THE ANION-THE' CONSIII'uIION-4tND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE JAW. HARRISBURG, PA friday Morning, February 'I, 1862. IMPORTANT OORRESPONDENOE. PHINIDINT LINCOLN AND HON. &PION CAMERON The following correspondence will be- recog nized by the American people as a portion of that, great material that will hereafter be used in making up the history of the struggle in which the American people are now engaged for the permanency of the Union and the sue cow of Comititutional liberty. The fact now first divulged to the public at large by this correspondence, although known to the inti • mate igtirtuti. friends of the distinguished gem tletnan whom it so closely concerns and 86 highly interests, was nevertheless confidentially withheld from the nation, in the certainty that it would at some future day hulaid before the people of the country In its present shape, and thus subserve the: end of that justice and hon T orable vindication which it now so completely achievat and .establishts. .The letter of the President.of the United States will be hailed by the friends of the Hon. Simon CamerOn the realization of their faith and confidence in the ex-Secretary of War. :It .1a an official an-. nouncement of a fact which has been perverted. and misconstrued as much for the injury and` destruction of the Union, as it was hoped it would malign and defame an object alike of their hatred and fear ; and when the people whosei confidence has been so much abused by the ai mulls on the character and reputation of Gen. Cktmeron,ltave read and pondered the letter of Presidenti.incoln, they will renew their confi dence and their esteem for the man thus as sailed; and with the Tatrousso, accept the tes timony of the President of the United States as the noblest' vindication which an honorable wan and upright public servant could desire or even demand. Although, as it will be seen, this correspond ence Is marked private, its publication was ren dered absolutely necessary, as well to maintain the truth of history as to serve the ends of jus tice. This must• explain its apPearance in the oolumniefAte Tar.Ettamon. The letter of the Presidents in his own hand' writing, reads as follows : [PRIVATIO EXECUTIVE MANSION, ,„ Washington, Tan. 11, 1862. Eisen Sat—Though I have said nothing hith erto in response to your wish, expressed long shwa, to resign your seat in the • Cabinet, I have not been> unmindful of it. I have been only unwilling to consent to a change at a time, and under circumstances which might give •oe-, onion to misconstruction, and unable, till now, to ,see ',how such• misconstruction could. be avoided... • But the desire of. Mr; Clay to return home and to offer hie services to his country in the field, enables me now to gratify your wish, and at the same time evince my personal regard for you r : and. my confidence in your ability, patriot and.fidelity to public trust. • .I therefore tender to your acceptance, if you still desire to resign your present position, the poet of Minister to Russia. . Should you accept it,.yott will bear with you the .assuranoe of my undiminished confidence, of my affectionate es teem, and of my, sure expectation that, near the. great Sovereign whose personal and •heredi lig'''. friendship for the United States , so much endears him ,to Americans, you will be able to render. services to your country, not leas impor tant than those you could render at home. Very sincerely, your friend ; • A. LINCOLN. - lion. SIMON ()AMMON, The reply of Gen. Cameron to the letter of the President, is couched in the same frank and manly spirit which characterized his personal and official intercourse with the Chief Magis trate, while he was a member of the Cabinet. President Lincoln had reminded Secretary Cam eron of a e , desire long expressed to leave th Cabinet, which desire is reiterated by the Secre- tatty of War, but not however without first re minding the . President of the herculian task width had been accomplished—of the kindly feeling which distinguished their personal and official intercourse ; and of the reluctance with which he had first accepted a position in. Ills administration. Such confeseions and aq knuwledgmente, emenating from such men,oan not fail in eliciting the profound respect of the country. Nor will the tender by the President of another important position to Gen. Cameron, while lie nricepte his resignation as Secretary of War, fail to increase the respect and confidence of the people for both Gen. Cameron and the President, as the evidence of the former's strength and character as a statesman, and the fact of the diecernment and discretion of the latter as an Executive officer. Altogether, this corres pondence must form a chapter of remarkable interest in the history of the national adminis tration, at once fraught with noblevindloatioit, frankly expressed confidence, and Manly, recip rocity both of personal and official res p ect and BACtB34. Orn: Cameron's reply to the President Is as follows : . • . WAR DIPARTRIOrr, 1 a.. Washington; January 11, 1862. f MY'Dass.

When you were elected President, a result to whiph I ,contributed Jay bast fixer tionir,l had: no thought of liaivjra the Senat e of 04,1704 States, or of amp 'lig *wry tion within your gift. But when you invited me to Springfield,lllinois,and presented me the choice of one of two named places in the list of tour constitutional advisers, I could not, for grave public reasons, and after great reflection, refuse a trust so trying and laborious. My life had been one ef constant labor and excitement. I looked to the Senate as the best field, after such a life, in which to serve my country and my State. It was only when I realized that 'I might be of service to the general cause in the darkly foreshalowed future, that I ventured to undertake the manifold and various respon sibilities of the War Department. I felt when I Few the traitors leaving their seaU in Con gress, and when the Star Of the - West was fired upon in Charleston harbor, that a bloody con flict was inevitable. I have - devoted myselkwithont interruption to my official duties, and have given to them all my energies. I have done my best. It was impossible, in the direction of operations so extensive; but that some mistakes should have happened, and some complications and complaints should have arisen. In view of such considerations I thank you for the' ex pressiontif your Confidence in my ability, pa triotism, and fidelity to public trust.

