Bear Admiral referred to tbe strong forces

under his command, and he proceeded to re

ply:

"That Hayti bavins tbe knowledge of ber

feebleness aud of ber dignity bad taken note of

the communication made it· tbe name of ibe

Utited States, ana that, under present circum

stances, tbe Guvernmeut of Hayti would not

interlere iu tbe internal affairs of San Domio

ko, but the Guvernmeut cou.d not prevent the

sympathies of tbe Haytien people to be with

tbe Dominican patriots, fighting against an

nexation."

Who will not say that in this transaction tbe

Black Bepublic appears better than the Rear

Admiral?

TWO PROPOSITIONS ESTABLISHED.

Such is tbe testimony establishing beyond

question the two propositions, first, that the

usurper Baez was maintained in power by our

navy, to enable bitn 10 carry out tbe sale of his

country, and secondly, that further to assure

this sale, the neighbor republic of Hayti was

violently menaced, all this being in breach of

public law, international and constitutional.

The act of tbe President is a violation of in

ternational law and of tbe constitution, Mr.

Sumner argues at great leDgtb. He then pre

sents the following

SUMMARY.

International law has been violated in two

of its commanding rules, rne securing the

Equality of Nations, and the other providing

against belligerent iutervention, while a dis

tinctive lundamental principle of tbe constitu

tion, by which tbe President is deprived of a

kingly prerogative, is disregarded, and tbis

very kiugly prerogative is asserted by tne

President. This is the simplest statement.—
