FROM HAYTI.-By late arrivals from Port au
Prince, it appears that the Emperor in en-
gaging in the late contest depended too much
on the interested representations of disaffected
Domlnicana; but, although defeated. he was
not disposed to listen to dctation from for.
eign Power as to his future action in the affairs
OF his government. 1t was suspected that the
interest shown by the English and French Of.
hclals towards Faustin 1. proceeded solely
from Jealousy of the progress and influence of
the United States both in the Congress and
Cabinet. The Dominican authorities had
ratified treaty with the United States tits
identical with the one negotiated by General
Cazeneau. President MOta had proclaimed
death to all outlaws or flibusters landing on
the island

PopuLAR vorE or kxoxuK.-Ws feel graft
6ed, - do Republicans generally, .. the 70.
suit OF the election in this city on Tuesday.
On onr ticket in August there was an average
majority Of 81. On the Presidential vote
last Tuesday there WAS o Buchanan majority
Of 80. Nominally there 10 = gain to the
Black Democracy Of 50 when they polled
their last vote, with doubtless some that had
no business in the ballot-box. The result
shows this: First. there having been 249
Fillmore votes cast, in addition to the GLIB
Fremont votes, the Black Democracy are in
q minority Of eli in this city. Second, as
the Americans generally professsd to and
mostly did vote our State aud Congressional
tickets in August, after taking their vote from
ours and finding the pure Fremont party only
90 below the Buchanan party, or S3 below
its relative vote in August, il follows tina,
the Fremont element has gained greatly since
the August election. 1t 10 now the stronges,
and solidest political sentiment in Kcokuk
