caused the discomfiture of Geflrard was his in

difference to the success of the Dominicans

against Spain in the brief struggle of 1864.

His readiness to enter into a Concordat with

Home was an evil omen for the supporters of

religious toleration and freedom. His system

of nuance, adopted without any due regard to

national obligations, was strougly opposed by

every one belonging to what may be called the

Liberal party. His approval of the disabilities

Imposed upon foreigners by his predecessor,

ana his desire to establish as nearly as might

he negro ascendancy, pure and simple, in op

position to the mixed population, and to natu

ralized foreigners his whole policy of late

years, indeed, was such as to alienate from

him the sympathy of liberal-minded men of

all classes and creeds. Those who fought so

Btoutly for Dominican independence three

years ago naturally distrusted him; and the

effectual undermining of his Government was,

in fact, his own particular work. He failed

to comprehend the responsibilities of his posi

tion. His conduct was guided by no well

defined constitutional rule, and he was thrown

aside for good.

It would be premature to augur for his suc

cessor a better and worthier career, or a more

enviable repute. But the newlyproclaimed

Constitution of Hayti certainly indicates an

aspiration among a considerable class, and

that the most intelligent in the republic, for

a stable Government, which, by its Constitu

tion, at least, shall appeal to the respect and

the confidence of liberal States generally.
