Tbo Whig and Abolition presses of the north
ern States are begmiog to express considerable
alarm at the movemeoteof Americans, and the
policy of onr government in regard to some of
the West India Islands. Just now the island of
Hayti, or St' pomingo, seems to have became
the object of their most particular solicitude.
This island, which the French called St. Do
mingo, is abont as large os the State of South
Carolina, containing aome twenty-eight thousand
square miles ; and contains now about a million
of inhabitants. The population is divided into
three classes. The negroes on the northern and
western part of the island, number about 650,-
- * ‘-rut- 000, “d f° rm the empire of Hayti, now goT
S— emed by his sable rnsjesty, Faustin, 1., ** Em
peror of all the Ilayties.” The central portion
°f t * ie inland is occupied by whites, with a dash of
India blood in their veins; and the south-eastern
«T* part occupied by whites with a dash of African.
These two last classes form the republlo of Do-
minica, whose capital is St. Domingo, the oldest
} European town in the New World. Tho popu
* lation of this republic is about 360,000.
A state of war continually exists between the
whito republic of Dominica and the black etn-
P* ,re °f Hayti, though active hostilities have
*•“ for 80me ***** snB P ended - Solouque, the
' Em P eror bftS b «e n for three or four years enga
gedin making preparations for the conquest of
Dominica, and, it is said, his army now numbers
000 nek. His'private interests, faowev
'^»""mter^ere his desire of conquest. But a
few y®w» ago he was a private citizen, and'not
worth a dollar. He was crowned Emperor in
- 1849, and has since amassed a fortune of at
i leaBt two mlUlons'of dollars. While thus en-.
I E*g« d m P lttnderin g hia people, and destroying !
T ' the commerce and industry of his empire by his
‘ extortions, his Dominican neighbors have had
|| time to consolidate their republic and prepare
for effectual resistance to the thteatened invasion
tbe n ®y tiaDH - The capacity of the blaoks to
fJjyiycW'rQ’J &$ ’ prosper under an independent imperial govern
ment is well illustrated by the fact that the pre
it sent productions and exports of-Hayti are less
«^l*■ x^*y[r^ rvlFfjjfe t«*- than one-sixth the value that they were several
years ago. Nearly all the profits of exports and
*' ft, commercial enterprise go into the private coffers
of “ bis majesty,” and industry and commerce
‘are discouraged. Formerly tbo exports of the
isUnd ’ in coffee, sugar, mahogany and minerals^
were as valuable as those of Cuba. Now, they
are of scarce one-tenth the value. Such is the
w result of negro rule and “ imperial majesty”-
ship in one of the fairest and wealthiest islands
Of the globe. In the Dominican portion of the
? ’ll island there are believed to be mineß equaly in
richness to those of California. Some of them
were discovered and worked a century ago, but
have been lost sight of since the colored race'
M predominated/ jThe whole island was nnder the
JfefllblAck- .-frnm. mi —*a *w«
the whites of Dominica revolted and established
bjj£* JK* j /lJ their independence. Tho mineral wealth of
that portion of the island is now being devel
r/T °ped and almost fabulous accounts of it riehness
UTO °ow given by some writers. One writer
says the whole island "is a pile of rich mines;
iffijgSSj f“salt, sulphur, Iron, copper, gold, ore found
** I® al™ oBl every hilL" Add to this its forests of
mahogany, and its rloh lands, capable of pro
during in abundance, sugar, coffee and grains,
and some idea may be formed of the natural
£v 1 wealth of Domlnioa. Yet the constant appre
hension of negro invasion has prevented the de
velopment of that wealth ; the immigration of
> foreigners; or the industrious cultivation of land
tv by the natives. The opening of a gold mine
would invito invasion. Large and rioh orops
might be swept off by an army of negroes ; and
B ®7 eTjdenc ® of increasing prosperity would ex-
Clte R jealoaßy ftnd ca P ld *ty that would lead to
a barbarous and sangutuary war. Excellent
land8 ’ that in Cuba would sell for forty or fifty dol
‘ lars per acre, oan be bought in Dominica for
.- three dollars per acre ;—lands, too, in healthy
*sh!i§!s: and convenient locations; and that would soon
he occupied by thriving planters, if the peace
and independence of the republic were assured
J by the protection of a powerful government.
