FterY Proclamation OF tn o lnsurEonL Ohlef.
The following letter from the American Con
sui, at st. Thomas, inclosing what he presumes
to be a proclamation from the adherents of
Cabal, has been received by the State Depart
ment:-
CONSULATE OF THE UNITED STATES. ST.
THOMAS, w. l., Jan. 49, 1S7l.-Hon. Hamilton
Fish, Secretary of State Washington, U. S.
Sir:-I have the honor to enclose herewith a
proclamation, with translation hastily made,
purpoTting to be issued by 1000 patriots of the
republic of st. Domingo denunciatory of the
President of the United States and of the au-
nexation of st. Domingo to the United States.
1t is the most outrageous of the series of pro-
clamations issued by Cabral and his mercenary
ring of follow crs here in st. Thomas. 1t was
placed in my hands but few moments since
and as the New York steamer is already
in and sails this evening, l can give but
little information respecting its origin or
history. This much / know, however.
package of them was received this afternoon
per packet from Curacao, where they were pro-
badly printed, and where all Cabral's proclama-
tions heretofore have been printed by Messrs.
Crime & LacroiX. The first named is Cabrars
agent in this city, which is enough to say of
him, and LacroiX is exile from Porto Rico,
notorious intriguer and conspirater, and one
of the leading spirits of the Cabral ring of this
island. The proclamation was probably written
in st. Thomas, sent to Curacao and printed
and returned here. This last / conclude from
the fact that time has not elapsed for it to
have gone from Hayti or st. Domingo to Cura-
wa, DO pllhlSu, anu COill6 utTe IL is uaJ6Q tue
LIST of January, 1871. 1t requires eight or nine
days to go from Hayt to Curacoa and five or
six days from Curacao to this city. / might
have concluded it was printed here, for the I'M
print Is somewhat like the Tidenda; but Crime
was seen to get the package from the local Post
Office and the one sent was got from him ut
the moment he opened the package. BY late
adyices from Porto Plata everything is reported
quiet in st. Domingo. have the honor to be
sir, your most obedient servant,
THOMAS j. BRADLEY. COnsul.
THE REVOLUTIONARY PROCLAMATION.
To arms, Dominiciansi to armsl The sword of
treason once more hanging over our heads like the
sword OF Damocles, threatens to cut down the tree
OF our Independence by the roots. Ulysses Grant,
the gratuitous enemy Of our liberties, the accom-
pice OF Baez, that new Artabulus who only desires
power I'm order to stain himself with every kind Of
crime; Ulysses Grant, the worthy successor OF
Adams and Polk, the immortal trumpeter of the
Monroe doctrine, still insists traitorousy
becoming master OF our country, the native
land OF Pima Sanches, Perez aud Meea i'm
his legious of Yankees, those modern Dorians, who
VIII come to impose upon free people the sad fate
which In ancient times fell to the lot Of the Messe-
mans and Laconians. Lying wheedling, and bribery
have not yet been able to complete twothirds OF
favorable votes which are required In the Senate at
Washington for the realization of this wicked plan
and already the 1busters who are ripening it. In
connection with handful OF Dominican traitors,
congratulating themselves, through saared press,
WIN the nope that the conquerors OF Lee will not
fall TO Keep the rudest elements OF Dominican
society aoof from all interference with the ma erIal
progress OF the country And do you know, sons of
Auguste and Fabre what those terrible words sig
nifty? They contain a sentence of condemnation
and death against us all. They announce TO us the
SAD future that awaits US, If we suffer the flag OF the
cross TO be lowered and permit that OF the Stars and
Stripes to he raised In its stead. What matters TO
us that after annexation has been consummated
the natural wealth OF the country will not be ne
elected, or that the magnificent roads, bays, and
ports which cause IL to be 90 much coveted VIII
cease TO be deserted waters, IL we consider
ciuoed with fire and sword from the &c bene.
nts OF That material progress which Baez and
his cntthroats hold out TO us? What benefits are
the Greek Indians now deriving from the progress
OF Tennessee their native country driven as they
were from 1t by the bOodthirsty soldiers OF he in
eXorable jackson? What benefit are the Winnie
bagoes deriving from the advancement OF Indiana,
when tney were driven from their ancient homes by
by Their countrys now being an emporium where
the soil on which they were born was cruelty taken
from them by the inhnman Plckens? FL
nally, what do the Texans gain by the
Transformation of their country, when they can
only see 1t from distance? And what
reason have we TO expect to be fortunate than
the Creeks. the Winnebagoes, the Cherokees the
Texans? Let us not be deceived, Domin cans, like
those primitive Inhabitants OF North America. We
shall also be dispossessed by the Yankees OF our
lands, our rights aud our liberties and alas for the
conquered when we appeal TO arms to regain those
lost benefits! Treated, then, like rude elements,
who shall be driven with fire and sword from our
country, tormented by the remorse OF having
opened her gates to the foreigners But there is vet
time, sons OF Auguste ana Febre to avoid the evil
which threatensu Grant asks OF Congress the power
of sending commission to come and mai ARA nge-
ments with the Judas who govern us for the sale OF
our country for a mess Of pottage, Let US take up
arms before this comes TO pass and let us hur for
ever from the seat OF power the vulgar yrant who s
depressing and betraying us. TO arms, Domnicans,
TO arms! Public opinion is not with the traitors.
They are treading on the cOmbustibles which they
have piled up with their violence and cruelty, and
these cOmbustibles will convert the republic into
an immense funeral pile as soon az Cabral shall
nTe his first shot at Azua de COmpostea Let us
preciptae events Let US plunge at Oace into revo-
lution. TO arms, then, TO arms When Grants
baTgainers reach our shores, Instead OF finding a
nation of bunnons ready to forge themselves the
chains OF their slavery let them meet a nation OF
freemen resolved to perish Ia order to preserve the
sacred treasure OF their independence,
TO arms Dominicans, TO arms
THOUSAND PATRIOTS.
Obi, Jan. !, 1871.
