DETERMINED TO ABUSE IIM.-A short time
ago, the Buchaneer papers abused Broderick
on the charge of beinga Fighting man.
Now they abuse him for not being fight
ing man" because he refuses to descend to
Perley. They blow hot and blow cold in the
same breath. Argus.
Let the hot booded fellows pitch in. !"
They are wonderfully chiyalric when they
spit their feeble venom upon one of our u
S. Senators who says that he will attend to
no fighting business during the campaign. 1t
is the opinion of many that some of these
same valiant men would address letters to
Er Broderick, as complimentary to him, as
%as that one signed by old Massa Gwin, in
which he recognized in Broderick a fierce
though manly opponent if Mr.. Broderick
were to but signify his desire to have it done.

SENATOR BRoDERIcKs SPEECH AT PLACER
vrILE-We furnish this morning a lengthy
extract from the speech of Senator Broderiek,
delivered at Placervlle on the 9th inst 1t
is published entire, in the Union, and has al
ready been eagerly perused and commented
upon by thousands of the people oF the State
Mr. Broderick has greatly elevated his repu-
tation by this his first effort on the stump
He deals in facts, and presents them with
brevity, clearness, simplicity, and force. His
speech is not the stereotyped harangue of a
worn out demagogue it is the utterance of a
sober ptdn 'rho has something to say 1t is
not filed with giddy rhetoric, neither is it
adorned with classical illusions The speak
er evidently relies upon the justice and deep
Importance Of his cause, and "speaks right
on, what we ourselves do know" He de-
tends himself from the personal and political
attacks of malignant mercecaries, who are as
much his interiors in intellect, honesty and
morality, as they have sometimes proven
themselves to be in moral and physical cour-
age. II recalls to the public mind his polit
ical antecedents aud refuses to admit that he
is the less Democrat because he would not
desert. the Cincinnati Platform with Buchanan
and Gwin. Inspired with consciousness of
having done right in his high office, he asks
that his enemies confront him with his acts
and votes in the Senate, and seems confident
that the people will do him that justice
which is not to be withheld from faithful |
public servant, at the command of insane,
parisans, or Federal dependents whose sup
plies have been reduced We do not sup
pose the speech will please the Lecompton
press. We mistake Mr. Broderick very much
if he intended that it should. 1t is certain,
however, that among men who do not belong
to the administration of James Buchanan,
the speech will create a deep and favorable
impression, and will be admired for its ener-
gy, eloquence and truth
Mr. Broderick is to speak in this city on
Thursday evening, the l4th inst.
GRArIFYING.-The numerous (?) readers of
the Express will no doubt be greatly delight
ed to lenrn that the editor of that paper is
getting dissatisfied with his own ignorance
of the classics, and has come to the praise
worthy determination of devoting portion
Of his leisure hours to their study. As an
evidence that he means to be thorough, he
begins with the orhogrdphy of the name of
the worlds great poet. Having succeeded
in learning to spell his name correctly, he
next proceeds to the study of dates, and as
certains that the great author lived and |
wrote about two centuries and half ago |
When we reflect that all this knowledge has
been gained within the past two days, we
really do feel very much encouraged to go on
in our work with the uniformed literary tastes
Of uery yo,mg men, BY reference to the
Dictionary, in our City Libra
ry, it will be seen that there is as good au-
thority for our spelling of the dramatsts
name, as for any other.
