The OLD New YORK PLAN We have befo

The OLD New YORK PLAN We have before
us an old volume, printed in 1892, containing
s.tLe laws of the State Of New Yuik, and prin
cipally those passed under tie administration
of that good old Democratic Republican Cow
ernor George Clinton. Curious to see how
the people of the Revolutionary age managed
their political matters in a time of war. we
have studied its pages with no little interest.
First, then, we find that the recreant sons O,
the Slate-the copperheads and reactionists Of
that day who took part with Great Britain in
her quarrel with the colonies, or who even af-
fected to hold position Of neutrality, were
treated by the Legislature of New York in a
very decided and peremptory matter. In
l778 it enacted statute, which reads in this
wise:
"WHEREAs, Certain of the inhabitants of
this State have, during the course of the pre-
sent cruel war waged by the King and Parlia-
ment of Great Britain against the people Of
these States, affected to maintain neutrality
which there Is reason to suspect was, In many
instances, dictated by poverty Of spirit and
an undue attachment to property; and, where
as, divers of the said persons, some OF whom
advocated the American cause until 1T became
serious, have notwithstanding the forbearance
of their couutrymen, and contrary to their
faith pledged by their paroles, ungratefully
and insidiously, by artful Misrepresentation
and subtle dissemination of doctrines, fears
and apprehe ensions, false in themselves and in
iurious to the American cause, seduced certain

THE CRISIS AND THE ISSUE BEFORE Us-OUR
Policy AND Our DUTY.-We have arrived at
the crisis of life or death to the rebellion. Its
leading Southern advocates and organs have
confessed that their sinking canse can only be
saved from speedy collapse by the most despe.
rate efforts Of resistance. From Richmond to
Mobile, from Charleston to Vicksburg, it is ad-
mitted that the land and naval forces of the
Union which now encirce the rebellious States
are truly formidable at every important point,
and are resolutely preparing for decisive work;
but still the chiefs and trumpeters of the rebel
lion are iDsolent, defiant and hopeful With un.
affected contempt and disgust they renounce
their despicable Northern sympathizers, and all
their degrading propositions in the way of armis
tices, peace conventions and constitutional con.
cess,ons. In the strongest possible expressions
OF scorn and hate the rebel leaders tell these
Northern peace politicians:-"We want no re-
cancellations with you upon any terms; we are
fighting for an independent Southern Confeder.

William Cannon, Governor of Delaware, has
issued the following proclamation. We COM
mend it to the attention Of those who talk and
speak sedit;on and treason in these parts. II
will be wise and discreet for all that class oi
persons to understand that they owe allegiance
to the Government of the United States as para
mount" to all others, and that they must "obey
the constituted authorities thereof" before "any
other human authority whatsoever :"
To the People of the State of De'cspare:
In special message communicated to the
General Assembly on the 80 day of March in
slant, informed that body of my purpose to is-
sue my proclamation iu relation to th act entitled
"An act to prevent illegal arrests in this State,
and therein briefly set forth the reasons which
impelled me to this conclusion.
Its provisions are at variance with the Interest
of the State--calculated to lessen the estimation
in which her people ere held, as faithful to the
Government OF the United States-to enboiden
those who sympa,hzs with rebellion, and to dis
courage loyal men from the performance OF their
duty, in discovering and .hwa.tipg the designs
OF the emiesaries OF treason.
To the end, therefore, that the evil operation
of the enactment may be averted, and loyal citi
Zons may ieel secure IN tne!r euorts against nut
eign traitors and domestic conspirators, l, VII
liam Cannon, Governor OF the State Of Delaware,
do, by this my proclamation, enioin upon the
good people of this State that they hold true
allegiance to the Government of the United
States as paramount to the State of Delaware,
and that they obey the constituted authorities
thereof before tie Legislature of Delaware, OF
any other human authority whatsoever.
I further enjoin that they be vigiiant in de :
tecting any conspiracy against the national Gov.
ernment. and dilgent in preventing aid and com.
fort to the enemy, that they promptly assist the
national magistracy whenever invoked, and that
they freely communicate any information which
may the better enable it to suppress insurrection
or to intercept supplies designed for those in
arms against its authority; and auY one so act
lug, will save harmless from the operation Of
the statute aforesaid, or of any other statute, of
like nature, that may be enacted, so far as it
shall be attempted to be enforced against him
for faithfully dischareing his duty to bis country
In testimony whereof, have hereunto set my
band and caused the great seal Of the said State
to be affixed, at Dover, this llth day of March
a. D., 1858, and of the said State the S7th.

