Over this again tho veil has been carefully
and closely drawn by ,hs guardians Of Mr..
Douglas fame. His admirers nave acted
wisely, as il has prevented, doubtless, many
unpleasant, surmises and suggestions. To
that beldest, trusss, and creates. OF all the
warriors in the battle for the right, David
G. Broderick, is Mr.. Douglas indebted for

certainly have engulphed him-from stain

Of the present dynasty, and ut atime when
he had right to expect ali possible aid from

broken in spirit, and who had reason to

A. Douglas but discharged the duty he sa-
.redly owed him, he would have gained u
victory for freedom in California, and
v xould, to- day, in my opinion, be living 10
the land and acknowledged as one OF the
forsmos. men in the Republic. He laid
down his life to attest his sincerity; many
professed to love him will, in wild revel
and reckless exultatiop, utter the name OF
him who could not find time nor opportunity
10 speak a word in eulogy over the grave of
The departed votarv. iuscrlbe the name OF
Broderick in fiery character upon your ban
ners-he was your cham mpion-and you at

n peace on the heights Of the proud city OF
he Pacific, where no iugratitude can longer
wound him, relieved from the warfare OF
aeartless factions, and where his ashes will
remain an eternal memento OF bis faith and
ri, confidence in the ultimate triumph OF q
iown- troddsn humanity.
