Tie Washington Union makes the following re-
marks omshc policy to be pursued in tresting with
the Florida SemiRoles. The account. which we
published from the Republic, as we'll al. the in
formation received Ly-us. day or two previous to
the,neys from Washington, show that the. Indians
are notdisposed to leave their old lands Wild
Cat it will be remembered, passed through this
city some days ago on his way to Florida
It turns out that tie statement we made some
time since, that Wildcat would be sentlor from
the West to persuade the Seininoles TO remove was
correct. This movement will, in our humble
Judgment, cause delay, and produce no good result
Wild Cat is "A Seminole chief inferior in authority

West; but he was captured and sent thither. and

is entitled, since the death OF MicaR01y and Hola-
