st. Domingo Affairs.

a WHITE Man TO DE ACCREDITED AS
MINISTER TO WAsuINGroY.-The Wash.
'ngton correspondent of the New York
Times, in letter dated the 25,h inst.
says:
learn from very reliable source that
so soon as Baez vas defeated and Santana
restored to power in ST. Domingo, as re.
ported by Capt. Mcintosh. Of The United
States Navy, our Government took the
'nitiatory step towards securing foot hold
there, which may lead to the establishment
OF permanent government by the whites.
Santana, himself white msn, is aI,ogeth.
er favorable to the whites, and, in the opin
s2A OF the administration, the golden mo-
ment mas arrived for securing an influence
on the Island which may lead to its rs.
generation. 1t may be remembered that
H'ez proposed sending diplomatic agent
1" he United States, but, u mulatlo him
sell, he wished 10 acc,edit negro as his
representative near this Government. To
thi' objection was urged by Mr.. Mason and
"'ne' IA The United States Senate, even
before the delivery of the bred Scott
oF'n!on. Santana, as our Governmen,
has been informed, is anxious to send a
white Minister here, provided the United
States will recognize his Government, and
give him their influence and encourage
mens. This subject has occupied much OF
tho attention Of the Executive, and "a I
believe Mr.. Buchanan will wan, TO make
clean sweep, should lie determine TO
enlarge the area of freedom in the Gulf, ]
doubt not arrangements are being per
tected for backing up Santana, and sus-
tanning him in his efforts to form ,es-
PectabIe Government, assigning to the
negro population that social and. political
position only to which nature intended
them. hope soon to disclose TO your
readers the wholeS'. Domingo program

An Earnest Question.

IF man die, shall lie live again t"--JoB IA, a.
BY CHARLES TAYLOR.
Tie days appointed man 10 live
Are few and full of pain,
And when he dies, can any tell
If he shall live again!
The lilies and the roses bloom
IN summers gentle rain,
Thcy die in winter, but in spring
The flowers live again.
The seasons come ana pass away
In ,hCif successive :rain,
Winter may shroud the earth in gloom,
But it will smile again.
When in the rich and fertile soil,
The farmer sows his grain,
1t dies-but, spripging forth renewed,
1t blooms and lives again
Will man, who gocth to the tomb
Forever there remain?
is derth m everlasting sleep!
Or, Shall he live again
Of al the millions who have passed
To that unknown domain,
Not one has e'cr returned 10 tell
If any live again.
l asked TIC cages Of the earth
asked them--bui in vain
If, after sleeping in the grave,
A man should live again?
But, mol found twas far beyond
The reach of human ken,
To tell me it, beyond the tomb,
Ger shonld live again
then looked on the sacred page
There Inspirations pen
Had written-though we all must die
We all shall live again.
When those we love are called away,
How dark and chcerless then
Would be our hearts, did we not know
That they shall live again.
Though earthly scenes are fading fast
Though life is on the wane-
We will not mourn rs without hope.
For we shall live again.
Yes, we snail live again, in heaven,
Where sorrow, care and pain,
Shall be forgotten, mid the joys
Of those who live again.
The ties that Death has broken here,
lie there no more carf sever;
Kindred and friends united then,
Shall iive-and live forever!
