THE rL.oT AGAINST THE CAPITAL.
A prominent member Of the Cabinet
said to-day that unless Congress provi-
ded for the acceptance Of volunteers to
aid the Government, he believed the
| Capitol would be attacked anl probably
| take,, before the 4th Of March. This Is
reliable.

Congress to pass no laws increasing his
power 10 emf rec the laws during the
mnlrn"v ct the negotiations originated
by Virginia. is likely to still fnrtl,ercm
b.llen the scccssinnists. The weak Oh
man IS frightened at the power he III

few days ago, Mr.. Jacob r. Thompson late Sec
retary Of the Interior, made an address TO his
friends and neighbors in Mississippi, maintaining
the action Of MIR. Buchanan's cabinet in regard to
secession. He said that there was no serious
trouble In the cabinet until it was known that
MIR. Lincoln was elected; then arose discussion
Upon the rights and powers Of State to secede
the cabinet split at once; but the right Of the
general government to coerce a rebel, all agreed
in the negative. Thompson held strongly to the
right to secede but kept his place in the hope as
he says, Of preserving peace. He agreed with the
President that it was his duty to enforce the laws
and hold public property; but held that the army
and navy could only be used posse TO aid the
civil authorities, and as all the civil executive
officers in South Carolina had resigned, there
could be no attempt to uphold the laws. He
also remarks:
Gas was writing my resignation, sent dis

were thus put on their guard, and when the Star
OF the West arrived, she received a warm well

SENATOR ChMERoN.-The Washington public
were, yesterday, shocked and incensed beyond
expression, by a virulent and filthy personal at.
tack upon Senator Cameron, appearing in a Wash.
ington paper, which, not long since, was red
with praise Of that gentleman. II was doubtless
designed to aid the plans of the Republican party
personal enemies Of that dsting uished gentleman
who are striving, orally, by such means to preiu-
dice him In the eyes Of the President elect As a
matter Of course, its only effect will be to warn
Mr. l.. against listening to the counsels Of such
Personsj which cannot possibly be done withou,
encountering the certainty Of losing the friendship
OF all but the very viles in society, of all politi-
cal 7 arties.
MIR. Cameron has been amongst US for many
years In his present position, and has won the re.
spect, confidence and regard Of all here whose
good opinion is worth having. This city never
had warmer or more effective friend than Mr..
Cameron In the Senate Of the United States, and
we rejoice to see that the memory Of his MANY of.
hcial acts OF kindness to the District has
most intense feeling among all respectable per-
sons here, against the wanton and malicious per-
sonal assault upon him referred to above
