subject, that assistance of this sort would

be accepted by the Dominican Government

and ample provision made for those who

would emigrate there for thepurpose of sus

against the black savages, with whom they

are contending for liberty and independence.'

This is the same policy that has been pur

progress in regard to Oregon. They first

occupy the country on suffrage, and when

they find themselves strong enough to wrest

the possession from the lawful occupiers,

they declare a revolution, and annex them

selves to the United States.

It is further proposed that on the cession

conquest,or annexation—or whattyou will—

of Haiti, 'to restore to those French citizens

of the United States, or their descendants,

the whole of the property of which they

were plundered by the blacks at the period

of the outbreak;' and by this just reversion

of immense quantities of public domains to

our citizens, to make the Island of St. Do

mingo thoroughly American in the broadest

sense of the term.'

A wise, equitable, and practicable project,

ment of the Oregon question, by comprom

and not prevent the war which threatens to

arise out of the grasping ambition of the

United States; with her avowed desnigs on

Mexico. Cuba, and Haiti, the chances of a

collision with other nations seem great.
