Luther Bradish.
We reproach ourselves, and we think the Wing
Press generally is obnoxious to censure, for not
having kept more constantly before the public the
character and qualifications OF our candidate tor
Governor Luther Bradishis one OF the purest, most
intelligent Industrious and patriotic public men the
State or Country has ever known. Born IN the
State of Newly York, and having travelled very eX-
tensively not only in the United States, but in
foreign Iands-havipg also been connected with
the State Government, either as member OF the
Legislature, or as Lieutenant Governor, tor the
last ten ycars-no can bring any charge
against the private character of Mr.. Bradlsh.
Since the days of John Jay there has been no
public man in our State more perfectly unex-
ceptonable, in this respect more free from stain,
or susPicisa OF wrong, than the subject oil TINS
article
he has been in prosperity and in adversely, ia
want and in afiuence and in every variety of cir
cumstances, in every charge Of fortune, he has
ever proved himself man faithful TO his obiisa-
tions, public and private, exact and mehcdlcal IN
the discharge of his moral and religious duties,
dignifed in his department, gentle and atfabe IN
his manners, kind and amiable in his disposition;
in short, it may be emphatically said OF him that
he is an enlightened Republican, and Christian
gentleman. The history OF MIR. Bradish Is net
little interesting. The first we recoect TO have
heard of him he was a tutor in the Academy at
Jamaica, Long Island, in about the year ls0o
he was then lately out OF College. There. at
salary of Two hundred and fifty dollars, and in a
comparatively humble station, ne was as much re-
spected for his faithful discharge OF duty, his in
telligence, his correct and manly department, as
he has been at any time since.
Leaving that Academy he came to this city and
studied the profession of the law; aterward ne
went to Europe on business travelled extensively
in England and on the Continent-subseGuentl
returned to this country, but again visited Europe
and travelled in the East, in Greece, Egypt aud
Palestine. He became very intimately acquainted
with the Pacha of Egypt, and after his return to
this country correspondent with that dignitary NO
American whe has ever travelled in Europe or the
East has moved in high her or more refined circles
of society, in those countries than Luther bradlsh
none has been more respected. or has created an
impression more favorable to the American name
and character than he
Soon after his return from his travels, having
large landed possessions in the northern part of
this State, he buried himself in the woods oi
Franklin County, and became an extensive farmer.
There for ten years he lived, very highly respected
and much cares.ed by the simple yet intelligent
inhabitants of that new country. He was sent by
the County year after year to the Legislature, as
its representative in the House of Assembly; and
we have had many opportunities OF learning that
no inhabtant of that County was ever more P'pl-
lar, more consulted and more respected. as well
by political opponents as political friends, than
the republican farmer, Luther Bradish.
He was indeed farmer, who attended person
ally to his tillage, and had better crops
and better stock than Mr.. Bradish. 1t was here,
IN inhabitant of Franklin County, among simple
republican people, many of than the tenants of
log cabins that the sterling excellence OF Mr. Bra
dish's character was most conspicuous here we
saw exempli6ed the truth that genuine republican
and true gentleman-a gentleman not only in
manners, but in heart and in feeling-would and
must be respected and beloved.
Such, felIew-citizens, is the Wing candidate for
Governor; this picture is not over-charged, and
let the citizens of Newly ork remember that he has
for many years been one efus; he knows our wants,
he has thorough acquaintance with our instltu-
lions and the character of our population. we
earnestly hope that all true Wings. and all good
citizens may feel it their duty to make exertlons to
elect such man such Governor as Luther Bra
dish would make. would cause every New-Yorker
TO feel proud of his State. [Com. Advertiser
