Our opinion may he plainly spoken jn a few words We are quite sure we shall offend many, but we can't help it? and it is: that the ''almighty dollar" had more to do with the law to be carried out, than the love of the Boston people for the South, or the compromise of the Constitution. The Bostonirtns were touched in a tender spot: they found out that there U/Ofi vii-fliJa in llwi iji-mtk citnl that their commerce wag rather1 too valuable to he sacrificed to negro sympathy.

The following additional items in I relation to the late Fugitive cast; in | Boston, are significant of the feeling ! j there: The Boston Fugitive Slave Case. I t ?The people of Lynn. Mass., tolled ! their hells on Saturday, when they j heard that Sims had been delivered ( up to his master. The Boston Commonwealth states j that several ..warrants have been is- , sued for the arrest of other fugitive slaves in that city.

Sumner, and to express the public ' sentiment upon the fugitive slave law. The cost of the extradition of the i \ fugitiva slave, Sims, is estimated at about five thousand dollars. A large . nnrt r?f this Riim will fall iittrm tlm I claimant, some $1200 upon ttie c ity* | | and !?700updii the United States gov ( ernment. The total expense, iiielii- j ding subsistence oftroops and officers, and fees of counsel, not to consider , the outlays of the vigilance .commit- J tees, will far exceed the sum of $5000. j These revelations, as well as otlier unmistakeable proofs of popular sentiment elicited by the recenf e vents in Boston, suggest many reliections. They lead irresistibly Jo two conclusions: Firstly, that the delivery oH'ugitive slaves is repugnant to the moral sentiment of the great masses of the people of New England* who will use every means in their power to render the late act null and void,! so long as they allow it to remain on i the statute hook. Si'fnnrllv. ihnt it ! must 'cost more than it will come to,' under the most fcvorablecircumstances, and that the. expenses are such as practically to destroy the utility of the act. This Uoston case was a very favorable one? fur the most extraordinary efforts were made to facilitate the proceedings, and secure the slave, at the least expense, to the owner?and yet it will be seen that the reclamation of a negro, whose value would j i?\sw uuiuuiiuuuu^ luuuouiiu uuiiaioi costs the owner from t wo to three thousand dollars! and the Federal and State Government as much more. And all this, too, not to ensure an open triumph of law and older, but a flitting before daybreak, and an avoidance of the risk of the nsk oi rescue on the railroads. i> ay, so much wore the abolitionists emboldened by this midnight movement, that they actually pursued the Acorn, and had the wind hot favored the brig, might probably have borne the fugitive b ick in triumph to Boston. Joul to recur to the main point.? The value of any legislative act de jjuuud iiic uusui u;t; uuricvitiiy, ciiui nig cheapness of its execut ion. 11 a man loses his slave, and is to be taxed four times his value for the chance of recovering him, of what use is such law? All Southern slaveholders cannot afford the same expensive luxuries which Mr. Potter's ample means allow him to indulge in, for the purpose of testing a principle; and the I rendition of Sims, at succh a price, encourages the Abolitionists, while it discourage? the owners of fugitive slaves from repeating so costly an experiment.
