win suOlOln the speech vi Secretary cameron,
at Camp Cameron, on Thursday after.
noon; aud which, from the crowded state of
our colum =, we were necessarily precluded
from publishing in yesterday mornings issue:
"General Cameron commenced by paying a
graceful compliment to the regiment, Tor the
earnest prompiness with which they had re.
spouded to the Presidents call for volunteers,
to come forward to Washington, for the defence
of the capital, SO iraught with hallowed national
associations. They had come ready to sacri-
fee their lives, if necessary, for the cause of
the Union, and on their route had passed
through dangers which had tried their courage
and lorttude to the fullest extent. They had
come as defenders of their country, offering
themselves at moment when the Government
and the nation at large were burdeued with
gloom and apprehension; and the joyous wei
come accorded them was never more worthily
bestowed. In the name Of the Government, he
thanked not only them, but the liberal city
which had sent them, and the devoted families
which had spared them to undergo any perils
that might eisue in behalf Of the land OF their
love- They had remained until now the imm-
nent danger has passed away. But the struggle
was not over, and he knew that when they were
wanted again, they would come as swiftly and
manfully, and with the same selfsacrfcing de.
volion as before. The contest was one in which
free people we're determined TO exhibit before
the world their capacity for self government,
and to confirm their power to preserve and
perfect the free institutions which had given
its chief glory to this broad land, and made its
banner honored among all nations. But the
contest has commenced, and let us hope it will
be conducted like that earlier one, be it remem.
bered, under the favoring supernterdence of
that Power which had thus far safely borne the
Republic through all dangers, and would deliver
it again, and gloriously. The history of the
world afforded no such spectacle as was dis.
played thus early in this campaign-that Of
two hundred thousand citizen soldiers rallying
at the mere appeal Of al Executive, to support
the Government which had given peace to their
hearthstOnes and maintained inviolate the sane
tity of their family circles. As he had before
said, there might be necessity for those whom
he addressed to rejoin this patriot army. Yes,
he said, we may meet again. The same feel.
ing which prompted you when You first heard
that your count was in danger, will once
more, if need bel rally you in her defence. 1t
is not for me ttNdetermine when this struggle
will end But may say how it shall end.
Sooner or later can have but one conclusion,
and that will when the disturbing cause
which gave ri to it is utterly obliterated.
Again thank ~. You will return to meet
that cordial W ONE always rendered to the
brave-that no able recognition won by those
who have pas with manful fidelity through
the labors and ills allotted therein.
