Serious Troubles In Hayti-The Negro "a Dis

Power will be constrained to put an end to

ment Of white mans government
Meantime, Salnave, the President of Hayti,
Is making great preparations to carry OF
the war against the Oaco rebels and to pre-
vent the United States from acquiring samaaa,
on the eastern peninsula Of St Domingo. The
puissant negroes Of ST. Domingo, seeing this
great republic has been morally and politically
subjugated by their own race and that their
race Is likely to be tho balance of power and the
controlling element In our government, have
resolved to show their importance by beard
ing the "Yankees." They USED to be quite re-
spectful, but now they despise US well. We
cannot complain. Have we not declared the
negro the superior Of the white man in the
Southern States Is thsre not good reason for
these St. Domingo negroes looking down upon
the white "YankeesW What will Mr.. Seward

he had this business about the Bay Of
SANTANA nicely fixed, and that our navy
would ride proudly there with the Stars

The negro caused our OWL war thousands of
millions Of debt have been piled up and hum

feed on bis account; the country Is suffering
the throes Of revolution, and the ruin Of the
faireSs portion Of the Continent is threatened
for his sake. and now we are either to have q
war With him in foreign country or permit
ourselves 10 be snubbsd and thwarted In this
matter Of SANTANA. Truly, these Africans are
costly and very troublesome people to have
anything to do With.
But 1t Is not only to US or with us that they
arc troublesome. AT the same time we re-
ceived this telegram about Salnave and the
St Domingo negroes we received another from
Venezuela informing us that the rebellion
there was increasing, with little prospect Of
peace. The present rebellion, as, In fact, the
numerous preceding rebellions and disturb
ances In that country, arose from max
ing tho negroes an element Of politl-
cal power. Tadlo and Gregorio Monagas
overturned the governments and made them
selves dlctators BY giving the negroes politi.
cal power and by creating an army composed
chiefly Of that race. Venezuela has been In
continual revolution ever since. As to Hayti
and ST. Domingo, we can hardly keep up with
the revolutions and Instructions there. II Is
the chronic condition OF the whole island. In
Central America, South America, and every
where else where the negroes have been made an
element Of political power, the same condition
OF affairs exists to . greater or lesser extent
according to tho number OF negroes and the
use which parties and revolutionists can make
Of them. Even whore they arc comparatively
few 10 number they are often used as bal
ance Of power for the worst purposes. This,
too, is the state Of things to which We are being
brought by the radical party and by the infamous
Legislation Of radical Congress. Surely, these
facts relative to ST. Domingo, Venezuela
and other Afrlcanlzed or partially Afrioapizcd
countries should be warning, and arouse the
people Of the United States against the
strocious negro supremacy policy OF our rsdi-
cal Congress.