The fame and reputation of the lectu rer as a scholar and an, orator, as well as the interest of the people on so grave a subject as the one , proposed, to be. discussed i led the audienen to anticipate at .14st a digniftedini , partial, as well as argumentative discourse.— We hoped to bear the recital of historical facts, gathered by the lecturer dirlng his scholastic studies and _more mature investigation..

T.HE EXPULSION:OP TEE TRAITOR The United States Senate, yesterday, by a vote of tbirty-twd to fourteen, expelled Jesse D. Bright, ;from his seat as "ti Senator from the state of Indiana. The causes which led. to this expulsion were freelyand, fairly &Mimed hefore the Senate and the people,' , and the resu lt thus arrived at will undout.tedly'receive the appro bation and s cotictiritiram'of the loyal . citizens of all the loyal states. At a time,of great public peril, when Jefferson Davis had ; been made the chief of the oonspirators and the:head of the traitor confederacy, Bright wrote him words of iutinduo to him a friend who offered to supply the rebels with arms, and by other acts andrecognitloru3; proved, that he sympathized with, ma desired the success of the rebellion. "These facts. and .circUmlitalicos were fairly established by the record,, the con fessions of Bright himself, with the letter he had "written to' Jeffeison Dos. With this proof before it, the Senate could not have . ~ • done leei than 'expel Bright, and thui refer hie case to the Legislature of the state of Indiana, which accredited him as the representative of ;that state, and With which bodylt nOifi remains to fill a position thus made vacant;by the pri vate, public and convicted freeman of Jesse D. lßright• We regard"this action of.the., United States' Senate as the sturdiest blow that has yet been istinck at a class of secret sympathisers with 'treason, who haie been working great injury to he country ever since thellagOisecimion was nn failed. It was a decision at once demanded by the proof against Bright, tie eilgehelis of the Public service, and the necessity of preserving the dignity, confidence, and power of the 'Otmerican &nate.° No more righteous judg ment was ever decreed against guilty com plicity with an actual participation in crime. . The last sensation. report from Washington Is to the effect of letters having been received in that city from an eminent diplomat abroad, that France, England and Spain had entered into a eague to prevent the re-organisation of the 4txnericcu3. states.: The.‘initial step of this Movement consists in the renewal of Spain's desertion of authority in kexico, by which She league hopes to provoite a protest from the federal authority; On the 'Monroe principle of denying the right of conquest on this hernia phere to any of the powers of Ettrope. We Save no doubt that such an alliance for the purpose named would be very acceptable to . , _ She powers in question, but we doubt very much the existence of the league. Neither England or France can afford to complicate t h eir own. .affaini , in an imbroglio with Spain, llecause a uar on the Mexican quest ion would te• an likelytoinvolve Europe in a general figlit;lta: an American army ia Rome, or &legion of 008-. sacks in Constantinople. European princes and aristocrats, however, will plot and devise until they do.accomplish some plan by' which atf, ey can justify- an interference in, be dmestio ins of this government, so .that the' sooner establish the.fsderal authority in the rebel tes, the sooner 'and stronger we will be to Meet any alliances to crush our' power or anal- Nide our institutions. .. . 'A 150111111115 AGENT, writing iron England to the Richniond Acquirer ; describes many of the difficulties that he has encolmtered abroad. He tried to promote shipments of manufactures to the s-utherii ports, with a promise of one hun dOed per cent. profit, but the sturdy manufac tapers said ten per cent., and no risk , is a better business than drier hundred.per cent. and ex treme risk. Nothing was eixxnap4elied: Ha adds that he has some doubts whether the for eign powers will recognise the confederacy, and assigns the following reason Ist. Both En glind and France are strinagly, coneervative, and both possess important colonial possessions, 4iarl they do not like to encourage revolts; 2d. A prevalent impression that the north and south would soon come together again if separated ; 3d A fear that, in me of recognition, the nc4rth would undertake the conquest of the south ; 4th.

Aprroval of the Bill to Strike Sym— pathizers with Treason from the Pension Roll Adjourned The President has approved the bill authori zing the Secretary of the Interior to strke from the pension rolls the names of all such persons as have or may hereafter take up arms against the government of the United States, or who have in any manner encouraged the rebels or manifested a sympathy with their cause. It is known that some persons in the west after drawing their pensions have openly joined the enemy, while others who hive not taken this extreme step have openly sympathized with the rebels, and at the same time drawn their pen sions. The law just passed affords a partial remedy against disloyal pensioners receiving money from the government. Congreso--First Session. Wasartrorozr Feb. 6.

Mr. Quarts, (Va.) presented a petition, nu merously signed by citizens of Boston, Mass., asking Congress to leave the negro question alone and attend to the business of the coun try. Mr. HARMS, (N. Y.) presented petitions against the sale of liquor to the officers and soldiers of the army; also a petition for the re peal of the reciprocity treaty. Mr. Gs, (lowa,) introduced a bill to allow the corporation of Washington to issue small notes. -Referred. The bill to define the pay and emoluments of officers of the army was taken up. Hr. Sairrusarc, (Ohio,) said that this bill did not meet the difficulty. It did not remove any of ;the inequalities of the present system of coMpensation. A prorate system would operate injuriously on those receiving small salaries. The problem of this war was not physical but financial. A. year ago we were physically weak, but with no public debt, now we are physically'strong, but financially weak.
