would be likely to seduce the Cabinet of Vienus
out of its wonted ndecisiou, while the precarious
position of the British Ministry and the urgent
necessity Of covering this immense tallure In the
East by the show of something considerable
gained elsewhere, affords an ample reason iOc ex-
aggeratng small treaty INTO sgrsnd offensive

in this; but our readers know the reasons for
our opinion, and time will show whether this

TIE DOMINICAN TREATY.

The very remarkable Treaty of Amity and Com
merce which Mr.. and Mrs. Caznesu, on tie part
of the United States, have negotiated with the
Executive OF the Spanish or mulatto END of the
Island Of HaJti, is given in full in THE TRIBUNE
this morning in anticipation OF decisive action
thereon by the TWO Governments. We beg
leave to assure the curious tcat we know exactly
where this Treaty came from, aud that, though
neither the president nor the Senase have favored
us in the matter Of procuring IT, we can warrant
its authenticity.
For those who are accustomed to look beneath
words in search OF verities, this Treaty will be
rich fund of amusement as well as instruction.
The grave stipuiations that Dominica shall not De
subject TO this or that hazard or loss by reason of
war or minor bOstiities, might force grin on the
countensDce of an iron statue. Though three
times as long as il need be, all the meaning there
is in this document enures to the benefit of the
more powerful and smarter of the contracting
parties, except so much of Art. III az guaran-
tees to citizens Of Dominica NEARLY all of them

| POLITICALLY rights of citizens; but this clause the
Dominican Legislature deems too vague aud
! eQuiyOcal. to secure the end il meditates, and
proposes en- amendment according TO mulattoes
expressly the rights thus assured in general
terms. This our Plenposentisres will not agree
to, and so there is Glitch ~ present, which
Santana is urged to remove by coup d'6tat,
like Louis Napoleons; but he has not yet
screwed his courage up to that point. We doubt
that he ever will.
Tie beauty of this Treaty is strikingly exhib-
tied in Art. XIX, respecting COnsus, which in
effect forbids Dominica to accredit her cotee-col
Ored citizens Consuls in any of the Slave States
With this sweeping reservation, we should say
the wiser course would be to say plumply that
the United States may accredt as many and such
CoDsuls as they choose to Dominica but that Do.
minica shall not send her "niggers' here as
Consulf, especially to the Slave States. Decided
ly, this is great Treaty, and we urge all who
are interested in seeing how white folks deal
with "nisgers '-(witness San Juan de Ncara-
| gus)--tO study and admire it.

IOWA-U. =. SENArOR.

The Nebraska minority in the Legislature, We
learn by mail, have in caucus agreed dec. 2O) to
support for L. s. Senator Ebeas:ev Cook, the Sill
yer Gray candidate, who twice received two votes
in the Wing Caucus, and is understood to have
five Wing supporters in all. This is all right.
The sooner the People are permitted to see that
barely name divides (say rather Distinguished
Wing from Democratic Hunkerism the better
for all hands. There have been quite enough Of
cross purposes already.
From the silence Of the telegraph, we infer
that no Senator has yet been chosen. We pre-
sumo that the vote Of neither party has yet been
fully concentrated. 1t is understood that tho
election Of Cook Of he get it, is in part to be
paid for by the choice of three Supreme Judge
from the ranks Of the Nebraska Democracy.

TEMPERANCE AT ALBANY.

We have elected a Governor who is earnestly
and thoroughly for Liquor Prohibition, with a
Legislature at least ostensbly in accord with
him. The Temperance majority in either House
will be found 10 consist of three or four
distinct sorts, namely: |. Politicians who have
favored Prohibition in the hope Of beneftng thei,
parties respectively; 2. Aspirants who event
"in" for Temperance in order TO make their call
ing and election sure; and 3. Real, whole
hearted Temperance men, whose chief Indictment
TO spending the winter in Albany is an earnest de-
sire to promote the cause of Prohibition, and
who covet the opportunity to enroll their names
in favor of stringent Maine Law. There are
miner subdivisions, and the tive first classes are
in many instances identical; but the classified
ton 10 the best we can make.
Now the Temperance men for psrtys sake and
for their own sakes are substantially agreed on
tbs sround-l. That some Prohibitory bill must
be passed; and 2. That it must be drawn as mild
as possible. They desire law that will shut up
Iot', miserable grogshops where bad liquor 10 sold,
and bear as lightly as possible on genteel respeeta
tie establishments where pure liquor is dispensed
a. generous prices. They wish to satisfy their
Temperance supporters yet retain the favor of
the distillers' importers and respectable vendors
of Alcoholic beverages. And they are veryproupt
and liberal in their denunciatons of all who take
q different view Of the matter a. fanatics i'm
'prasticables,' &C., &c.
Now We urge the passage Of most stringent
act for several reasons, asfolows; l. Because the
experience Of Connecticut, when contrasted with
that Of other States which have attempted Pro-
hibition. shows that . stringent law can be en-
forced - no other can be; 2. Because the People
