Passage summaryResumen del pasaje
The newspaper reported that a project involving the Dominican Republic was described as purely commercial, lacking any reference to annexation or the extension of slavery. The correspondent stated that their political objective in communicating the proposals was solely to help protect the Dominicans from attacks by their black neighbors, the Haytiens. Additionally, the excerpt referenced efforts by English, French, and American consuls to dissuade the black Emperor (Soulouque) from invading Dominican territory in order to restore peace to the island.
El periódico comunicó que el proyecto formulado en torno a la República Dominicana fue conceptuado como de índole estrictamente mercantil, desprovisto de miras anexionistas o de propagación de la esclavitud. El informante aseveraba que el móvil diplomático de elevar tales propuestas radicaba con exclusividad en coadyuvar al resguardo de los dominicanos ante las agresiones de sus convecinos haitianos. Se rememoraban por añadidura los empeños diplomáticos de los representantes inglés, francés y norteamericano orientados a apartar al emperador de color (Soulouque) de irrumpir en predios dominicanos para afianzar la pacificación de la isla.

purely commercial one, having no reference to
annexation or the extension of slavery. For my
own part, however, I wish not to conceal that,
in becoming the medium of communication for
these proposals, I had a political, ns well ns a
money making object. That object was, not
the exfention of slavery, or the annexation of
slnve territory, hut solely to aid in protecting
the Dominicans from the attacks of their black
neighbors, the Maytiens. and from a repetition
of the scenes of crime and horror which marked
the victory of the blacks over the French col-1
onists, and would again surely follow a success- 1

the Island. This svmnathv. uhii'ti I nm nrnnJ
