in all the land will rejoice that the rigor of
Mr. Davis's imprisonment has been greatly
abated; that he is no longer to he tortured by
the ceaseless tramp and constant annoyance
Of his keepers; nor to be shut up within
the narrow limits Of cell; that year of such
inhuman treatment as he has been compelled
to endure, which has nearly sent him to his
grave, has been deemed sufficient; and that
for the present, at least, he is to be treated,
not as felon, but as high-lninded, brave
hearted, and honorable prisoner Of State

negroes think they are going to exterminate
the whites, and have the whole island to
themselves for an African paradise of hog
meat, pantains and nakedness, while in fact
they are supplied with arms, and set on to
burn, destroy and worry the Dominicans into
asking the Spaniards back again, as of the
two evils, better than subjugation TO- these
wild border negroes Of Hayti. aaa
