MORE TERRITORY CEDED,

The report to which We referred last week of The
cession of the Bay of SANTANA and adjacent terri.
tory, to this government by that of Dominica, is
confirmed. Dominica is n negro republic in tho
Island of IIayti, which has cast off and thu, far
successfully resisted the ~IIayticn authority, though
its independence has never vet been acknowledged.
Our slave cXtenSionists, unable to make Roadway
against llayti, have been long in intriguing with ths
Dominlcans for "A foot hold upon the island. In
this country they have represented it a, q republic
OF whites, and called upon our aristocracy of color
for sympathy. How false this statement is. our
readers will learn from the letter of Mr.. Judd, n
missionary in the Island, which will be found ON
our first page. 1t seems that at length the slave
holders arc successful. They have secured a foot.
hold upon the Island. And as the famous Au,tin's
Colony managed to pick q quarrel with Mexico,
and eventually steal Texas, so, doubtless by simf.

St. Domingo, and perhaps to subject both Domin.
lea and Ilayti, and once more introduce slavery
INTO the Island. Conquest for slave extension is
the purpose of the government. The Washington
otar, one OF the officials of the Government, talks
OF terrifying the peninsula of SANTANA. That GER
family looks as though conquest was its purpose.
Conquest and then annexation. Let Northern
Pro-Slavery men hesitate before they embark in
this enterprise. After purchasing this strip of un-
inhabited territory, are they willing to expend tho
vast amount that will be necessary to maintain n
fertilization in that Island? Are they willing for
the expenditure of the untold amount of human
blood that must necessarily flow before St. Domingo
could be reconquered to Slavery? 1t will be an
other, a more difficult and bloody conquest than
either the Texan Revolution or the subsequent
Mexican War. To what cruelty, injustice and in
fanny will not the American Union descend to per-
petuate and extend human Slavery!
The Tribune gives the following desert ption of
the Bay Of SANTANA and the adjacent country:
The Bay of SANTANA lies in the north eastern
corner of the island of St. Domingo. Its entrance,
which looks out upon the Atlantic, is some twenty
four miles wide, and its waters extend fifty miles
inland. In Its center, at some fifteen miles from
Cape Raphael, which marks the entrance on the
South, and twelve miles from Cape SANTANA on tho
North, are two islands, called the Grand Clevan-
tados Keys, each something like a mile long, which
efectually break the force of the external winds
and waves, and render the anchorage within as Sc
cure as it is convenient. Indeed, it is admitted
that there are few if any better or more espseious
harbors III the world. On the north of the Bay
stretches the peninsula of SANTANA, which, though
rather low and marshy az its connection with the
main body of the island, is Il billy and Irregular
extension of land, shaped something like a boot.
and varying in width from four to ten miles. Tho
port of SANTANA, which is said to be coded to the
United States, is formed by a cove some half a
mile wide, and IL little longer, which puts up from
the Bay into the peninsula. How deep the water
is we have no means of knowing, since no accurate
survey of the Bay was ever made; but there is no
doubt that the frigate Columbia, at her recent visit,
examined the soundings, and found them sufficient
for every purpose, or otherwise some other point
would have been treated for. We believe there are
a few houses there, occupied by wood-cutters, but
on this head we have no distict information; at any
rate, the number of inhabitants must be very,
small. The region is remote from the settled por.
tons of Dominica, being about 200 miles by sea,
the only convenient mode of getting there, from
st. Domingo City. To lose it entirely would be no,
serious injury to the Dominicans, were it not the
prelude to some such performance as took place in
Texas from 1886 to 1915, with the extension and
confirmation of Slavery in the North American
Union as its great end and object.
SUGAR IN ST. DoMINGo.-A correspondent Of tha
N. Y. Evening Post says there is not a pound Of
white sugar made ON the whole island of Hayti,
All the sugar cane grown there is converted into
rum and molasses and consumed by the iphsbit-
ants. The reason assigned by the Post for the dis,
continuance of the sugar manufacture is, that
from the age of fifteen years and upwards, the
males are soldiers. aud liable at any time to be
called into service by an imperial warrant, from
which there is no appeal and hence the planters
have no assurance of that continuous labor which
is needful for the manufacture of sugar.
