The union Democrat., 1870-12-24

Notwithstanding the Senate at the last
session of Congress refused to ratify a treaty
for the annexation of San Domingo to the
United States, it is now evident that tie Job
will be put through the present session of
Congress for the benefit Of private interests.
Resolutions are now pending in both Houses
OF Congress, for this purpose. Senator Sum-
neF, has created quite sensation by the OPP
position he has manifested towards the pro-
ject, in debate, he has severely criticised the
acts of many of the high government officials,
who seem determined that the scheme
shall be successful. 1t is pet scheme of
the Presidents, he has shown a strong deter
mination, since the first proposition for this
acquisition, that it should be made, if itcould
be through his power. WY he should be
so enthusiastic for the accomplishment of an
object that appears to be entirely in the in
terest of spectators and lobbyists, is to be
accounted for in only one way, at least it
looks very doubtful if he is actuated solely by
a desire of beneftting the United States. 1t
is scheme that is BOXED upon with mis-
trust, the advantages to flow from its accom-
plishment is not readily seen or generally
understood. There are enough homogeneous
elements on the territory we now have, to
harmonic, without adding those of San Do
mingo. The Bulletin has the following in
regard to this extraordinary speculation
'There are so many private interests to be
served by pushing this scheme that its success
may be counted as certain, quite aside from
any considerations of the national Importance
Of the acquisition. The fact is the iobbers
and spectators, both in and out OF Congress.
foreclosed on San Domingo long before any
proposition was ever preached in Congress to
acquire the territory. When the ratification
Of the treaty failed last year, there went up
howl from all that class of mea who had
personal interest in the spoils. They had in
vested money in the scheme. Some of them
had visited San Domingo and had been filled
with wonder at the fine opportunity there dis
covered for picking up mines. forests, planta-
tons, harbors, and for speculatingi in the paper
money of the country, which was then little
above the price ofordnary paperrags. They Sc
cured plums for themselves aud for their
friends. The jobwas we'll putup. Indeed some
ofthe men having had experience in fixing up
the McGarrahan claim, were we'll calculated
to manipulate the San Domingo project.
Then the scheme could be pushed urder COW
err of promoting great national object. We
ought to have footEold in the West Indies.
These men had not only got foothold but
had their hands full besides. What shame
to let such an opportunity be lost We have
as good as acquired San Domingo already.
That is, these jobbers having made com
plete inventory of every thing that was of any
value, and having gobbled it up, are now in
earnest that the Government should foot the
bill, and look for reimbursement from any
source of natural wealth which has escaped
observation. The spectators get the mahog-
any, and the United States get few thou
sand mahogany colored natives, whc will
help to swell the next census tables.
