The st. Domingo Project : Let il Drop.

The President must be by this time
fully aware that his St. Domingo
projects is failure. that it is popu-
lar With some politicians only, aud
that to press it would make him more
unpopular with tho masses than he
has already become. His best plan
is to send the report Of the Commits.
1iOhcrS 10 Congress and thon dismiss
the subject frcm his mind, give it IN
entirely and let it ,cmain as it is
dead letter. Unless he is totally
blind hc must perceive that the popu.
lar verdict is ngaiust him thar

pie, who sec in it only a roEtical Job,
got up to benefit few, leaving the
country to foot tho little bill that

should be added to our domain. lie
cannot afford TT this crisis to add
TO his rapidly growing unpopalarity;
no should no longer ohdeayor to work
against the tide of public opinion,
but he ought by all means to strive
to regain some Of thu, good opinion he
has lost. This is his ,poliey2at pres
ent, and to carry it out his first act
should be to remove our squadron
from tho waters Of st. Domingo, turn
Bacz over to the tender mercics of
