Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Cambreleng, (in Reply to Mr. McDuffie and Mr. Storrs,) on the Proposition to Amend the Constitution of the United States, Respecting the Election of President and Vice President: Delivered in the House of Representatives, March 7, 1826 While Opposing the present -admimstration, it should have his support of every measure which, in his judg ment, would advance the public'interest; for the rest, the gentlemen on the other side should have an open. An honorable war. He would be candid with gentlemen; he could not judge every Administration by its mea~ sures In the language'of the great man whom he had just quoted, and who of all other men was, from experi ence, most able to instructus, he would say, he never knew men reformed byfpower. Neither would he make the experiment to discover, whether their measures would prove better than their morals. He could not, ifhe wished, extend his confidence to the gentlemen in power; it was something not to be controlled. He would say to them, with Lord Chatham, confidence is a plant ofslo'w growth, and moreover, differing from most plants of slow growth, it is of a delicate hature once blighted. It seldom revives; penitence may restore men to the bosom of private friendship, but in public af fairs it seldom happens. The pulsations ofa nation are slow - the career of ambition brief. Anadministration enjoying his support must bare the light of a Nation's confidence shining clearly and brightly around it - its foundation must rest upon-something more solid than a compromise of opinions, something less volcanic than an adjustment of ancient but unextinguished animosi ties.

Churchill Caldom Cambreleng was born in 1786 in Washington, Beaufort County, North Carolina, United States. Of his family and childhood little is known except that one brother became a New York attorney, another a naval officer.
He attended school in New Bern, North Carolina.
Cambreleng went to New York in 1802 and achieved success in commerce, at one time being associated with J. J. Astor, traveling extensively in America and abroad for the firm. At other times he was head of the firms of Cambreleng & Chrystie and Cambreleng & Pearson. He was one of the first directors for the Farmers Fire Insurance & Loan Company.
From 1821 to 1839 he was a member of Congress, being the House administration leader for Jackson and Van Buren. His most important committee assignments were the chairmanships of the committees on Ways and Means, on Commerce and on Foreign Affairs. He took a prominent part in the debates, his remarks being characterized by clarity and common sense.
Cambreleng approved Jackson's course toward the Bank of the United States and opposed the tariffs of 1824 and 1828. He favored a vigorous assertion of American claims to Oregon and a firm attitude toward France concerning the treaty of 1831, but opposed sending delegates to the Panama Congress. While traveling in Europe he was appointed minister to Russia by Van Buren and served from May 1840 to July 1841. His interest in public affairs persisted after his return. He represented Suffolk County in the constitutional convention of 1846. As chairman of the Committee on Currency and Banking he gave a masterly exposition of the nature and necessity of a sound currency. It is significant that he was frequently bracketed with such leaders as John A. Dix, Preston King, William Cullen Bryant, and Samuel J. Tilden. The "Hunkers" having secured control of the state Democratic convention in 1847, the "Barnburners" withdrew and held one of their own, presided over by Cambreleng. He took a prominent part in the convention at Utica in 1848 which nominated Van Buren for president and paved the way for the national Free-Soil convention at Buffalo. Cambreleng's published works include: his report as the chairman of the Committee on Commerce and Navigation (1830), which passed through several editions and was republished in London; An Examination of the New Tariff Proposed by the Honorable Henry Baldwin (1821); A Defence of Direct Taxes and of Protective Duties for the Encouragement of Manufactures (1822); Eulogy Pronounced in the City of New York, July 17, 1826 (on John Adams and Jefferson); Speech on the Proposition to Amend the Constitution . Respecting the Election of President and Vice-President (1826); Speech on the Bill Regulating the Deposit of Public Money (1835).
His successful mercantile career contributed much to his success in politics.
He died at his home at West Neck, Long Island, April 30, 1862.

(Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Cambreleng, (in Reply to Mr. M...)
Cambreleng was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the 17th, and was re-elected as a Crawford Democratic-Republican to the 18th, as a Jacksonian to the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th, and as a Democrat to the 25th United States Congress, holding office from December 3, 1821, to March 3, 1839. He was Chairman of the U. S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs (23rd Congress) and Chairman of the U. S. House Committee on Ways and Means (24th and 25th Congresses).
President Martin Van Buren appointed him United States Minister to Russia in 1840 and he served until 1841. He was a delegate from Suffolk County to the New York State Constitutional Convention of 1846.
He attended the 1848 Democratic National Convention in Baltimore as a Barnburner but withdrew with his faction, and participated in the nomination of Van Buren as the candidate of the Free Soil Party. Later he rejoined the Democrats and supported Franklin Pierce in 1852.
He wasc a member of the U. S. House of Representatives from New York's 2nd district and a member of the U. S. House of Representatives from New York's 3rd district.
He was described by William Lyon Mackenzie, the Canadian rebel as "very short made and very stout no great orator but well acquainted with business and politics. " Van Buren, on the other hand, called Cambreleng "as honest as the steelyard and as direct in the pursuit of his purpose as a shot from a culverin. " Neither the violent demagogue his enemies thought, nor the paragon his friends esteemed him, Cambreleng was an industrious, astute politician.
He married a Miss Glover but had no children.
