time has arrived for US to consider wheth.
er it would not be for the interest of the
country to strengthen the Presidents
hands, and to authorize him in certain
emergencies to dissolve the Lower House
Of Congress and appeal to the people by
means Of renewed elections. We cannot
imagine in what manner the executive
could abuse such prerogative. for if he
should exercise it without necessity, the
people would have the power Of administer
ing rebuke by returning the same men,
bers or others representing similar
opinions. The only effect Of the adoption
of such measure would be to render the
President more Independent in his action,
and to give the people more certain and
direct influence on the conduct Of the gov
eminent.

The FLORIDA IND1ANs.-The st. Au-
gustine Ancient City, Of the 18th inst,
says:
BY resent news from Tampa, the head
Quarters Of Col. Monroe, the Military
officer commanding in Florida, we learn
that the Governor has been requested to
protect the frontier by calling into service
volunteers, and that efforts are in pro-
gress for the immediate removal Of the
Indians.
During the past and present winter the
troops along the line ofthe Carloosahatchee
and those posted at Fort Dallas, near
Cape Florida, and at Jupiter, have been
actively employed in exploring the country
by land and water, and the party under
the command of Lieut.. Hartsuff was upon
this duty when attacked by the Indians.
| Several companies belonging TO the
brigade raised by the act of the Legisla-
ture of 1852 and 1853, and to be com.
manded dy Brig. Gen. Johnson, under.
standing their duty, are now acting inde-
pendently, defending the frontier awaiting
further ordsrs from the capitol deter
mined to prevent such outrages as have
heretofore been committed under similar
circumstances by the Indians upon the
persons and property of the frontier in.
habitants. Nearly the whole country
north of the Carloosahatchee has been
surveyed, and the topography therefore
well known, and it is now believed that
with the important information that has
been gained by recent reconnaissance OF
that country occupied by the Indians, that
it will require but short period Of active
operations to rid the State Of this pest.
1t known that Except a few hunting
parties) the Indians have for the last two
years made their homes near or in the
"Big Cypress :" it is also believed that at
present they are nearly all south Of Car
loosahatchee, save, however, few spies
who made demonstration to the surveyors
recently operating on the Kissimmee
River and Istocpoga Creek, Of their pre-.
sence, by encircling them with fires.
We are glad to hear the inhabitants on
the frontier are frm-determined and
intend to hold their own reposing the ut.
most confidence in the proper authority
for executing the law, or taking such other
proper course as will at once rid the
State Of these troublesome, thievina.
thriftless and blood thirsty savages.
