SummaryResumen

The *Wilmington Journal* reviewed the history of Hispaniola, explaining the division between the western French colony of Haiti and the eastern Spanish colony of Santo Domingo. It recounted that Santo Domingo declared independence in 1821, was subjugated by Haiti, and subsequently expelled Haitian forces in 1844 to establish a republic under General Santana. The article noted ongoing tensions between the two governments and criticized the political instability of the region.

El *Wilmington Journal* repasó los anales de La Española, dilucidando la partición entre la antigua colonia francesa occidental de Haití y la demarcación hispana oriental de Santo Domingo. Rememoró que Santo Domingo proclamó su independencia en 1821, fue sojuzgado por Haití y expulsó finalmente a las tropas haitianas en 1844 para erigir una república acaudillada por el general Santana. El escrito destacaba las continuas tiranteces sostenidas entre ambos regímenes y afeaba la crónica inestabilidad política de la zona.

FiUibustier?. have since leen objects of terror to the

Spanish polonies, and nne of them survives even unto

the present day.

The squatted portion was formally reded to France

in 177.1. This was the western part of the island, and

is that now known as the Empire of Hayti, in contra

distinction from San Domingo or the Dominican

Republic which occupies the Eastern portion. The

French colony soon took the lead of the Spanish, which

rapidly declined: and when, immediately after the French

Revolution, the then existing government of that coun

try gave freedom to the slaves, its population and pro

ducts far exceeded those of the Spanish colony. The in

effectual efforts of the First Consul to reduce the slaves

igain to their previous condition, together with the tragi

cal results that ensued, are well-known.

The Spanish colony did not declare its independence

of the mother country until 1821, soon after which event

t was subjugated by and annexed to the negro Itepub-

ic of Hayti, or French Hayti. In 1844 it turned upon

the Haytians, drove them out and organized the present

Dominican Republic, with a constitution modelled after

that of Venezuela. The Haytians never acknowledged

the independence of the Dominicans, but have kept try-

in"' to re-subiii"ate them. Santana was the first Pres

ident of San Domingo, and appears to be their best gen

era! and ablest man.

Hayti is a negro empire. Han Domingo is certainly

entitled to no higher position than a mulatto republic,

without character or stability, one time threatened by
