate the whole country, and, by their sepa
