Fore some time past Mr. Cambreleng has disappeared from the public eye, but a little while ago he was one of the conspicuous men of the nation. He was originally a successful merchant of New York, afterwards, represented it in Congress for many terms, where he took a leading part, and he was appointed Minister to Russia under the administration of Van Buren. He was a man of great practical sense and of inflexible honesty, and the city of New York has seldom sent to the national councils a person more worthy of her metropolitan position.
