Brahlkv, and that of Mr. IPLean, the late Postmaster General, are pregnant with matter deserving the dispassionate and attentive .jtonsideration of their fellow-citizens. Dr. Bradley's ' letter had, before its publication, been denounced by the Administration and its Organ "at the Scat of Government," as being of an "offensive character," 'abusive,'1 and too contemptible Ut deserve notice. A subsequent attempt to prejudice the highly merito rious author of that letter, has been made by the Combination, through their usual channell, in the -ft leering article concerning himself and his venerable brother that appeared in the Telegraph of Monday -an article which, to the eyes of alj honorable men, would appear in a yet darker hue, ifits pensman were generally known. Dr Bradley's letter is now before the People, and no man, who is not paid for lander, will insinuate that there is anything in it, either "offensive, abusive," or contemptible. A more dignified composition, or one more creditable to the head and heart of a writer, never, we hisifate not to ,javer, issued from the American press. The perfidy which it proves on the Post Master General in his deliberate violation of a deliberate, though voluntary engagement to Mr. Abraham biadley, gla ring as it is, aught not to surprise any one ; for Mr. Barry took office under a stipulati6n to be perfidious Or to be any thing else, whenever the "greatest and best of men" should require lum.l But the example of perfidy which it puts forth, deserves the deej de liberation of every American citizen who wishes to understand the true character of the nreasant Ad- , . i - . . . y -i . - i 1 wariiUo.iu..Jj? :. a., jiiJoJJuLJ6 u lfcac tlui.Bi tJ accounted r cxmsUfi wp pox.Uus iajmy w mic; imrvr ,,,A.. i nn" is i Hue lo shield IllV lli.Iier s rt Hill' ...... . - j . utation from every shade of reproach which bis ene mies ma v de.ire to cast upon it. .Wholly unprepared for the event which has overwhelmed him, his ac counts u;icttled, his piartcrly returns not received, he will be but loo much e posed to any effect they may wi-h to produce.

He has learned to his utter surprise, that it was delivered immediately to the custady of the very man from whom he designed most scdulou-ly to guard it. Now although his poverty is too well known here, his prob ity and virtue highly appreciated abroad, and I know every dollar which he possesses, you cannot but perT ceive the situation in which he is placed. iS'o charge has been perferred against him, no reason assigned for his removal, and yet all that is left to him, hisrep utaion, has been subjected in come degree to the con trol of his bitterest foe ; of one who has pursued him for mouths with the secret .& fell purpose of a bad man. Me has been suddenly sent forth into the cold and heartless world without the means of supporting, however frugally, his family, but without reproach, and without shame, while it has been put into the power of the only man whom 1 believe to be truly his enemy, to awaken both against him. Now, Sir, you cannot, in justice to yourself, ha ving ordinary regard for the opinion of society, and a decent respect for one whose greatest misfortune has been the truest and purest devotion to his country 's good you surely will not refuse to plate mm in such a situation as will enable him to prepare and ad- inst his public business.

' There is no subject so much connected with indi vidual happiness ai.tl national prosperity, as the education of daughters.

Il is alwavs extreu ely difiicult, and sometnnts utterly impossible. Is the present education of young lathes likely to contribute to their own ultimate happiness or the welfare ot the country ? There are many honorable exceptions, but we tlo think the general tone of female education is bad. The greatest and most universal error is teaching girls to exaggerate the importance of getting married ; and ofcouise to place an undue importance upon polite attentions ol gentlemen. It was but a few days since, I heard a pretty and sensible girl say, "Did you ever see a man so ridiculously fond of his daughters as Mr.? Ik is all the time with them. The other night, at the paijy, I took Anna away by mere force; for 1 knew she must feel dreadfully to have her father waiting until, her. all the time, while the other girls were taik- . . .... .. r And another menu oi mine don't ciesaie mil het inning oi.. ame.il.

That a mother should wish to see her daughters happily married is natnial and proper; that a young iady should be pleased with polite attention is like wise. natural and innocent; hut this untlue anxiety, ibis foolish excitement about showing oll'lhe attentions of somebody , no matter whom, is atlt tided w ith con sequences seriously injurious. It promotes envy and rivalship; it leads our young girls to spend meir nine bctvveen the public streets, the ball room, and the toilet; and worst of all, leads them to contract en gagements withoiitauy knowledge oftheirown hearts, nvcrcly for the sake of being married as soon as their companions.'
