DOMINICA.

How shall always find subject to preach about =
asked new asprant for clerical hOpOrs of an old prac
ttiOner in the pulpit " Why" replied the elder
divine, when you have no other topic, pitch into
"Popery." Our flibustero contemporaries follow
similar principle. When they haze digested the Sand
wich Islands, swallowed Mexico, established slavery in
Southern California and Nebraska, and trumphantly
prevented the Authorization of Cuba,then, instead
Of leaving the world in peace for while these infer
nal bores fall back their reserved rights and pitch
into Dominica. On such occasions great deal is made
of the duty of this Republic to defend repubcanism
against the assaults of monarchy and to to the
aid of the whites of Dominica against the anthro-
pophagous. Sououque and bis negroes. Here a spe-
cimen of this sort Of wisdom put forth by The Rich
mond Bnictin and gravely reproduced by The Union
"The Republic Of Dominica divides with the negro En-
pire Of Hsy the soil Of St Domingo. In axtapOston to
this black empire, the Dominieans who whites ~
have been subjected to continual annoyance and their in
at time the whites TO the authority of the
blacks and it only by their superior bravery and skill
that the whites have reganed their nationality and they
are now maintaining il at an immense hazard ~ Nor
have they 10 contend with Hayt alone, unaded by any
foreign power. European Governments have no little
interest in aiding the blacks of Hay in the subjuga-
ton Of the whites who have established independent
republican government in the West Indies and whenever
they shall desire 10 crush this little Republic they win
facts alone enough ~ enlist sympees in behalf
Of these brave people, but there other which
