The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-04-16

The New YoRK TIMES, like the Lincoln admins
tration, having been for some time in doubt as to
what course was best to be pursued. has now
adopted decided line of policy. 1t appears ra-
Their to ignore the fact, which the World-a Repub-
lcan journal-states, that there is large "peace-
at-any price party in New York 1t is possible
however, that the Times, which pitches head long
| into hepuollcanlsm, has more valuable information
and is gifted with keener perception. 1t says:
| The reverberations from Charleston harbor have
| brought about what months of logic would have
been impotent to etect-the rapid condensation of
public sentiment in the free States The North is
now unit Party lines have shrivelled, as land
marks disappear before the oupouring of volcanic
| lava The crucial test of this is New York CITY,
the spot most tainted by the Southern poison. Not
the thick insulation which the commercial spirit
puts between the conscience and duty-not the OBJ
lqulty engendered by long years of the most per-
verse political educatiOn-haye been able tn with
stand the electric fire of loyal indignation evoked
by the assassin stroke aimed at the heart of the
Republic. There no such ardent support
ers of the Government as those who have been
lifelong Democrats. 1t is fact full of omen and
one which persons imperfectly acquainted with
the impulses that lie at the bottom of the popular
heart could never have anticipated, that the very
roughs of the city are aroused, and bring their
passionate devotion to the cause of their country
One intense, inspiring sentiment of patriotism has
fused all other passions in its fiery heat. Let the
Administration now know that twenty millions of
loyal freemen approve its act, and imperiously de-
mand the vindcation of the integrity and majesty
of the Republic.
VINDIcATlNG THE PRoFEssIoN.-In New Orleans a
few evenings since, John E. Owens performed the
part of rowing young gentleman who had UNDER
