Proclamation Of Edria d. Morgan, GoveyT0r Of H'
State Of Ne'c-lOrk.
A conspiracy, not the work Of day, but the result
of wears of false wicked and tratorous Vaccinations
has for several months disturbed the peace OF the Sste
Of New-York, and Of the Eedeal Union. IL move
meut. have been marked by violence ond fraud.
Wherever it Las manifested itself it has diregarded
the rights Of citizens cotrced them into the ranks OF Is
armies, and exercsed an absolute control over Penon
and properly in utter defiance Of tie Constitution ana
laws Of the land. Ambitious and desgniDg men, dls-
appoine in their personal aims, have been enabled
chiefly by misrepresentng the feelings OF one po uon
of the country toward the obcr to utup and exercise
a power which has become not only tyrannicai ahu
oppressive in several States, whOee Consitnllon"l
Governments it has temporarily suspended, but dan
cerous TO the entire Union; the pretense5 originally
held forth as justification Tor acis OF awltssnefs
ard treason have been Laid aside; the intention OF The
leaders of this wicked rebellion 70 destroy the Union
cemented by the blood Of orefatbers is now fully
manifest, and eated by an accidental success, they au'
dacjousy thresten the national capital. As Cmei
Magistrate Of the State it is my solemn duty TO warn
all good and loyal men Of the dangers TO which our
institutions are exposed and to urge upon them the
necessity of an earnest and Jealous corporation with
the authorities Of the State and General Governments
of cheerful contribution of their port the
public and of active enrolment in the forces now
being organized for the defense Of the Union, con-
WINGED that the tranquility ofbe country, so wantonly
dsmbed, can only be restored by the prompt and
vigorous auI preston of rebellion and treason wherever
they may appear TIE Representatives OF the people
Of the United States, lately convened in Congress at
the call of coustuton6lly elected President,
in view Of the peTs which surround the Union, have,
by legislative enactments provided for liberal supplies
of men and means for the enforcement of the Laws
and have thus invited a hearty and Jealous response
on the part Of several States. Hew-YOrk las never
wavered in her devotion 10 the Union. She prizes il
account of the many blessings which all parts Of the
country alike have received on il, Of tho
memory Of her patriot by whore blood it pur
chased and for the inestmable benefit il confers upon
tie present and secures 10 future generations aIer
mob response the call of the President in April las,
WIS such az preserved to her he proud title she has
~ long borne in the family Of States. Another siage
in the great rebellion bas been reached, and the Gov
eInmont, arprociatiHg tbo dangers now mcnacing 1t,
appeals for aid The whole county, the civilized
world, now looks 10 the State Of New-lofk. Let the
response lie worthy Of her history. Let her answer go
back IN full ranks OF earnest men, who, justly yauing
the magnitude OF the interests involved, temporarily
rcnquish their pursuits and prepare to meet the cris'
In witness whereof, ! have hereunto affixed the
priyy sesl Of hir State, at the City of Albany this
I'D day Of August in the year Of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and siKty-one.
