letter 10 Tie Edition, Of The Z. s. Ga=e"e.


IT. would be difficult convey to YOU any sufficient
idea OF the agitation into which tins community has
been thrown by the various rInnors which are now
III circulation. That the whole influence OF the fed
eral government will be ccntroukd and brouu sys-
Dramatically 10 bear upon the next election, every day
renders more certain.
The removal Of Mr. Bradley is, OF Itself, calculated
TO alarm the people, cat tue OF
crease that apprehension tenold.-Wllen Mir. Rratl-
ley left the office being desrors that the funds in his
possession should not be funded his successor
until they had been counted he requested Mr.. Barry
to keep the key OF the iron chest which was handed
to him, III his own possession, until opportunity
given to tell the amount. IT. seems that Mir.
Barry promised TO do so, but nnnIedaat.i afterwards
handed the key to Mr.. Gardiner, the successor
Mr.. Bradley, who, consequently, had access tic
money, II had The reputation OF Mr.. Bradley from
that elt in his power. When t=is,yyus made
known Mr.. Bradley he is sail to have declined ta-
king any further trouble concerning the funds. His
brother DIR. Bradley Is reported have felt so indg
nant ut this treatment, which to have origina
ted in degree To iIure Mr. Bradley that be instant
ly addressed letter to Mr.. Barry, which, under
courteous and b entemanly phr2 Geology conveyed Il
sharp reflection upon the course which had been
pursued by MIR. Barry, and concluded with deciaT-
ton i'll substance, that lie should resign unless his
brother had an instant opportunity to place liis
character beyond the reach of Misrepresentation
and 10 enable him TO do this, it was demanded
that the Post Master General should assist linn
with clerks 10 go through his accounts from
the beginning of his official concerns with the
department. 1t seems, yet, answer has been
given to this letter, which has probably placed the
post master general in dilemma a. the resignation
of DIR. Bradley would throw the department into Il
confusion not easily to be removed In order
tabish perfect system of secrecy perhaps OF not-
ing worse, in the department, considerable removals
said to be cruIimed This being the season
for making the contracts, these removals viii proba-
bly, be postponed until all the contracts made,
and the bonds of the contractors registered ana thcu
will follow the Bosom Of prescription, and the newly
created bureaus Will be swept out
Mr.. InTIan MIR. Van Buren, and Mr.. Er,rrl, do
not seem to ENJOY so large aportion Of the confidence
Of General Jackson, Mr.. Eaton and Mr.. Barry: and
believe Mr.. Belrien is not terms of very intimate
intercourse with the President but that their associa
ton is prompted and limited by official necessity. But
Mr.. In, ham and Mr. Van Buren, doubtless intent
and ansous i'll the pursuit Of their separate objects,
having their eyes fixed upon the contingencies Of the
year 1852. AS to Mr.. Branch his mind seems TO
grasp nothing beyond the taste of abrdging the al
lowances of the officers of the profession which il
entrusted to his charge: and when he has succeeded.
in passing account, in striking off few dollars
from poor lieutenant, or in gaining the best Of a
bargain with Of his purscrs, believe he enjoys
all that perfection of happiness of which his nature is
capable.
