The Proclamation in New York.

The den where the copperheads commingle,
and from which they sally forth upon their
malignant schemes intent, Is very much DIS
turbed by the recent Proclamation by the
President. They appeal in vain to Cover
nor Seymour to issue & counter proclama-
ton, and to rescue them in their extremity
Their deeT-lAid plans and carefully concoct-
ed conspiracies have failed them. They are
smitten and crushed by the powerful hand
of the President.
says leading New York journal in dee
cribing their past and present condition
They had organized an association, collected
funds and nstured plans TO prevent conscrIpis
filing NJ the wasted ranks Of our armies. Ar
rsngenents had been completed to secure the es-
cape Of non-resistant Democrats by M appeal to
the courts Officers had been hired attorneys had
been engaged judges and been dined and vIned,
and con.cripts had been chosen for the expert
msnt, when, like clap Of thunder from = clear
sky came the proclamation Of the President, and
shook all their plans into chaos. Now, they can
not redeem the pledge they have made 70 with
hold the drafted men from the ranks. ono con-
dItion on which votes had been promised To them
by the conscripts and friends has been forfeited.
Their disloyol zeal without discretion has made
them conspicuous traitors, and they fear the
wrath to come. In vain they invoke the inter
ierance Of Gov Seymour, for he is in the hands
Of men whose policy like water suits to the in
CAPABILITIES Of the channel through which 1t flows.
In this dilemma they collect on the street cor
ners and IL the liquor saloons, and in undertones
swear against the Government, and hope
thst foreign intervention will soon give relief to
their unfortunate brethren IN the Confederscy.
