A res* la on proposing the nppofn rncnt a select commirt o by ballot,to inquire into 3 enuees of the delays, failures, and expenures of the Florida war being under con? leration? , j Mr. Campbell, of South Carolina, reirked:?That ho would not have re^uesI tho attention of tne House upon the ascnt occasion, had not nilusibn been nride rh:a rtflvi n tn ?ff*nes that had truusnired n conim tiee room during tho last session | Congress, and the name of a gentleman Jntioned in connexion with those .scenes whom ho born n most intimate relation, j did not rise to defend thogentleman, for required no defence; but to state that, ; hough General Campbsli. thought, and j rhape jus ly, that tho majority of tho com. i ttee whs under the influence of strong j rty feeling, hahad never, to his knowledge, i iputcd to that majority, or to an individual! mber of it, dishonoiablo motives?that j (Gen. C.) cher.shed no bitterness of ( :!ing towards the majority of that com- j ttee. Nay for a part of that majority, he ts convinced that General C. entertained ilings of personal*regard. Of his former sp ates in tbo miaot it/ of t?w &n|wt Corn I ttee, the honorable gentleman who was j chairman, and iho honorable gentleman >m Massachusetts, who so nobly susiainhira onfimt memorable occasion,Gor.eral cherished ihe most pleasant recollections, aving mode these remarks, Mr. C. hoped at allusion would not again be mado to is delicate subject unless relevant to iho at'.er in debate. In common with every gentleman who r d addressed the House, Mr. C. hoped j at the objeat of the resolution under co i- ' leration might be ebtained, but cared not ', lether that object was obtained thr ugh s .-lect committe, or thrown one of ihe mding committees of the House. Our Generals in Florida, it wus true, had ; ded to their laurels but few of the over- 1 oensthat flourished in that southern clime; tthis he thought,was attributable to the na re of the country and tho description of j emy. The country is without roads, thout provisions, and it was unjust to at- j bute our disasters oither to me ueoera s, p gallast officers and soldiers who served der them, or to the Into or present Adinistration of the General Government.

The world should know why a mil band of naked savages have so long siste-1 the power of our arms. The peoo have a right te be informed why our :aceful citizens have been so often called on to expose their lives, in this honoriess if, to thedoub'e dangers of the tomahawk d an unhealthy climate?why the machanhus been so often called from his workop, and the farmer from his plough, to i! ever barr< n sands and through pcstileBd marshes, in pursuit of the enemy; to fall, i die tho gallant Dade and his devoted folwors, in the dreadful ambuscade; to per. 1 inglorious victims to un unhealthy c!iare; or to return at lust disappointed, to, j ?rkaps, improrerish families. It is truo that the enemy is too weak and j >ntempf.iblc to oxeilcu national feeling in is war. It is even true that the weakness 'the Seminolos, taken in connexion ui:h e desparate struggle they are maintaining rninst unequal odds, is calculated to make i strong appeal to our sympathies in their 1 vor. Is it not, however, equally true, that r the last two years, our brethren in Fioriite not only boon kept in a state of conant alarm, but that the Southern couitrv j is oetn harrassed by frequent calls for; jlunteers and requisitions for drafted men? :r.
