his energy Of character, INTEGRITY aud fidelity

Mr. Hickman spoke of Mr.. Broderick as
Gods instrument for mighty purposes. Those
that thought him less than a philosopher never
knew him His every nerve was exerted to
dignity labor. It might be said that there was
but one Bfoderiek to walk the earth. He was
Just and generous gifted, and noble, pure aud
patriotic. He raised poverty into rank, proving
the Legitimacy Of its blood. His fame would
be as enduring as the records Of public virtue.
Mr.. Burlingame spoke Of his friend as .
democrat without being a demagogue who
loved the people but never betrayed them, and
after they discovered these traits Of character,
he won their regard. He bad an indomitsble
will, under the power Of which, party names
and party discipline disappeared. Men forgot
that they were Democrats or Republicans but
called Sthemselyes BrOderick men. Scornfu

very point which made hin the advocate Of the
peoples rights. sf
Mr.. Morris Of H., spoke Of Mr.. BrOderiek

Of character. What bad he dOEe that he should
die by the hand Of Violepcel II he had been
less independent be would have been a living
man to-day. He was q moral hero and alike
scorned the smiles and eOrruptions Of pow.
er, calling things by their right names. Nc
Senator in so short time ever acquired so wide
spread fame. When the rUll Of California
statesmen shall be called on the Judgment Day
and BrOderick is snquirsd fer, more than ont
voice will reach the ear Of Jehovah saying
: cam my brothers kesperi"
