The one hundred will viNt you. We wish you
Joy Of your guests.
Tho truth is, the enterprsiOg Blgelow has
been exceedingly unfortunate. Fifty OF MS
human cattle drowned ct once One hundred
dead ones thrown overheard! The good ship
Brutus burned And then when Mr.. Bigelow
was counting his cash. along came the u o.
Marshal, and requested tho pleasure OF his con-
pany in court! And then the Commissioner
wanted SIC, 900 BAIL; and by and by the Judge
will want something more of tho badgered blge-
low. This is really On extraordinary case. "e
thought that il was the regular rule to let tnese
clever men.inerchauts alone, or ut least TO make
stern show only Of bothering them. We do not
think that Bigelow has been well treated
Scores upon scores OF slaver.sklppers and ei
sayer-owners have been captured-but how
many of them have been punished And now
they pounce upon Bigelow What has Bigelow
done that he should be made q scape.g goat
Why this sudden, culpable, and harassing Official
activity Even if Bigelow does run away, he
viii be $1,000 out by the operations; and II ne
does not run away, things will, in the present
state of the country, be made unpleasant to him.
On the whole, we do not think that we have
ever heard of a more unpleasant speculation.
Most Northern defenders Of Slavery, paradox
cal NJ II may seem. consider tho institution TO
he n nuisance. We have heard q deal OF talk
Of TRANSPORTING oil our blacks back to Africa;
and certainly if negro desires to go there, he
should be helped aud not hindered. But OF what
use will IL bs to send him across the ocean in
order that the Bigeows may bring him once more
TO America And admitting Slavery to be tue
source Of all our woes, ho6 culpable in Bgelow
TO import fresh invoices OF blacks. To be sure,
he simply undertakes at present to supply Cuba;
but. without DOUBT he will be equally ready to
supply the Csrolinas aud Georgia aud Louisiana.
Either Bigelow must be suppressed or he will
import continual cargoes; and with his fresh
con.gnments Of desirable goods will be contnu-
ally cutting out new work for the COLONIZATION
Society. And yet We do not believe that the
people who are accustomed 10 their lively and
philosophical way TO wish tho negroes we're all
dead. will be at oil angry with this Biselo"
for hi, little adventure. Not they Ii you
draw upon their symPatbies. your bull Will be
nrote,ted. Not shade OF pity for black beasts
will they have; but on the other hand, you will
be written down an igneous AbolitOniat. 1t is
pretty hard 10 know what to do In these DIS
tra,ted times. If you support Slavery, you are
snubbed and if you oppose Slavery, you are
snubbed. II you hold your tongue, you are
dumb dog, and il you lift up yout voice, you
are a di.orQanizer aud disunioniss. You mousn
over the fate Of Bigelows fifty swamPed blacks;
ard forthwith somebody in the elhnologicai hhc tss
you that the deceased were no better than 80
many swamped bullocks. You do not mourn
over tho murdered men, and you are charged
with fendsh inhumanrty; The London Times
accuses you of savage cruelty. ard you are car
featured in Panch. Now, our friend Bigelow
cuts this Gordnu knot. "Dc not says he,
