4 THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
Our Slavery-extending Government seems to BE
making more progress just now towards the ocqu-
} sition of San Domingo than of Cuba. The follow
ing letter is from the Baltimore Patriot the editor
of which says, 'the letter may be relied on as au
thentc so far as its facts affirm" The Tribune
conjectures that it was written CoraMongomery'
alias Mrs. Cazneau, the wife of the American
Commissioner, and who is supposed to be the ac-
tual diplomatist, who has so successfully ncgoci-
E ated the present treaty.
-, =" this correspondent it seems that a hcaty Of
...,....,,. .,s "hout completed with the Domini-
can Government ana ,,,cfo.,cH we knew it, we but
barely escaped having State comr?seu - e'i0f''
people annexed to this Anglo-Saxon confedcr:c,y.
What marvellous escape! And we are indebted
it seems, to the threats Of the British Consul for
this deliverance
Another very remarkable fact, the letter dis
closes, viz: that the American Commissioner finds
himself on terms of social equality with the Nack
Dominicans What are coming to? An Amer
loan Commissioner, living entirely" among
blacks, and slaveholling Baltimore paper pub
fishing the fact with appreciation. But then it is
all for Slavery. Had General Cazeneau and his
diplomatic lady consented to this association for
the advancement of Liberty, the Baltimore Patriot
would have counted them worthy Of the honors OF
t the tar kettle and the gbbct. But great is Sla-
a yery 1t can sanctify any means which advances
+ its ends.
