The gallant Col. Bradbury then presented
his wounded honor for dJetoring. This

goose No other oleagnous substance has
such curative qualities as goose oil; and no
other body Of men possessing it was
likely, soon, to assemble. Therefore, the
case was one Of necessity. The occasion
was one of rare good luck. The condition
Of the wounded parts would brook 10 delay.

The wicked, defiant and irreyerent Els
worth American Eltor, was then and there
charged with this heinous offence. The
comments accompanying the hundred dollar
draft despa tch was charged as libelous, and
presented to these men; and the law app!i-
cable thereto, explained by the Attorney,
who is learned in all the lore which create
political ma jorties in given quantities, and
IN given places. But this gentleman is hon
orable, high minded, honest hearted, and all
that. NJ one ever suspected him Of being
preludiced in his public acts from political
considerations He does not mean any body
eyer shall suspect him of subor linating pub
lie duty to the furthering f POLITICAL ends;
and no man has a better knack Of continually
proving his innocence by fair words as well
W fair deeds.
The eldest son of the Vicar of " Wakefield, new
or had better knack of hoping idstdisap-
pointments and hard fortune, than has the
States Attorney for Washington County, Of
making that look fair and honest which
to many has decidedly a partizan app irance
If he does not sink sell, p2rty spirit, AMI
all prejudces, he is not to blame for it,.
He tri hard to do So, and lab0rs to
show more than ordi AIRY fitness. But
in spite of this, through the arduous exer-
tions of body" an Indictment was pro-
cured against one n. *. Sawyer, for said
publication in said Ellsworth American
The parchment on which it was written, is
about the size Of the celebrated patch on
M,rcy's brecches," as near as we can re-
member from seeing an engraving of it, and
it serves about as useful purpose. 1t is
conspicuous and perspicuous. Irving tells
us that it WAS "W lillian the Testy," one of

invented the plan Of eonquerng political
enemies by proclInations. But then, he
called that high Dutch dignitary .'bustlng
little po,entate.' He tells us that his proc
l..,n.ltions we're "well written, we'll scaled,
and weh pubished-all that WAS wanted to
insure it's effect, was, that the Yankees
should stand in awe of it; but provoking to
relate, they treated it with absolute con
Tempt" This wasa material defect in a
s.mpaign paper for Political purposes, and
must have been dishcartening But the
sesty little Governor of New Amsterdam,
wrote his proclamations on weekdays, and
without much expense. This patch for
wounded honor, cost the County OF Wash,
ington more than fifty dollars, and as much
hard swearing as was gone through with by
that earmy in Flanders" of which Uncle
Toby speats; and when it was carried into
the Court House, it was redolent with the

spirit, that it was supposed TO have been

ohristened on Monday. On Tuesday, when
we arrived, it was still und r the Doctor S

part with it. Counsel for us, repeated Y.
and persistently, insisted on q trial, and was
as often met by refusal. The magnani-
Nous and honorable Attorney had us ID the
power Of the State and er porte evd nee, to
procure an indictment, and then refused to
