murder when "P.rty" called for the

murder when "Psrty" called for thu
crime.
The murder of Hamilton by Burr was
as nothing compared with the deliberate
premeditated assassination Of Broderick
There was personal grievancein the for.
nner case. In the latter Terry was mere.
ly the first Of = band Of administration
assassins resolved to take Broderick' 8
life in duel Terry was the first to chsl-
lenge him. Had his bullet failed, other
challenges would have been sent until the
deadly end was attained. Broderick
knew this, and, as it seems to us wick
eddy and foolishly, went out with Terry.
But his error cannot palliate the crime
Of his murder. With his dying breath
he charged his death upon the Admins
tration party. That charge they have
never sought to repel. And now James
Buchanan, whose hair is Already whitened
for the grave. appoints the second of Ter
ry, and his accessory in the murder of
Broderick, to the District Attorneyship |!
His duty it is to prosecute those who vi
olate the laws of the United States yet
he is himself aw-breaker and a muir
derer.
What animosity and violence of hate
does this appointment betray Broder-
lex refused to bow down to Slavery and
the dictates of the Administration. The
Administration procure his murder, and
then the President appoints the chief MUIR
derer's assistant who had deliberately in
suited his principals victim, to a posi-
ton of emolument and honor. Over an
open grave most men forget snimosities.
But this james Buchanan, who is so reg
ular in his attendance at church, and has
so much to say about providence" and
''Divine support" looking upon the
grave of a man murdered by his sup
porters, rewards that one Of the band who
made the murder an ignominyl Bu-
shanah's cant of devotion shall avail
him nothing. Through all the future
time he shall be known as "the President
that REWARDED murder !'
