We have frequently spoken of the
Florida War, and we are glad to find that
others speak of it. Let children early
learn to love right, and practise it, and
God may spare orr country. Let them
follow the footsteps Of those who trampIe
upon the poor and weak, and the thun-

The FLORIDA WAR.-There are now
tie" thousand troops employedin the re-
lentless crusade against remnant band
of miserable Seminole Indians! So far,
disaster and dishonor are the only fruits
of this most Ubiquitous war, II has cost
millions of dollars and thousands Of lives.
1t has, also, fixed stain upon our nation
al character which nothing can eface.
And what has been accomplished A
few Indians have voluntarily surrendered
Others, who came in under the protection
of a a0hite flag, were treacherously cap.
tured But the great object for. which
the war was waged is as far from being
accomplished as it was when it commenc
ed. The Indians have retreated into their
swamps and everglades, pursued by Gen
eral Jesup with an army ten thousand
strong!
1t is, we believe, more than a veal
since the Indians have committed any &C
of aggression or hostility. Though hunt
ed like wild beasts, they abstain from act;
of violence. The white men encroach &
plunder-the Indians retire and submit

They are required to leave their nativ
fields and their broad hunting grounds
to abandon their homes and emigrate t
lands unknown. These are the har
conditions upon which CHRISTIANS wi
make peace with SAvAeEs!
