The Tcinc!cr in the Garden OF
Eden n .;ljn.

( Eden again.
/ Bion Bradbury was in + Zen last Wednos-
day morning, tempting the good people Of
that town to vote for him. at the coming
election Hcdclivcrel political fable there,
of which, for fiction. only, .Esop might well
have been proud Some of the 'cats"
thought it great effort regular
clinchcr. also think it was great ct
fort" 10 deceirc the honest voters Of that
town. He told them that the slavery qucs-
ton" is a dcad issuc-that the pcoplc of kda-
sas had settled that question 10 to |, by
rejecting Lccompton lie acknowledged
that there tad been some little trouble in
Kansas. and said that We might dicays Ct
pcct more or less trouble in all territories
which were open for settlement But that
now, the whole thing is dead issue Lire
issaes vera what h. should talk about; such
as the ar eiproeity Treaty. the Fishing
Bounties, &C.. that effect the pacuniary in
tcrrSt Of the people of this very town. The
"R4eiprocity Tretty," he said, was made in
June, 1871 and would remain in force till
June 1861. But if he were elected, he
should induce the President to give the one
years notice, which is required, in 1868, So
that the Treaty itself might be repealed in
lS6I. What do you think Mr. Editor, of
Bion's influence with thu President. in lS62?
ID You suppose be thinks Mr.. Buchanan
will be President then? Does he not make
Il very moderate e>timlte Of lis own powers
of persuasion. for modest man like him
Why does he not tell the people, that de,
riA INIT geod r,gM arm Of has will recind
that Treaty at once, AMI done with it,
Again, in case Bion should be elected at the
coming election, (Which lie cannot.) does he
think he can hold his SCAT in Congress eter-
nally? And by the way. the Treaty went
into operation in March lsjj; and must re-
main in force till March 1853 before it can
be repealed or touched in any way.
IL says, the Fishing Bountias' will not
be repealed by the Democrats because paying
these Bountias was, originally, Dem ,cratjc
measure, and, even Mr., Buchanan once made
speech in favor Of them Impossible for
Mr.. Buchanan to change | suppose, lie
probably has not changed, since he said. "If
| thought had one drop of Democratic
blood in my veins, | would open thcm and
let it out. = Bat Mr.. Bradbury sad, that
the proposed Repeal" was not an Admini>-
tration measure, and heard him attempt to
prove it, by saying, that when the vote, upon
that question, was taken in the Senate
democrats and Republicans voted for the
Repeal, and Democrats and Republicans vo-
tel against the Repeal" Now, what is c
truth Of the matter? Not single Rcrubl-
can voted for the Repeal, and only one Adj
mlnistratiOa Democrat voted against it.
That is the record Mr.. Bradbury, and You
cant rub it out. When Mr.. b. goes before
the people, dare he not tell them the honest
truth? One thing moro, he says, if he should
be elected to Congress, AMI his party stoa}d
20 in favor of the Repeal, he should not 60

Who doubts his election any longer? Mr..
Bradbury said "a BILL WAS introduced in

he did not say, that the bill was reported by
