Once more, let us look back over period of
FIVE years and see who furnishes the largest
number of vessels engaged in the african Stare
trade? It admits of but one answer New
England. Yes, New England furnishes large
uimbers of ships to Spanish owners, for the
purpose of carrying on the slave trade, New
England gets Spanish money for her ships, New
England would Increase the United States naval
force to suppress the trade (alias capture the
vessels), and New England can furnish more
ships--and so ad in1faitum. Oh shrewd, cum
ming New England! Oh christian New Eng
land And these are the men who prate about
immoral slavery, sinful slavery! Will any one
tell us where the moral principle lies? We
own that we cannot see it,

0rThe Methodist Episcopal General Con-
ference, on Thursday, finally settled the exciting
question that has lately so much engaged their
attention, by adopting, by a vote of 154 against
81, the majority report of the Committee on
Slavery, declaring the buying and selling of
human beings as chattels an evil, and advising
its extirpation by all Christian and lawful means.
On. Friday they adopted, by vote of 165 against
6, resolution declaring this change in the
Church discipline to be advisory in its nature
not statutory.

BE1The Senate on Thursday refused. by a
large majority to ratify the treaty lately con-
cluded with Mexico, known as the McLane
Juarez Treaty. This result, it has said, has
produced much disappointment as well as sur
prise, as the indications during few weeks past
were favorable to it's ratification
Tt is supposed the rejection of the Nicaragua
treaty by the votes of nearly all the Republican
Senators had not a little influence in the rejec-
ton of the Mexican treaty by the votes of the
Democrats.
An Intellectual effort was made to remove the
injunction of secrecy.

H6-The House of Representatives on Friday
was scene of excitement and confusion through
out the session, growing out of an appeal on the
part of Mr.. Winslow, member of the Covode
Committee, to the House to direct the summon
ing of some witnesses from Pennsylvania to
prove that fraud had been used to secure the
election-ef Mr.. Covode In the course of the
discussion Mr.. Train intimated that Mr.. Hous-
ton had acted in an ungentlemanly way, to
which the latter retorted with the epthets-ssa
disreputable liar and "scoundrel" A resoll-
ton of censure was introduced but finally with
drawn, when Mr.. Houston apologized to the
House, but made no apology to Mr. Train, in
which position of affairs the House adjourned.

ALBANY LEaIsIArIoN-DEATH OF THE One
CENT FERRIAGE BuL-It will be seen by
the report Of yesterdays proceedings in
the Assembly that One Cent Ferriage bill
has been strangled in It's passage through
the House. The conclusion was evidently
q toregone one, for, on the vote taken on
the majority report of the committee, which
was adverse to it, it was lost by As to 2S. 1t
has been known for more than week back
that the committee report would be unfa.
vorable, from indications that showed the ex.
ercise of an influence the character of which
was unmistakable. The fate of the bill must also
have been predetermined in the House; other
wiee ii would be difficult to account for the
contempt that it has manifested for public
opinion, which had been unanimously mani.
tested in favor Of the measure.
Two facts are established by the defeat Of
this bill The first is that the interests of no
other city, but particularly those Of New York,
have the slightest chance Of attention in Al
bany. Here is measure, in which republicans
as we'll as democrats felt strongly interested.
and which was petitioned for by vast numbers
of the citizens Of Brooklyn killed Off without
the slightest hesitation or scruple. The second
conclusion which il confirms is, that no project,
no matter how beneficial to the public, has the

AIpERMANIc VIRTUE IILusTRATED.--One Of
our city contemporaries relates an incident said
to have occurred in the Park few moments
previous to the meeting Of the Board of Alder
men at which ex Sheriff Willet's name was re-
jected as President of the Crotoa Board, the
other evening. One of the Aldermen met Mr..
Willet in the Park, and the following converse
ton is alleged to have taken place.
ApxRxAS-wen Sheriff, do you wish to be confirmed
10 me in the BoardS
AInERMAN--Oh, yes.
wrrIT-whai are the objectons9
AIDnNAS-why, they say you are rich. Is thN the
factS
wu1Yn-weu am worth few thousands, but rest a..
sured that Alderman shall get dollar OF it.
Now, this is probably quite true, and it
only shows how barefaced is the corrup-
ton of the Aldermen when one of them could
thus openly avow the mode whereby the
Mayors appointees might be confirmed. The
unpurchaseable Alderman Brady (at least un-
purchaseable for $4,000, as he alleges) has not
left us in mystery as to how the votes Of the
Aldermen may be or are sought to be obtained;
but this incident argues not only want Of
honesty, but want of shame on the part Of
that branch of the city legislature, which, we
will venture to say, even Albany could not
excel

