THE CONFIRMATION or CAMERON.
| Mr.. Cameron was confirmed rs Minister to
Russia by vote Of % to ia. However Mr.
Cameron may chafe against the opposition to him
in the Senate he ought really to be gratiiied at
the debate excited over his nomination. 1t has
disposed of many obstinate calumnies. As the
leader Of the Pennsylvania Democracy he tri-
umphed over the Federalists in his State al the
cost of the reputation which the newspapers in
the interest OF his enemies inevitably gave him.
His honest and honorable transition from Dcmoc
racy to Republicanism cost him a portion OF the
residue of his political good name. His latest
and most objectionable offense has been commit
| ted against the constitutional right TO own ne
grocs. lie advised the emancipation and aiming
of these for military purposes, and the cutlery
against him, Of all those WHO are fighting this
war to lose and not 70 win, was sudden and
savage. Exceptional and personal reasons, re-
sutinc from his conscientious administration Of
the War Department, have added nominal Re-
publicans TO the lit Of Secession Democrats who
have demanded bis sacrifice in factions orations
which, at the utmost, could only delay his con-
frnaton. OF the New-Engand Senators who
stontly argued the Justice OF confirming Mr. Cam
cron's nomil alton. James Dixon of Connecticut

ton to remove the injunction OF secresy from
