Wabiiinoton, April 0. Tho follow liip; Is tho President's Mossago transmit ting tho report of tho San Domingo Commissioners: To Iho Senalo nml Ilonso of Repre sentatives: I havo tho honor to submit to tho two Houses or Congress, tho re port of Iho Commissioners appointed In purstianco of the Joint resolution approved Jan. 12, 1871. It will ho ob served that this report moro than sus tains all that I havo hcrotoforo said In regard to the productiveness nnd health fulness of IhoItepubllcofSun Domingo, of.tho unanimity of tho peoplo for an nexation to tho United States, nnd of their pcacenblo character. It U duo to tho publle as It certainly Is to myself, that I should hero glvo all tho circum stances which first led to tho negotia tion of it treaty for tho annexation of tho Republic of San Doinlimo lo tho United Slates. When I accopted the arduous nnd re sponsible position which I now hold, I did not dream of Instituting nny steps for tho acquisition of Insular possess ions. I believed, howover, that our In stitutions were broad enough to extend over tho entlroconllnent ns rapidly ns other peoples might deslro to bring themselves under our protection. I bo llovcd further that wo should not permit independent governments within tho limits of North America to pasj from a condition of Independence lo ono of ownership or protection under an Kuro pean power. Soon after my Inaugura tion as President, I was waltcdupon by an agent of President llaez with a pro position to annex tho Republic of San Domingo to tho United States. This gentleman represented tho capacity of tho Island, tho dcslro of tho people and their character nnd habits, nbotit ns they have been described by tho Com-mi.-sioucr.i, whoso report accompanies this message. Ho stated, further, that, being weak in numbers nnd poor in purse, they wero not capablo of devel oping their great rccourccs; that tho peoplo had no incentive to industry, on account of tho lack of protection for their accumulations, and that If not ac cepted by tho United States, with tho institutions which they loved abovo thoso of any other nation, thoy woultl be compelled to seek protection olsc where. To theso btatements I mado no reply, and gave no indication of what I thought of tho proposition. In tho course of llmo I was waited upon by a second gentleman from Sun Domingo, who mado tho samo representations, nnd who was received In llko manner. In view of the facts which had been laitl beforo mo and witlt an earnest do; slro to maintain tho "Monrou doctrine," I believo I would bo derelict In my duty If I did not takomeasuros toascer tain tho exact wish of tho Government nnd inhabitants of tho Republic of San Domingo in regard to annexation, and commuiilcato tho Information to tho peoplo of tho United States. Under tho attending circumstances, I felt that if I turned n deaf car to this appeal I might in the futtiro bo Justly charged with a flagrant neglect of tho public Interests ami nn utter disregard of tho wclf.iro of a uown-trodden race, praying for tho blcsilngs of n freo and strong govern ment, and for protection In tho enjoy ment oftlm fruits of their own Industry. Thoso opponents ot nntioxatlon who have heretofore professed to bo pro emi nently the friends of the rights of man I believed would bo my most violent ns'nllants if I neglected so clear a duty. Accordingly, after having appointed a Commissioner to visit tho Island, who declined on account of sickness, I selec ted a second gentleman, In whosa capac ity, judgement, amt integrity I had unbounded confidence. Ho visited San Domingo, not totecuro or hasten annex ntlim, but uuprijudlced and unbiased, to learn all tho facts about tho Govern ment, tho people, nnd tho resources of that Republic. Ho went certainly its well prepared to make an unfavorable report ns n favornblo one, If tho facts warranted it. Ills report fully corrobo rated thu views of tho previous com HiUsioners, and, upon Its receipt, I felt that a sense of duty nnd a duo regard for our great national interests required mo to negotiate a tieaty for tho acqui sition of thu Republic of Sail Domingo. As soon as it beeamo publicly known that such a treaty had been negotiated, the attention of tho country was occu pied with allegations calculated to pre judice tho merits of the case, and with aspersions upon thoao whoso duty had connected them with It. Amidst tho public excitement thus created, tho treaty failed to receis'o the requlsito two-thirds voto of tho Senato ami was rejected, but whether the action of that body was based wholly upon tho merits of tho treaty, or might not have been lu somo degrco iullucuccd by such un founded allegations could not bo known by tho people, becauso tho debates ot tho Senate In secret session nro not pub lished. Under theso circumstances I deemed it duo to the ofllco which I hold, and duo to tho character of tho agents who had been charged with tho Investigations, that such proceedings would enable