Judge of the District Court of Virginia; he was

dent lelks cabinet, first Attorney General and

rWThe basest and most contemplate charge
that has ever yet been manufactured by the oppo-
sitloniSs against the national democrats is that
Brodefck was Killed because he was Douglas man,
and tiis administration wanted to get him out of the

That 'rodeick.s death caused by the admins

charge as ii deserves to be. 1t is such an obvious
ervq qsion Of The truth that it should not be no.
iced bat it only bchooves to show such men in
their true light occasionally, in order that the pub
lie may may be able to judge between truth and
error. How such charge can be conceived
much less spoken Of a fact, cannot compre-
hend. 1t is true Mr. Broclick was Douglas
man, but ask who is { oils to believe that
Mr Buchanan had him slain upon that account
The President of the United States does not pos

hat Queen Victoria does over her subjects. If he
ID, cannot imagine how he could single out
nan to decaitate fer offence Of which so an y
l'e guilty. Better and stronger men than Mr.
3roderick have taken sides in favor of Douglas and
gainst the administration, and it is reasonable
rtulal suppose, if Nh Buchanan intended to take
rvenge he would seek the better and stronger
nan.
But it is nonsense, waste Of words to write upon
1his subject for every sensible well knows
t is base misrepresentation, the manufac
airers themselves think cannot believe their OWL
lnfoundcd assertion.
Nr. Broderck's untimely death is attributable tt
his acts. not to the mandates Of any one-th,
assertion Of his traduccrs to the contrary notwith
standing.
In this connexion we copy the following from th
San Francisco Herald, paper which should be, ant
certainly is more intimately acquainted with tn
circumstances than Mr. BIS traducers in the Atlanti
States.
Hh. 4 NIL Io., A. u -,
telligence Of the death of the Hon. David
Broderick, late Senator of the United States
from wound received in duel, his antagonis
being the Hon. D S. Terry, Chief j Justice of th
Supreme Court Of California. No affair of th
kind ever took place in this State that 81
grossly misrepresented. A studied attempt ha
been made to mislead the public mind in regart
to all its circumstances, and we have ltt
doubt that by to-day's mail the SANDERS 81
monstrously circulated among the people Q
California, will with equal industry be dlssem
mated throughout the Atlantic States. Q
this wlilfn perversion of facts We must acqualC
the immediate friends of the deceased Senator
For the most part, their sorrow at his loss ha
not made them unjust. The outery comes from
the Black Republicans, by whom the opportu
nifty has been seized with ferocious avidty t
take capital for their party.
The effort we are happy to say, has cntires
tailed. 1t is well know that the difficult
between Messrs. Terry and Broderick wa
wholly disconnected with the events of the lat
canvass Neither was it indentifed in an
singular particular with the antagonsm betwee
Messrs Broderick and OWN. Mr. Terry ha
never been friend of Mr.. G win he has neve
mad any affilation, personal or political, wit
that Senator, and furthermore we have th
most positive assurance that no friend of NJ
