A SNUG LITTLE BILL-WHO ARE OUR
MASTERS2

The expenses to the Government, Of the Boston
slave hunt, are put down in the papers at $4,000.
Certainly they are not less. Theodore Parker
calls them $10O, 600. And rather poor spccula-
ton, besides, we should think to kidnapper Suttle.
The twelve hundred dollars offered him by the
Bostonians, to purchase liberty for the man, and
peace for themselves, probably would not have
paid him his share of the cost of catching. Ger
tanly Burns price in the Southern market will
fall far short of it. He is damaged article
These Virginians do not kidnap for the pratt. 1t
is for the gory--the royal satisfaction Of seeing
Boston aristocrats upon their knees in humble sup
plcation, and the whole union, civil military, and
naval, at their command. Colonel Suttle for the
week before last was the lone monarch of this ma
ton. President Pierce and his thousands of sub
altcrns, were but his aids his ackeys, that reiter
ated, his commands, and did his will. A greater
than Pierce in Boston, which for the time
the capitol of this nation of slave catchers. And
no mean distinction is it esteemed by these over
sccrs to rule, the despos of nation, if it be but
for the space of one slave chase. To terrify and
annoy rebellious Yankees in their own dwellings,,
with U. S. troops, is to them vastly more comfort
able than swinging the lash themselves, over naked
negroes their home plantations. There is some
thing magnificent in having plantation to extend
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Think of lashing
millions of slaves and among them, the nabobs of
the North This it is that gives zest to the hunt,
especially as the whpt slaves, in this case as in
all others, pay for the lash that cores them, and
for the services of the wretches who WELD it.
We talk of popular sovereignty" of "seli
government of democracy" How ridiculous
I,rbop ti1nonpar who ortc Hood boup
north of Mason & Dixon's line, is, while the chase
lasts, as supreme despot as the Czar upon his
throne. And the whole people are but slaves, to
submit or to be crushed. Such are our liberties
and such is the glory Of our government. And
the mercenary north has been willing to submit tc
this. But in addition to this, we want it distinctly
understood, the north must foot the bill. And We
