ANNEXATION TO THE UNITED STATES PROPOSED
BY THE INsURGENTs-wHAr sALNAYE SAYS.
Late numbers of the MORiteur, the official
organ Of the Haytien Republic contain some strange dis
closures on the subject Of annexation TO tho United
States.
On the 18th Of January last the Independence d Hate,
paper which supports the present rebellion against the
Government of President Sanaye, and which Is published
at Jacmel town the south coast held by the rebels
spoke thus of President Johusons last message to Con-
gress: ave have read In spite OF Its great engn tne
message President johnson to the American Congress
AT the openne OF the session. That document IS alto
gether interesting that but Tor the pressure upon cur
space il should appear in full IA columns. We cont
fine ourselves Therefore reproducing that part OF the
message which relates 70 our country Let fresldeht
Johnson and all who think with him, know, however,
that the Haytian prepared TO bury himself under the
ruins Of bis country rather than lose his nat3naiIty
There are but two men bearing the name OF Haytln
who dream or who labor, to annex Hayti to foreign
mower. These are Salnaye and Baez."
