Mr. EVERETT said that it bad beea
hie iotesuow. whea the bill miking ap
propriatiooa for the Florida war should
come up for discussion, to effer come re
marks oa the general subject of that war,
and the manner ia which it ha J bora con
ducted. At preseal he should reg ret ex
tremely that ear remark should be in
dulged ia, which went injuriously to al
ien the reppiaJKo of the lata Secretary
of War. Mr. E. had grounds to know
' ia what Manner that officer had acted in
the discharge of bia public duty, and be
was satisfied thai, whatever might have
been tha disasters of ibis war, no part of
the responsibility rested justly on htta.
This bad been his conviction then; it was
hie conviction now. Whera tha blame
did rest, ha should not say. It was true
Genera! Clinch bad made ase of strong
expressions ia hie testimony before the
Coart Martial; but he was persuaded they
arose from a misapprehension of the real
facts f the ease. That bare man bad
not been tally aware of the position ia
which General Case stood.
Mr. fi LASCOCK duly appreciated the
principles which actuated the gentleman
from Virginia ia bringing forward this re
solution, but he differed from him as to
the mode in which the proposed com
mittee should be appointed. That the
war against the Florida Indians had been
a most anfortuaate one, the w hole coun
try knew; and as there existed a great
diversity of opinion as to the causes of
the unhappy future which had occurred,
ft was bat fair and right that a committee
of investigation should be instituted, that
the country might be placed in possession
of all the difficulties which had existed,
nd all the disasters w hich had taken
pljce, together with the true causes
which led to then. Rut he thought it
would he best to suffer the committee to
be appointed by the Chair, as had Veen
tsual on other occasions.
Mr. C US H UNO tendered his acknow
ledgments to his friend from Virginia, for
bringing forward this resolution. If there
was any thing, io the whole course of the
Administration, which demanded in et li
gation any thing to which the people
looked, as to rotten point, a blot, a
shame 00 the national reputation, it was
the conduct of that Florida war. lie
trusted the gentleman would press this
roe tsure 10 sn issue, and would not ceise
until the whole management of that con
tent should be fully enfolded. Year after
year, army after army had been marched
inn the niirasea of that peninsula; and
general after general had been dismissed,
be would not aay in disgrace, but to the
tender mercies of a court-manul; the
blood of our people had been wasted, had
b en squandered, in those swamps and
sands: and all for what? To force few
Indians from a desert tract of country ut
terly useless to any but themselves, and
in violation of all "tint was dear to them,
and to the perpetual disgrace ol our arms,
and of the national character. M ire
we bad enlisted the Indians themselves to
destroy each other; we had done that
which, io the era of our national revolu
tion, had been branded by the indignant
, voice of Chatham as the disgrace of the
British arms. As if the poor wretches
did nut perish ftst enough by the usual
progress of out oppressive encroachments,
we had enlisted ihe.n as merciless allies
ia the destruction and extermination of
other tribes. On whose head the blame
eras to fall he would not say; it might be,
as had been hinted by the gentleman from
Virginia, on that of the late Secretary
vis
fliere Mr. WISE interposed, and ask
ed to explain, lie had been mistaken
by both gentlemen; he had east hoimpu
taiion on any individual; what he had said
was, that the blame lay at the door of the
'War Department li was there that the
" magna partfuV applied, lie wished,
while up, to say to the gentleman from
Vermont (Mr. Everett) that he appre
hended he was privy, to causes of the
disasters 111 Florida which had not been
stated to, this House, though much of
what he knew had been obtained from
that gentleman himself. The late Secre-
' tary of War "would not be found to, have
been the author of the mischiefs which
had occurred; but he believed it . would
appear that thai officer had permitted
himself to be overruled; that he had suf
fered himself to be used as an instrument
in the hand of others, against his on
better judgment; that he had, in a word,
ceased 10 act as an independent officer of
tins Government ought 10 act; he had not
etuod up manfully to rrsist a course his
judgment and conscience condemned.