V The area of the Dominican republic is about
' equal to that of Massachusetts and Connecticut
together; and under a strong and good govern
ment a population of a million and a half could
■absiat anil prosper.
£at.a few years ago the Dominicans offered
unconditional annexation to the United States.
The offer was not commnnioated to onr govern
ment by tho agont; and if it had been, at that
time. President Fillmore would probably have
rejected it. Whig instincts revolt at the thought
of annexation ; and Whig politicians tremble at
the enggestion of a movement that might possi
bly offend tho governments of England and
Franoe. Tho Dominicans aro still in favor of
annexation; but are prevented from renewing
tho offer by British agents, who threaten them
With a Haytien invasion if annexation is at
tempted.

THE ANTILLES-AMERICAN INTER.
KBTS.
Gen. Cazneau has been sent by our govern
ment to negotiate a treaty with the government
of that republic; and it is understood that a
treaty has already been signed; bat the terms
*re not yet fully made known. It is said, how
ever, that, among other things, it allows Ameri
ean citizens to work the mines on the most lib
eral terms; and to bay lands and cultivate them
Without losing any of their rights as American
citizens. It is supposed these liberal stipula
tions will induce large numbers of our oitizeni
to settle on the island as miners, and sugar and
toffee plasters. It Is also said that the treaty
eedse to the United States the possession of the
hey tad peninsula of Santana as a military and
MEE
naval depot. Thlff Is not yet oertalnly known.
The hills around that bay are said to be tilled
with mines of gold and other minerals, and cov
ered with forests of mahogany. The Domini
cans believe that snoh inducements held oat to
oar people will result la establishing an Ameri
can colony on their northern ooast; and securing
a large number of Amerioan settlors in their
midst A liberal infusion of Yankee enterprise
and hardihood amongst them would give stabili
ty to their government; revive Industry and com
merce; develops the mineral wealth, and give a
sure guaranty of safety against negro invasion
Such are some of the advantages the Domini,
oans would derive from the acquisition of Ameri
can settlers; and the establishment of American
colonies, mining companies, and military and
naval depots in their territories.
rOCTOBER 31,
To the United States it would give a secure
and commanding naval station in the midst of
the West Indies; where our steamers could be
repaired, and supplied with ooal and provisions
in peace; and onr naval forces with munitions
and stores, and a seoare rendezvous in case of
war. With snoh relations established, onr com
merce with Dominioa would bo of vast value.
Sugar, ooffee, iron, sulphur, gold, and mahogany
are among its abundant products. It is a repub
lic, seeking protection, which our government
could give. Its people desire annexation, which
would soon probably be the result. Slavery does
not exist there, and on that score no objection
conld bo made to adding it as another rich and
free State to the Union.
Dominica declared its independence of H&yti
in 1846. It has maintained it ever sinoo. Yet
its government has never been reoogoized by the
European governments, or cveu onr own. The
treaty just concluded, it is said, provides for its
full recognition; and establishes amicable, and
liberal commercial relatioos, equally valuable to
both countries.
One would suppose that such a treaty would
meet the cordial approbation of every American
ollizen. But tho Whig aud Free Soil presses
hive commenced a clamorous denunciation of it,
even before its terms and stipulations are known.
The old humbug cry of “slavery extension’’
is raised again, though no signs of suob an ovent
appear. It is charged that it is an unfriendly
movement against the blaok empire of Hayti,
though nothing of the kind is yet developed.
It is oasy to oall it filibustering. English and
Whig presses will doubtless do that; though its
aims and mode of operation are precisely similar
to thoeo of the Japan expedition. Should it re
sult in giving stability and safety to that island
republio; developing its wealth, aud enriching
our commerce; and saving the white republicans
from the sanguinary rapine and
Inst of their barbarous imperial neighbors, no
philanthropist could Tegrefc it. Those who ob*
ject to It must prefer monarchy to republican'
ism; and the black race to the white. Do our
Whig contemporaries desire that the peaceful Do
minicans shall be conquered and despoiled of
their rights and their property by their black
neighbors, who are too lazy to work ; and whose
gaudy “Emperor” enriches himself by extor*
tion and plunder? Their course io regard to
the alleged treaty with Dominica can have no
other aim.
