history of his deceased friend, believing his

for the poor and humble who have only
wealth of intellect. They were school boys

his friends and the respect of his enemies
for his energy of character, integrity, and
fidelity to his friends. Broderick had no
superior.

knew him. His every nerve was exerted
to dignity labor. 1t might be said there was

was just and generous gifted aad noble,
pure and patriotic. He raised poverty into
rank, proving the legitimacy of its blood.
His fame would Ice as enduring as the re-
cords of public virtue. 8 fE5 @ ~f

party names, and party discipline, disap-
peared men forgot that they were Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, and called themselves
Broderick men. Scornful of corruption
and tyranny, in the grandeur and purity
of his public and private character.
Morris, of Ills, spoke of Broderick rails
| ing himself above the smiles and corruptions
of power, calling things by their right
names. No Senator in So short time, ever
acquired so widespread fame. When the
roll of Caliiornia's statesmen shall be called
on the Judgment day, and Broderick is en-
! quired for, more than one voice viii reach
the ear of Jehovah, "Am | my brothers
keeper2"