tho pcojilo to know tho truth. A commission was therefore constituted under tho authority of Con grcss, consisting of gentlemen selected with special reference to their high character and capacity for the laborious work entrusted to them, who wero In structed to visit tho spot and report up on tho facts, Other eminent citizens wero requested to accompany tho com mission, In order that tho people might havo tho benefit of their vlows, Stu dents of selcnco nnd correspondents of tho press, without regard to political opinions, wero Invited to Join tho expe dition. Their numbers wero limited only by tho capacity of tho vessel. Tho inero rejection by thoSenntoof n treaty negotiated by tho President only indicates n dlU'erenco of opinion be tween two co-ordlnnto departments ot tho Government without touching tho clinracter or wounding tho pride of el thor. lint when such rejection takes placo simultaneously with charges oponly mado of corruption on tho part FRIDAY, APHIL 14,1871. of tho President, or thoio employed by him, tho case Is different. Indeed In such caso tho honor of tho nation do- mnnds Investigation. This has been ac complished by tho report of tho Com missioners herewith transmitted, nnd which fully indicates tho purity of mo tlvo nnd action of thoso who represent ed tho United Slates In tho negotia tion. And now my task is finished, nnd with It ends nil personal sollcltudo un- on tho subject. My duty being dono, yours begins, nnd I gladly hand over tho wholo matter of tho Judgment ol tho American peoplo and of their rep resentatives In Congress nssombled. Tho facts will now bo spread beforo tho coun try, and a decision rendered by that tribunal whoso convictions so seldom err, and against whoso will I have no policy to enforce My opinion remain, unchanged. Indeed, It Is confirmed by tho report that Ibo Interests of our country-fuid of San Domingo nllko In vito the annexation of that Republic. Jti view of tho differenco of opinion upon this subject, I suggest that no ac tion bo taken nt tho present session be yond tho printing nnd general dissemi nation of tho report. Ueforo tho next session of Congress tho people will havo considered tho subject and formed an Intelligent opinion concerning It, to which opinion, deliberately mado up, It will bo Iho duty of every department of tho Government to glvo heed, and no one will moro chcorfully conform to It than myself. It Is not only tho theo ry of our Constitution that tho will of tho people, constitutionally expressed, Is Iho supremo law, but I havo over bo lloved that all men nro wiser than nny ono man, and If tho people, upon a full presentation of tho facts, shall dccldo that tho annexation of this Republic Is not desirable, every department of tho Government ought lo acquiesce in that decision. In again submitting to Con gress a subject upon which public senti ment has been divided, and which lias been mado tho occasion of numerous debates In Congress, ns well ns unjust aspersions elsewhere, I may, I trust, bo inuulgcd in a singlo remark. No man can hopo to perform duties so delicato nnd responsible as pertain to tho Presi dential ofllco without sometimes Incur ring the hospitality of thoso who deem their opinions and wlshei treated with Insufficient consideration, and ho who undertakes to conduct the affairs of a great Government ns n faithful public servant, if sustained by tho npproval of his conscience, may rely with confi dence upon the ctndor and intelligence of a frco peoplo, whoso best Interests ho has striven to observe, nnd can bear with patlenco tho censuro of disappoint ed men, U. S. Quant. Kxccutlvo Mansion, April 5, 1871. UKl-OltT OF THE HAN DOMINQO COM LKI-Olt' TV 1 1 MISSION, report of tho Committeo of In quiiy into tho Condition of tho Domin ican Republic, was submitted to tho Prcoidont to-day, nnd by blm transmit ted to Congress. It opens with the statement that tho Commissioners traversed tho Republic from end to end, and in sover.il direc tions, cither by ther agents or In per son, sjient several weeks at tho capital in conference with tho President and chief Government officers, examining ollleial records, and as at all other pla ces, in constant Intercourse with the peoplo and taking testimony of witness es. Thoy also visited tho vicinity of tho western border, wliero tho disturb ances wero reported, nnd remained u week nt tho capital of Hayti, whero supplementary Investigations were made. Tho report gives a full account of tho form of Government and refers to tho revolutions proceeding thu administra tion of llaez. Tho Commissioners found tho Baez Government In full and peaceable possession of all parts of tho Republic, except on tho Haytlen bord- cr, which Is disturbed by Insurrectiona ry leaders, aided by Hayticu intrig uers. Whatever defects thcro might havo been In tho original title of llaez lo tho olllce, it win confirmed by the National Convention anil ratified by the people. Tho Insurrections which still exist aro headed by Cnbra! and Louperoii. Tho former of theso Is universally con ceded to bo tho moro Important, but neither lias u distinct Hag or it regular organized tinny ; neither Is tho expo nent of a clearly defined policy. 