The Alleged Cause for Shooting Broderick.
[From the Sacramento Bee, Sept. 12.)
The facts are like this: the Anti-Lecempton
State Convention, of June last, was beld in this
city ove week in advance of the
Convention, Judge Terry was a candidate before the latter for 4 re-nomination, and was defeated. On the last night of the sitting of that
body, all the prominent defeated candidates
were called to the stand, the Judge among
them. He made a short and spirited address,
iu which he said, among otber things, after asking who was opposed to the party to which he
belonged :
“They [the Anti-Lecomptonites] are the followers
of one man, the personal chattels of a ¢ individual, whom they are ashamed of, They belong heart,
soul, body and breeches, to David C. Broderick.
They are yet ashamed to acknowledge their master,
and are calling themselves, aye, forsooth, Do 3
Democrats. hen it is known, well known to them
as to us, that the gallant Senator from Illinois,
whose voice has always been heard in the advoeacy
of Democratic principles, who now is not disunited
from the Democratic party, has no affiliation with
them, no feeling in common with them. Perhaps,
Mr. President and gentlemen, I am mistaken in
nying their right to claim cg as their leader,
erhaps they do sail under the of Douglas, but .
it is the banner of the black Douglas, whose name
is Frederick, not Stephen.”
Broderick bad read this, and while at break.
fast one moruing, at the Luternational Hotel,
San Francisco, entered into conversation with
those near him on the subject, aud stated that
he bad ouce expressed the opinion that “Judge
Terry was the oaly upright man upon the Supreme Beveb, but be believed he would now
buve to take that back.’’ Mr, Perley, a friend
of Terry, and once bis law partuer, took offense
at this, aad replied sharply, Some further remarks were made, and Broderick in the beat of
the moment expressed bis sorrow that the Vigilance Commitiee did not bang Terry when it
had him in custody. The result was that Perley challenged Broderick, and the latter refused tu accept on several grounds, and also stated that be would vot accept a challenge from
any person until after the ection, On el ctiou day, Terry in company with Perley, left
this city for San Franciseo, the Judge bLaving

boat going dowa that Terry intended to chal
lenge Broderick,
he Judge. we believe. balted at Benicia,
went to Stockton for his physician —Dr, Aylett
—wnd left overland for San Francisco, Terry
sent Broderick a peremptory challenge. Broderick, through bis friends, desired to know the
particular offers: he bad given, or the language
‘. be bad used, which caused the challenge—ard
whether it had avy thing todo with bis dificalty with Perky. The a ewer was, we hear, that
it bud no direct reference to the Perley matter,
but to the Jauguage used, about that time, by
Brodvrick, in which he expreesed bis regret that
the Vigilance Committee bad not huog the
Judge. To this Brodeviek’s friends replied that
while be spoke thus io a moment of excitement,
such were vot hie sentiments or the feelings of
his heart; for be did not wish to have that body
bang any man, and that he was willing to ac.
knowledge this publ cly; but, as it was calkd
out by what Judge Terry bad said of Broderick
at the Lecompton State Convention, iu Benton’s
chureh, Terry should also withdraw what he
had said of Broderick upoa that occasion. This
Terry peremptorily refused to do; bence, there
was no course left but to fight.

The above is the simplest record of an set of
brutality, that is, alus, ocither too inhuman or
reckless, to be infrequent. We have every reason to believe that simtlar grievances have occurred that have never beea brought to legal
investigation, And we had oot long einge
chronicled one, where through technicality of
the law, the offender went “uowhipt of justice.”
If the affair ended with the punishmeut of the
crime, well and good. But unfortunately, it
does not,
For every wanton and unprovoked attack
upon these miserable beings whom our law, and
common bumanity declares we should protect,
a wicked retaliation is sure to follow. When
the first transgrestor escapes the law, this retribution falls upon some unoffending man. Thus
doves injustice beget injustice and erime beget
crime. Indian outrages have been committed
that might be traced directly to the perpetration of some such barbarity as that reeorded
above. We cannot see that retaliation vate .
euch circumstances is a bit more reprehensible
than the provocative uet, And it is a painful
reflection that the provocation is usually the
work of the white civiligor,--Northern Californin,
