English language, while having acquired

the Spanish language, which is generally

spoken in Santo Domingo. Lieut. Rock

well draws the following picture of the

condition of the people:

These sturdy elements of character have not

failed to receive recognition even there. The

present government estimates the whole colony

very highly, and all the offices, from the gov

ernor down, are held by the descendants of the

American emigrants. There is absolute peace

and quietness in the district. The country is

vigilantly patrolled, the people seem inno.

•ently happy and their hospitality is boundless.

There is ample room for many thousands. The

people are anxious to receive and welcome and

help all who will come. The country is healthy,

and its natural resources are boundless.

In conclusion he says:

Here is one emigration and colonization of

colored people which has been a success. There

is ample room for more; kind, willing hands

and hearts to receive them, and a smiling para

dise ready lor occupancy. The political and

social regeneration of the island of Santo Do

mingo is a possibility for the coloied race of the

United States.

If the Dominican Republic would offer

such inducements to actual settlers as the

United States offer to foreigners, we dare

say that a very large number of Afro-Amer

icans would take advantage of them, to

their own and the betterment of the Domin

ican government. A hundred thousand

could go of the most desirable of the peo

ple, and would go if offered fair induce

ments. We trust the matter will be looked
