A Bfbt ON the American system.

The Dominican republic-that Isl the white
State occupying the east half of the island of
Hayti-is the only Spanish American govern
ment which has introduced trial by jury; it is
the only one in which the constitution and the
civil law IS really paramount to military autho-
rty; and, although il is constantly threatened
with war of determination by the negro des-
potism of Hayti, it is the only country speak
ing the Spanish tongue that relies upon its citi-
zen militia for its defence, instead OF burdening
them with the support of costly standing
army.
1t is also the only one in which the roads and
the rural districts are free from highway rob-
bers; it is the only one in which all denomina
tions of religion are positively free, and there
many diverse ones are fourishing in numbers
and responsibility, although our Protestant
missions have done less for it than almost any
other portion of America. 1t is the only one In
which the old Spanish trammels of passports
and permits of residence are practically done
away; and, finally, it is the only one in which
Americans can buy and hold real estate with
all the freedom and security they enjoy under
their own laws. Yet this brave and liberal
little State which has stood faithfully to its
republican constitution, without change or de-
fault, from the day itswhite citizens shook off
the yoke of its negro invaders from Hayti is
the only one which the United States has not
recognised. Mr.. Polk, Mr.. Fillmore, and Mr..
Pierce have, in succession, omitted this plain
and polite duty; and left this central and i'm
portant American island wholly at the dispo-
sal of England, France, and Faustin the First
Surely, this omission is q small blot on the
boasted american system."-N Y. Sun.

Seizure of Russian War Steamers.-As we
were going TO press we received the gratifying in
formation that, through the diligence Of Mr.. Scan
Ian, ofihe customs a seizure has been effected OF
two war steamers, in the course of completion by
Mr.. Pitcher. of Norlhfee,, for the Emperor of all
the Russias. The seizure of the vessels was eff
fecied about nine O'Clock last evening, and AT an
early hour this morning Mr.. Scanan seized the
steam engines and the boilers, then ready 10 be
put on hoard. Whatever may be thought of the
patriotism Of he shipbuilders by whom the exc
cution OF such contracts had been undertaken il is
impossible not TO admire the foresight of Mr..
Pitcher who, il appears, insistedup II, as con-
dition OF the contract, that as the work progressed
he should be paid by instalments. The loss occa-
stoned by the seizure will consequently fall on the
Russian government. The vessels are described
ms OF hrst-cass character; and their building and
equipment were superintended by three Russian
engineers OF high reputation. But these scientific
gentlemen deeaed il prudent 10 depart some time
ago, and, as We learn, for America, for the pur-
pose OF having further contracts of The same kind
executed in that country for their government.
II has been represented TO us that the partes have
been endeavoring, in avoidance of the forfeiture
incurred by this transaction, TO set up contract
for the disposal Of the ships seized and their ma
chnery 10 the subjects of neutral power; but in
the face of proceedings which Indicate bevonJ a
doubt, that the contract has been between a Brit
ish citizen and our declared enemy we have. no
apprehension that the government will permit the
denquents 10 escape the consequence OF their
misconducf.-LondonG Giobe, Aprl 5.