DOWNING SnEILED Our Al ToGETIIER.-We re-
greet to learn that our old friend, and some time
correspondent, George Down ing, colored-
oysters in every style-has mo' with some
severe pecuniary disaster, which Nil prevent
him from Smelling out to his numerous. creditors
just at present. In point Of fact the veteran
Oysterman is q bankrupt.
We are quite in the dark Is to the cSusc oil
Mr.. DowniDg's failure. For many years hA'
has transacted safe, steady business, and has
reaped great deal of national oyster fame,
much more real and enduring than many
Of the literary, political or professional repata
tions Of the day. Downing was the best known
man in bis trade, and was looked upon as a
kind Of Cr@sus in high darkey circles. It is
very likely that Downing, like Delmonice,
Barnum, Genin, and several other people who
have made comfortable fortunes in business
with which they were acquainted, has been
tempted into some Of those speculations which
the Wall street sharpers are continually fixing
up for men of means Thus Barnum was thrown
by clocks; Delmonico by Kerosene oil; Genin,
who was making fortune in mems hats must
needs 60 into the millinery and haberdashery
line, and 60 on. Some of the city editors, who
ought to be up to every variety of Wall street
snuff, have tumbled into similar bitches. The
Chevalier Webb might have been very rich
man to day if he had let stocks alone McElrath
was doing well with the Tribune when he got
into railroad speculations, and was foored
Greeley has not much to show for all his labor,
having neglected his business to run about the
country, mixing himself up with miserable
politicians and the quadrilateral fellows are
always gambling in Wall street, and losing or
winning with the turn of the market.
These people all ignore the fact that the only
road to wealth is . narrow one, and that per-
manent success is only attained by sticking 70
ones own business. There was Stephen Whit
ney, who made great fortune by combining
himself to real estate; Commodore Vanderbilt
the same by adhering to steamboats,, and George
Law by contracts and buying and selling Con-
gressmen, Aldermen and members of State Lee
gislatures. That's safe business, because the
articles are always in the market, and offer the
widest field for speculation. Among the edi-
tors, Bennett of the HERALD, seems to have the
best chance of becoming rich enc of these days,
because he attends to his business and keeps
out of everything else. Depend upen it that
is the only safe rule. Let the shoemaker stick
to his last.

CrfY RAILROAD JOBS AND LEGISLATIVE Cor
RUProN.-The corruption to which the pre-
sent system of legislation for city railroads
leads is an infamy and a disgrace to the
country. The franchises of these railroads
are immensely valuable to the grantees,
and they can therefore afford to apply
liberal sums to the purchase Of votes-in some
cases amounting TO $4,000 vote thus
offering irresistible temptation to not very
scrupulous legislative body to vote away rights
and privileges, which belong to the community
Of this city, to few rapacious individuals.
Through some Encouragement on the part of
the lobby jobbers, we presume, whether in.
duced by spirit of parsimony or not we
cannot say, George Laws Gridiron bill was
defeated, but there are five other railroad bills
still to be disposed of, quite as bad in their In
ception and intent as the Gridiron bill. As
measures of corruption, these bills are but the
Grdiron bill five times multiplied, because
separate interests are involved in each, and
every interest must use its own infamous mode
Of procuring their adoption-namely, by cor
rupting the Legislature.
1neIe 10 Uut ouc way VI drrcStluS ILLS rech-
ing tide of corruption, and that is by authoriz.
ing the Mayor and Corporation to repave all
the streets with Belgian pavement, and lay
down rails all through the city, Broadway and
all, at their own expense; and wherever and
whenever 1t becomes necessary to run rail
road in any direction let them grant license
to some company, compelling them at the
same time to run such number of cars, and
under such regulations, as may be deemed ade
quate to the wants and convenience of the
public, limiting the fare to two or three cents,
according to the distance. This may be done,
not as means of revenue, but as matter Of
public accommodation; and should revenue
accrue let it 60 into the treasury to pay off the
city debt and tighten the burden of taxation
By adopting some such plan as this we would
have all the RAILROADS we require, and this fer
tile source Of legislative corruption would be
cut off at once.
