SummaryResumen
The *New-York daily tribune* reported that Baez has been overthrown and Santana has taken power in the Republic of Dominica. While Southern journals view this as a triumph of the white over the black race and urge the U.S. government to formally recognize the Dominican Republic, the newspaper supports recognition regardless of racial distinctions. However, the publication questions whether the U.S. government and its Washington court circle would tolerate diplomats or future presidents of darker complexions in a country where the vast majority of the population is of African lineage.
El *New-York daily tribune* notificó que Báez fue derribado y Santana asumió el timón de la República Dominicana. Si bien los periódicos sudistas conciben esta mutación como un triunfo de la raza blanca sobre la de color e instan a Washington a convalidar a la república, la publicación respalda el reconocimiento con prescindencia de castas. Con todo, la hoja se pregunta si el gabinete estadounidense y las tertulias de Washington consentirían a diplomáticos o futuros mandatarios de tez morena oriundos de una nación cuya gran mayoría desciende de linaje africano.

the Island of Hayti which is independent of Sou-
louque’s pury Empire, and calls itself the Republic
of Dominica or something of the sort. Baez is put
down and kicked cut, and Santana is up for the
time being. The Southern journsls style this a tri-
umpth of the White over the Black race, and call
on our Government to recognize aud establish diplo-
matic relations with the new rule. We believe
they are mistaken in their facts—that though San-
tana is only a mulatto while Baez is a negro, the
party of the former is not essentially whiter than
that of the latter. Bat no matter: we sacond the
motion for a formal recognition of the Dominican
Republic.
But suppose it done, and our new ally should
tend us an Envoy of the eolor of logwood or a little
darker, what then’ Can we stipulate against this
by treaty If not, how guard against it’ And sup-
pose Santana should not rule forever, but be suc-
ceeded by a President of darker hue—which is at
least possible in a country where nine-tenths of the
pecple are wholly er partly of African lineage—
what then 7 How deep a shade of darkness will the
Court circle at Washington tolerate If it stomach
a quadroon at the outset, will iis gorge rise should
be at any time be succeeded by a mulatto? Let us

votion to the orthodox color, let us be sure not to
stultify ourseives in this Domizica business.
