The Nevada Democrat., 1859-11-16
. Monu,nent to the memory Of Frederick
at the CAPITAL.

A MonuInent to the memory Of BrodefAcA
at the Capital.
A correspondent of the philadelphia Press
writing from Quincy, Illinois, whom we take
to be the Hon. /. N. Morris, one Of the DePo-
cratic Representatives from that State, pays
the following tribute to the late Senator Brod-
erick, and suggests the propriety of erectinga
monument at Washington to his memory;
( I have no doubt bat you, and the entire anti.
Lecompton Democracy Of Pennsylvania and OF
the Union, have received with profound regret
the news Of the death of Senator Broderlck.
He was indeed, true and noble man, ana mas
fallen Marty to his devotion to principle.
No threats could intimidate, and no bribery
could reach him. He was pure patriot and
an honest man, and stood in the Senate as
wall of fire to stay the present rotten admins
tration's wicked and plunderiDg schemes. II
became necessary to remove him out OF the
way, and his location was favorable to the sue
cess Of the conspiracy. +.
I wanted to make suggestion in regard to
poor Broderick. Having had ample opportu-
nity, during the last two sessions Of Congress,
to become fully acquainted with his character
and his worth, and knowing him to have been
high-toned gentleman and true patriot, pro-
pose that there shall be meeting Of bis anti
LecomptOn friends at Washington city, say in
December or January next, to take measurers
for the erection Of suitable monument to his
memory. He stood with us as moral hero
during the fearful Lecompton struggle, and
now that he has fallen martyr to our cause,
shall we suffer him to pass away without suit
able testimonial Of our respect and gratitude
Shall wo suffer the gush Of sorrow we feel at
bis death to die and let his memory go out for
ever? What say you, Colonel Forney, to the
suggestion? What say you, Judges Chapman
and Hickman, Of Pennsylvania What say
you, Haskin and Clark, Of New York, Adrain
of New Jersey, Davis of Indiana, Senator and
Representatives of Illinois, and the long line Of
worthy advocates Of ant-Lecomptonism?
What say you to the proposition? Let US at
least meet and hold a consultation on the sub
iect. We shall be unworthy of ourselves If we
prove ungrateful Of each other. II the proper
effort is made there can be no question but
that the hearts of the friends Of justice and
right will swell with greatful emotion, and that
they will pour in their contributions to the no.
BILE object.
Mr.. Broderick leaves no relations. There
runs not drop of his blood in the veins of any
human being and let us see to his fame He
sleeps his last sleep upon the far off shores of
the Pacific. but let the capital of the nation be
honored with monument to his memory, upon
which shall be inscribed an epitaph something
like the following:
THE EANTILECOMPTON FRIENDS
OF THE
HON. DAVID G. BRODERICK,
WHO FELL, WHILE SENATOR IN THE CONGRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES FROM THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA, BY THE HANDS OF
ONE WHO WAS THE INsTRU-
MENT OF A FOUL con-
SPIRACY,
A MARTYR
TO HIS PRINCIPLES. HAVE ERECTED
THIS MONUMENT
In honor of his moral courage and heroic OPP
position to the unjust demands aud malignant
spirit of the tyranical Administration OF
