In 1790, Hayti (or St. Domingo,) was a slave colony, containing a population of 686,060. In 1792--8, when it was in- yaded by the British, the French goyern- ment, through its ) commissioners, pro- claimed liberty to all who would take up arms to mect and repel the foe. Then under the superior military skill and brave- ry of Touissaint L'Ouvreture, 600,000 hu- man chattels rose into the dignity of free men, women and children !--Tonissaint was made General-in-Chief and Governor of the Colony; and the British invaders were compelled to retire, For nine years the colony under his government, says general La Croix, (a Yrench historian,) "marched as if by en- chantment towards its ancient splendor." Malenfint says, "The colony flourished under Toussaint. The whites lived hap- pily and in peace upon their estates, and the negroes continued to work for them." On the Ist July, 1798, Hayti declared her independence, and organized her goy- ernment Under the auspices of Free La- BoR AND Free Men, she enjoyed a de- gree of prosperity unprecedented in the annals of history. Says De Lattre, in his work on the Haytien Expedition, "The majority of the inhabitants of the towns loved the government of Toussaint, because he had GorGup them with nicnes." This island, like a gem on thesea, at- tracted the eye and fired the ambition of Bonaparte; and in 1802 he attempted a disgracful expedition, under (reneral Le Clerc, to enslave the population. Le Clere's army numbered 60,000, many of whom were the invincible soldiers of Na- poleon, Toussaint's army, says De Lattre, "had never more than 16,000 men." But the Haytiens had liberty, justice, and God on their side; and like Gideon, trium- phed over their numerous foes----The in- vaders were completely routed and put to the sword ; and only a small handful sur- vived to tell the fate of this horrid ex- pedition ! Since that day the Haytiens have en- joyed, undisturbed, the blessings of a truly democratic or yvepublican government. They haye wonderfully improved in intelli- gence, population, and wealth. They have taken a high stand among the nations of the earth; aud their independence has been acknowledged by nearly every na- tion, of character or importance, except our own. Our government acknowledged with in- decent haste, the independence of Texas before it was really achieved, to extend the area of Luman bondage; but how has it treated that glorious MRepublic of self- emancipated men? On the 28th of Feb- tuary, 1806, she passed an act "to sus- pend all commercial intercourse between the United Statesand those parts of the Is- land of St. Domingo that wunr FREE." Why this proscription? Why this ostracism ? Why this obstinate refusal to acknowledee the independence of Hayli? Let the debates in Congress on the Pan- ama mission 1825 answer. Said Mr. Berrien, of Georgia-- «Consistently with our own safety, can the people of the South permit the inter- course which would result from establish- ing relations of any sort with Hayti? Is the emancipated slave to be admitted to owr ports, to spread the doctrines of in- surrection, and to strengthen and invigo- rate them by exhibiting in his own per- son an example of successful revolt? This cannot be." Said Mr. Benton of Missouri-- "The peace of cleyen States of this Un- ion will not permit the fruits of a suecess- ful negro insurrection to be exhibited among them--it will not permit the fact to be seen and told, that they are to find friends among the white people of the United States." Said Mr. Hamilton, of South Carolina-- "Tt is proper that I should avow what I Uelieve to be the sentiments of the South on this question, and this is that Haytien independence is not to be toler- ated in any form." Said Mr. Hayne, of South Carolina-- "We ought not to tonch the independ- ence of Hayti. 'That government has pro- claimed principles of liberty and equality, and has marched to victory under the ban- ner of universal emancipation. You find men of color at the head of their armies, in the legislative hall, and in the execu- tive departments. Our policy with regard to Hayti is plain; we never can acknow- ledge her independence. Let our goy- ernment' direct all our ministers in South America and Mexico to protest against the independence of Hayti.? For many years our trade with that island has been greater than with Prussia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Scot- land, Belgium. Spain,Portugal, Italy or Turkey ; and still we have (as a nation) scornfully refused to recognize her inde- pendence, and subjected her trade to many embarrassments and severe discriminating duties. So yaluable have been our commercial dea- lings with Hayti, thatan 1838 a petition was presented to Congress, praying for the establishment of friendly international rela- tions with her. But this measure met the most violent opposition, and called forth bitter invective. Said Mr. Legare, of South Calolina-- As sure as you live, sir if this course is permitted to go on--the sun of our Un- ion will go down--it will go down in blood--and go down to rise no more. will vote against nefarious schemes like these. They are treason. Yes, sir, I pro- nounce the authors of such petitions, Trar- Tors--traitors not only to their country, but to the whole human race! Said Mr, Wise of Virginia-- "Never will I--never will my. consti tuents be foreed into this, 'This is the on- ly body of men who haye emancipated themselves. They have long been free, I admit; yet if they had been free for cen- turies, | would not acknowledge their in- dependence." In the language ef Henry Clay, (then Secretary of State, in his letter of instruc- tion to Messrs. Anderson and Sargent, Representatives at the Panama Congress,) the American Congress believes-- «Tt is the duty of the United States to defend themselves against the contagion of such a near and dangerous example." It is gratifymg to learn, that Senator Davis, of Massachusetts, has recently pre- sented to Congress a memorial, signed by, about fifty of the most wealthy and influen- tial merchants of Boston, (representing, in the aggregate, more than ten million dol- lavs,) praying the recognition of Hayti as an independent State--in order that our commerce with that. country may be put on an equal footing with that of other in- dependent nations.---These petitioners state that the American tonnage employed in trade with. Hayti, in 1850, was 74,671 tons, navigated by 3,504 Ameuican sea- men; that our exports to Hayti that year, were $2,360,188, while to. China our ex- ports were only $1,605,270 and employ- ed only one half the tonnage that MHayti did; and that our trade with Hayti ranks the eighth in importance among all the nations with whom we have intercourse. Tt is quite possible that our slayve-hold- ing and slave-catching Government. may "pronounce the authors of this petition-- the influential and wealthy merchants of Boston---Trarrors,' worthy of death, without benefit ofecleray; and may see in this rank treason " the sun of this Un- ion go. down in blood to rise. no more !" If so, Amer. For like the fabled Pheenix, another more beautiful and glorious will spring fromits ruins! Let justice be done, though the heayens fall ! The immediate acknowledgement of the independence of Hayti, and favorable diplomatic and commercial relations with her, are alike demanded by interest, honor, and justice; and our country should be the first to welcome into the family of re- publics, all nations struggling for free con- stitutional governments. Lut instead of this, what a hideous picture does our na- tion present? As it thrusts the fugitive back to the prison-house of slavery, so would it remand to the Bastile of anarchy and despotism upwards of 600,000 self- emancipated Haytiens! Let the cutaneous republicans of A- merica, in refusing to welcome and -enter- tain these new-born freemen, learn and fear the fate of the Ammonites and Moabites, who. were forbidden "to enter into the the congregation of the Lord, even to their tenth generation, becatise they met you not (the newly emancipated Israelites,) with bread and water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam, the son of Beor, of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee." Believing this American curse may be turned into an African blessing, I Remain yours, truly, D. M. KELSEY, Aug. 23, 1852. + HH fta= The St. Andrews(N.

The supply, however, has hitherto proved insufficient for the demand. A. workman recently! en- gaged in drilling fora, further supply of water in a well, made a fissure, from which a large and constant current of gas issued, with much foree, through the water. Upon placing a tunnel oyer the jet, and applying acandle, the gas ignited, throwing a column of flame to the top of the well, near twenty feet, and burning the man severely.
