A just Rebuke.

The valiant offer of Major Gen. Sandford, of the 1st Division of New York Militia, for the purpose of whipping the South, is respectfully declined by many of the best and bravest of its officers and men. (See another column.) The Major General will find that he cannot transfer the gallant soldiers of N. York like cattle. There is not, by any manner of means, to be a united North in this bloody business of coercion. A large working men's meeting, the bone and muscle of the Empire City, have indignantly denounced the idea; and in Philadelphia, at an enthusiastic assembly of whole souled patriots, they declared that in the event of Disunion they would go with the South. A coercionist present, who attempted to disturb the proceedings, was himself "coerced " out of the window.
