Col. of Cavalry.


In Washington on Tuesday night, the St.
Andrews Society gave supper to the Seventy
Ninth New York (Scotch) Regiment. Gen. Cam
eron was present and made speech from which
we take the following paragraphs:
The deluded people down South have strange
ly reckOned without their host when they deter
mined to tear down and dishonor the American
flag. They have prospered, they have grown
fat and powerful under that flag, but at last
they have become foolish They believed that
the North and the West would be divided OH
the question of supporting the nationality of the
United States. How sadly mistaken they have
been, all reasonable men must now see. Gen
tlemen, we have now in the field $50 600 men.
1t has been justly said that nowhere in the his
tory OF the world is recorded so sublime an up
rising of free people Never was such an ar
my raised in 80 short time. Applause
There has been much talk of the hosts gath
cred in Christendom to rescue from the infidel
the sepulchre ofthe Son of the Living God but
they were nothing to those increasing armies
which threaten just punishment upon the au-
thors of an uprovoked and unholy rebellion
lGreat applause. In less thsn three months a
quarter Of million of armed men have been put
into the field, in response to the call of the
President, to preserve the integrity Of our free
institutions, and before six months have rolled
around, have no doubt half a million enlisted
in the same moven ent will be at the command
OF the Government [Great applause
Thus, those who have been deceived by their
ambitions politicians will either wisely repent
their follies or will have to be swept before the
indignant and overwhelming army that will soon
be put upon them [Appau,e.l We have pa
tiently borne the insolence aud the tyrany
of the Southern mOnarchaists for more than a
generation. The Americans will bear it no lon
ger Applause. Observe that when a Scotch
man, or an freshman, or a German comes to The
U. s., he merges his own nationality into the
country that adopts him as a son; and so. when
this revolt is suppressed, and this war is ended
our beniticent Government will no longer be
perpexcd by doubtful questions There will
then be no more talk of Virginlaus, MARYLAND
ers, Pennsylyanians or MIssippians. No, gen.
temen, thank God, we shall then be all Amer.
leans. lGreat applause.
Then there will be no teaty but that to the
Union and the Constitution of the United
States no miserable casuistrv about the doc-
trlne OF State rights, and no attempt to ipcor
porate the heresy of secession in our svstem 7
will say nothing of the Administration bavoud
TINS that as was said momeut ago, il has at
It's head Presidedt as honset and as upright q
man rs ever lived ; and believe this war will
not end with his consent until there will be no
cause left tor war. Applause
Talk about the weakness of this Goyernme nj
aiter all these manifestations ofspirt of our peo-
pie! Why, it is the strongest Government TO.
DAY In the world. 1t is the Government of the
people. Every man is here a sovereign. and
eVery man Is acting in defense of his own rights,
whi!e ooeaent to that great bond which unites
us IN common brotherhood, and makes every

pie rms army which has been gathered
represents such people and when CONGRESS
meets am confident they will gladly Ta,ify
what has been done by the President and the
GaDlhet, under the extraordinary emergencies
in which they have found themselves.
