Mr.. Senator allow your warm and It may
be generous friendship for the New
Dominion" to so far warp your Judgment
that their errors aud those Of their coun-
trymen become virtues, while our slightcr
failures are magnifed into importance
and so seyerly denounced.
But why log into this discussion mat
tiers that have not The slightest relevancy.
An argument is but weakened by such
extensive dilution.
Unfortunately for your first position Of
the value of authorities, which by impi-
cation you assume are contradictory to
the report Of the Commissioners, those
authorities are nearly unanimous in the
views they express Of the capabilities Of
the soil Of Sauto Domingo, of its general
salubrity, and are in perfect accord with
the opinions given by the Commissioners.
That our people are not homogeneous
il no fault Of the inhabitants of Santo
Domingo, nor would their introduction
TO our Union materially increase this
difficulty, but would probably tend to-
ward producing a more favorable and
satisfactory condition than now exists be-
tween the North and South. AT least the
colored population could fud refuge from
the "Ku klux" in a genial and more
healthy cline, and under the protection
Of flag they have learned to love.
Iou assume that our Country wants to
absorb Hayti with Santo Domingo. Who
that understands this question can for
moment entertain such an idea? Are you
not aware that the inhabitants OF Hayti
are the most intensly black sayages TO be
found outside of the Cannibal Island of
New Guinea? They entertain a perfect
hatred to the white and mixed races,
practice their heather Fetish worship
with It's Obi professors in tho mountains,
which make nearly all their territory;
are ruled by cut.throat with a military
despotism, which has not the fantest
claims to being a Republic.
Their bloody ferocity manifested to-
wards their former masters has not vet
been tanned. Look at the recent murder
Of President Salnaye by the traitor saget,
the present bloody ruler of the people.
Attempt TO travel through their country
aud the savage scowl Of men, women aad
children will meet you at every turn until
some more daring and practiced hand
will crafty his tiendsh animosity by TAX
ing your life. Our gallant Gen. Siegel
came near falling victim TO their rage
against the white race, and but for his
skiIful retreat IN the night, would have
fallen by the knife Of ths mouHtaiueers.
We want no such people TO add to our
"ku-klux" population aud no one has
proposed It's introduction to our Country
that un aware ....
The illibusgers of lIayti keep up con-
slant warfare upon the borders of Do
m!nica, aud with their paper money call
ed "gourds,' worth about one dollar for
four hundred, can keep an army in the
field at small expense.
IL Is this constant drain upon the
people Of Dominica to defend their coun-
try that produces the exhaustion of which
you complain. Let III, American flag be
raised and without a gun being fred or a
soldier being stationed in the country all
the troubles would at once cease. Saget
knows that the blow, ifstruck at all ,would
be at bis Capital aud not on the borders.
aud would recall bis maauder. at once and
thus give quiet 10 the Country. No doubt
sou state the truth when you say that
liayu wants santo Domingo The igno-
rant and savage one third wants TO COB
hle up the intelligent two thirds Of the
Island OF IiispauioIa. aud sink to the same
degradation with themselves the most
magnificent OF the island discoveries Of
Columbus,
When did you discover Mr., senator
that We do not need SANTANA Bavy Our
