SummaryResumen

The *New-York Daily Tribune* reported on Dominican resistance to Haitian control, noting that memories of severe mistreatment and violence during past Haitian rule deterred locals from favoring Haitian dominance. Despite rumors circulated that Americans intended to enslave the population, both white and mixed-race residents remained fearful of a Haitian return. The correspondent urged the United States to counter British diplomatic influence by officially recognizing the Dominican Republic.

El *New-York Daily Tribune* dio cuenta de la irreductible resistencia dominicana a la hegemonía haitiana, observando que la memoria de atropellos y rigores padecidos durante el régimen anterior apartaba a los naturales de cualquier simpatía hacia el dominio haitiano. Pese a las patrañas propaladas de que los norteamericanos proyectaban esclavizar a la población, tanto los moradores blancos como los de color temían sobremanera la restauración del yugo haitiano. El corresponsal encarecía a Estados Unidos a contrarrestar la injerencia diplomática británica mediante el reconocimiento oficial de la República Dominicana.
