THE SAN DOMINGO BUSINESS.

The New York Post (Republieau) asks the
President if he is not "alloWing his constitu-
tiOnal tenacity of PorpOse to lead him to
dangerous extreme in the San Domingo mat.
teri" and then refers to what il calls ga dis
pute about half an island" which threatens
to disrupt great party. 1t then proceeds to
give tie President some wholesome instruc,
ton as follows:
sit will not do to forget that there are
many sound reasons against the annexation of
halt an island-a fragmentary territory-in>
habited by a semi barbarous people, who do
not even speak our language, and lying at a
distance from our shores. Both to the pur,
chase of this half an island, aud to the man
Der in which the question of the purchase has
been brought forward, honorable, wise and
patriotic men may take exception. Mr.. Sum-
ner used, no doubt, some harsh language, but
he has the excuse that he has been attacked
in very bitter and INSCRIPTIONS way, by GER
tain Over>zealOus hangers on of the White
House, from whose Of6ciousness the President
occasionally suffers, and whom he would be
wise to get rid of.
The scheme to acquire, by the payment
of considerable sum of money, half of the
island of Hayti OF SantO Domingo has, never,
the President ought to remember, met with
public favor. The people took little interest
in it, holding that We ought not to spend
money for land at this time, aud that it was
not wise to increase the number of our semi
barbarOus voters, or to add still further to our
population members of a strange race.
I'VE believe it is true that the President
had not, in the inception of the San Domingo
project, the consent or favor of tho Cabinet;
nor could he get the consent OF the Senate,
though he lAbOred hard in many ways to Sc
cure it.
considering these circumstances, the APP
athy or opposition of the people, the rejection
OF the treaty in the Senate, the sound reasons
against the incorporation of a fragment of a
distant island, with semi.barbarOus popula-
ton, into our Union the fact that the project
could not find jealous support even in his own
Cabinet; the damage to the harmony of the
Republican party, from persistence in an un-
popular scheme would it not be wise for the
President to give it up2 Has not further
persistence the appearance of an attempt to
enforce As he aptly said, his will upon the
De,,Dla
