The Sale of Dominica to Spain--.What
Redpath Says Of it.
james Redpsth has cen to lIayti, late.
ly, rolonizing free American negroes on
fee Haytian lands. lie has been quite
favorite with the black President OF Hay
ii, and has had access 10 sundry official
sources Of information, whence he claims
TO BE- thoroughly posted as TO the report
ed transfer OF Dominica 10 Spain. Lie
does not believe in the cession, and here
is his version Of the business: -.7 b.
Some years ago-what | say now is
drawn from Haytien official SOU Ices--San'
lana president of Dominica borrowed q
million o. dollars from Spain. Failing
to repay it accoIdiDg TO the terms of the
loan, he offered to give a mortgage on the
Custom Houses. Lsst summer, accord
ngly, small band Of Spaniards-not
more than eighty in aIl--arrived at ST..
Domingo, and three officials among them
Immediately entered on their duties as
Collectors at the ports. The rest were
mechanics. That is all the 'cmigation'
that has been sent to the Dominican He
public by Spain
There has been a small emigration
rom South Ameiica, but this tide, with
its flux and rehux is as old rs the inde-
pendence of the Spanish Colonies; for,
whenever there is revolution in Venezn
ella or the adjoining countries. numtrrS
of the banishtd seek home 10 the Do
minican Republic.
This policy Of Santana furnished the
material for crcating an effective union
among the opposition TO his Government.
See! he is selling the country to the whites!
Even AS early as December last, revoIu.
lionary circulars and procl"masions were
in type in st. Domingo; and copy Of tho
proofs, | know, welo shown to n distin.
guished Embassador ut Paris. But this
prof ct was nipped in the bud, and Bac2
(ex head Of oppositon) is still in exile
The intrigues Of the opposition cOntinu'
ing and increasing, Santana has called
for aid first, ia order to secure the per
petuity Of his own Government, and sec
ondly TO enable him to repay the loan.
This, | venture to say, is the "sum to
tai of the whole" hubub that We heal
from Havana.

Wnr-Likc.

The news for the past week have been
valike. The Government seems TO bave
aroused itself from position of "masterly
inactivity" to one Of action. From the
dispatches of yesterday war is iminent.
The ADMINISTRATION have determined to
provision Major Anderson at all hazards.
This policy, Without doubt, will involve
the sections in conflict of arms. Gov.
Pickens has refused Major Anderson sup
plies, and Sumter must beproy'sioned or
abandoned. The abandonment Of the fort
would be tie triumph of rebellion and the
disgrace and humiliation Of the Govern
ment. The provisioning Of the Fort could
not be tortured into an offensive move
Iss purely defensive, the simple nam
tenancs Of the present status OF things
As the South Carolinians have cut OF
Major Anderson's supplies. and proclaim
ed 10 The world their determination to pre-
vent the Government from provisioning
the Fort, it may be reasonably expected
that when United States armed vessel
enters Charleston harbor with the avowed
purpose Of supplying the necessities Of the
Fort, that she will.be fred upon, and that
civil war will be iDaugurated by the move.
No man who is on the side of his country
will ceusure this move. II ID the step
that ought TO have been taken months
ago. II is late in the season, TO be sure
for great government like ours was late
" thought to be, to manifest its deierml'
nation not 10 be overlbrown and crushed
out by treason, but better late than never
If civil war is The result Of this effort tc
save the nation--to preserve q Conslitu
ton that has so well secured our civi
rights, and so thoroughly protec ed ou
liberties the curse upon the heads
the wrong doers. aud may God aid Ih'
right.
The time has come for action. Some
thing must be done, and done quickly, o
all is lost. Compromise is out OF III
question. 1t hss been tried and tried il
vain Every effort has proved abor!ve
To talk about it now Is as i'd 'e as the wind
There are but two things that can be done
and one of them should be done wilhou

luton or the maintenance If the Govern
ment by its strong arm. The Admins
