The Dying Groans of Hon.
BiOn Bradbury,


fore an assemblagca at Whiting Hall on We'd
nesday afternoon, aud it was perfectly APP
parent to an observing mind that he laborcd
under the belief of his certain defeat, and
that the influence of this fixed fact, had a
depressing effect, rendering at times, his re-
marks personal and yindictivc. lie had not
address enough to even affect indifference to
the points made against him by Republ lean
orators and newspapers, as the tone of his
remarks as well Ms the temper of them, shcw
that he still writhcs under the pain caused
by Republican arrows which have hit him
between the joints of his harness. After be-
slowing som, attention upon Mr.. Washburn
whose speech delivered here, he listened to,
and upon Mr.. Fesssnden, he passed to
the newspapers. He came down upon the
them with crushing ~ effect, perhaps
He could not tell why, But somehow these
naughty papers had sllndcrod him, had
made personal attacks, and had said all man
ner of hard things of Mr.. Bion Bradbury.
Well, he could not tell wherein they had ac-
cused him falsely, and he did not stoop to
prove that these naughty papers had misrcp-
resented him or his party !; oh no, but he
could say,
"lie did not like that DR.. Pell,
The reason why he could not tell
But one thing he knew full we'll
lie did not like that Dr.. Pcll.r
He alluded to the Advertiser charging him
with buying u ''little niger" to keep in
with the slnveocracy, bu. he dill not deny
the truth of the query raised, not by the
Advertiser, but by the Washington CORES
pendent OF the Tribune. lie t bought, per-
hars, his followers ought to think it was
false. because he wanted them to so think
He harml:ssly alluded to our humble efforts
three several times, thereby ALTERING our
vanity, and almost causing us 10 think, that
our labors in a good cause have not been
without results in the right direction. We
venture to offer bit of advice to the Ion
gentleman in passing, not bearing the least
PARTICLE of i'll will towards him. and that Is
that the dog days being about over. he should
seek his political information from more
reliable source than the Mlchi,s Union, be-
cause it may save HIM from some notifying
positions. We noticed that in quoting from
the American. he makes us say rhat rec ner-
er sad but in all charity we suppose he got
his information from the Union, where he
obtained the remarkable fact that ulmlin
and Fcsscnden voted for the Reciprocity
Treaty, and we therefore pardon i, all To
quote him in his speech, THAT it is ncccssa-
ry for certain gentlemen to have good mcino-
rics' We commend the rroycrb to his cspec-
ial attention. rem ,mbcrins, that il he does
not seek purer sources for in 'ormiti,n. than
heretofore, he will have to put that ..littlc
niger to the nee ,ssary labor of attending
on him to refresh hi. memory. But as the
weather is CROWN. c,olcr, and the human
system can, from its bracing effects, bear
much more labor than durin. the murky and
misty days when Sirius bears rule, we are in
hopes for his own credit that he will turn
his attention to official documents for inior-
nation on political subjects.
One moment let us look at some Of his
points. ASSERT ms, s,phism' and admissions
He says that kansas is dead issue. =
It is not 81. Kansas will apply for admis-
sion into the Union with a free STATE con-
stitution, and will be opposed by the DEM
ocra,ic party. The party has commenced
through its central organ, to do this no..
lie said that "the Republican party had
made Kansas FREQ STATE Thank YOU for
the admission. But who uscl all efforts 10
prevent it? Mr.. Braihury's party. vet,
Kansas is not a state, and the battle is to be
fought over again. with the administration
lie said that the Republican party had
fulfilled its mission by settling the question
ofSiavery in klnsls; and that slavery did
no, exist in any Of the unprgAnized terrific
rics.' What but the Republican PARTY, as
in Kansas. will prevent New Mexico, Arzo-
IA and | tab from becoming slave states -
The mission of the Republican will not be
completed, until the burial Of the democratic
party, as it is at present constituted
lie said that Mr.. Wa,hhurn had charged
that the South was aggressive. lie ua,icr-
took to say she WAS not. and asked f the
purchase of louisiana and Florida, WAS az
grcssiye? if the compromise measures and
the repeal Of Missouri compromise wer, az
grcssive measures? lie answered, no! vet
in u few minutes he related II conversation
with President Pierce. wherein he SAWS that
Pierce WAS amazed that the Smth should
have commenced the agitation for the repeal
Of the Missouri compromise, Then he pass
cd on to say that he''South ~as aggressive,
because of the principles of the Northern
politicians.
lie alluded to the Reciprocity Treaty, and
thought that the movement for its modifca-
ton was his "thunder" becau Sc, the Columbia
Convention that passed his resolutions was
the first Convention in the State and he tri.
umphantly:.asked, where was there a single
paper or Republican, that had mentioned the
subject? This seemed poser, until he said
that Mr. Washburn hai voted and spoken
against the Treaty. We know that the Ban
gor Wing discussed the effects Of this Treaty
upon Maine interests, long ago.
lie did not tell the Democrats that Mr..
Fuller is as good democrat as himself. and
