CoNGRrssatKy ELEcTIoNEERINo. - Our readers are
aware that when the Democratic National Conven-
ton was about to assemble at Baltimore, the two
houses OF Congress adjourned for the purpose of
allowing the members 10 attend it, and similar
movement was made in relation TO the Wing Ma
tional Convention, which is yet in session at Phi
ladelphia
Between these two conventions, nearly fort
night of the time of Congress has been ost-an i'm
mense amount of the peoples money has been
wasted-and, in addition to all this the interests
of the people and Of the country have been neglect
ed. The members draw their eight dollars per
day, while they are thus wasting their time in
making electoneering tours to Baltimore and Phi
ladelphia, and endeavoring to interfere with the
choice of the people in their candidates for the Pre-
sdency,
This conduct should be denounced. Apart from
the direct waste OF money, Congress have abun-
dance of national matters, of the highest moment,
requiring their attention and legislation. What
business have the several members TO be lodging
about the cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, and
New York! What business have they to be loaf.

datel 1t would be much better if they had remain

legislators-the business for which they were
elected, and for which they are paid. The money
which they draw from the people while they are
electioneerng, would go good way towards con
structing an ocean steamer for our navy of which
the country is in much need at present. If they
wish to forward the election of any particular can

Congress.

TRIAL OF TIE MODEL ARrIsTs-THER CoNvIc-
roN-The trial of two men, who were engaged,
some time since, in exhibiting naked men and
women, under the specious name of Model Artists,
was brought on in the Court of Sessions in this city
on Wednesday last, and resulted in their convic-
ton and punshment-the prisoners having been
sentenced to pay fine of hundred dollars each,
and be confined for thirty days in the city prison.
This is ended as it ought to have ended, and its
conclusion may be looked upon as a vindication
of law and morality, over the worst form of lasci
viousness and vice. 1t reflects credit on city,
and proves that, though vice and immortality may
flourish for day, the law of the land, backed and
supported by a sound and virtuous public opinion,
abundantly capable of REFRESHING it, and punish
ing the offenders.
An amusing scene took place in the examina-
ton of one of the witnesses for the defence, who
swore that Madame Adolph, famous fortune teller
in this city, informed him that Mr. McKeon went
TO her house and consulted her in regard to the
chances of the election. This, as might be expect
ed, nonpussed the District Attorney land convulsed
the spectators and the court. 1t is due to Mr.
McKeon to say, that he peremptorily denied hav
Ing had the consultation in question, having the
fullest confidence how the election would termi-
nate. The verdict will be approved by the whole
community, and we hope will be warning to evil
doors hereafter.
The conviction in this case was, however, as far
as an abatement of the evil is concerned, work of
supererogaton. Public opinion had already
stamped these exhibitions with the seal of con-
demnation. Patronage was entirely Withdrawn
from them; so that they died for want of en-
commencement This speaks volumes in favor of
the moral tone of the commercial emporium, and
shows that composed as our population Is, of citi-
zens of every country, as well as OF our own, a
vein of decorum and virtue runs through II, which
will discourage vicious and demoraizing exhibi-
tons of all kinds. We have successfully vndi-
Gated our character in this matter, and can again
take our stand viruous community, having
purged ourselves of the stigma that was attached
to us by the impunity with which these exhibit
tons were conducted for a time.

it shownth the slave population has decreased
ll2,736 in the last six years.
This is most remarkable fact; and the slave po-
pulation of the other Islands IN the West Indies,
we believe, presents similar feature-a decrease
during the last few years. In the British West In
dies, where slavery has been abolished, the popu-
lation of the colored race has not only been dimi-
nished, but demorazed, by receiving that very
liberty which was considered so great boon
by European philanthropists. In the island of
Hayt, where the same race have enjoyed perfect
and uncontrolled liberty, with self-government also
for many years, they are even in a worse state of
degradation, generalization and diminution of
numbers. Liberty, united with political power
seems even worse boon than liberty without poll
teal power. All the West India Islands seem to
be utter wrecks.
Now, when we turn to the same race In the
Southern States of this Union, what a contrast do
we behold! During the last forty years the negro
race of the South have increased from one to three
millions, at least. Their comforts, morals, conve-
niencles and enjoyments are far superior to those
of the same race in the West Indies, either as
slaves, freemen, or holding political power, as in
Hayti What is the reason of all this difference +?
Can we account for it in any other way than that
the negroes of the South are under the control, in
fluence and example of superior race-that of the
Anglo-Saxon And do not these broad facts show
that the Africans, race, are incapable of pro-
ducing, by the same political and personal rights,
the like degree of general happiness, such as the
white race exhibit and enioy1 The English Gov