The United States government seeks cot to
molest the Haytiens. Tho Dominicans have a
right to enjoy their independence, and the wealth
and advantages their country affords They
havo achieved independence, and maintained it
for uine years; and their prosperity should no
longer be depressed and destroyed by threats of
a invasion, and the rascally interference
of English agents. We hope the treaty is eon
eluded, that its terms are as liberal as re
presented; and its tone perfectly independent of
the Kelf-constituted European “Regulators” of
the W£gftß» Hemisphere.

Tub Ebbiho Tips or Emigration.— Since the
let of August, about six thousand foreigners
have sailed from the port of New York alone,
for Europe, whieh is nearly twelve per cent, of
the number arriving. Many reasons are given
as a cause for this returning emigration, but
the most plausible to onr mind is the expla
nation that these persons have gone on a visit to
their native lands to bring out their friends and
relatives. The supposition that it was caused
by the demonstrations of what are called Enow
Nothings, is absurd. When this returning tide
had commenoed to set in, the new order had not
given sufficient evideooe of power to create
alarm even among the most timid of foreigners.
Blackwood’s Magazute.— Tbe October num
ber of this Magazine is received. Tbe artiole
entitled “King Otho and his Classic Kingdom,"
is worth the price of the number. The Bava
rian king of Greece is rather rudqjy handled by
the writer; and the condition of that country,
Us laws, its policy and its prospects, uro treated
of with ability.
Another article headed “ Niaevah and Baby
lon,” will be read with interest. It is for sale
at the depots of Miner & Co., and Gildenfenney
& Co., Pittsburgh.
Tho metallic life-boat from the ill-fated
Arotic, which was brought to the port of Phila
delphia on the steamship Osprey, 'on Saturday
week, was Satarday morning last, put into the
Delaware at Brown & Godwin’s Wharf, above
Pine street. A great number of'persons
into it, to test its capacity, and it was found that
the boat would bear many more than had been
rescued by it from the disastrous wreok. The
experiment attracted quite a crowd.
Nicholas Beehan, who murdered Mr. and
Mrs. Wyokham on Long Island, has been con
victed of the offence, and sentenced to be hung
on the 15tlr of Deoember next. The prisoner
displayed great callousness and insensibility du
ring his trial, and, when the sentenoe of death
was pronounoed by the Judge, he replied:—■
“Thank you air;”—with an awfulaflpotation of
politeness—“ and I will leave you my hair for a
ring.”

In some of the above districts there is a great
disparity in the number of votes polled. For
Instance : in the twenty-first there are Ism than
nine thousand, and in tbe twenty-seoood, but
few more, while iu tho sixteenth and seventeenth
there are nearly nlneteon thousand In each.
Straws, It is said, show which way the
wind blows, and judging from the “ straws ”
which appear in the Philadelphia Nevi,
should’nt wonder if Col. Andy G. Curtin was the
candidate of that paper for United States Sena
tor. To be sure, it don't make any suoh avowal,
but then U very disinterestedly publishes num
berless extracts from exchanges who ore strong
ly In favor Of Handy Andy. However, it may
fail to have the desired effeot. We all remember
this was tbe course pursued by our neighbor, the
Gazette, when it desired the gallant Larimer to
be tho Whig nominee for Governor, and who
would now very possibly be our Governor elect.
How he was “slaughtered,” at Harrisburg,
let tho reoorda of the Convention show; and that
he will be slaughtered again these “straws”
clearly Indioate. Lot tho General look sharp.
Ton End or the World. —Lest our readers
may not be aware of tho fact, we will inform
them that this is the day (31st of October,) fixed
by the Milleritcs for the burning up of this sub
lunary sphere. People have been humbugged
so often by this ory of “ Wolf,” that we are afraid
when the day of judgment does oome, they will
be inolmod to look upon it as “a little previous.”
We would oalt attention to tho fact that Mr.
Rutherford, from Philadelphia, and tho Rev. Mr.
Passavant, will deliver addresses this evening,
at the 2d Presbyterian Church, on the subjeotof
the House of Refuge. Tho objeot is one in whioh
all our citizens should take au interest, and it is
hoped that the Hall will be well filled. An ad
vertisement will be found in another oolumn.
Two hundred and fifty persons leave onr eity
this morning for that far off country. They be

ciety, and are under the direotion of C. Albright.