'lo tho surprise of tho Commission, almost all parts of tho country, oven the remotest, thu peoplo wero found to bo familiar with tho question of annexa tion to tho United States, and to havo discussed it among themselves with in telligence All classes In all parts of the Republic wero consulted, and ev erywhere thero was it general agree ment In tho declaration thatlhelrpeaco and prosperity Is In annexation to nnd becoming part of the peoplo of tho Uni ted States. This Is partially duo to the prosenco In various parts of tho coun try of small colonies of colored peoplo, formerly from tho United States. Tho osceedlngly small rroror,Ion who opposed annexation could only bo found by diligent Ecarch. Thoy nro chiefly traders or agents of foreign houses, whoao business would sutTer by tho change. Tho rumors that thero aro parties in various sections of tho coun try ready to resort to desperate mea sures against annexation, seem to bo disproved by tho fact that tho Commis sioners wero frco from tho shadow of molestation during their sojourn, al though they had nt no tlmo anything lu the shapo of a guard. Tho condition of tho people, the physical, mental and moral condition of tho Inhabitants of San Domingo was found to bo much more advanced than had been anticipa ted. The population Is generally of mixed blood. Thu great majority, especially along thoconst, nro neither puro black nor pure whlto; thoy nro mixed In ov cry concelvnblo degree. In somo pnrtH of tho Interior considerable numbers of tho whlto raco aro lo bo found, and gen erally In tho mired raco tho whlto blood predominates. Tho cultivated nnd cdueutcd eompuro well with tho UOL. samo classes In other countries, nnd tho uneducated appear equal to tho samo class In nny country with which wo nro ncqunlntcd. They seem to bo practical ly dcstltuto of prejudlco of class, raco or color. Thojudlclal officers stated Hint high crimes, such ns murder, arson, burglary and tho llko nro nearly unknown nmong them. They nro all Roman Catholics except tho American emigrants Bent out In 1821 and succeeding years, who, with their descendants, now form n number of settlements, nnd amount to 60veral thousand persons. Theso nro mostly Methodists nnd Baptists. They livo nmong tho Catholics in peaco nnd harmony. No intolerance or religious persecution can bo discovered among them. Tho peoplo nto generally poor, living In cheap nntl humblo dwellings In tho country almost every family possesses nil the land they dcslro to cul tivate. Tho reason they unanimously assign for not cultivating moro is that amid constantly recurring revolutions, It Is very uncertain who may reap tho crop. Resides, thcro U no market here for surplus produce. Tho Commissioners, after n careful comparison of data, estimated that tho actual population of tho Island does not exceed 100,000. The resourcos or tho country aro vast and various, and producls may bo ill creased with scarcely nny other limit than tho labor expended upon them. Thero Is evldcnco of mineral wealth in various parts of tho Island. Tho geolo gists of tho expedition report tho exis tence of tho ores of iron, of copper nnd of gold, tho deposlles of lignite, rock salt and petroleum. Iron oro Is ubund ant, easy of access, and will, donbtlcss In tlmo bo mado nvallablo for tho cheap production of pig Iron. Tho copper ores aro of it fair degree of richness, nnd tho beds have been opened to n slight extent. Tho reported coal of Vanova penin sula nud In tho neighborhood of Pucrta Plata, was examined, and found to bo qulto of Uttlo value us :i fuel, com pared with Pennsylvania or English coal. The gold region is extenslvo.and though worked anciently, is nt present but little known, and Invites patient oxplorntlon nnd practical miners. Tho sail deposits In tho mountains near Neyba aro believed lo bo extensive and valuable. Tho salt can bo quarried out In largo transparent blocks, and a chemical analysis mado for tho Com mission shows It to bo of sulllclcnt pu rity for commercial purposes. Summarily nnd practically viowed for ugrlculturnl purposes thcro aro live classes of lands In Santo Domlugo, viz: First. Tho mountain slopes and val leys j theso aro uniformly rich and pro ductlve, except In limited regions whero rain Is deficient, or on tho south em slopes of coast ratigo north east of Monto CrMIe. Second. Tho extensivo prairie region of tho lauds lying cast nud norlh of Santo Domingo City, south of Iho Cibao range. ThU Is all admirable pasture hind, a largo portion of it is capablo of prolltablo cultivation. It is intersected by wooded valleys and groves contain ing much excellent timber. Third. Thorollliia plain of tho Ve ga, which is generally wooded, and Is tho finest body of