The republic of Haiti, the western ‘end of the island Columbus called “Little Spain,” was the earliest exam‘ple’ of a nominal constitutional govjernment carried on by black men. . Columbus found 2,000,000 friendly Andians on the island. Slavery killed r.hem off and negroes from Africa multiplied in their stead. Of these, 1,500?000 descendants now live in Haiti. fNearly all are pure black; the mulat.toes diminish in number. The whites fwere massacred or driven away in the frevolutionary wars. - | The present republic had belonged ito France a century when the French irevolution began. Slavery was then ‘abolished, a black rebellion took place, ;and the British invaded the island; ;but Toussaint VOuverture, a black |George Washington, drove them out and set up a constitution. Napoleon sent his brother-in-law, Gen. Leclerc !(pretty Polly Bonaparte’s husband), to subdue the blacks. He made peace «with Tcussaint, seized him treacheriously, and sent him to Paris. But the {same year, 1803, that Toussaint died ?in.‘prison there the French fled from -ithe island. Its people were tlius the ifirst to get the better of Napoleon, Stour years before the reverses in 'Spain, nine years before Moscow. Lelelerc had died in 1802, , The Spanish portion of the island :broke loose from Spain and was joined ‘to Hafti, but was separated in 1844 as ;the republic of Santo Domingo. -~ This is the record of the Haitian fichief executives: Dessalines, governor for life, assassinated, 1806; Henri IChristophe, king, suicide, 1820; Boyer, ipresident, expelled, 1843; Souloukue, V;“Emperor Faustin 1,” exiled, 1858; ‘Geffard, president, exiled, 1867; Salinave, shot, 1869; Nissage-Saget, exiled, 11870; Dominique, exiled, 1871.
