The grave stipuintions that Dominica shall net be

subject to this or that hazard or loss by reason of

war or minor hostilities, might force a grin on the

countensnes of an dren statue. Though three

times as long as it need be, all the meaning there

ie in this document cuures to the benefit of the

more powerful and smarter of the contracting

parties, except #0 much of Art, III as guaran-

tees to citizens of Dominica (nearly all of them

imperfecily bleached uicgers¥) the legal (not

political) rights of citizens: but this elsuse the

Dowiniean Legielature deems too vagne and

equivocal, to secure the end it meditates, and

proposes en amendment necordiog to mulattoes

expresely the rights thus assured in goaeral

terns, This our Pleniposentisries will not agree

to, aud so there isa ‘‘hitch” af present, which

Santana is urged to remove by a coup d'état,

like Louis Napoleon's; but te has not yet

screwed his courage up to that point. Wedoubt

that he ever will.

The beauty of this Treaty is strikingly exhib-

ited in Art. XIX, respecting Consuls, which in

eflect forbids Dominica to accredit ber coflee-col-

ored citizens as Conenls in any of the Slave States’

With this sweeping reservation, we should say

the wiser course would be to say plumply that

the United States may accredit as many and such

Consuls a they choose to Dominica, but thet Do-

minica shall not send her niggers” here as

Consule, especially to tue Slave States. Decided-

ly, this is a great Treaty, aud we urge all who

are interested in seeing how white folks deal
