Rev. DIR. Vinton ON San DO.
1e mlNHOs

m10E0s
Rev. Francis Vinton, d. D., an
.sninant Clergyman of New York.
has written q lottcr 20 President
Grant, on his CDR. V.'s) return from
Nausau. N. P. whittier he has ta-
ken Mrs. Y. for her health, in the
course of which he says:
"In converting with HI. B. Ms
Governor Walker ut Nausau, he
said to me that he earnestly hoped
that the United States would secure
the Island Of San Domingo Tor the
two fold reason FIRST, that our ciyi
lization and culture would redeem
the society OF the Wost Indies and
second, that the soil and production
Of the. island, surprising those of any
other, not excepting Cuba, would
enrich our country beyond any
cost that its acquisition would de-.
mand.
"Governor Walker has been forty
ono years in the West Indies, and is
obout to return home to enjoy re-
tirement on his pension. His eulo-
gy Of San Domingo was unqualified.
"Another view OF the importance
OF securing the island was suggested
BY talk with On intelligent sea csp-
tain, with the chart before us with
soundings, &c. He pointed out that
supposing the ship canal to be made
through the Isthmus Of Panama, the
direct route from Asia to Europe
mast pass through the channels ON
either side of San Domingo, which
accordingly must become the great
ontrepot between these quarters Of
the world. ! beg you to examine
tho chart with this view, and it will
strike you forcibly that an island SO
rich, SO fertile, 80 badly ruled, and
carelcssly cultivated, will certainly
fall into the hands Of some people Of
tho Caucasian race, Of somO govern
ment wise enough to hold it. / wish
my old friend and school mate ct tho
Dane Law School, Cambridge, Mr..
Skinner, would cease to oppose the
measure set on foot by the President
and Congress-, and see the matter
with tho eyes which have revealed to
me the commercial Importance Of OBJ
tanning San Domingo. And, in this
hope and opinion, feel assured the
massos Of our fellow-citizens, who are
not blinded by party nor by ignor-
ance, coincide. l pray that Gods
blessing may prosper your plans in
this regard, for the benefit OF univer-
sal man, the good Of our dear coun-
try, and the happiness of the inhabi-
tants OF the island"
