MR.. BRADY'S SUICIDE.

The cheap consistency of such politicians Mr. James
Brady of New York. is providence to southern wings
who desire to find for fraternity with northern abb
olitioniss In this aspect Mr. Bradys letter against the
Nebraska bill will be practical advantage to the enemies
of the constitution and in this aspect, also, few add
tonal words may be excused Mr.. Brady who spends
great portion of his time in Europe embracing every OPP
portuny show his preference for the customs Of foreign
countries makes Of his politics sort of pastme, vary
ing the relaxaons of fast young man. by occasional
maedctons against portions Of the American people by
coarse bels Of the Chief Magistrate Of his country by
vulgar insinuatons against esteemed and distinguished
senator's and by the public and fragrant deseron of the
doctrines which he has 50 often noisly advocated All
these elegant preparations for the European market
him welcome in the Old World, especially
if he add in support of his calunies the endorsement
of so renowned politician ms MIR. Peckham. On his next
visit abroad Mr. Brady will be able to delight his foreign
eoreres with many familiar falsehood against his
try including the rura districts" the President and the
ungrateful South
Mr. Brady roared very loudly in the index against Mr.
Van Burens detection in 1s4s and the staple of his speeches
was the curse of certain who voted for Mr. Van Blu
ren the necessity of dsownng them forever He piled
mountains of adjectves against them held them up to
present scorn and to future shame admonshed postey
against them ranked them with Arnods and Burrs and
banished them to q social well as to political Siberia
The end-a of Brady nationality. His creed had but
one article and that hostility seconalism The South
was his country, and southern and women many
gods and goddesses Our blatant Brady seemed to ig-
more the very Bible for the constitutions and pray not
in the fashion of his fathers but in the style of political
anathemas upon the rce-soiers This is side of the

commission show his foreign companions his position
at home and returns in time the administration he
has assaled noby vndicatng the constitution of the

support Of its policy and the same abolitionss whom
Brady has often denounced, assang the app
cation of constitutional principles to the question of sla
very in the Territories He finds also many of those who
have acted with him warmly secondng the Nebras-
ka BILL and as warmly supporting the eminent
in Congress-Senator Dougas-whose championship of
that measure of the proudest triumphs in
American legislation Here chance for vehement
Brady Here was chance to test his sincerity, his chiv
airy his disinterestedness Here chance to show
that his professions were not ceryescences of his
champagne temperament Alas the trial was too much
and the weak spirit yielded to its preferences and its
sentiments anu ueseteu every PieuSe PtihetP" W
which it had been The attempt of Brady to ex-
plain his metamorphosis is very ceby forcibcpentully
garnished with angry epithets it is He takes rank
with Greeley and with Weed against the Nebraska bill
shoulders his musket under John Van Buren, eraes the
commonplace of abolition agtators, abuses the South as
6ercey rs Gddings and his back upon his party at
moment when outrage upon the rights of civil and
religious liberty is about to be perpetrated by the wings,
so much for James Brady, good specimen of buster
ing and rabd railer cheap edition of national princi
pies bound in calf; of words, not works. May he
prove to be useful to his companions han he
respected or scrvcenbe the democratic party His last
extravaganza is the best favor he has rendered to that
party because has landed him where he belongsamong
the foes of democratic principles
