SummaryResumen
The newspaper criticizes United States policy toward Hayti, attributing it to slavery-dominated diplomacy and the failure to recognize Hayti's independence. It reports that, following domestic interference and joint bullying with foreign governments, the French have taken possession of Samana as a naval station under the pretext of intervening for Dominica. The publication warns that this acquisition will allow France to monitor American commerce and facilitate hostile actions against the United States in the event of war.
El periódico desaprueba la directriz diplomática de Estados Unidos hacia Haití, imputándola a la servidumbre de intereses proesclavistas y al desconocimiento de su independencia. Afirma que, tras presiones conjuntas con gabinetes europeos e injerencias intestinas, los franceses tomaron posesión de Samaná a guisa de apostadero naval con la excusa de proteger a la República Dominicana. La publicación previene que dicho enclave consentirá a Francia vigilar las rutas mercantiles norteamericanas y propiciar acometidas bélicas contra Estados Unidos en coyunturas de guerra.

But wc have not yet reached the final result
of our indefensible conduct towards Hayti. As
wo have already said, had we recognised her
independence, and exchanged with her the
usual international courtesies, we should have
enjoyed the largest portion of her valuable
trade, and obtained an influence over her,
borieficial to her internal interests, and protective
against foreign aggression. In obedience
to a blind and bigoted sectional Interest, we
have pursued an opposite policy, and now retribution
is about to overtake us We have interfered
impertinently in her domestic affairs*
we have united with foreign Governments in
bullying her?and now, one of these Governments,
if the latest intelligence be correct, has
taken possession of a most important station
jn the island, on pretence of making its intervention
for Dominica more effective, but in
reality with a view to secure a most important
javal station, close upon our shores. Samana

station. And its poaitien is such, that it
will enable Franco to keep an eye upon our
rommerce, and, in the event of war, facilitate
Hostile movements against our shores. And
this is the result of negro-phobia?of Slavery
domination?of pro-slavory diplomacy?
of the base polioy which we have pursued to
