Verdict OF the Working Men OF New
rk.-Anti-Coercion, etc.

enthusiastic demonstration of the work
ling lnenaot New York city, against cocrcing
the Southern States was held In that city on
Tuesday night. The attendance wasyery large,
and the sentiments expressed and resolutions
passed were Of the most decided character, ara
| show decidedly that the working men of the
great commercial metropolis hare a due COM
iccption Of the value of the South, as the great
market for. their goods aud manufactures.
isonth Of that point il is to be hoped aliks
estimate, at least, will be manifested Of tho
value Of the Southern market. AS a proof OF
the soundnesss 81. the views held by the New
York working men, we annex their resolutions
as follows Z.
Isp. .Resolged, That we regard the present moye-.
meat of several Of the Southern States, in ro-
suming the powers they delegated to the Gem.
erals Government as an effort to preserve onr
Constitution from being oyerthrown by Abra<,
hamLincola, as his party platform requires
and demands; him to do.
Resolred, That We are for tho Union-the'
Union of onr Liberties, as espounded by the
recognized authority upon the basis of equal
Justice liberty and immunties to all the citizens
5of alhthe States. - Y ss3..s
Resoluea, That believing that the people Of
the Southern States are. and ever have been,
content to remain III this Union under the
CONSTITUTION as originally designed, We deeply
syInpathize with them in their unwilling rssis-
}tance to an5lncoming Administration, whichby
a perverted and unauthorized construction of
The Constitution tends to destroy their peace,
welfare and happiness.
~ Resofued, That we are firmly and unalterably
opposed to any and every attempt on the part
of tile Government or the people Of the North
tosccerce the Southern States, or any one Of
them into submission to the wiII IF tic MAJOR,
ty of the North, when that will has been au-
thoritatTeIy declared by tile Supreme Conrtto ];
to tie true constructio of the.
Constitution Of the United States. 3
,r1eesolged, That we will, by all proper ands
Legitimate means, oppose, idiscountena and
prevent the Republican party from making any
aggressive attempt, under the plea of enforcing
the laws 2 and preserving the Union, = upon
the rights of the Southern States, believing as.
we do that any such attempt can on result in!S
"a protracted and deeJncliye cis war toaattaipss
an end which that party can readily and dpe acea-s
bly, accomplish by abandoning their hostility
to the Sopth, and dec eiarng tleir willingness to-
iaBide by the4g Constitution, as; ;jnterpre by
the Supreme Court and accepted hs. al. cont.
lscryatiye men of the ouptry.
Resolutd, That we regard the Republican.
party, which, to use the Language Of tfetson,
@has wrigglcd itself into power, under the: ]:
auspices ofIaorality, as enbodying the policy;
that Great Britain has pursued for q quartctof
.asccntury IN endcavoring to equalize the races
{on.this Continent to reduce white men to q.
forbidden level with negros and thus oYerthrows
not only the Union, but destroy the glorioas.
