SATURDAY MORNING. JAN. II. 1853


The action of the Council . few days
ago in opposing the presiding officer Of
tina, body has been a topic Of considerable
conversation the past week. This course.
though somewhat unexpected. was based
upon good and sufficient grounds. As was
shown by the unanimity in which it was
carried into effect. While it is true that
Mr.. Bradshaw was elected b. unanimous
vote, it was equally certain that hs was
far from being the choice Of either party. or
a mnjority-excluding his own vote--of
the Council, for the responsible position Of
presiding officer. Immediately upon the
converting of,he Assembly. it became ev-
ident that McIane's advisers were deter
mined to maintain bis seat upon vague
tcclnicalities, and TO ignore the will Of the
people, however fairly and honestly it
might have been expressed. 1t was like.
wise known that Mr.. Bradshaw had ex-
pressed his determination to waive all
technicalities involved in the contest.
citing as an earnest of his Intention the
fact that he had few years ago contested
seat in the House under similar circum-
stances, anl this intimation was voluntarily
made BY him TO the Democratic members
OF The Council. The .faror he asked in
return was that they should aid him in at
tanning the object Of his ambition. the
position Of presiding officer of that body.
The pledge was freely made. and accepted
in good faith by those whose influence he
sought aud obtained. It is likewise true
that he made over,ures to the friends OF
McIane, in which be pledged himself to
directly the opposite course Of action. That
he disappointed the expectations Of all
parties IS we'll known, and these. doubtless.
are The causes which have led to his sum-
mary Dismissal from post obtained BY
doubled dealing and deceit.
When It was manifested that the honor
and dignity Of the Council was compton,
Used by longer retaining him in place. it
was rot desired, nor was there any object,
in efecting his complete humiliation.
That result was the gcntleman's own
choice. Tie crown Of msr,yrdom was
sought, and he should not complain If it
docs not rest Is lightly or gracefully a. a
floral wreath. A proposition for him to
quietly resign WAS spurned with indigna-
ton.
The matter. however. does not rest even
here. Mr.. Bradshxw's friends, the Fed.
.rsi clique that he's sought 20 long to rule
the politics Of the capital. have at up the
"synpsshy" dads-. They held . meet.
