Mr. Morton then had read by the Secretary

a dispatcli to United States Minister Bassett,

from the Ilaytien Secretary of Foreign Affairs,

assuring him that Ilayti had no disposition or

desire to interfere with the free will of the

Dominicans. As a further reply to Mr. Sum

ner, he reminded the Senator, as evidence,

that the Administration had not propsed to

take any immediate action upon annexation;

that Commission had no authority to negotiate

a treaty, and that no one went with them who

could take a single tep in that direction. The

Ilaytien Government, in violation of the law

of nations, had given free passage across its

territory to Cabral, and had furnished him

with war vessels to attack Dominica, and the

United States had merely notified^Hayti that

while our negotiations were pending with Do

minica we would not allow him to make war

on the island. This the United States had an

undoubted right to do, because our Govern

ment had information of organizations on foot

in Ilayti to defeat annexation. No one need

tell him (Morton) that the Senator from Mas

sachusetts was a friend of liberty or the color

ed man when he so industriously spent his

time in an effort to put the Democratic party

in power, for to destroy the President is to de

stroy the great party of which he is the head

(applause), and we know the terrible effect

upon tlie liberties of this country if the Demo

cratic party comes into power.
