SENATOR CAMERON A SPET7GFIE3.D.
The Harrisburg (Pa,) IeleWapb Of
the I'd instant contains some remarks
upon the recent visit of Senator Cam
eron to the President elect at SPRING
field Having made inquiry, says the
Islegraph, and being enabled from
information obtained, we know to be
perfectly reliable, to crafty public Gu
rios]ty on the subject, we feel at iber-
ty to state, that Gen. Cameron proceed
cd, on Friday last, to Springfield, in
consequence of special request, made
by President Lincoln, accompanied
with the intimation Of his intention
to tender, in person, a place il
his Cabinet to the General, and his
desire to meet and confer with linn
on tho condition Of public affairs.
We learn, further, that a very full CON
sultatlon, on the affairs which now en-
gross the attention of the country. was
held at Springfield, between President
Lincoln, General Cameron and Judge
Bates, who had been called there, and
who, it is already known, has been ten
dercd, and has accepted, a place in
Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. Thus called
upon to serve the public under the in
coming Administration, III another po-
sition than that which he SO ably and
satisfactorily fills, we have no doubt
of Gen. Camcron's acceptance Of the
honor conferred upon him, but have
not yet learned the place assigned him,
though We doubt not it is either the
Treasury, or War Department; prob
ably the former.
