WASHINGTON, December 80, lS45.
The Effect Of the Necs from Hayfi-M Movements OF
Calhoun and Pakenham-Ihe Position of the
Fomer-Iphat wM be Done?
Your number OF yesterday, which arrived here
this morning, containing the important news from
your correspondents in Hayti and ST. Domingo, fell
like bomb shell among all the politicians, from the
Capitol TO the White House, and throughout every
hotel, tavern, and oyster cellar in the city. 'Have
you seen the Herald this morning 2! said one. 'No;
''what is in it 2" said the person spoken to" Why
the ID" the first would reply" go get copy and
read for yourself" But alas for his comfort, there
were no Herald to be be found after nine O'Clock
Every place, where one could be found, secured
IN order to read the news from ST. Domingo, which
filled one entire page OF interesting and important
matter. In both Houses of Congress might be seen
groups OF members talking together upon the sub
lect, perfectly amazed, and wondering at Benefits
industry III getting such information even IN advance
OF the government. Nothing that has appeared on
the taps during the last ten years was calculated 70
cause more excitement throughout this country and
Europe than the information thrown before the public
IN those letters, respecting that island In your CO.
tumns Oregon and Texas are completely cast IN
the shade by them and II would not surprise me
much, were To see 10000 men on their way TO that
island before one menth They want such force
there at this time, order to the island from
negro domination, and restore II to the white race,
10 whom 1t properly belongs. have heard gen.
tive thousand able-bodied men, in addition 10 the
dominican forces would conquer, In forty eight
hours the whole OF that part occupied by the blacks.
There are no existing treaties between the United
States and Hayt, to prevent our citizens from going
there in any character they please and know, from
what have learned on the subject, that assistance
OF this sort would be ccepted by the Dominican GO
vernment, and ample provision made for those who
would emigrets there tor the purpose OF sustaining
the white government and people against the black
savages, with whom they are contendng for liberty
and independence.
There is something serious going on here at pre-
sent between Mr. Pakenham and Mr. Calhoun, in
relation to public affairs. Whether it is the Oregon
question or the 81. Domingo news In the Herald OF
yesterday, that has started her Majestys represen
tatlve, do not know; but know lhis-that MIR
Pakenham sent Mr. BldweD, his attache, in hot
haste alter Mr.. Calhoun this evening This close
communion between the British Minister and the
late Secretary OF State, looks ominous OF what is
forthcoming In the settlement of our difficulties with
England, and of the course which the six Senators
named in my letter OF yesterday intend TO take upon
The final passage OF Mr.. Aliens resolution to sus-
pend the joint occupancy OF that territory The
course that Mr. Calhoun has chaked out for
himself and tall on this question, will sound his
death knell, as favorte with the people, for
From henceforth, they will not discover any differ
ence between Hartford Conventionist and Null
liner. The term will be synonymous.
Senator flanagan and MIR. Calhoun had quite
sparring match to-day in the Senate. The latter Of
Tered series OF resolutions antagonistc to those
by some pertinent remarks. The wings, if wise,
can now check-mate both Calhoun and the war par
ty In the Senate, by voting tor giving the twelve
months notice-thereby bringing the whole cues
tionto an issue forthwith. This course, if adopted
by them, would be tantamount 10 any tariff they
might lay tor the next twenty years, and give the
manufacturing interest OF this country an impetus
which nothing else could give it but war with
England, by excluding the whole of her manutac-
lures from this country. But the wings are bad 20
litcians, and will do nothing, but like pig in
puddle, cut their own threats in trying to swim
Mr.. alhoun will go In for annexlng Cuba He
said as much as this to-day, in his remarks Whe-
Their Mr.. Levy was serious or not, In offering
solution to annex that island to the United States
there are those who consider the motion rather pre-
mature II not ill-timed. Among those the Brit
tlsh Minister, who 1t is rumorcd, remarked when
he heard OF it, that MIR. Levy was clever young
man, but very greata-.'" Hisf annexationphobia
tor the South, does not altogether square with the
opposition to ii at the North. The people there will
begin TO Think byand-by, that they will have to an
mex tor themselves, without consulting southern po-
lltlclans.
