told that some few tricky men were bought. lfa
true man was not elected, it was either because
of derilection of duty on the part os national
men, or because they were in minority in the
Legislature He did not speak of these things
with pleasure, nor mean to compromise the future
for the tranquility of the present, or help to con-
solidate any party which amalgamates strength
without establishing principle. The Irresistible
tendency af the event was to sectional organza-
tions. He did not agree with many friends as to
the mmateriality Of the doctrine of Squatter Sor-
ereignty. He regarded it as most dangerous,
mischieyeus, and demoralizirg doctrine. 1t rest
ed on the fact that the sovereign States of the un-
ion, exercising the power Of government as agents,
are to be put down by squatters When men say
that slavery depends on policy, they assert that
those who 60 to the Territories may confscate
property recognized by other parts of the Union,
and this only payes the way for the other doctrine,
that property over and above the Constitution can
be stricken down. Slavery agitation, so far from
being crushed out by the late election, has been
increased Slavery existed prior to law. 1t was
as old as the institution of marriage, or the ind-
yiduality of property. 1t did not rise from COM
pacts, or violence, but grew up like any other
parliamentary institution.

in contact with superior civilization, he is saw
age still. He repeated that the tendency OF al
fairs was to the formation of geographical par
ties, which would lead to dissolution of the I'm
ion, and in this connection showed the power and
resources of the South, conteudng that she is
able to save her soil from invasion and conquest
and her flag from dishonor. The South must,
and will expand She will carry her institutions
into the surrounding States, where the govern
menss are falling and the people are lapsing into
mongrelism. The State Rights men at the South,
numbering nine -tenths Of the citizens, will rally
round the standard Of progress. Whatever else
perish, those institutions will be saved.
Mr.. Bliss said that Mr.. Keitt had succeeded in
showing that from the earliest period, the world
had been subject to rapiuc and bloodshed, and ac-
counted for the fact. He had succeeded in show
ing that these brilliant little republics to which
he alluded soon fell and faded from existence, be,
cause their institutions were founded on force and
injustice, rather than on law; and, also, as the
world had progressed in civilization, all persons
except his beloved Arabs, are turning their atten-
ton to the amelioration oflabor.

indian outrages In Florida.

The St. Augustine Ancient City gives the follow
ing particulars Of the outrnges committed recently
by the Indians in Florida, and which We have
heretofore briefly noticed:
Colonel Douglas Dummitt, inspector Of the GUS
toms at Smyrna, arrived here on Monday last,
and brings the intelligence of the murder Of Mr..
Shive, his wife and two children by the Indians.
Mr.. Shiye resided on Mosquito South Lagoon, a.
bout four miles south of the settlement at S"'yna,
and had but lately moved there from Philadelphia,
for the purpose of cultivating IN orange grove
Two young men, sons of Mr.. Sheldon, Of Srnyrna,
having been up the Lagoon, as far Turtle Mound,
on q ducking excursion, on account of the high
wind, on Tuesday, the 23d, put into the shore at
Mr.. Shive's place for the purpose Of remaining
during the night. On nearing the landing they
discovered the body of Mrs. Shive and one of the
children they Immediately put off from the land
ing and crossed the Lagoon to the residence OF
Colonel Dummitt, informing him of their discovery.
The next day Colonel Dummitt, with the two Mr..
LIQUIDS, who were his neighbors, and several Others
visited the premises and buried the bodies found
From all that can be known, it. is supposed the
Indians, on the Goth, (the same day twelve months
before they attacked Lieut.. Hartsuff,} approached
the house from the west, and killed Mr.. Shive by
the rife balls which struck him in the face, while
at work some two hundred yards from the house;
il is supposed that Mrs. Shiye and the child that
was found with her, taking the alarm, ran to the
river to escape by the boat but were both shot be-
fore reaching it, the boat being in shoal water
some distance from the beach,. 1t is believed,
when the Indians killed Mr.. Shiye, they immedi-
ately repaired to the dwelling, and then taking
tie gun of Mr.. Shive found there loaded with
buck shot discharged it at the child in the water,
its body indicated it was killed BY such shooting;
Mrs Shive was killed by two rifle balls in the neck
and head One of the children Of Mr.. Shire was
cripple, and without doubt was left in the excite
ment of So sudden IN attack and alarm in the
house. The child has not been found, ana there
can be but little doubt these inhumau savag"S
burnt it with the building; everything ON the pre-
mises that was not carried of was destroyed by
fire. When Shall we be rid of these devils incar-
nate Here are four lives lost and valuable prop
erty destroyed. and these rascals travelled more
than one hundred miles out of their claimed terri
tory to perform this act of butcherng in cold blood
innocent children and defenceless women.
