FLoRIDA WAR.-All hopes of the ter- miaintion of this protracted war, have vnn- ished, we believe, for the p)rescnt. The Cherokee Deputatlion hits failed, the various taks have ended only in talk, and the last advices inform us of' a skirmish betwcen Gen. Jesup and a small party of Itndians, in which he killed five and captured nine. An oflicer of the Army was so badly wound- ed in tle knoo that amputation is rendered necessary. Since the capture of Powell, Philip and others, SanL Jones seems to be the active spirit, and lie has now retreated with his followers, into a large Cypress swanp, which is almost impenetrable. More Abolition morements in Congrss.- Senator Morris, of Ohio, has inoroduced a series of Resolutions in the Senate, of the most violent and offensive character. A- iong other things, it is declared, "That do- mestic slavery as it exists in the Southern and Western States is a moral and political evil, and that its existence, at the time of the adoption of the Constitution is not re- cognized by that instrument as an essential Clement in the exercise of its- powers over the several States-that it Is the indisputa- ble right of any Stato or n*iy citizen, as well as an indispenisable duty to enleavor by till legal he'ans to' abolish whatever is immoral and,4inftil" &c. oin Q. Adams raves-like a naniac since she adoption of Patton's Resolution. lie swears that lie -will not submit to it; that it is tunconsitutional, null and void, and that lie will take any coursti, in relation to his petitions and nemorials,.which he may dein approprinte. lie has given notice that lie will soon move a repeal of that in- famuns resolution. We give bi~ivteAoiin of the State of Vermont in the exactifiorm in which they were presented to Congress.

FLoRIDA WAR.-All hopes of the ter-
miaintion of this protracted war, have vnn-
ished, we believe, for the p)rescnt. TheCherokee Deputatlion hits failed, the varioustaks have ended only in talk, and the lastadvices inform us of' a skirmish betwcenGen. Jesup and a small party of Itndians,in which he killed five and captured nine.An oflicer of the Army was so badly wound-ed in tle knoo that amputation is renderednecessary. Since the capture of Powell,Philip and others, SanL Jones seems to bethe active spirit, and lie has now retreatedwith his followers, into a large Cypressswanp, which is almost impenetrable.
More Abolition morements in Congrss.-Senator Morris, of Ohio, has inoroduceda series of Resolutions in the Senate, of themost violent and offensive character. A-iong other things, it is declared, "That do-mestic slavery as it exists in the Southernand Western States is a moral and politicalevil, and that its existence, at the time ofthe adoption of the Constitution is not re-cognized by that instrument as an essentialClement in the exercise of its- powers over
the several States-that it Is the indisputa-ble right of any Stato or n*iy citizen, as
well as an indispenisable duty to enleavorby till legal he'ans to' abolish whatever isimmoral and,4inftil" &c.
oin Q. Adams raves-like a naniac sinceshe adoption of Patton's Resolution. lieswears that lie -will not submit to it; thatit is tunconsitutional, null and void, andthat lie will take any coursti, in relation tohis petitions and nemorials,.which he maydein approprinte. lie has given noticethat lie will soon move a repeal of that in-famuns resolution.
We give bi~ivteAoiinof the State of Vermont in the exactifiormin which they were presented to Congress.YWoQmlAta.aallusion to theu in oun last.-Did our linits permit us to copy the lengthyPreamble which- accompanied them, our
readers would have somne finc specimens ofreasoning, some totching jereminids uponthe anarchy and disorder which now pre-
vail at the South," and some eloquentbursts of feeling in favor of the liberty ofspeech, the freedom of the Press, &c. &c.which the poor ignorantPeople of the Slaveholding States might turnt to advantnge,.-What a pity that weo of this section will nottake those wiso Vermonters for our teach-ers! "The overthrow of our own consti-totioalys. legatl barriers, erected for thesecnrity of' otr 'eitizens, and the want'ofpower.in the proper authormities to re-estah-lish them'' are snelancholy facts, siveli cal-euilated to enkindle tllcrdkidljand fiamt&rnal sympathies
