The declaration goes on to say: "lhe people
Of 81. Domingo have been deeply oppressed, so
that the yoke imposed on II was grlcvons, as had
been that of its old Metropolis; their towns be-
came desoatc and the peop pie deprivedo Of all those
benefits which, if they were citizens OF the
Republic, they were heirs 10.


% In Feb. % the eastern part of the Island was
forced to submit to the army of the President,
Bower, who had crossed as friend the boundary
of the French and Spanish parts of the Island
They were deceived by his professions, and found
him they had received as friend, a tyrant.


"But vet the Domjngans sought to assimilate
themselves to their new fcow-citizc


"Boyer had introduced inconccvable disorder
into the CITY his very laws were instinct with
disorder and ruin. He deprived distinguished ln-
diyiduals of opulent families of public employ
ments to give them TO his creatures, thus render
ing uninhuencial the only persons who could have
represented the opinions OF their compatriots-
He reduced wealthy families to indgence pur-
posely ruined the roads, destroyed agriculture,
and degraded aud despoiled the ministers OF re-
igion Of their rights and of the reverence due TO
them; suffered public works to decay, and his
emi.earies to appropriate TO their own uses the
revenues of the Eastern part of the island


ITO give some color to his injustice, he pub
lished a law approprating the estates OF abScn-
tees-took possession of the lands held IN COM
mon by the towns thereby dcspoiling the poorer
class of their hocks and herds and reducing
them to the greatest extremity of misery"


The Declaration recitcs various local lnJustl-
ces, and concludes with stirring invocation TO
the people to arouse from their stupor ana WIN
freedom for their country.
