THE INTELLIGFNCER,
THE DEATH OF BRoDRRICR
TRIBUTEs RROu Tt4R ppps.


The murder of Broderick by Chief Justice
Terry, who, after Broderick's pistol had mis- f.
red, took deliberate aim and shot him down
has called out the following indignant comments
of the Press:
From the Cincinnati Gazette
The recent virulent political contest in Cali.
tornia has had most tragic end, in the homi>
eide of Hon. David c. Broderick, one of the
Senators from that State. He told too many
plain truths of the corrupt Lecompton leaders
IN California, on the stump and so excited their
aniInosity that they were determined, it appears.
to get rid of him, as they had done by one Of
tn their leading opponents on former occasion.
This is in accordance with what has been pre-
dicted by some of Broderick's friends. The Sc.
lectcd executoner, in this case, was Chief Jus.
tice Terry, Of the Supreme Court Of that State.
lie challenged Mr.. Brodcrick, who accepted,
and the duel was fought near San Francisco, on
the 18th uit. AT the first FIRE Broderick fell,
mortally wounded, his lungs having been pierre
ed by ball. He is reported to have died on
the 10th, intelligence which nc see no good
reason to discretit. Terry was unhurt, and
will pass the rest of his days under the constant
burden wh ch must ever rest upon the slayer Of
his tellow-men, under circumstances so dis
graceful to humanity.

There is another victim to free speech. An.
other free man has been struck down for his de-
Notion to the cause of freedom. Broderick, ike
Sumner, has been asSaed because he was OBJ
noxious to the slave power; but, with the same
yindictive spirit pursuing him, his assaiIants
have made surcr work than in Summers case.
The intention to slaughter Sumner was not sue
cessfnlIy carried out; but they have made sure
thing oft With poor Broderick.
they call duel; but the evidence is clear that
it was case ofassassination under a less repuI-
siye name. Broderick has fallen a martyr to
free principles-has been deliberately shot dou n
for his manly ut,erances against slavery extern
sion and his determination TO resist the schemes
of the administration leaders in that State. 1t
was not duel, but murder; and the blood of
the slaughtered Senator cries aloud from the
ground for vengeance upon his murderers.

From the Philadelphia Americana

Here is Senator of the United States hunted
down as though he were wild beast TO be
snapped at hy every hound aud shot at by every
fame Of man, woman OF child; not that he robbed,
cheated, stabbed, or wrongcd any one beyond
forgiveness; not that he was an outlaw beyond
the reach Of justice or legal punishment; not at
ali: but that he had merely, in open debate,
before his constituents, where all public men
meet to give an account of their acts, canvassed
the party in opposition to him, and more par>
ticularly by whom it was led.

A correspondent, who knew Mr. Broderick

To the EitOrs Of the NJ Y. Express
The death of the Hon. David Broderick by
dnel-a death, it would seem from all accounts.
Pre-ordained by his political adver saries in the
Democratic Party, will rouse many a sad feeling
mere IN this city, where Mr.. Broderick was well
known some 1Oor=l 10 years ago, though not
always 1e4 known for the company he kept.
he was generous friend, and an honorable
enemy, and he ever drew around him a large
circle OF admirers, who now will deplore his
untimcly death.

From P,rner,. pre..-

David c. Broderick has yielded up his life
for sacred principle If he had surrendered
TO the Establishments of the Administration, he
might to day be living among his numerous
friends. 1t was only because he refused to com.
promise the truth, and to abandon his solemn
pledges, that we now called upon to mourn
his nnIimely death Thus has closed pure,
beautiful, and stainless life! Thus has fallen
the first great martyr to the political principles
Of the campaign of 1861 i've ask the arch
traitor to those principles il, ia his old age, aud
IN the sunset of his life, he can feel that his
hands ale clear of the hearts blood of David Q.

The Progress of Republicanism.
4 Union OF Principle.

