sent to reenslave the blacks, and were ignominiously

defeated in the attempt,) the Eastern part was again

put under the power of Spain, and was thus held till

In 1822, the Eastern part was united to Hayti, then

governed by President Boyer. For twenty-two years

the whole island acknowledged his authority. On his

overthrow, in 1844, the Dominicans seceded,” and

no reconstruction with either Spain or Hayti has

as yet been effected.

Since the independence of the Dominican Republic,

two parties have divided and alternately governed it,

whose representative men are Santanr^md Baez, as

the words reunion and independence indicate their

respective policies.

Unlike Caesar, Santana would rather be a little man

in a great country, than a great man in a little coun

Dominican Republic under the Spanish crown; and,

once, and were satisfied with that experience, and

Venezuela did not want to be bitten at all. His last

desperate effort was to induce a white emigration

from the United States; but, although seconded by

our Consuls there, (whose longer continuance in office

will be disgraceful to our Republican Administration,)

he signally failed to interest either our capitalists or

laborers in the project.
