The NEWSPAPERS OF WASHINGTON. There is
an almost perfect millennium. We knew it was
to come, for we resolved on taking control OF
the matter ourselves Nor have we found the
least trouble in inducing it. The Intelligent
Ger would not forget its name, and show want
of appreciation of our influence; the Republic
is ever anxious to comprehend the human race
within the area of its beneyolence the Union
is firm and placid in its cohesive might; the
Southern Press is pressing onward in an unin-
terrupted career of disintegrating integrity and
cotton-feld patriotism; the National Era has
yielded to Paine in incendiarism, and forbears
to set the river or the nation on fire, and will
probably be very enduring Era; and should
the Saturday Neps not stately appear, even the
week itself could not depart without conflict
with its successor.
That our influence has brought about this
state of things is to us very gratifying refec-
ton; and when the past career of all these
journals, and our youth, and beauty, and limo
cence, and modesty, are all remembered, how
applicable appears the prophetic expression
The lion and the lamb shall lie down together,
and q httle child shall lead them"

We copy the following from the New York
Tribune of yesterday, and suppose II Is all So
rious
LATE AND INTERESTING FROM HAxrI.-Tho
schooner c, III. Hale, Captain Gilkey, arrived
yesterday from St Domingo. She reports that
quite commotion had been occasioned at Cape
Haytien, and in other parts of the Island, in
consequence Of the desertion of the Prince Boz
DO, who had gone into the interior to raise
forces for the purpose of supplanting the black
Emperor, Faustin l. In about six days he re-
turned with twenty men. With these he APP
preached the gates of the city, (Cape Haytien, J
where he gained an accession of forty others
This forco being too small TO warrant success in
case of attack, he then withdrew and led off
into the mountains. All this was done without
molestation--the people at that place having no
authority from Port-au-Prinoe to act in oppo-
sition to him.
AT about the time of sailing Captain Gilkey
was informed by the American Consul, Mr.
Wilson, that an army had then been ten days on
march toward Cape Hayden, probably to set
tie the disturbance. He also stated his inten-
ton of sailing with his family in about week
or ten days, for Philadelphia. So great was
the panic caused by these movements, that the
Custom house had been closed, and business
was in some measure suspended. 1t was the
opinion that in the event of his failure Prince
Bobo, unless he should make good his escape,
would be destroyed.

of the people relative to the election of all the
officers of the city and county government by

large and respectable portion of this community
upon the subject, when the following resolu-
tons were adopted:
Resolred, That the right of selecting proper
persons to execute the will of the people, ex-
pressed in the form of laws for their own gov
eminent, and framed by their own representa-
tives, should vest in and belong exclusively to
themselves.
Resolued, That, as dependence on the public
favor has the effect of stimulating such agents
to faithful discharge of the duties imposed
upon them by law, the right to elect them at
the ballot-box should not be denied.
Resolued That, in the opinion of this meet
ing, all officers of the Corporation should be
elected by the people
RESOLVED, That the president of this meeting
appoint committee of seven Zone from each OF
the wards) to urge upon the mayor and coun-
ellis of the city the passage of an order or reso-
luton, whereby the sense of the majority of the

the president and secretary be added to the
committee.
The meeting then passed vote of thanks to
their officers, and adjourned.
We approve heartily of the purposes OK

may be no halting-place between the present
move and the final contamination Of the objects
in view.
