SANTIAGO. Uslsnd Of Hayti,) Sept. IL, 1854.
The Island Of Hsyti is divided nsminslly be-
tween two governments, namely, the Dominican
Republic at the east, which is under white pro
ponderance, and the west which is exclusively
under the black. There is, however, third
party in the center of the island, almost distinct
from either The rich district Of the gold teem-
ing Cibao, and the fertile plain of the Vega 10
considered part Of the Dominican Republic but
il has its own independent aims and sympsthies
not entirely in accordance with those Of the cap
itsl and extreme east Of the Republic.
Central Hsyti is white with dash of Indian,
as Eastern Hayti is white with dash OF African.
and more than any other part Of the island IL
cherishes an incorporating hatred Of the Hay
tsps In every quarter the inhabitants have be-
fore their eyes the ruins of their former prosper
ity, and every family has its own tale OF horrors
about the negro invasions. They are afraid Of
even positive peace and free intercourse with
Hayti lest il might lead, as it did once before to
a union of the whole island under colored gov
eminent. They openly declare themselves in fl
vor Of annexation to the United States, and have
never ceased to demand white immigration. This

Union, or making il a separate and neutral State.
with ports entirely aud forever open to our com
merce, on condition of being protected from tho
all-destroying inroads OF the Haytians.
This memorial was buried like Sir John Moore.
in silence and darkness, without word from the
American press, but it awakened France and
England to insist upon peace between tho ad-
verse sections of the island.
Eastern Hayt has a large colored population,
and the fusion Of the races, with the final supro-
macy of Hayti, might be managed there II San
tana, the LiberatOr Generals Allan and Contre-
ras, the Minister Tejira and halfa-dozen men OF
their stamp could be out out of the way but Gen.
trail Hayti would never consent.
The British Consul has more than once advised
the DominicaDs to strike the white cross and raise
the Haytien tri. color, but President Santana was
enraged at the counsel and the Cibao said If It
was attempted they would form new State and
invite the Americans 10 come with letters oil
marque and conquer Hayti on their own account.
You will understand, therefore, that the Island
of Hayti is divided In two governments and three
parties, and that each party has about an equal
share of the territory but the Haytiens have two
thirds of the entire population-or 65O,0O0 out OF
million of souls.
Eastern Hayti is 90 much under European In.
huence that it may any day mccumb to the
European policy, which is declared here without
districts, which are anti European almost to
man.
The geographical position of these districts 10
much against their independence for they are be-
tween the two ires Of Hayti on one side and Eu-
ropean vassalage on the other. A recognition BY
the United States would be highly seryiceable To
the Dominican Republic and If it comes in timo
would unite its sections In common sentiment,
and settle ii firmly in Its place as an independent
American state. do not wish to see this island
or any part of it annexed to the United States. 1t
ought to be recognized for the sake Of our own
citizens, who would then have the monopoly Of
her trade, and entirely elothe this people with
our cotton.

the capital Of the republic, negotiating treaty
which will give our citizens the right to buy land
and work mines with all the rights and privileges
of native citizens. This is the same az giving .

not forget that these rights and advantages extend
to all classes and cOlors and in particular opens
a splendid field for educated and skillfui men Oh
mixed blood. The laws and the constitution
make NO distinctions Of color, and the customs Of
society accept for white men all In whom the
white blood yisibly preponderates.
I cannot say how pure African would pass, for

Let the friends Of the colored race try out the
problem Of its capacities on this friendly soil and
in this favorable climate. There Is nothing here,
not even the preudices Of society to hinder their
efforts. Land il cheap fertile, the laws liberal,
society kind and the country very near to you

the flower and force of the colored men Of tho
Union to come here and show the world what they
