BOSTON AND THE SLAVE TRADE.

Boston is conducting, according to the showing OF
Mr.. Sumner, more lucrative slave trade to Kansas,
than she ever conducted from Africa now carries
on with China. But it is lucrative because it 10
less merciful. The negroes from Africa had legal
right TO support and maintenance for life. The Coolies
from China are also entitled to support during the
term of their apprenticeship. But the white slaves
bought up for song by the Emigration Aid Sccie
ty, and carried to Kansas have no rights whatever
They are at the mercy of the Society, who prepare
matters for their arrival as to make their labor as
valuable and efficient possible. They can employ
them when and for what they please, and charge them
such rents they please BY carrying them in large
numbers, they have at onco the advantage of that
competition for employment and for house room, that
makes them "slaves without masters, from tho COM
rpencement. The scheme is more cunning and more
cruel than we at first supposed and charged. We
thought that this Emigration Stare Society would
have to await the ful6lment and profits of its nefa
rious plot till the territory became densey settled
This we know is soon effected in free territories
where immigrants cluster closely together. But by
br;ldipp improvements in advance Of the immigrants
and carving out thousands year. these immigrants
are, from the fret at the srcy Of this souess cor
poration Free labor is cheaper than save labor, be
cause socaed free aborers less free than slaves
The Souherner must find houses and support tor bis
slave. in Kansas whether they be old or young pro-
fable or Improbable.
This Society only employs the healthy and able
bodied and but for private charity, would leave the
rest to starve. We charge it deliberately and advised
" TO be the Slave Trade, in its most cruel FORM
The men who carry it on 80 understand IT, because
their profits are result from the necessities ot tne
immigrants, aud are to be larger than tnoSe Oh Tue
negro STAKEHOLDER, because the immigrant VIII oe
driven by his necessities to work for less allowance
ehave studed fer years the bject Of the prctend
Ell emancipation of the serfs and viens of Western
Europe, and ascertain with positive certainty that
their lords and masters release them from domestic
slavery in order to remit aud subject them 10 slavery
to capital, which is the most cruel abject, debasng
and eIactug form of slavery. The late masters, own
ing all the landa, cot their labor cheaper terms
after emancipation than before. This is the doctrine
Of almost every literary man in Europe end has given
rise to Socialism, which is so general in free society,"
and which is vsiny endeavoring to remedy this great
growing and alarming evil fthe despo,i.m of capital
over labor.
| Mr.. Summers cute, hypocritical and hsartless
| friends thoroughly understand this philosophy
and see that it is a far more profitable business
to send white slaves than black ones to Kansas even
if they cost the same in the Eastern markets. whilst in
| fact tbs neproes are worth six hundred dollars
roupd and wa suppose twenty dollars head is
the most MFR. Summers friends give for their de-
| ludsd victims.
Our readers will recollect that we have been
all along charging that this Aid Society was
simply knsvi,h pecuniary speculation to cheat the
South ou. of its par, Of the common lands ana 'ne
laborers of the North out Of their liberties Mr.. sun
ners speech comes in admirable time to sustain anu
clinch our charges We regret that the southern
mind is not yet sufficiently aroused to the mighty I'M
portance of studying the relations of capital and Ia
Dor. 0uce understood and the illusion OF free 80
ciety vanshss like the bsseless fabric of q dream.
As the slavery discussion proceeds on prin'
cpls, the South begins to feel that its grounds
