also a matter of history. That Mr.. Bro
derrick should speak plainly, was to hav,
been expected after all that had taker
place in Washington and in California
But il was evident that be was a marked
man. Any one who has paid attention
to the California newspapers, viii re-
member how frequently it was predicted
that he would be shot down in the streets
We have noticed, during the caRpsigu
which terminated in September, in Cali
fornis, a number Of articles, in Admins.
tration journals, threatening the contin,
gency which has at last arrived, and in
one newspaper an individual was referred
to, we cannot say whether Judge Terry
or another person, as having been desig-
mated as the executioner of David g.
Brodsrick. In this connection it may be
well to add that Mr.. Perley. who chal-
lenged Mr.. Broderick at the beginning
of the canvass, (which challenge Mr..
Broderick declined, had been the law
partner of Chief Justice Terry. The rea-
der will perceive, from the whole history
of the last two years, that, so far as Mr..
Broderick was concerned, it was a fore
gone conclusion of the Administration
that he should be sacrificed. Their pur-
pose in this respect, unhsppily for them,
has not been concealed. The manner in
which they attempted to involve Stephen
A. Douglas in a personal quarrel at the
Federal Capital, is familiar to all. Their
outrages upon independent men in the
House, who refused to acquiesce in their
abandoned betrayal of principle, are
equally notorious. During all of Mr..
Broderick's participation in the move
ment against the Administration on the
Territorial question, his friends felt that
his life was in constant jeopardy, and
when he left for California, he seemed to
be impressed with the fact that he never
would see them again.
Many years ago, the American people
were profoundly excited by the Cilley
duel. A young Representative in Con-
gress, for certain words spoken in debate,
was entrapped into a conflict which he
was too intrepid to refuse, and went out
upon the field. and was slaughtered. But
Jonathan Cilley fell for an Administra-
ton, and in personal dif1iculty-David
G. Broderick has yielded up his life for
sacred principle. If he had surrendered
to the Establishments of the Administra-
ton, he might to-day be living among
his numerous friends. 1t was only be-
cause he refused to compromise the truth,
and to abandon his solemn pledges, that
we are called upon to mourn his untime-
ly death. Thus has closed pure, beau
tiful, and stainless life Thus has fallen

Mr. Broderick has been struck dow
in the fullness of his powers, and in tn
MORNING of his usefulness. Though bu
recently awakened to the nature and
moment of the "irrepressible conflict
whereof our Union is the arena, tn,
Slavery Propaganda had no more deter
mined and hardly a more effective an
tagonist. Though beaten in the contest
he had four years yet to serve in the Sen
ate-time enough, perhaps, to retrieve
his fortune and redeem his State. For
this, he would have labored with res
olution and courage that would have
deserved successes, if they did not command
it. But he was marked for destruction,
and could hardly have avoided that fate
Had Terry fallen, Denver would proba-
bly, have challenged him next, and Gwiu
or Latham third. He was never mar
ried, and leaves no family to lament his
untimely death. We presume Gov.
Weller will secure his seat in the Senate,
unless Judge Terry should claim it in
pursuance of Gov. Marcy's celebrated
axiom that ''to the victors belong the
spoils of the vanquished.'
California is henceforth a submissive
satrapy of tie Slave Power-as reliably
so as Arkansas or Florida-more so than
Missouri or Texas. Her delegates at
Charleston viii sustain any platform and
any candidates that 0ligarchy may pre-
scribe; and her four electoral votes viii
be given for slavetrader Lamar, or any
other Undertaking fiire-Oater, in case he
should secure the nomination. A gal
liant minority will struggle against such
degradation, but flor the present) strug-
gle in vain and if the shareholders
mean ever to press, the legalization of
their peculiar institution" within her
borders, now is their time. Hitherto,
Slavery in California has been upheld
only by judicial decisions, the last of
which was truly though jestingly said to
have held the scales of Justice even by
giving ''the law to the North and the
negro to the South" Henceforth, the
South may take law, negro, and all.
''And this, too. shall pass away"
In social life, Mr.. Broderick was one
of the most exemplary men that could be
found in any country. No clergyman,
no philauthropist. could feel more so than
Mr.. Broderick. He was never known to
enter gambling den or house of ill-fame;
and in business transactions or personal
dealings, his word was relied on as i'm
plicitly as though he had entered into the
most solemn written obligations for their
performance. For these traits OF char
acter Mr.. Broderick was great favorite,
and among no class of persons was he
stronger than with the clergymen of all
denominations. who looked upon him as a
strictly moral man.-EetO York Tribune.

FUNERAL GRAFTON OVER THE
BODY OF SENATOR Frederick.
BY COL. E. D. BAKER.

CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA A Senator
lies dead in our midst He is wrapped
in bloody shroud, and we, to whom
his tolls and cares were given. are about
to bear him to the place appointed for
all the living. 1t is not fit that such a
man should pass to the tomb unheralded;
it is not fit that such life should steal
unnOticed to its close it is not fit that
such death should call forth no rebuke,
or be surrounded by no public lamentation.
1t is this conviction which impels the
gathering of this assemblsge. We are

THE DISCUSSION.

The much talked Of, and looked for :
debate came of last Monday evening
in the Masonic Hall, between c. G. An
DREws. candidate for the Senate, and
STEPHEN MILLER, speaking trumpet Of
HENRY SwlssHELM, nominee cf the Re-
publican party for the same Office.
There was large number present
both Of Ladies and Gentlemen.
We certainly were happily and un-
happily disappointed: happily to see
Mr.. Andrews far exceed our high ex-
.pectations Of his ability -Mortified(!)
to see Mr.. Miller fall far below the ex-
pectation ofeyen his Republican friends.
Conscious that he made failure, ex-
cused himself on the ground that he had
bad cold. He started off by stating tina,
Mr.. Swisshelm was an cxcee dinghy mod
est man and 40 public mamie Miller
took i upon himself to speak for him.
We wondered, If, should Mr.. Swisshelm
be elected, he would appoint Miller or
some one more efficient to act az deputy
in the Senate chamber. VI
We have heard from the same party
q good many pretty sciool-boy speeches,
but Mr.. Miller certainly stands, Ia that
line, a, No. l. His speech abounded
in Observation-Disclosures from such
organs as the .Mianesoiian. and imported
thlrd-rate politicians, who know little Of
their own affairs at home and Ear less Of
ours. But knowing there was no truth
in the statements he made, he shielded
himself by saying he had not examined
the matter personally. but such and such
things were 50 stated BY good authority.
&c. But to keep up the tagging interest
ne would tell some funny story which
caused some ofthe boys 70 lasgb. Mr..
Miller missed his mark when he suppos-
ed he could palm Off upon the intelligent
citizens Of Sank Rapids such worthless
bosll for good sense. .s.
The audiance seemed to breathe essy
when the manly. digniied form of Mr..
Andrews arose. Il had been said bx
his enemies that Mr.. A. could not make,

ular course 70 follow N oppsnsnt.