Not only is the Republican princi-
pie Opposition TO THE SPREAD OF
sLAvERY) extending in Missouri and
other Slave States, but it is fast leav-
ening the Pro-Slavery elements in
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
and Illinois, which, by the mad or
traitorous Fillmore movement, elect
ed Buchanan. "Straightism' is most
ly extinct, and the leaders Of it will
have only themselves to "scll'' in 1860;
the honest men who they betrayed in
1856, have left them.
The most imposing demonstration
of the strength and Of the concilia
ting progress of Rcpublicanism, was
exhibited in the recent Union or Poo
pies State Convention at Harrisburg.
The Platform adopted by that Con-
vcntion, is satisfactory, perfectly, TO
the great mass Of the Republican par
ty. We ask our readers to read that
Platform preserve it-and TO see
how nearly it resembles the views
that would be expressed by an open
Republican Convention. And yet
that was not exclusively such gath
ering. Some of those who came into
ii, came with a secret, affiliated
scheme to crush out all expressions Of
hostility toward the Giant Crime Of
our Nation, and to pervcrt it into 4
scheme for a new party destitute Of
ali vital principle. But those con-
spirators were themselves crushed
out by the determined will of the
frecmcn of the North. the West, and
of the honest, earnest masses through
out the State Their stand was in
the Committee, and, there defeated,
they wisely yielded, and made the best
Of necessity.
We trust the time-servinr, reckless,
unprinciplcd men of the Opposition
Gor every party has its good and
its bad men, will from this time try

and no longer endeavor to check the
intelligent will of the overwhelming
majority of those with whom they act.
Freedom is National, and Slavery is
Sectional" And We are happy to
see the Fillmore, the Douglas, and
the exclusive Old Line Wings of the
State, so cordially adopting the Plat
form and the Candidates Of the liar
risburg June Convention. On such
a platform only, National Union
can be formed. In the past we have
opposed each other so resolutely.
On this platform-where we now arc
agreed-let US see how large shall
be the majority, aud how emphatic
the record, against Buchanan and
Slavery extension.

Is he a Candidate, or Not?

On our outer form will be found
the carefully prepared banner" under
which Judge DOUGLAS will sail for a
few weeks, or perhaps months, to
come. We consider it very evasive,
non-committal affair. "lf,'-says he
in effect-"a majority of the Dele
gates arc my friends, and endorse NY
Democracy or 'squattcr sovreignty'
dogmas, they of course will erect my
Platform, and nominate ne. In that
Casc-iar in the future, and to be de-
determined only AFTER the Delegates
are chosen-I am a candidate. But if
my Buchanan enemies. with their
bred Scott decision against my squat
ter sovereignty, get the upper hand,
they of course will ignore my plat
form, and will not nominate Inc. In
THAT case, am NOT a candidate, and
would not take the nomination.
Gust as Jack wouldn't eat his supper ,
OF course, HE Is NOW DOING HIS
BEST TO GET THE DELEGATES, and will
try to get the majority; but if he
jaiLs, he is no candidate. Magnani-
nous, heroic statesman anybody can
take that prudent" course and be
perfectly safe. "lt | can secure ma
iority of the Delegates, l am in the
field; if not, not"
We defy anybody to say whether
Douglas is, or is not candidate. Ii
he can carry. he is if not, he is not
Heads, l win; tails, you lose" Nc
one can tell until the question is vir
tually decided, whether he is in the
field or not-whether he will take
the courage to face the music and
risk the Convention, or whether he
will hang back, uncertain, and let hi;
friends fight his battles without hi:
,nspiriting aid. We little expected
s9ch a cowardly course in the Little
Glant-"Douglas in his Hall |"
s1-But, candidate or not, it seem

Dreadful Accident.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-A dreadful acci-
dent occurred to q train on the Michigan
Southern Railroad last night, near South
Bend.
There were about $50 persons on the
train, thirty three of whom have been ia
ken from the ruins dead, and fifty or sixty
others wounded.
The stream where the accident occurr-
ed, which is naturally but rivulet, was
swollen by the extraordinary rains Of the
previous afternoon and evening, and the
drift wood brought down by the flood
choked the culver and converted the en-
bankment into dam. The great weight
of the water, with the conclusion caused
by the crossing Of the train, was the occa-
sion of the sad calamity.
The train was running at the time at
the rate of ten to twenty miles an hour.
The train coming west bad passed over
the embankment safely, only three hours
before the accident.
