GRANT hi DOMINICA.
The President the Easy Tool Of Another
Ring and a Worse one than that
Of Gould and Fisk.
From the Baltlmore Gazette.l

From the Baltimore Gazette.l
President Grant seems bent on annex
ing San Domingo at all hazards. On this
one subject his remarkable reticence has
forsaken him. He has not ever flashes of
silence. He grows g%arrulous over it. He
bOres Senators with it. He presses the
ratification of the treaty at all times and
all seasons. He makes il a condition of
official favOrs. He sends his emissaries
to the Capitol to lobby and electioneer.
Once he wanted Cuba, but the way does
not seem clear to him to get that. San
Domingo is different. There BaeZ holds
doubtful rule, and he is eager to sell him
self and the Island together. The people
have bean dragOoned or deceived into
voting for annexation, and nothing now
remains for us to do but to open our
purse-strings and our arms, and receive
the mulatto Republic as an outlying ter
ritory of the United States. Cabral, the
revolutionary chief now in arms against
Baez, does indeed object to this summary
process of absorption, and b population
Of Dominica are cOwed, but indignant.
The HaytIen negroes 60 occupy the
other half of the island would also vehe-
mently protest If they dared, and by
making common cause With the insurgent
Dominicans may vet give us serious
trouble If the Senate, yielding to the
appeals of the President and the pressure
of the lobby, should consent to sanction
the treaty which is now before it for rati-
icatiOn. But there are ugly stories afloat.
The public debt-of San Domingo, which,
it has been asserted, did not exceed three
million and a half OF dollars, is now
proven by incontestible official docu-
ments to be nearly eleven millions of
dollars. The statement made by Mr.. Gu
riel, the Dominican Secretary OF the
Treasury, TO President Baez, thus sums

OREGON

Our dispatches from Oregon, re-
ceived during the last two days, leave
the result of the elections in that far
of State no longer in doubt. The
Democrats Of the Oregon mountains
echo back the same notes of triumph
with which Connecticut and New
York have recently g~laddened the
hearts Of an oppressed people. The
Radical papers and street politicians
IRE devOting much Of their time to
prove that the result Of these elections
is Of no significance. They do this
with faces of so much halEconcealed
agony that we are reminded Of the lu-
dicrOus attempts Of Mr.. ToOts to con-
vince Dombey that the tearing
Of his new trowsers was "no eOnse-
quence." They protest with an ener-
getic i~nsincerity which shows that
they know the doom that awaits them.
There never was a contest more
squarely fought upon the great ma
tional issues before the country than
was that in Connecticut, New York
and Oregon. The philosophy Of the
immortal ToOts cannot serve to break
the force of these elections. With all
of Grants military popularity, with
the whole power Of the Federal Gov
eminent against them, the Democracy
have won unquestioned triumphs. A
party that can make such a contest,
under such membranes, must have
the elements Of enduring strength.
The tirmness and pe~rsistency with
which the Northern Democracy con-
test every inch Of ground with the
powerful Radical party, must COM
mand the respect Of all unprecedented
observers. 1t shows that there is a
power in the Northern Democratic
organization which does not succumb
TO temporary defeat. A party, op-
pressed by the weight of Gen. Grants
great personal influence, that can con-
vert defeat into victory cannot be
abandoned by its friends as a useless
agent for good work. Indeed,
when we look TO the long career
OF this great old party, we must
see that it possesses wonderful and
permanent vitality. Like all other

THE Columbus hader comes to us
dressed in habiliments of woe because
of the horrible death of James Blair,
as recited in our column a few days
ago. He was perhaps nor univer-
sally known and beloved than any
citizen of Columbus. There was never
an appeal made in vain to Jim
Blair's generosity and his faults were
wholly venial. The Iader never scat
tered roses over the grave Of a worth
Ter gentleman or truer friend than Jim
BIAir.

FROM recent indications we are
satisfied that a convention will be
held at Nashville on the 18th of July
TO nominate candidates for Supreme
Court Judges. Public meetings have
already been held in many counties
and delegates selected. Our special
dispatches announce that the Nash
vile Union, heretofore silent, has
come out for a convention, and il ex-
ercises a large influence in Mid
die Tennessee. 1t is evident a conven-
ton will be held, and whether large
or a small convention we feel assured
its nominees will be elected. We
therefore urge upon the people of
every county in West Tennessee to.
hold primary meetings at once and
elect delegates. The Convention is
held on the 18th of July, and no time
can be lost in calling county meetings
and electing delegates. We know
that there are many sverse to carry
ing party politics into the election for
Judicial officers. But a Convention
has been called-one will be held
the nominees will be elected, and
in order to secure a general
attendance, and to ascertain the voice
of West Tennessee, we hope all the
counties west of the Tennessee river
will send delegates to Nashville. The
more prominent members of the bar
belong to the Democratic party, and a
Democratic, though not a pOliti-
cal, ticket, can be presented,
which will command universal conf
dence. 1t is useless to oppose a con-
vention; for, if one should not be held
at Nashville, the Democracy OF West
! Tennessee will hold a convention at
Humboldt, for the purpOse OfnOminat-
ing two candidates for this division of
the State on which the party can and
will unite. AS usual the Radicals
are slyIy and sneakingly organizing
for the purpose of concentrating on a
ticket, and through the instrument
tality of their Loyal Leagues, they
can unite and concentrate their forces
only a few days before the election.
The common pressure of ap%ortentious
peril should concentrate the solicit
tude of every Democrat in Tennessee.
To thwart this last dying struggle of
Radicalism, to resist the effort 60 place
upon the Supreme Court bench Of
Tennessee, men who favored diSfran-
chisement and have argued the con-
stitutiOnality of all the laws with
which Radical tyranny have oppressed
the people, is a duty we owe to our
selves, to humanity and to God. We
urge the Democracy of West Tennes-
see-Of every cOunty-to action. A
Convention will certainly be held,
either at Nashville or Humboldt.

of forming connections with the roads

The Washington county road, now

State; a large force is now at work on
such extension. a
The Texas and New Orleans road will
soon be repaired, as a large force is at

system of railroads in Texas with that of
Louisiana, and others of the Gulf States.

speedy construction westward, across the

to San Antonio, and the prospects for its

very far from Houston, and will run up

ductive country.
The Waco Tap Railroad company have
applied to the Legislature for the right to
extend the line of their road from Bre-
mond, a town on the Texas Central Rail-

thence up the general ourse of the river
about $50 miles, to the vast copper and
coal mines on the head waters Ofsaid riv-

THE Pittsburg Post states that
changes in that quarter from the
Radical to the Democratic ranks are
constant and frequent. 1t also quotes
the Wooster (Ohio) Democrat as fol-
lows:
Seventeen men who have hitherto uni
formly acted with the Radical party,
came without any solicitation to the
Democratic primary election in this place,
and pledged themselves to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket this fall. We met one of
them on the street afterward, and he said
to US: az am sixty years of age, and have
never voted a Democratic ticket in my
life, but, if God spares me until fall, L
will vote it; the niger business is nor
than l can stand.

sometimes into errors, and meets great
m~isiortunes. But its general princi-
pies and purposes being right, its de-
partures from the approved course are
generally corrected, and its fortunes
are restored. 1t is highly probable
that this election is a sign of what is
going on elsewhere in the North.