This, we believe, is the last division belonging to
that Society.

LEGAL AND EdCITAILE JOKES
BY CRASHES DICKERS.
( Concluded. )
JEST COXOIBRIRQ A SXA-CAPTAW.
A sea-captain ejected from his ship a noisy
drunken man, who misconducted himself; and at
the same time turnod out certain pot-oompanions
of the druqjten man, who were as troublesome
as he. Bibo (so to call tbe drunken man) bring
eth an action against the captain for assault and
battery ; to which the captain pleadeth in justifi
cation that he removed the plaintiff “and certain
persons unknown ” from his ship, for that they
did misbehave themselves. “Eye,” quoth tbe
learned counsel for Bibo, at the'trial, “but thero
be seventeen objections to that plea, whereof the
main one is that it appeareth that the certain
persons are known and not unknown , as by thee
set forth.” “Marry,” cried sthe court, “bat
that is fatal, Gentlemen of the Jury !” Verdict
accordingly, with leave unto the eca captain to
move the Court of Qaeen’s Benoh in solemn ar
gument. This being done with great delay and
expense, the sea-captain (all the faots being per
fectly plain from the first) at length got judge
ment in his favor. But, no man to this hour
both been able to make him comprehend how he
got it, or why ; or wherefore the soit was not
decided on tho merits when first tried. Which
this wooden'headed seaman, staring straight be
fore .him with all his might, unceasingly main
tains that it ought to have been.
Now, this surely is, in all respeots, an admi
rable story, representlngjthe density, obstinacy
and confusion of tbe sea-captain in a richly ab
surd light. Does my learned friend Willmore
relish it? Not in the least. Bis dull remark
upon it is : That in the county court the case
would have been adjudicated on its merits, for
less than a hundredth' part of the <u£kincur
red; and that he woald so alter tbe the
land as to deprive a plaintiff saing in a superior
court in such an action (which we call an action
of tort) and oovering less than twenty pounds,
of alt olaim to costs, unless the judge should
certify it to be a fit case to be tried in that su
perior court, rather than to have been taken to
the connty court at a small expense, and at once
deoided.
Precisely the samo obtusooeas pervades tho
very next suggestion of my learned friend. It
has always appeared to me a good joke that
coauty courts having a jurisdiction in cases of
contract up to fifty pounds, should not also have
a jurisdiction in cases of tort up to the same
amount. As usual, my learned frieuffi Willmore
cannot perceive the joke, lie say 9, In his com
monplace way, “ 1 think it is tho general desire
that the jurisdiction should be givenand puts
as an illustration—“ Buppose a gentleman’s oar
riage is run against. The damages may be fifty
pounds. In tbe caso of a oostermonger’s don
key-cart, they may be fifty ponce ; tbe facts be
ing identically the same.” Now, this, lam of
opinion, is prosaic in the last degree.
Passiog over my learned friend’s inclining to
wards-giving the county courts jurisdiction in
matters of bankruptcy; and also in criminal ca
ses now diappaod of, not much to anybody’s sat
isfaction he seems to consider at quarter see
sions—where, by tbe by, I have known admira
ble practical jokes played off from the bench ;
and towards making a court of appeal of tbe se
lection from county oourt judges ; I will come to
his crowning suggestion. He is not happier in
this than m bis other points, for it strikes at the
heart of tho excellent joke of patting the publio
in this dilemno, “If you will havo law cheap,
you shall have an iuferior article.”
Without the least tenderness for this jest—
which is unctuous, surprising, inconsequential,
practical, overflowing with all the characteris
tics of a wild and rollocking humor—my learned
friend knocks the soul out of it with a common
place sledge-hammer. U hold, says he, that you
ebould have, for county court judges who deal
with an immense variety of Intricate and im
portant questions, the very best men. “ I think
there is great mischief in the assumption that
when a man is made a county court judge, he
never can be anything else. 1 think, if the re
▼ers** was assumed—if the appointment as coun
ty court judge was not considered a bar to a
man’s professional advancement, you would
have bettef men candidate? for the office. Vcu
would have the whole tody of ttleat in tbe pro
fessioo willing to go through the previous state
of probation, as ii would then be, of a county
court judgeship. You must not expect a per
manent succession of able, conscientious men,
competently trained and educated for sueh an
appointment, if it is to be a final one at the
present p*y. The county court judge, ewp«
oUlly.ln the is plaowd in a painful
and false position. He Is made a wspstuts
and must amoeixta with bis brother justices. If
he lives at all at they do, he perhaps wpends
more than he can pffon); he certainly can lay
up nothing for bis&tnily. If he does not, be will
probably nrcet win slights and disparagement,
to which, 1 think, be ought not to b* subjected,
and which Impair his efficiency.” He believes
also that if the Oourt of Appeal were estab
lished, and tbe other county court judges were,
as vacancies occurred, to be appointed members
of it. according Id oirenmsUnote, “ the public
would drrivs rifotber a frontage in not being
obliged to as a jadgs of tbs superior
courts, a partly untried men. They would have
a mao exercised both la ItW Print end in bank
work, and exercised In the face of the publio.
