SummaryResumen
The newspaper reported that after the expulsion of Boyer in 1843 and the accession of Gen. Riviere, the Dominicans seized an opportunity while the garrison was reduced to capture the remaining troops, proclaim a provisional independent government in early January 1844, and issue a revolutionary manifesto on January 16, 1844. It described the Dominican population as consisting of pure whites—who were the intellectually predominant and ruling class—and mixed races of various colors, all of whom were constitutionally declared equal citizens before the law. Additionally, the excerpt noted that Santana, the Dominican liberator and first President, resigned in 1848 and was succeeded by Jimenez, who was described as a traitor.
El periódico relató que tras el derrocamiento de Boyer en 1843 y la exaltación del general Rivière, los dominicanos aprovecharon la mengua de la guarnición para reducir a las tropas restantes, proclamar un gobierno provisional independiente a principios de enero de 1844 y promulgar una manifestación revolucionaria el 16 de enero de 1844. Describía a la población dominicana integrada por blancos puros —que constituían la clase intelectualmente rectora y gobernante— y razas mixtas de diversos matices, proclamados todos constitucionalmente ciudadanos iguales ante la ley. Añadía el extracto que Santana, libertador dominicano y primer presidente, renunció en 1848 y fue sucedido por Jimenes, a quien se tildaba de traidor.

provisional government, and substantially embodied
in their revolutionary manifesto of January 16th,
1844. The idea and the wish to dissolve the com
pulsory union with Hayti and re-assert their own
independence, had long been entertained by the
Dominicans, but during the iron rule of Boyer no op
portunity presented itself, until the expulsion of that
chief in 1843, and the accession of Gen. Riviere as
President of the llaytian Republic seemed to indi
cate the proper moment, when a large portion of the
Haytian garrison in the capital having been with
drawn to meet the requisition of some exigency in
the West, the Dominicans rose by preconcert on the
small garrison left, took them prisoners and sent
them home, and then proclaimed a provisional inde
pendent government. This was early in January
1844, and preliminary to the publication of the
manifesto above spoken of.
And here it may be well to speak briefly of the
Dominicans as a race. The population is composed
of the pure whites, and the mixed races of all shades
of color bearing about tho same relative proportion
as do the corresponding races in other Spanish Ame