agricultural land on tho Island. Fourth. Tho dry lands aro liko n portion of tho plain of Azua and tho valley of tho Taquie, whero rain is partly or wholly wanting from topo graphical causes. These lands can bo mado fertile by artificial irrigation. Fifth. Tho red clay lands aro mostly along tho coast and underlaid by carat- lino limestone. Theso aro usually cov ered with timber. Tho Commissioners hero dovoto coid sidcrablo spaco to setting forth the richness of thu soil, an d tho varieties of tropical producls sugar cane, coffee, cocoa, cotton, ginger, indigo, .Cc. On tho mountains many of tho vegetables and ft ui (s of tho temperate regions can bo cultivated. Cattle and poultry aro numerous. Tho forests about! In a variety of tim ber valuable for cabinet purposes and for house and ship building. Tho ma hogany, satin wood, Dominican oak, and a hard pilch plnearoabundaut,aIso, Hgnum-vltie, logwood and aloes. Tho climate on tho uplands is well suited to emigrants from tho temperate zones. On tho west sido of tho island tho coast Is unhealthy, but clsowhero tho sanitary condition Is very good The popular Idea that tho Island Is periodically llablo to yellow fever is en llrely erroneous. Earthquakes aro rare, but hurricanes not unfrcquent. There aro several rivers, navlgabloby light draft vessels ton considerable dis tance In tho Interior. Resides thosplcn did Hay of Samana thero nro numerous barbers, generally accessible by vessels of light draft. The public debt, Including nil claims, Is In round numbers, n Uttlo over $1, 600,000. Tho official statement of ro celpts of the Government for 1S70, shows it total of J772.000, tho Import dues nlono being $000,000. Tho Domlnleanaoveruuient hasmndo no grant or concession of land to nny foreign Government or nation except tho United States. Tho history of grants nnd concessions given by thoComnilsslon Is about tho samo ns already widely published in tho North. Tho report Is strong In condeni nntlon of tho stories that government officials of tho United States havo been privately interested In them. ThoComnilsslon find no foundation for tho statement that Dominica Is bound to Hayll for an Indemnity sum to France No treats of any conso- quence oxlst between Dominica and other powers, Tho only settled boun dary between Hayti and San Domingo is tho old Spanish and French lino of 1777. When Iho Haytlctis wero driven out of tho cast part of tho Island, thcro remained, as disputed territory, a coip slderablu extent cast of the old bcuu dary. This Is still lu dispute Of this tho Haytlans held In practically con stant control tho towns of San Rafael, San Miguel, nnd Los Catibas, DEM. - VOL. XXXV NO. 8. Tho Ronlcn Valloy, oast of thoso, and Neyba district havo been alternately overrun by both parties. Tho claim of Hayti to the boundary of tho Geffrard map, which is tho meridian through Altn Vela, is regarded ns preposterous. Tho extent of territory within tiio old boundary of 1777 is found by now and careful computation to bo 22,212 equnro miles. Tho portion of this republic ro fcrrcd to ns having been mainly In Hnytlcn occupancy, Is about 10,000 squnro miles. Tho Dominican government was found willing to ngrco to tho terms of tho treaty as now concluded, but not ratified, nnd for tho only chaugo think it fair that an account of Iho great nnd unexpected cxpenso of tho government nttcndlng tho delay that tho sum paid for Samana and now duo bo not deduc ted in the final settlement. It was also ttgrccd by Dominica that ono-flflh of tho public lands should bo sat asldo for school purposes, prov'Jcd tho United States would grant threo hundred thou sand acres for an agricultural college. Tho report concludes as follows : Sin Domingo Is capabloof supporting millions of people. Land Is cheap; lu fertility it certainly equals and possibly surpasses tho neighboring Islands, nnd It Is even better suited to the production of sugar nud coffee. It could supply thu entire market of tho United Stales with theso great West India staples. In reviewing Iho wholo field of their investigations, looking to tho Interests of both divisions of tho Island, they are firmly persuaded Hint tho annexation of San Domingo to tho United Statc3 would bo hardly less beneficial to tho Haytlen than to the Dominican people, This benefit would nrlso llrst from the example which would doubtless bo af forded of n well-regulated, orderly nnd prosperous Stalo, the great need of thnt part of tho world, nnd which it has as yet never seen ; n second and moro direct benefit would nrlso from the equitable establishment of n boundary lino between tho French speaking and tho Spanish speaking nations upon that Island nnd Its guaranteo by n strong power. This would end tho exhausting bor der warfare, which has been ono of tho greatest curses of Ilaytl, ns well ns San Domingo, nnd would enable both to dovoto their energies thenco-forward to tho education of tbelr people and the development of their resources.
