York---Lincoln's Proclamation
Denounced.

\ meeting was held 1T the Demo.
cratic headquarters in New York, last
Monday night, ut which about LOCO
persons we're present. Hon, james
Brooks, Of the New York Express, first
addressed the meeting. After de
%nouncing the emancipation procIama-
ton:
lie then spoke OF tho second procIa-
nation, saying to the people, if you
agitate this subject YOU shall be pat in
Fort Lafayette. let them try it,
lLanghter) Ii wasa proper coroltary
or the tlst. The provost marshal
(hisscs) of.thc State or city Of New
York is made the Judge Of our loyalty,
aud any personal enmity may obtain
the incarceration Of any II Of us.
There are two points in the proclama.
ton. The first is, the suspension Of
civil and the establishment Of martial
law, and the second IS the suspension
Of the AGbca$ corpus.
That right which our English tulherS
have had since the dark ages is anuul-
led bya proclamation, and citizens :,ro
arrested without knowing why or
wherefore. Qntamous.) Never did
the revolutionary fathers, who struck
bright and free the sparks OF liberty,
delegate such power to the Executive.
Could they tell that for his speech he
should not be in Fort Lafayette TO-.
morrow. (No, no. Hit was nota
period OF war we should have no hest
fancy in saying, "Rcsistanco to tyrAnts
is obedience 10 God.' .lGremendous
a~pplausc.) The balIot-boX is the rem.
edy. From huge professions, bearing
the red cap ofliborty, and protest, beg,
and impIoro Il return Of our liberties.
You'ro right.) Read the Constitution
Of the United States, securing to every
man freedom Of speech, trial by jury,
and protection in his person and prof.
erty. (Cheers.)
lie did not propose over to give up
the Constitution, or surrender to the
rebels. (Applause.) But he proposed
10 carry on the war on u different
principle, and taking The sword in the
right hand and the Constitution ia the
left, and save the country through the
Constitution. (ChccrS.) Jie would
surround the rebels and leave treason
20 sting itself to death. The geographic
cal idea OF ~ovcrrunuiag The Southern
territory with uuacclimatcd Northern
men isa theory the most fatal, lie ab.
horred secession aud abolition cqya.ly.
jeff Davis was u rebel only two years
Old Wendell Phillips is, by his own
confession, u rebel twenty years old.
(Applauso.) With the exception Of
the little Republic OF San Marine, on
a peak Of the Apprentices, we are
working out the grand problem. Tyr
ants in Europe are using all their pow.
er to subvert our principles. More
than eve now is it necessary to i'm
press upon the Northern mind that
"Liberty, liberty, liberty and Union,
now and forever, arc Il and i~nscpara.
bic" (Cheers.)
Mr.. Schnablc, who was imprisoned in
Fort Lafayette, then addressed the
meeting.
Mr.. Lincoln, he said, will be suppor.
ted by all when he acts coustjtutionaIly
[Applausc. We have already buried
100000 men or more, and saddlcd tho
country with q debt nearly equal tc
Great Britain's. There was Il time
when, if q few men had been treatec
for their attempts at destroying the la
Dor and peace Of this country, as Ioya
men have since been treated, b. imprjs
oned, this might have been prevented
(Applause.] The clap-trap knayery O
heSecretary ofStato is double-tongned
like the serpent. When he uttor5 any.
thing, be shapes it in such Il way that
II the party he belongs to turns a back
somerset tomorrow he belongs to turn.
