NEW YORK, JAN. 15.
The New York Tribune has the following on the
resignation of Mr. Cameron, Secretary of Mar :
Its hossbehall had fallen into the Senate Chamber it
would not have produced a greater 'emotion than did the
Prwidest's aornieattoo of Mr. &mice to the °Mee of Secre-
tary of War, followed by the Domination of Simon Cameron
as insister to Ramie. It was felt to be the solemn oar
demsetioa by the administration sod the mgdar army of
the policy of isommipatiag sod arming the "Laves of
so smugly recornorwoded in the report of the fieciettay
War. Rinstore Saw in it an open iMUS with the anti-slavery
feeling of the North and West, and 'break from the
prospect of evils so suddenly opened to the eyes
of awe already weary with watching this war. No
vote ens lA= es thole Isezpeeted meneations, although
Resator fiemsee proototly moved their 0005nuation.
They were lard over with the silent soquissorece that

ties like vase of Ws great seniors as Secretary of War.
If the sestotrese of this etlestoo Amid be iatiwproled by
the yobbo se a eeetweemies of his antielavery views, there
can be leo doubt Mr. Cameron would unhesitatingly &-
slim it.
The Nell, York Nevoid of to-day says :

-- • .
The retirement of General Cameron ()antismog to be the
exciting topic in Washington and throughout the country.
No change in the friendly relations existing between the
Preadult end Mr. Camerae ham arisen from the withdrawal
of the latter from the cibinet, nor hare the cordial feelings
between him end the other members of the administration
been le the hest interfered with. General Cameron has
cheerfully einepted the mission to St. Petersburg et the re-
quest el the Presides* end the name of Mr. Stanton as his
enceenew in the War derwtment is said to have been sug-
gested by Mr. Cameron himself.
In the Senate on the 13th, as usual, several peti-
tions for the emancipation of slaves were pre-
sented.
In the Senate, on the 14th, Mr. Grimes called
up the bill providing for the release of fugitive
slaves fress the gaol of the district of Ccdnnibia.
This led to a long debate on the negro question,
and finally the bill parsed by a vote of thirty-one
against four.
The House bill for the relief of the owners of the
British ship Perthshire was passed, and the Senate '
adjourned.
The House of Representatives resumed the con-
sideration of the bill to abolish the franking privi-
lege, and, after a lengthy discussion, passed it by
a vote of 107 against 42.
In the eurowittee of the whole house, the bill
making en appropriation of 36,1500 dollars for the
exhibition of American products at the Loudon
International Exhibition, was taken up, and a
lively debate followed in reference to the relations
with Great Britain.

Mr. LOVEJOY (Republican), of Illinois, said—l am very
decidedly opposed to this bill. 1 think it is enough for us
in all cotonence to have been humbugged, and dishonoured.
and (Ilene:ea by the British nation, without uow apps"
printing :1.1,000 dole for the purpose of au American mad-
Intim there.
Mr. Metter; (Republimn), of Illinois *aired if it had
been through the action of the British government or of
their own that they had been thus dishonoured and
disgraced?
LOVIJOY —I understand how it was done. That dis-
grace was all that the nation could bear. We matched up to
it sweating great drops of blood. We tame to it as Christ
went to the aias , saying, " it be possible let this
cup pin (ergo us;" and yet we are required to say that we
11.1 it cheerfully. that we did it gladly, and that we now
eppropriate thankfully 3.5,000 dole to dt out commissioners
to appear at the Court of St. James's. Inesniech as we
have submitted to that disgrace, as we have submitted to
be dishonoured by Great Britain, I think the least we can
do is to acknowledge it, and to stay at home till the time
manes when we can whip that nation. Then I will be
willing to go and appear at their World's Exhi-
bition. Every time that I think of that surrender the
words come instinctively to me which Amiss used, when
requested by Queeu Indo to rehearse the guttering* which
tia befallen the Trojans dining tho siege and capture of
Troy : "oh Queen, you require me to renew the intolerable
gria of that siege by re-acting it." Every time that the
Trent affair comes op—every time that an allusion is made
is it—every time that I have to think of it, that expression
of the tortured and agonised Trojan exile C0.,W0 to
my lips. I am made to renew the horrors which I
suffered when the news of the surrender of Mason
and Slidell reached us. I acknowledge I literally wept
tears of vexation. I Arta it, an I I hate the
British government. I here now publicly avow and record
that hate, and declare that it shell be unestinguishable.
mean to cherish it while I live, and to bequeath it to my
children when I die, and if I am alive when war with Ear
land comes, and if I can carry a musket in that war I will
mem it. I Lave three sons, and I mean to charge them,
stud do now charge them, that if they shall have at that
' time reached the years of manhood and strength, they shall
I ester into that war. I believe there was no need for that
surrender, and I believe that the nation would rather
have gone to war with Great Britain than
have suffered the disgrace of bring insulted
sad Ming thus unavenged. I have not reached the 'Will-
unties of Christianity, that exaltation of Christianity
which allows me to be insulted, abused, mod dishonounth
las bear all that as a Christian, but to say that 1 du it
cheerfully is more than las linug myself to. I treat in
God that the time Is not far distant when we shall have
summand this rebellion, and be prepared to avenge and
wipe out this insult that we have received. We will thee
silir up helmet, we will appeal to the chartists of England ;
me 'Mtge to the old French heshitnit. of Canada ; we will
Isla beads with France and Russia to take away the
I IMAM pemses.ions of that proud empire, and will take
suer *a NOWI2 from that governmeet before we cease. I
is Gad that that time will come. I trust the appro.
platter will be voted &mu. One of our commissioners, I
understeed, is the individual who writes these 'dement
lotion asking us to submit to insult cheerfully, to smile at
this bitter cup, drugged with the bitterest ingredients that
were ever pressed to human lips—and mot to make a face
about it ! I doe't believe there was thy necessity for this
semester. lam strongly inclined to believe that we should
have bees all the stronger for this difficulty with Great Bri-
tain, for it would make ns feel the neceseity of making
short work with the rebels."
The bill was finally laid on the table by a large
majority, and the hove suljourlied.
