Mr.. BrOderick at Quincy, PIumas county.

Mr. Broderick's speech at Quincy, on the
evening of the 2lst, was very able effort
1t is reported in the Union. We make room
for the following extract
state here tonight that it is the intention
of the Administration party, if they succeed
in obtaining majority in the next Legisla-
ture. to elect a successor to DR.. Gwin; and |
confidently believe, in case they do obtain
majority, Dr. Gwins reelection will be an
inevitable consequence. Fellow citizens, /
have intimated to you that have substantial
blows to give, as well as poorly directed and
weakly nerved strokes to receive l have
refrained heretofore from making accusations
against this man, not only because the bust
ness was distastefu to me, but for the reason
that knew he would give me ample provo
| cation for my attacks upon him, and thus
effectually relieve me from any charge Of
wantonness will not profess to you that
my disposition is too tender for the conflict
In his Forest Hill speech he perpetrates an
undoubted witticsm by stating that he would
not violate the law against cruelty to animals
by meeting me on the stump. His consci-
entious regard for my feelings expressed in
such an elegant and gentlemanly comparison
finds no response in my bosom. l neither
appreciate his forbearance, nor do believe
that if had the advantages which he claims
for himself and was in the position in which
| | know him TO be, that | would exhibit his
| gracious consideration. Possibly, if | con
sidered an opponent of mine to be of no high
er grade and of no more intellectual worth
| than q beast, | might take into consideration
before attempted to inhict direct and Sc
we're punishment upon him, whether he was
an obstinate animal and was likely to prove
dangerous under the merciless administration
of the rod. Laughter and cheers. OF course
| cannot say whether Dr. G wins reflections
extended thus far or not. give him credit
for not havirg been cruel or even severe in
his attacks upon me thus far, and | repeat
once more that would welcome the scourge
which he boasts of having in his hand assur
ing him that neither | nor my friends will
take advantage of any constitutional provi-
sions, or any statutory enactments to punish
him for "cruelty to an animal" in the event
that he falls savagely upon me and spares
not. Cheers. arraign VIM. NJ. Gwin here
tonight for having proved himself a bitter
and malignant opponent of the Homestead
Bill. [Cheers and Kisses. Willie Toombs, o.
