The muoioal elections throughout (he coun? try are much confused; there are many violent chang?s, whieh Sie generally at? tributed to local causes. St. Louis was swept by the Democrats-by a majority of probably 2,000. .The Republicans have the Connecticut Legislature by live in the Senate and fifteen in the House. Kellogg's majority is 49. Tba following is tho President's mes? sage on San Domingo : To the Senate and House of Representa? tives: I hayo the honor to submit herewith to the two houses of Congress tho re? port of the commissioners appointed iu pursuance of a joint resolution, approv? ed January 12,1871. It will be observed that this report more than sustains nil that I have heretofore said in regard to the productiveness and healthfulness of the Republic of San domingo, of the unanimity of the people for annexation to the United States, and their poaceable character. It is due to tbe publio, as it certainly is to myself, that I should here givo all the circumstances which first led to thc negotiation of a treaty for the annexa tion of the Republio of San Domingo tc tho United States. When I accept?e the arduous and responsible positioi whioh I now hold, I did not dream o instituting any steps for the a?q?isitioi of insular possessions. I believed, how ever, that our institutions were bronc enough to extend over tho entire conti neut as rapidly as other peoples migh desire to bring themselves under on protection. I believed, further, that w should not permit any independen government within the limits of Noni America to pass from a condition of in dependence to ono of ownership or pro teotion under any European power. Soon after my inauguration as Presi dent, I was waited upon by an agent o President Baez, with a proposition to au nex the Republio of San Domingo t the United States. This gentleman ret resented the capacity of tho island, th desire of the people, and their oharactc and habits about as they have been d< scribed by the Commissioners, whose t i port accompanies this message. B stated, farther, that beiug weak in nun bers and poor in purse, they were not ci pable of developing their groat resource) that the people had no incentive to ii dustry, on account of luck of protcctic for their accumulations; and that, if m accepted by the United States, with ii stitutions whioh they loved above tho: of any other nation, they would be cor polled to seek protection elsewhere. 1 theso statements, I made no reply, ai gave no indication of-what I thought the proposition. In the conrse of tim I was waited upon, by a second gentl man, from San Domingo, who ruado tl same representation**' and who was r ceivod in like manner. In view of tho facts which had ho< laid beforo me, and with an earnest desi to maintain the Monroe doctrine, I b lieved that I would be diroleot in n duty if I did not tako measures tu ascc tain thc exact wish of the Governme and inhabitants of tho Republio of H. Domingo, in regard to annexation, ai communicate the information to t poople of tho United States. Under t atteuding circumstances, I felt that if turned a deaf ear to this appeal, I mig in the futuro be justly charged with flagrant neglect of tho publio inter?s and an utter disregard of the welfare a down-trodden race, praying for t blessings of a freo and strong govei ment, and for protection in the onj< ment of tho fruits of their own indust Those opponents of annexation, w have heretofore professed to bo proi nently tho friends of tho rights of mi I believed would be my most violent sailants if I neglected so clear a du Accordingly, after having appoiute< commissioner to visit the island, M doclincd on account of sickness, I leoted a second gentleman, in wh capaoity, judgment and iutegrity I h and have yet, the most undoubted co donee. Ho visited San Domingo, no secure or hasten annexation, but, prejudiced and unbiassed, to learn tho facts about the Government, people and tho resources of that rep lio. Ho weut, oertaiuly, as well ] pared to muke an unfavorable repor a favorable one, if tho faots warrantee His report fully corroborated tho vi of previons commissioners, and, upot receipt, I felt that a sonse of duty ai due regard for our great national iuter required mo to uegotiato a treaty for acquisition of tho Republic of San mingo. As soon as it became publicly kn that such a treaty had been nogolia tho attention of the country was o pied willi allegations calculated to judico tho merits of tho caso, and aspersions upon those whoso duly connected them with it. Amidst public excitement thus created, treaty failed to receive the requisite thirds volo of the Senate, and was jeoted; but whether tho action of body was basod wholly upon the m of tho treaty, or might not havo L in some degree, influenced by sud founded allegations, could not bo kr by the people; becaaso tho dobatos o Senate in secret session aro not lished. Under theso circumstauc deomed it duo to tho office which I 1 and duo the charaotor of tho agents had boen charged with tho investiga that such proceedings should bo lui would euablo tho peoplo to know truth. A commission was, there constituted, uudor authority of gress, consisting of gout lemon sci with special reference to their high racier and capacity for tho labe work entrusted to them, who wer str neted to visit the spot and report tho facts. Other eminont citizens requested to accompany the commii in order that people might bav< benefit of their views. Studen science and correspondents of tho press, without regard MT political ' opinion?,, Were invited to j?lo tho expedition ; aud | these numbers were limited only by the Capacity of tho vessel. The mero rejection by tho Senate of a treaty negotiated by the Pr?sident only indicates a difference of opinion between two co-ordinate departments of the Go? vern mont, without touching the charac? ter or wounding tho pride of either; but whon such rejection takes placo simulta? neously with charges openly made of corruption on the part of the President, or of those employed by him, tho case.is different. Indeed, in such case, the honor of the nation demauds investiga? tion. This bas been accomplished by tho report of tho Commissioners, here? with transmitted, and which fully vindi? cates the purity of tho motives aud aotion of those who represented the United States in tho negotiation. And now my tusk is finished, and with it ends all personal solicitude upon the subject. My duty being done, yours begins; and I gladly baud over tho whole matter to the judgment of tho American people and of their representatives in Congress assembled. The facts will now bo spread before tho country, and a deci? sion rendered by that tribunal whoso convictions so seldom orr, and against whose will I have uo policy to enforce. My opinion remains unchanged; iudeed, it is confirmed, by the report that tho interests of our couutry aud of San Do? mingo alike invito the annexation of that republic. In view of tho difference of opiniou upon this subject, I suggest that no action be taken nt thc present ses? sion, beyond the printing and general dissemination of the report. Before the next session of Cougress, thc people will have considered the subject, and formed an intelligent opinion concerning it, to which opinion, deliberately made up, it will b? tho duty of every department of the Government to heed; and no one will more cheerfully conform to it than myself. It is not only thc theory of our constitution that tho will of the people, constitutionally expressed, is the su? preme law, but I have over believed that all men are wiser than any ono man; and if the people, upon a full presentation of tho facts, shall decido that the annexa? tion of tho republio is not desirable, every department of the Government ought to acquiesce in that decision. lu again submitting lo Congress a subject upon whioh public sentiment hus been divided, and which has been made the occasion of acrimonious debates in Congress, as well as of unjust aspersions elsewhere, I may, I trust, bo indulged in a singlo remark. No mau can hope to perform duties so delicate aud responsi? ble as pertain to the Presidential office without sometimes incurring tho hostili? ty of those who deem their opinions and wishes treated with insufficient consider? ation; and he who undertakes to conduct tho affairs of a great Government, as a faithful publie servant, if sustained by the approval of his own conscience, may roly, with confidence, upon the candor und intelligence of a free people, whose best interests ho has striven to subserve, and can bear with patience thc censure of disappointed men.
