Gently broke out are, however, now IN
derstood TO be quieted. But these oc
cuTences, By threatening the stability o
the Government, or by causing incessan
and violent changes in them, or in th'
persons who administer them, tend great
ly to reiard provisions for Just indemni
" for leSses and injuries suffered by indi
viduai subjects or citizsns OF o the
States. The Government Of the UniteC
States will feel il to be its duty, hOweV
er, to consent 10 no delay, not unaToida
BILE, in making satisfaction for wrongs anc
injuries sustained by its own citizans.-
Many years having,in some cases, elapsed
desicive and eifectual course of pro
ceeding will be demanded Of the respect
i've governments against whom claims
have been preferred.
The vexatious, harrassng and expen-
sive war which so long prevailed with the
Indian tribes inhabiting the peninsula Ol
Florida, has happily been terminated
whereby our army has been relieved from
a service nf the most disagreeable char.
acter and the Treasury from large ex-
penditure. Some casual outbreaks may
occur, such as are incident 10 the close
proximity Of border settlers and the Indi
ans; but these as in all other cases. may
be left to the care Of the local authorities,
aided, when occasions may require, by
the forces of the United States. A snf.
ficlent number Of troops will be maintain.
ed in Florida, so long as the remotest ap.
prehensions Of danger shall exit, vet their
duties shall be limited rather TO the gar.
risoning of The necessary posts, than TO
the maintainaRc Of active hostliies -
It.is to be hoped that a territory so long
retarded in its growth, will now speedily
recover from TIE evils incident TO q pro
tracted war, exhibiting, in the increased
amount Of its rich productions, true evil
dences of returning wealth and prosperi-
~. By the practice Of Iigid justice TO-
wards the numerous Indian tribes resi-
ding within our territorial limits, and the
exercise of perennial vigilancegoVer their
interests, protecting them against fraud
and intrusion, and at the same time using
every proper expedient to introduce
among Them the arts Of civilized life, we
NAV fondly hope not only to wean them
from their love for war, but TO inspire
them with love for peace and all it's avo'
cations.
With several Of tho tribes great pro
gross in civilizing Them has already been
made. The schoOlmaster and the Mis-
sionary are found side by side, and the
! remnants Of what we're once numerous
and powerful nations may yet be pre-
served as the builders up Of a new
name for themselves and their poster.
