that noticing the advertisement of certain firm,

1t is confidently stated, and universally be-

Indinns are secretly supplied by Army Contrac-

for carrying on the bloody contest in which they
engaged. That the Seminole war is kept

the history OF civilized world an instance of a
powerful government contending against few
miserable savage wanderers, with SO little sue

Administration pets and agents nave amassed,
during the contest, immense fortunes, from the
public treasury. Millions upon millions have
been squandered upon favortes, under the pre-
