 "Our education has been such that we have yer been rather in favor of He equality of the lacks that is, that they should enjoy all the rivileses of the whites where they reside. We re aware that this Is not very popular doctrine. We have had many confab with some who re now strong republicans we taking the broad round of equality and they the opposite ground. We were brought up in State where Jacks were voters, and we do not know of any Inconvenience resulting from it, though perhaps ! would not work as we'll where the blacks are aore numerous. We have no doubt of the 9ght of the whites to guard against such an evil, [ it IS one. Our opinion is that 1t would be best sor all concerned to have the colored population q State by themselves; but if within the Jurisdiction of the United States, we say by all Aeans they should have the right to have ther T ienauors and Represetatives in Congress, and to

We have received startling intelligence rela- tive to this republic.
 The information is reliable and to the effect that France and England hare made a secret arrangement with Faustin for the annexation of the Dominican republic with the negroes of Hayti. The subj jugaton of the island $ decd- ed upon by these powers for the purpose of ex- cluding American emigration and influence in the Caribbean Sea: and, to settle..thi noint for ever, they now renew the ''protoco. ?. 1854" on which the American treaty was aslde and the muato Baez placed in power
 This is the only independent American State in the whole circle of the West India Islands, all the rest being under Negr,or European dv- nasty.

 Santana resisted the " Protocol of 18sN ' but France and England used their navy to subvert him, and succeeded in placing that infamous Baez in power. They are now piayit,g the same game in Venezuela to protect Menagas.
 In 1854 treaty was made with tslkrepgsblic, conceding the use of a steam de i,Gf tosha Unit ed States. The Allies" sent tAei ,ealrons and peremptorily ordered this treaty bs can ceed.

Morphy Victorious.

BIRMINGHAM CHESS ToURNAMENT-MAToH BETWEEN MoapHy AND ANDERSEN ARRANGED From information received by the Wander bilt, we learn that Paul Morphy, the young American chess player, won the match he was playing with Herr Loewenthall, the score Ut the close standing thus:
 Morphy. Loewehtnail ..o
 The match was for $500
 The Birmingham chess tournament has re- suited (much to the surprise of the English chess world) in Herr Loewenthall's winningthe hrst prlze--a circumstance that must do much to reconcile him to his loss with the match with Morphy. Mir. Staunton, the great player who so unsparingly criticised both Morphy and Loewenthall in the columns of the Illustrated London News, was beaten handsomely by the last named gentleman, who scored two straight games-thus winning the prize Some time since Herr Loewenthall was in the habit of re- ceving the odds of the pawn and move from StauntoE, but now there seems to be but little difference between them; if any, they are in Leowenthal's favor.
 Aorphy's feat of playing eight blindfold games is astonishing all England. Seven of them he won and one he lost He is now in Paris, where he will play with Harrwitz and other continental players. The match between istaunton and Morpdy, for $5,Ooo, will be play I'd in London, commencing the first week in November. In the meantime the young Ameri- an has engaged to play match of twenty-one ames with Prof Andersen, of Preslau-sup- iosed to be the best player in the world.
