SUMMERS SECOND SPEECH,

Tbo Massachusetts Senator iias fired his second torpedo at the Administration ot President Grant. In other words, |. :. Senator Sumner has made second powerful speech on the San Domingo question. and Il what he asserts is true, the President and his friends ought ,o hide their heads in shame. With all of Senator summers love for Ne grocs, he sees clearly that it would not be to the interest of those of San Domingo to be annexed to the United States, and his first great point is made by establishing this fact But, before proceeding further, We will state that san Domingo is one half of an Island m the Caribbean Sea, ptopled by Negroes and "lncn uf color who, long ago. established republican form of government, and have tried to sustain it, against the machinations of aspiring chiefs, one of whom-thc pres ent ruler Bacz -usurped power and, when it became plain that he could not sustain himself, tried to sell his country to the Uni ted States, in defiance of an article of tue Constitution of his country, which forhids the sale or transfer of the whole or any part of San Domingo.
 We have said that San Domingo was one half of an island. The other half is occu- pied by Hayticns-slso Negroes and men of color-who are friendly to their san Domin- go neighbors, and opposed to their transfer to the United States, or any other foreign country. Cabral, 6 Domingo chief, backed by the Haytiens, was preparing to expel the "tyrant and usurper" Baez, as Sumner calls him, when, To, and behold more than one half dozen powerful American war-ships ar rived and anchored in the harbors of ihe Island, for the purpose of oyerawing the people, and forcing them to vote for anneHa tion These facts, Sumner clearly proves by quoting the instructions given to the com manders of the ships; also, by letters iron our consul. He then boldly charges the Ad minis,ration with treason, in having taker warike steps to gobbe up this island, with out tue consent of Congress. He next es tablishes the fact that Baez and few of hi friends, arc about the only Domngans tha are in favor of annexation; that if our war ships were withdrawn, Baez and his follow CTS would soon be expelled. Then comes th'
 'bone" which Grant and Baez wish to pick - Si ,5OO,OOO for San Domingo, and Sl50, ,O0 rent, per annum, for Samana Bay A nic sum to be divided between the relatives anC friends of Baez and Grant, for which VI
 would get lot of discontented negroes, an,
 another public debt. But, then, we woul,
 have a foreign possession" and, of course a good excuse for a big standing army an active navy.
 While Sumner was delivering hi, speech
 the galleries were jammed with people, who
 no doubt, backed up his opinions, as do
 majority of the Radical press of the country
 Here, then, is the great Republican part rent in twain. Ina, party-whose member united upon the Negro, swore by the Negro f rode into power upon the back of the Negr,
 dcluged the country with blood for the ber
 eft of the Negro and changed Constitutio and laws taa, the Negro might become ma and brother, at last, stranded and wrccke,
 upon question of bringing more Negro,
 into the Union Was ever Fate so just 2 Tn 2 party that has lived by the Negro is now 7 its death throes over the same sooty ind [ vidual.