and the ptofemitfe, Instead of having a man
taken because he has a oertain standing as an
advocate, or beeaas* bs has osrtainly political
recommendations. 1 think it would be a much
more certain mode of testing ths merits of a man
previous to his appointment as a judge in the
superior courts. H
80. for the good old joke of fobbing the pub
lic off, when it Is perverse In its demands, with
half a second-rate loaf, Instead of enough of
tbe best bread; for the joke of putting an ed
ucated and trained gentleman inn publio station
and discharging most Important social fuoctlons.
at a social disadvantage among a class not the
least siiff-seohed and purse-prond of all classes
know between the British Channel and Abys
sinia; for tbs joke, in short, of systematically
overpaying tbs national Shows and underpaying
tbe national Substances; my learned friend
Willmore has not the slightest tenderness! I
am of opinion that he dose not aee it at aIL He
winds up h!s evidence with the following extra
ordioary flat remarks
“ I think that the pnblio attention ooghtto be
very pointedly directed to the fact, that while in
tbs rich man’s superior courts ths suitors pay
nothing towards the salaries of judges, offioers,
Ao., yet in the poor man’s oonnty courts the
suitors are taxed to pay for all these, and some
thing extra, by whita the state is mean enough
to make a small’ profit. I cannot understand
how any one, except, perhaps, a very timid
Chancellor of the Exchequer, oonld justify or
even tolerate an Injustice so gross, palpable and
cruel.”
On the whole, therefore, it appears to me, and
lAm of opiulon: That, if many each m«a ab
my learned friend Wlllmore were to seonre a
hearing, the vast and highly entertaining collec
tion of oar legal and equitable jokes would be
speedily brotfeh&o a dose for ever. That, the
objeot of eueh doll persons dearly ia, to make
Law and Equity intelligible and useful, and to
cause them both to do justice and be respected,
Finally, that to dear out lumber, sweep away
dust, bring down cobwebs, and destroy a vast
amount of expensive practical joking, is no
joke, but quite the reverie, and never will be
considered humorous in any oourt in Westminis
ter Ilall.

lnvigorating Elixir or Cor

im ; in time of health prepare for cickness, is an aphorism
no less wise. Spring, with its freshness, its TltaUaing
atmosphere, its cheering influences, is now with us; but
summer, -and with it, perchance, that dread scourge, the
cholera, approaches. Let oil whose physical organization
is sensitive and delicate, fortify their Systems against the
enervating heats of the coming season by a course of that
most powerful, iuocuous end infallible of all restoratives
and tonics. Dr. NORSK'S INVIGORATING ELIXIR OR
CORDIAL. As a cure for all nervous and functional dis
eases, In both sexes, its feme is co-extensive with the
Union; but be it remembered that as & preventive it is
ao lees valuable. It gives to the animal powers a resto
rant force that enables it to pass acatbless through the
fiery furnace of contagion, or, in the event of an attack, to
conquer the malady. Add vigor to the frame now, for
there Is no saying how soon It may be required. It is
among tbe feeble, the torpid, the depressed, that epidemics
reap their harvests of death. If, therefore, you are affected
with any phase of nervous disease, or with any affection of
the stomach, if you are depressed in spirits, or enfeebled In
body, if, in short,you are In a condition which renders you
peculiarly susceptible to unhealthy influences, resort to
this Inrigorant, alterative and antisepiie, in which, under

" happy issue" out of their difficulties to all who suffer
from shattered nerves and weak digestive organs.
