ANNEXATION or the DOMINICAN RE PUBLIC 70 THE UNITED

NEW YORK, August 26 1850.
To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The reported sale OF the st. Nicholas Mole has
been contradicted BY Mr. L. Laroche, Minister Of
Haytl adding "that the people or Haytl would
never ratify any treaty tending to the loss of Its
tonomy or the alienation Of part or the Island OF
Hayu." Mr. Laroche has forgotten that he only rep.
resens fraction OF the third part Of the island ruled
by Salnave and that he cannot speak for tho other
two-thirds occupied by the DominIcans who can
either sell lease as better suits their interest.
II Mr.. Larocbe Is so susceptible when he sees any
illusions made on his autonomy he ought to know
that President Baez Is neutrality-suspicious. with or
without the consent OF the peOple-for the annexa-

according to the arrangement made In st. Thomas

Mr.. Delorme, that some money had to DO raised In

The Upper Colorado.

Asyct. we have not seen anything like full report from Major Powell, chief of the party that lately descended the Colorado river. In his lecture at Salt Lake City--a brief synopsis of which was published in the Neirs. ot that place-he is reported as having said, that the Colorado river was one of the grandest eN- amples of the least possible erosion of the wa ters-tLe rains and snows of the clouds, In the Mississippi and other valleys we have exam ples of the greatest powers of the waters there the lateral rains have washed out inn mense valleys. removed the rocks and rem dered the country fit for human habitation, but in the Colorado river the case is quite different, As there is scarcely any rainfall in it's neighborhood, there has been but little lateral erosion, and the river has simply cut a gorge through the solid lime, sandstone and granite, leaving the masses of the rock tow ering thousands of feet on each side"
 From the above, we are forced to the belief that the Major and his party found but few valleys suitable for settlement on the upper
 
 not indulge the hope that it will ever be set tied by agriculturalists, yet, as he saw much granite formation, the country may be ricl in minerals. If so. it will be settled, and perhaps, the impediments to the navigation of the mighty stream overcome. Were th, Major to reside upon the Colorado for a few years, he would, most assuredly, attribut, the lack of erosion to some other cause thar that of the absence of great rain-faIls anC snows, for it is not the absence of these, or 0 great floods, that has prevented the formation of valleys The true cause, we think, | mainly attributable to the mountainous, rock, formation of the country through which tn portion of the river explored by him run, ] For four or five hundred miles from its moutl upwards, it runs th1ough an almost leve region-rcsembling that bordering the lowe Mississippi-and here it has worn out i'm mense valleys, and rendered the country fl for human habitation.n

Politics of the Territories.

\ recent number of the San Francisco Daily Herad has a lengthy article in praise of the Northern Territories for electing Democrats Co office. It credits them with great pros- perity, enterprise etc, and attributes all this good luck to the fact that they are and have ern Territories-New Mexico and Arizona "are and have been Republican, because they have been practically dead since the begin ming of the war. No mining stampedes have carried a fresh life-blood into their body cor porate. Their towns are stationary, their populations inert. The infusion of active young men, attracted by some strong, stimu- lating impulse, would make Arizona Demo- cratic within a year. Make New Mexico a li1 Territory, double its population, and give them fresh field to work in. and she will elect her future delegates and county officers with very different result" Now, speaking for Arizona, we deny that she is or ever has been Republican in politics,-the HeraId tO the contrary notwithstanding, Democrats fiji most os the county offices that are worth having, and our Delegates to Congress have all clamed relationship to the party, previous Co their election. The present one-an old line AbolitioDist-was elected by the Demo crats of Pima county in consideration of his having peoRed himself to them to do their local dirty work. He also succeeded in mak. ing Democrats in other counties believe that he was really Democrat,-but they were those who knew him not. It took him over five years-during which time he was Sccre tary and Governor of the Territory-to lay the plans by which he succeeded in jcrryman dering his way to Congress, and then, but for selling himself on the capital question, h, would not have succeeded. He can scarcely with truth, be called Arizona's Delegate, fo he was elected by the votes of Mexicans, i'm ported for that special purpose from Sonora by men claiming to be Democrats So yol will see, Mir. Hsrald, that you jumped at con clusions in working Arizona up Republican and showed that you were not posted on tn subject. Your other assertions are equall untrue, the Territory is not dead althoug hundreds of her citizens have been murderc, by the Apaches. She is making headway- regular Democratic headway-and is ever day receiving fresh blood into her bod corporate" With proper protection fror Government, Arizona would soon discoun any Northern Territory, and it will in tn cnd-even should she receive no more tha that now youchsafed her.

Recent Yokohama Literature.

We have received a work whose title we can
not transcribe. IL is "a japanese book of
travels, written for the instruction of the chill
dren OF the Mikado's subjects in the manners and
customs of foreign nations. Some of the illus
tratons are drawn with spirit and grace which
speak well for the artistic powers of the author
but his education in the English language can
hardly be regarded rs perfect, or, to say the
least, the English translation of his beautifully
written japanese text, giving an account of the
pictures, must be regarded as rather too literal.
For example,
70 hs dbp picture @ Duck men walk ont tq ocean and He
1T picture OF cleanse with water Of boy by the
woman whereupon small boy catching hold Of tip Of the
These can perhaps be understood, but some Of
the English legends certainly need very explicit
Illustrations to explain them thus:-
And now lie the fish put on horse back and going to
sell on but that is horse very small horseh
Only reference to the picture will show the
reader that in Japanese, very small horse"
means donkey.
The account given of the manners of the
American people is evidently curious and inte-
resting; but some statements in the book are
probably made from hearsay. For instance this
scene is strillingly pictured
The Of the north pole the hppopotomus walk out
men S perhaps S viii to be- dead men, % inc steamer anu snip
More likely they twill to be" live men, if
they can in spite of all the river horses of the
Polar Sea-
These remarks in English are but brief, and
perhaps come from an interpreter. We are
happy to assure the reader that we have not
discovered in the Japanese text, which forms
the body of the work, one single mlsstatement
or eXaggeration not word which conveys to
our minds any impression that the author desires
to deceive his readers. 1t is on this account
that we particularly recommend the book to all
lovers of truth, all students of the japanese
language, and all who have taste for Eastern
curiosities.
