Although the facts, views and deductions Of
your correspondent have been subsequently
fully verified and established by the investI-
cation, testimonEand official reports Of agents
employed BY tbs United States, yet no effect
nal steps have been taken, to check or prevent
the maturing Of Spanish designs, nov IN
prosperous course Of fruition. These demon. non
.Heyating In political might: and majesty by
tAeirbWn iissensj2gg are Of great Importance
to them, as well as Is all nations interested in
: the cause Of human rights and freedom: The
Dominican republic, with its white, black and
bondage Of Spain Hayi is to follow in the
wake Of Spanish policy, by previous under
standing with the French Emperor. .
England is taeit, under quiet view Of advan.
tage for the produce Of her looms; Englandis
tacit, under the Influence Of her yarns, when a
free people pass under the domination Of an
arbitrary, absolute, slayeholding power; when
slaye Ioor and slave traffic are to be checked
and cnrbed. wide discussion, eth February,
House Of Conlmons-Lords John Russell and
Palmerston). England sits still with folded
arms and says nothing, while Spain absorbs
nationalities recognized by all civilized COM
munities Of the world, for reasons which can
be multiplied for the national advantage by
millions, perhaps. How: will it be with the
growing prosperity and power of the nation,
Just emerging from its moulting condition Of
half century, when Spain goes down with all
her strength to annex Mexico? She is only
held in restraint now, under the impression
that from the valleys Of the Mississippi thou
sands wouldf towards the sierras Of Mexi-
co to prevent the acqnieition. =.
The political disturbance in the United
States showed that the time was ripe for the
aggressive purposes of Spain, and hencs the
prompt advantage taken Of 1t. But is this
enormity to pass unrebnked? Are not all the
States in Or out Of the Union, interested In the
cause OF llberty-ln political and social r1ghta
And is there not aggregate strength enough in
the Union as 1t stands to compel the respect Of
foreign Powers.
someresponse must be made to these things.
Who ie to do It? The colored rnce will cry
aloud if Spain conquers the, whole Island Of
HaFtl, as she ia bound to do, and she will not
be: likely to recognize any free negroes
among her subjects so acquired.
From The N. r. .Times-Edltorial1
tt is beyond question that the policy Of
Spain, If she Is permitted to perfect her pres
ent intention, will undoubtedly be, first to in
troduce the apprentice system, between which
and perpetual serVitude what little distinction
exists can easily be Withdrawn, and eventually
to snbdue tho neighboring Republic Of Hayti,
and transport Its citizens to the sugar planta-
tions Of Cuba. -.
The propagandism Of Slavery is engrafted
/ upon the colonizIng policy Of Spain, and with
al1 the force Of q new hirth-a regeneration as
Power upon earth---ahe is determined to en-
force 1t. Are we already SO dead to the grand
principle Of human liberty, SO lost to o sense
Of our own nationality, SO absorbed in inter
necine feuds, as quietly to permit this foul
nsurpation over the rights Of freemen-and
that, too, within cable's length Of our own
shore?
Spain, even laushty and proud as she feels
Of her newborn power, would not dare to take
such step, did size not realize that her true
strength lies IN The weakness and distractions
Of cur own councils. Our dissensions have
| been welcomed by her as offering precisely
| the opportunity Ehe desires for reaumipg her
| position as o. Power on the Western Conti-
| nent. One Of the leading Madrid Journals, q
| few days since, thus noticed our secession
"The tropbsos & low threatening the existence ot
the Amerchn Union nre not subjects Of grief to the
people OF Spain. Her political integrity, her in.
terests Of race, Of religion and her policy require
that stop be pnt to the progress Of this swelling
| population: lit were proper to be pleased with
other peoples Inis1ortunes, Spain could, perhaps
have rea to reoIce at what ia happening on The
| other side Of the oeeau." -
But San Domingo Is not the only direction
| towards WHICH Spanish ueurpatdon is tending.
Gen. Miramon. late President Of Mexico, has
arrived in this city, en- t1oate to Spain, whittier
| Senior Pacheco, late Spanish Minister to Me1-
| co, has already gone; and the object Of both
of these gentlemen is to urge upon the willing
ears ef the Spanish Queen the facility of re.
storing this long lost jewel to her ancestral
crown We do not realize the sudden strides
| Of Spain toward her pristine greatness; we do
not see her young fleet Of splendid steamers,
aud her well-clad troops, and but few Of us
| know that she has at present in her Treasury
| the snug sum of twenty -Heven millions Of dol
| lars; yet We all remember her history, aud its
lessons ought to teach US that, with the return
| Of her power and strength, will be sure to
| come the desire Of recoHquest.
It becomes our Government at once to take
the most vigorous and decisive measures with
in its power 10 meet this emergency. If Spain
| seizes st. Domingo, and makes an organized
| attempt to re-establish her authority over
Mexico, We may speedily look for the advent
| Of fresh fleets from Europe-and the interVen-
tiol Of other Powers in the affairs Of this Con