bowever, he did not profess certainly to
koow.j
Mr. CIJSIHXO resgmed. The een
tlein m bad brought- biui to the point at
winch be had been shout to arrive, lie
did not beiier the blame would fall ex
cUieIy, at ail events, on the bead of
Gen. Cass, lie had read the lestuo oi.y
of Gen. Clinch, a brave and gallant offi

and he would sk the gentleman from
Virginia and the House whether, for the

Jackson? The vara ceded to be spokee
eat. Oa a comparison, of the statements
of bads Case aid Clinch, be was coo
strained to say that Tbkkc rested the re
spoasibility. That was the point to be
proved; and it behooved this House, as
the popular branch ef tha Government,
to probe that matter to the very bottom,
that history might tell the story ia the co
lore of truth.
Mr. GARLAND, of Louisiana, hoped
the reseluUow would be adopted; and that
the investigation would be so conducted
as la bring out all the facts to open day:
ia so doing, they would do no mora thaa
was required of them by their country.
He had not formed aa opinion on whom
the responsibility would b found to rest
He bad bow, however, risea chiefly for
the purpose of stating one or twa facts
which he had heard personalty while
travelling ia Florida; and he, stated them
to show the propriety of ea investigation.
He bad had it explicitly stated to him
that in one rase forty torde ef wood had
cost the Vailed S!ale$ seven mors in 0
poLtaas. Another fact had been openly
stated as a matter well known: that for a
single trip of a certain steamboat up the
river Appalacltieola, her owner bad re
ceived a sum sufficient to pay the whole
cost of the boat. The individual who
bad made this statement to bint was now
ia this city, or had been a day or two
go. From what he had heard, he w as
satisfied that the publie money had, in
many eases, been worse than thrown
a war. It was certainly due to the coun
try that there should be an investigation
into the matter.
Mr. BOND said, that he also had
heard some facts which went to show the
same thing. He was informed that in a
certain instance 20,000 had been drawn
by a private individual professing to be a
captain of volunteers who had presented
all the papers necessary to make out that
fact in due form, when in fact he had bat
four or fivt men. Mr. B..ml was im

putation on the Chiirman of the Com-
miitee, but the course of things would
certainly admit an inference that this
Floida war was kept 111 reserve to be
brought forward at time of ueed to operate
on other measures.
Mr. CAMBRELENG repelled with
some warmth what he considered as an
imputation On him. Had the returns

WJMJar, September -
It Smalt Mr. Wright, from the
committee on finance, reported a bill for
the relief of the sufferers by the great eon
Aagntioa of 1S33 ia the city of N. York,
which received its first reading, and was
ordered to a second reading to-morrow.
This bill provides ft allowing a re

Mr. CALHOUN rose, and moved the

which having been stated to the Senate,
it was at the instance of Mr. Wright,
with the conseot of Mr. Calhoun, modi

He said further, thjlthr gendeoian(Mr.
Cushing) had indulged, at great length,
and with much feeling, in sympathy with
the Indians of the Southern frontier, and
had contended that the plighted faith of
the Government had been broken with
that unhappy race. He demanded how,
and ia what manner, this had been done,
and asserted the contrary position, that it
was the Indian who had acted the part of
traitor to pledged faith. The gentleman
Irom Vermont (Mr. Everett) had also made
similar charges, and in an especial man
ner had alluded to the all end ehue of the
wives and children of allied Indians by
our army.
Mr. EVERETT aaid he had made po
such allusion. He had only ri.eu to in
dicate an individual officer of ihe Govern
ment against imputations that bad beet
thrown out in relation to the part he had
taken in the direction of ihee campaigns.

Mr. CUSHING, of Massachusetts,

ihe pending resolution. But, in addition
to the discharge of that intention, he
w ould ask the leave of the House to make
a short reply to some cf iho ohveitatioiia
of the gentleman from Georgia, (Mr.
Holsey.) He had no complaint io make
of the manner or the matter of that ceo
