One of the best articles of diet at this

NEGRO Runs.--The following lis pic
ture drawn by northern Radical news
paper Of the negro rule in St. Domingo,
after they have had fifty gears of expe-
rience as rulers of about the fairest spot
Of earth:
"The latest news from San Domingo is
that the country is in anarchy, and the
prisons are full. Of course there must be
some sort of governing force in existence
to keep the prisons full; but this is pro-
badly about the full extent Of its power.
It is painful to see such rich and charm
ing part of the world given. up to ruin and
savagery. 1t is grievous to see the control
Of such o country in the hands of such q
people. But we see no help for it. And
we may rest satisfied that if there be any
lower depths Of human degradation than
that which they have reached, it will not
require them many years to sink to it. IF
the population would resort to cannibalism,
and devour each other out of existence,
it would probably be the best thing that
could happen"
