New-York daily tribune., 1863-04-15

upon the opening Of the late session Of Congress, De
Eberately printed and published to the world, in hi
annual volume Of Diplomatic Correspondence, tn
above extraordinary dispatch, 30 egregiously d,
famatory, not only of Congress- but of the Presden
whose Proclamation Of Sept. %. was then in th
Secretarys hands, and in the hands of every peopl
and Government in Christendorn. And as if :
show that the publication Of the dispatch was no
without design, it is elaborstely and conspicuous.

Some say that the Secretary is in all things sub
lie and astute politician, doing every thing with
purpose, If they are right, there must have Deen

watching from afar and more than half ready to take
up arms against them-must we believe, that, al
such time we had Secretary Of State to conduct
our international relations, 80 unstable IN mind 80
whimsical and caprcious, so intellectually Vsgrant,
that he wrote st random, and without principle,
purpose, motive, or meaning

And in the dispatch Of Sept. &C. 1862 just mentioned