Gen. Negiey and the Copperhead..

The following was written by Gen. James S.
Negley, 10 friend in Butler county, Pa.
CAMP AT MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn. !
February l5 1868.
DEAR SIR-1f l ever felt blush of shame
aud anger against citizens Of my native State,
it was when l learned of this shameful party
| strife, aiming to secure cessation of HOSTILE
ties; an offer of the olive branch of peace to
traitors who have insulted our national tradi-
tions trampled upon the graves of our revolu-
tionary fathers, sacked our public treasury
and armories, robbed commerce of its honor,
violated the sacred pledges of representatives,
hurled brands of discord into our councils, let
loose the bitter waters Of strife in our social
circles, and prostitu,ed every manly and wo.
manly sentiment to the hellsh purpose of de-
stroying our Government. Have they not
maltrea,ed our wounded, robbed our prisoners,
and outraged the dead? Have they not broken
every compact for the amelioration of the hor-
rors Of war? Have they not exiled thousands
from their own fresides to perish or live like
wild beasts in the mountains? Who will dare
deny that they have committed all these bar
barities?
Yet in view of all these facts, miserable,
shameless demagogues, cowardly traitors at
home, seek to force the Government into an
unholy alliance with those perfdious people
Why should there be an effort made to shield
the Southern traitors from suffering the full
penalty of their crimes? Do they not deserve
ii? Is it not the legitimate fruit Of treason
and rebellion? Let no peace, no prosperity,
10 safety dwell in their lands. until they lay
down their arms and acknowledge the Govern.
ment they are endeavorlng to destroy. If war
iu terrible earnest can not conquer peace,
what CAM If the resources of wealthy peo-
Pile, and the determined energy and bravery of
great States contendipg for their birth right.
can rot crush the mushroom Confederacy,
what can? Will it be done by dishonoring
ourselves in humbly craving their submission
and appealing to them to restore the Govern
ment.
No, they would answer your appeal with the
thunder Of artillery, and treat your submission
with defiant scorn. No, let it be spoken in
the councils of the aged, and taught in the
lessons of our youth, that the honor and integ-
r:ty of our Union "must and shall be preser-
ved," and the penalty of treason is death.
Yours, truly, JAS. s. NEGLEY,
Brigadier General

In order to aid in battling the schemes Of the
Copperheads IN Indiana, the Commissioners ol
Marion county have offered to lend the Governor
Sl5,O 900 to carry on the benevolent institutions.
Other counties are expected to follow the exam
ple, and thus spare Indiana the shame of being
set down under the stigma of disloyalty. 1t is
asserted that the Hoosier women would melt
their teaspoons to pay the expenses OF the State
for the next two years, rather than consent to

The Missouri Republican asks us, with some
PREDATORY remarks which indicate a lacerated
spirit or bad temper, whether we would res
gard it "dishoporable to acknowledge the inde-
pendence of the Southern Confederacy." We
answer categorically We believe tie war
to have been conceived in iniquty and to have
been prosecuted in spirit of malignity not for
the preservation or restoration Of the Union as
an end, but for the enforcement of certain po-
ltical principles in violation of law, compacts
and compromises: We declare our belief to be

KEEpERs.-A great many of the keepers of
boarding houses, who have, through a good
many years, managed to keep place of refuge
and entertainment open for every passer-by,
have succumbed to the times within the last
week, and closed their establishments to board
ers. The alarming price of provisions, cou-
pied with the fact that the board already de-
mauded would not justify an advance, appears
to have determined the action Of the boarding
house keepers in the premises. At least .
dozen declined housekeeping on the 1st

town and compelled to seek quarters else
