EFFECTS OF THE NEWS FROM HAYTI.
https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn83035487/1846-01-16/ed-1/?sp=3
Your number of yesterday, which arrived here this morning, containing the important news from your correspondents in Hayti and St. Domingo, fell like a bomb shell among all the politicians, from the Capitol to the White House, and throughout every hotel, tavern, and oyster cellar in the city.— 'Have you seen the Herald this morning?' said one. 'No; what is in it?' said the person spoken to—'Why the d—l,' the first would reply—'go get a copy, and read for yourself.' But alas, for his comfort, there were no Heralds to be found after nine o'clock. Every place where one could be found was secured in order to read the news from St. Domingo, which filled one entire page of interesting and important matter. In both Houses of Congress might be seen groups of members talking together upon the subject, perfectly amazed, and wondering at Bennett's industry in getting such information even in advance of the government. Nothing that has appeared on the tapis during the last ten years was calculated to cause more excitement than these letters. They give more than the information thrown before the public in those letters, respecting that island in your columns. Oregon and Texas are completely cast in the shade by them, and it would not surprise me much, were I to see 10,000 men in their way to that island before one month. They want such a force there at this time, in order to rescue the island from negro domination, and restore it to the white race, to whom it properly belongs. I have heard a gentleman say, who had just returned from there, that five thousand able-bodied men, in addition to the Dominican forces, would conquer, in forty-eight hours the whole of that part occupied by the blacks. There are no existing treaties between the United States and Hayti, to prevent our citizens from going there in any character they please, and I know from what I have learned on the subject, that assistance of this sort would be accepted by the Dominican government, and ample provision made for those who would emigrate there for the purpose of sustaining the white government and people against the black savages, with whom they are contending for liberty and independence.
