WAsHrYGroS, Feb. 1--we give the Abolition de-
bate got up by Mr.. H. Clay, in the Senate few days
since In the course of it, readers will perceive
that the apostate Tallmadgc was treated by Mr. Brown
of r. Carolina, with the severity he so well merlted
All parties in the Senate now, think, very well
pleased to see him get his deserts
indian MuRDERs FLoRIDA.-We publish to-day
fresh instances of the wanton and cruel barbarltes
committed by the Indians of Florida and while we are
called upon daily to record their deeds OF blood the
peaceable and quiet citizens of Philadelphia
inc memorials against the employment of bloodhounds
to track these ruthless savages TO their lurking
places "Dreadfu (say these memoralists) as are the
evils attendant upon state of warfare, in its most
mtgated form, to aggravate them by the introduce
ton ofso barbarous and inhuman measure, view
as an outrage upon every feeling of humanity against
which we are bound to protest" Deceived by sound
ing words and the of history the memoraliss
characterize outrage upon humanity, the use OF
dogs guides in directing the pursuers to the
dens ofthese savages, who glory and delight in blood
Are all the sympathes of the humane and generous to
be lavshed the assassns who, with unsparing hand
destroy the aged parents, and wives and children OF
our fellow citizens in Florida? The inhabitants of Flo
rda not suffering the evils OF state OF warfare IN
any form it is understood by the memoralists and
by all civilized communities. They exposed to the
attacks Of prowling savages and midnight assassns,
who fire their dwellings and butcher ndlscrmlnately
their fathers mothers, wives and children We should
like to less sympathy excited by words and more by
facts which appeal strongly to the feelings. The Flo
rdians in truth entitled to the warmest sympates
ofthe humane and generous throughout the Union,
while the savages Of that Territory have, by their
ton barbarities, nertcd their just adherence lwould
in reality, be outrage upon cccry tecng Of hu'n6n'-
ty deprive the former of what they believe to be
effective of protection because their dogs, whose
unerrng sagacity will discover the hiding places of the
Indians are called bloodhounds and used for
mer times 10 overtake and hold at bay or drive into
trees, unarmed savages.
We understand that it intended hold these dogs
by leash when in the field and to them only as
guides to follow the tracks ofthe Indians. To let them
loose against the armed Seminole, would be only to
send them to be shot tomahawked. In be-
tween body of Indians-armed with knives, toma-
hawks, and rihes-and dogs, we should think all the
sympathies ofhe tender hearted should be on the side
ofthe dogs-Globe.
