For the American Republican,

MEssRs. EDIToKs: In your highly useful pa.
per few days since you published some trans
actions that occurred lately in the Sandwich
Islands. One very important fact is deserving
OF attention. 1t appears the government had
authorised the appointment oftwo officers with
handsome salaries. Among the applicants was
an American, who was rejected; he complain
ed OF injustice, upon v hlch the Secretary of
State made report, and stated distinctly, that
the offices of the country should be filled by its
natire born citizens. Here we see people Just
throwing off the slough of savageism, taking a
noble stand in favor of their own rights, and
showing us an example which it is to be hoped
will not be lost on the denizens of our great re-
public In regard to the much abused Native
American or Republican party, it only requires
the hearty cooperation of the hardy, industri-
Gus artizans of the tive Old Hunker parties, to
step out OF their political traces, that they have
so long and SO savIshly worked in; and Join the
party who sincerely wishes to see their industry
properly rewarded, instead Of beng driven from
Their homes by the low prices induced by the
underwriting Of Foreigners. In fact the Ma
tive patty are operating against their own in
terests, Tor every man Of any wealth or means
beyond his daily toll is directly benefited by
the reduction Of wages The great influx of
foreigners is rapidly fulfilling the wishes of Mr..
Buchanan, the present Secretary of State, who
asserted, that the wages Of our mechanics and
laborers was too high, they must be brought
down TO the standard of the working classes of
Europe, hope the fire of patriotism still buns
with sufficient force among our industrial clas-
SEES, 10 see their own true interests, and enable
them to throw off the shackles of party tactics
At all events would say, like the beloved ia
Their of our country, at a critical period Of our
history, 81 will not despair"

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM PoRT AU PRINCE.
The following intelligence was issued in an
extra by the New York Herald on Sunday af-
ternoon, and reached us yesterday through the
express of Messrs. Adams & Co.:
BY the arrival of the brig Forest, from Port
au Prince, we are in receipt of papers up to the
2Sth ult. The news contained in them is high
ly important, and gives the details Of a further
instruction that had taken place in favor of
Herard, the former President We learn YER
bally from Capt. Drew, that an outbreak took
place at Leogano about the 25th ult., which
was headed by some of the leading citizens of
Port au Prince, for the special purpose of de-
posing the present government, and re-instal-
ling Herrera.
Timely information of this movement was,
however, conveyed TO the government by one
of the rebels, who turned traitor to his party,
and troops were Immediately despatched to the
place, and some forty of the leaders cap
tured, twenty of whom were summarly shot,
and out of twelve who underwent a trial, nine
were condemned to a like fate, but were await
ing the orders of the President
All the citizens of Port au Prince had been
ordered on duty as soldiers and police. For two
weeks previous to Capt Drew 5 departure, no
business had been done, and for some days the
stores had been closed.
During the insurrection, an English steamer
arrived at Port au Prince, where she remained
till everything was quiet, when she proceeded
to Jamaica. 1t was supposed that Herard was
on board.
A strong force, both by sea and land had been
collected by the Haytens, for the purpose of
attacking the Dominicans.
The government on the 2sth ult issued
strong proclamation full of confidence to the
people, thanking them for their cooperation,
and declaring the revolution at an end.
new tariff had been passed, considerably
advancing the export duties on logwood and
coffee; the first at 500 per thousand, and the
latter Sl6 per ditto. American produce was
very plenty, and selling low.

WHOLESALE BALTIMORE SILK AND
FANCY STORE.
AN AMERICAN REPUBLICAN,.

.heSSrS. EditOrs,-I have been pleased of late,
in perusing your valuable paper, to perceive
that citizens of Baltimore have directed their
attention to the Importance Of Lines of Liver
pool and Southern Packets At the same time
my mind for years has been deeply impressed
with the necessity that exists for the establish
ment Of large Suk and Fancy Jobbing House.
| will ask every Dry Goods Jobbing Merchant
if he does not know from thirty to fifty of his
b st customers who complain every season that
they are compelled to go through to the East to
purchase their fancy goods, in consequence OF
there not being an assortment in this market
for them to select from. And also ask, if it is
not deplorablc fact, that eight out of ten of
those merchants who go on, ,vhen there, do not
purchase their entire stock, or nearly so, of
other goods, such as are regularly kept here.
| The question then arises, what can be done
to stop those of our own customers whom we
know TO go on, and also those who never stop
to examine our market; The plan propose is
ust as easy TO accomplish the great. object in
view, as to say your A b G.
Let there be meeting called of the Mer-
chants of Baltimore, and committee appoint
ed to wait upon the merchants generally, and
obtain their subscriptions of $500 to $500, more
or less; which will furnish capital Of 5000, 900.
This amount OF capital will be sufficient to
open as large Silk and Fancy establishment,
as any house in Philadelphia, N. York or Bos-
ton. Each merchant being stock holder, and,
of course, Individually interested in the pros
perty of the establishment to the amount of
his subscription, will take pleasure in introduce
ing his customers to the house. The cense-
quencc will be that from two to four thousand
country merchants, the very best men who
come to our market, will be Immediately intro
duced. And if the goods are sold at the same
prices, or less, (Which we can do, as expenses
will be less than they are in the Eastern cties,)
we recover the vast trade we have lost, and will
thereby be enabled to sell hundreds CT thou
sands of dollars of staple goods that yearly slip
through our hands.
Will not some of our most influential men
take hold of this matter torth,cih, that tho
House may be in operation by the Spring?

When gloomy lOOk'd the waves around,
And dark the Iaud before.

EXAMINATION OF AN ANCIENT SKELEroN.-
A friend just from Kentucky, informs the N.
York Patriot, that a gentleman in digging a
we'll on his plantation 900 feet above the Ken
lucky river, found at the distance of 10 feet be-
low the surface, beneath shelving rock, the
entire skeleton of a man, evidently not of the
Indian race. This we conceive another argr,-
ment in favor of the theory that this country
was PeoPled long before the time of Columbus,
with race distinct from the Indian, and by
whom probably the mounds, SO common all
through the South and West, were constructed.
