The Dominican Treaty.

The Dominican Treaty.
The New York Tribune has possessed itself
OF the treaty of amlty and commerce recent
ly negotiated by Mr. and Mrs. Cazneau. on
the part of the United States, with the Exc
Icutia of the Spanish or Muatto end of the
island of Hayti The public have heard
much OF this treaty incidentally, but this is
the first time they have been favored with a
sight OF the instrument. The Tribune does
not say how 1t came in possession of the
Idocumant, but begs the curious TO rest as
Isured that it knows exactly where it came
from, and thai it can warrant its authentici
ty. The treaty occupies three columns of
the Tribune, and would hardly pay for the
space it would occupy in our paper It's
most curious points are set forth in the fol-
lowing synopsis which accompanies its pub
lication:
For those who are accustomed to look be-
meath words in search of verities, this trea-
ty will be a rich fund of amusementa as we'll
as instruction. The grave stipuations that
Dominica shall not b. subject to this or that
hazard or loss by reason of war or minor hos
uIities, might force grin on the counten-
ance of an iron statue. Though three times
as long as it need be, all the meaning there
is in this document inures to the benefit of
the more powerful and smarter of the con-
tracing paltics, except so much of Art. III
ds guarantees to the citizens of Dominica
(nearly all of them imperfectly beache
" niggers y the legal (not political) rights Of
cstizens; but this clause the Dominican
legislatur deems too vague and equivocal, to
secure the end it maditates, and proposes an
amendment according to mulattoes expressly
the rights thus assured in general terms
This our plenipotentiaries will not agree to,
and so there is a 6 hitch at present, which
Santana is urged to remove by coup d'etat
like Louis Napolecn's; but he has not yet
screwed his courage up to that point. We
doubt that he ever will.
The beauty of this treaty is strkingy ex-
hibited in Art. XIX, respecting consuls,
which in effect forbids Dominica to accredt
her coffee colored citizens as consuls in any
Of the slave states! With this sweeping
reservation, we should say the wiser course
would be to say that the United States may
accredit as many and such consuls as they
choose to Dominica, but that Dominica shall
not send her niggers here as consuls, es-
pecially 10 the slave states. Decidedly, this
is the great treaty, and we urge all who are in
terested in seeing how white folks deal with
& niggers '-(witness San Juan de Nicara-
gua)-to study and admire it.
