SECRET TREATY BETWEEN THE ALLIES AND
DOMINICA England and France are not 30
fully occupied by Russia but they can ind time
to watch Brother Jonathan, and keep control
of the gates of the Pacific trade A reliable
correspondent in Madrid assures us that a pri-
vatc treaty has been made by France, England
and Spain, with the Dominican government, in
which the latter, for a certain consideration,
has pledged itself to the following conditions,
Wis
No settlers from the United States, of any
class or color, shall be encouraged to hold
lands or take up their residence in ST. Domingo
No land for mining purposes factories, or
coal depots, shall be sold, leased or coded,
either to private companies or to the American
government, without the prior consent of the
French and British governments
Now let US examine the meaning OF these
conditions -
The island of ST. Domingo covers the free
passage of our trade by the Caribbean Sea and
the Isthmus of Darien, as Cuba covers the Gulf
Of Mexico and the use Of the Tehuantepec
transit. 1t is cardinal object with England
SSA~s
mand Of those great gates of communication
between the various sections of the American
Union, and to prevent us from controlling the
West India market. This explains the prompti-
tude with which those powers sent their order
to ST. Domingo to cancel the treaty with the
United States, and which they effected without
the least remonstrance from our Cabinet. The
tame acqiescence of our government in this
outrage encouraged them to follow up their
advantage by triple treaty with Spain for
the general protection of negro and European
interests in the Antilles.
This compact with the Dominican Republic
takes away from the United States the only
chance open to them for commercial foot
hold therein, and the Allies may now take their
own time to hand over Cuba and Porto Rico to
Sambo and Satan-the rest Of the West Indies
is theirs already.

! Now, we are anxiously waiting for the opin-
ions Of the organs of the administration de-
mocracy of the South touching this Soft
Shell Convention, its resolutions, and its no
limitations. Let us know where we stand.
MORE CHEATING, PERHAPs.-Some Of the soft
shell Syracuse delegates, as we are informed
by the Erening Post deny that the second reso-
luton of Mr. Cassidy, declaring the repeal of
the Missouri compromise an act "unwise and
uncalled for" ever passed the convention.
Will the committee having the subject in
charge be good enough to put the resolutions
together that were adopted, SO that we may
know officially whether their platform stands
upon two legs or upon three?
