THE DAILY SPY.



Gen. t1adsden's Letter to JEFF Davis.
Private. MEXICo, July 10, 1851.
GEN. DAvIs-Dear Sir: | have only time
before the express leaves, for a very brief
note. The affairs Of this republic are IN a
status rather retrogadng. The treasury is
minus. The possible replenishing by the
treaty Isalready anticipated in contracts to build
up military and naval power. The latter is
an absurdity-the former necessity to Sus-
tam the power which Santa Anna weakly as
pires to. If he can command IL revenue he
may have brieftriumph. But the ignorance
OF himself and cabinet in not yielding to the
spirit and progress of the age, and in vainy
hoping that they can sustain the antiqualed
policy Of monopolies and restrictions, aban-
doned by every enlightened country, will
prove the downfall OF centrally and tyranni-
cal eXactions.
You will see from the proclamation of the
governor general of Cuba that my spucula-
tons on the policy of Spain in relation to that
island were not eXtrayagant. If YOU will
compare this document, which you can see in
the Intelligencer Of the 10Th of June, with the
decree of previous date on the propagation
OF African slavery, you will find they are in
harmony. The statesmen of the world are
awakening to the great truths which the liar
perS and the McDufies of my little state first
foreshadowed as to African slavery The
subseryiency and dependence of the inferior
to the superior class, and tie conviction on
the part OF the Observation-Disclosures, have only
increased their rabdness while the work will
go on, and the designs of providence be full
nlled. Cuba, whether annexed or remaining
separate sovereignty from Spain and the
united states, and carrying out that policy of
humanity which PGzuela has proclaimed for
securing the "maintenance and prosperity
and the increase of slavery" will prove the
nucleus of its restoration in the other islands
which by an opposite and mistaken policy are
rapidly lapsug into barbarsm.
Have you ever in your visions dreamed of
great federation OF West India islands, slim
ulated IN their prosperity and advancement
by African slavery as now existing in the
southern states? History has never recorded
such commercial and naval power as Cuba,
st. Domingo, Porto Rico and jamaica united
under one federation, could rear APP The
movements in Cuba make it no longer
dream Of the Imagination. And if the
United States, true to her own interests,
would take the inatory steps to protect the
white race in ST. Domingo, and give them the
opportunity OF recovering that garden of
Eden, from which French incendiarism
drove its Adams and its Ewes, lIayti and
Domingo would sing anthems to their
delivererS from bar0arism, and their re-
generation under the restoration of African
slavery. AS startling as may seem the spec
ulation, it is Il work more easy of ac-
complishment than the vain efforts to free the
black man and to regenerate them under an
African empire. 1t is worth consideration,
however, and becomes particularly htvrvSt-
ing 10 the southern states Of our federation.
Without annexation and free from those
conflicts at Washington to check southern
expansion there, the southern planter OF en-
terpriSe would find space enUdgL and induce
ments enough to seek new homes Tor himself
and dOmeStics in the most lovely domains OF
Gods creation, and all united in harmony UNI
der one homogeneous American system /
must again. therefore, invite your considera-
ton to the suggestions in my last, and of the
agency | would be pleased to exercise in the
examination, if not the promotion of these
Authorizations. | should judge from the
movements OF senator Douglas that the report
of Gen. Cazeno must have been favorable, and
from his letter to the Evening Post, he seems
deeply impressed with some views | have de-
tailed, and which | presume must have been
the objects Of that commission. | presume, if
diplomatic relations with st. Domingo are
opened, that general and Mrs. Flora Mont
SOiDSTy Will return anu nave charge. MY
views were not to supcrccde those individuals
who merit confidence, but only to be gem
eral inspector through all the islands named,
extending to the minor, If deemed advisable,
so as to be well informed as to their state and
condition and the designs of those who at
present direct their destinies. The presi.
dent of st. Domingo must consult with me In
his negotiations, and both comprehendlng and
favoring their policy, act i'll concert to ad-
vance.
We cannot begin til; work too soon, and a
most important preliminary would be, as IN
Japan to secure coal station at SANTANA. A
rendezvous Of American steamers at that point
would not only afford us the means Of pro-
tecting American commerce i'll the Indies and
on the coast of South America, but to guard
and watch with faithful eye interests which
are growing up i'll that quarter, and which
seem to have created no little emotion in the
United States. II the president and yourself
accord to my views and wishes, all that will
be necessary will be to put at my disposal the
Fulton, to be at Vera Cruz in November, SO
that we may have the winter months for ex-
ANIMATION, &c
Let me hear from you early as practical
bic, so that | may go to work to prepare for
the InQusitorial Cruz Ii right care be done
here to enlighlen these people and make them
understand their interests as identified with
the American system, it will engage my I'M
ceasing vigilance. But the church, the old
Spanidrds, the monarchial influences, with
that OF those moneyed changers whom our
Savior drove from the temple, are so predom-
nant in power that | almost despair Of any
regeneration in the cause of free trade, AS an
tagonlstica to monopOlies, restrictions, church
temperatures, and all the plumber involved in
that policy. Yours, DC.
