BY DAVID OVER. AN ELOQUENT ORATION, On the Death of Senator Broderlcfc, by Col. E. D Baker. CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA : A Senator lies dead iu our midst! He is wrapped in a bloody shroud, and wo, to whom his toils and cares were given, are about to bear him to the place appointed for all tbe living. It is not fit that such a man should pass to the tomb unheralded; it is not fit that such a life should steal un noticed to its close; it is not fit that such a death should call forth no rebuke, or be sur rounded by no public lamentation. It is this conviction which impels the gathering of this assemblage. We are here, of every statioD and pursuit, of every creed aud character, each in his capacity of citizen, to swell tbe mournful tribute which the majesty of the people offers to the unreplying dead. Me lies to-day sur rounded by little of fuueral pomp. No banners droop above tho bier, no melancholy music floats upon tie reluctant air. The hopes of high-hearted friends droop like fading flowers upon bis breast, and the struggling sigh compels the tear in eyes that seldom weep. Around him are those who have known him best and loved him longest; who have shared rhe triumph, and endured tho defeat. Near him are the giavest and noblest of the State, possessed by a grief at once earnest and sincere ; while be yond, the masses of the people that he loved, an 1 for whom his life was given, gather like a thunder cloud of swelling and indignant gtief. In sneb a pre9euce, fellow-citizens, let us linger tor a moment at the portals of the toaib. whose sbftdowy arches vibrate to the public heart, to speak a few brief words of the map, of his life, aud of bis death. Mr. Broderick was born in the District of Columbia, in 1819; he was of Irish descent, and of obscure and respectable parentage; he had little of early advantages, and never sum moned to his aid a complete and finished educa tion. His boyhood, as, indeed, his early man hood, was passed in the city of New York, aud the loss of his father early stimulated him to the efforts which maintained his surviving mother and brother, and served also to fix and form his character even in his boyhood. His love for his mother was his first and most dis tinctive trait of character, and when his brother died—an early and sudden death—the shock gave a serious and reflective cast to his habits und his thoughts, which market! tiiem to the iasthourof his iife. He was always filled with pride, and energy, and ambition—his pride was in tho manliness and force of his character, and no man hid more reason. His energy wis manifest in the most resolute struggles with poverty and obscurity, aud bis ambition impelled him to seek a foremost place in the great race for honorable power. Up to the time of his arrival in California, bis life bad been passed amid eve its incident to snob a character. Fearless, self-reliant, open in bis enmities, warm iu his friendship, wedded to his opinions, and m irehing directly to bis purpose through and over all opposition, his career was chequred with success and defeat, lint even in defeat his energies were strength ened and his character developed. When he roacbed these shores his keen observation taught him, at once, that he trod a broad field und that a higher career was before bim. Ho liad no tal-e pride; sprung from a people and of a race whose vocation was labor, he toiled with his own hands, arid sprang at a bound from the work-sbop to the legislative hail y rom that hour there congregated around him und against him the elements of success and uefeat—strong Tiipndsbips, bitter enmities, high praise, malignant Clld.mni?s —But he trod with a free aud proud step that onward path whi :b has led him to glory and the g- ave - It would bo idle for me at this hour ana jn this place to speak of alt that history with un mitigated praise* it will be idle for his enemies nerealter to deuy his claim to noble virtuos and hlgb purposes. When in the Legislature he boldly denounced (be special legislation which is tut curse of a new country, he proved ins courage aud his rectitude. When he op posed the various and sometimes successful schemes to strike out the salutary provisions of the Constitution, which gu-rded free labor, he was true to all the better instincts of his life. When, prompted by his ambitiou and the ad miration of his friends, he first sought a seat in the Senate of the United States, tie sought the highest of all positions by legitimate effort, and failed with honor. It-is in. duty to say that, iu my judgment, vy have been your political predilections, it is impossible to repress your admiration as you review the oon duct of the man who lies hushed in death be fore you. i T ou read in his history a glorious imitation of the great popular leaders who have opposed the despotic influences of power iu other lauds, and in our own. When Johu llaiupden died on Chalgrove field, he sealed his devotion to popular liberty with his blood. The eloquence of Fox found the sources of its inspiration in his love of the people. When Senators conspired against Tiberius Gracchus, and the Tiibune of the people fell beueath their daggers, it was power that prompted the crime and demanded the sacrifice. Who can doubt, if your Senator had surrendered his free thought, aud bent in submission to the ruid of the Administration—who can doubt that, ;nt>tdsd of resting ou a bloody bier, he wouid bavo this day been reposing in the inglo rious felicity of it\'esi-®otial sunshine^ Fellow citizens, let Do suppose the: tue death of the eminent citizen 01 I speak, was caused by auy other reason n.~ n to which his own words assign it. It has o'J efl long foreshadowed; it was predicted by hie friends; it was threatened by his enemies; it was the consequence of intense political ha tred. His death was a political necessity, poorly veiled beneath the guise of private quarrel. Here, iu his own State, amoDg those who witnessed the late canvass, who know the contending lesdeis, among those who kuow the antagonists on the bloody ground—here, the public couvictiou is so thoroughly settled that nothing need be said. Tested by the cor respondence itself, there was no cause, iu mor als, in hoaor, iu taste, by auy cod", by the custom of any civilized land, there was no cause for blood. Let ine repeat the story —it is as britf as it is fatal: A Judge of the Su preme Court descends into a political conven tion—it is just, however, to say that the occa sion was to return thanks to bis frieuas for au unsuccessful support —iu a spoeoh bitter and persona! he stigmatised Seuator Broderick und all his friends in words of contemptuous insult. When Mr. iiioderick saw that speech ho re torted, saying, iu substance, that he had here tofore spokeu of Judge Terry as au houest man, but that LOW he took it back. When iu quircd of he admitted that he bad so s id, and connected his words with Judge Terry's speech as prompting th'-m. Bo far as Judge Terry personally was concerned, this was the cause of mortal combat; there was no other. Iu the contest which has just terminated in the State, Mr. Broderick had taken a leading part; he had been engaged iu controversies very personal in their nature, because the sub ject of pubiic discussion had involved the character and conduct of many public and dis tinguished UI6C. But Judge Terry was uotoue of these, lie was uo contestant; his couuuct was not in issue; he had beet mentioned but ! nce incidentally—in jeply to his own attack BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1859. —and, exoept as it might be found iu his pe culiar traits or peculiar fitness, there was no reason to suppose that be could seek any man's blood. When William of Nassau, the deliv erer of Holiaud, died in the preseuee of his wife and children, the band that struck the blow was uot nerved by private vengeauce. — When the fourth Henry passed unharmed amid the dangers of the field of Ivry, to perish in the streets of his capitol by the hand of a fa natic, he did not seek to avenge a private grief. An exaggeiatod senso of personal honor—a weak mind with choleric passions, intense sec tional prejudice, united with great confidence in the use of arms—these sometimes serve to stimulate the instruments which accomplish the deepest and deadliest purpose. Fellow citizens, one year ago, I performed a duty such as I perform to-day, over the re mains of Senator Fergusou, who died as Mr. Broderiuk died, tangled iu the meshes of the code of honor. To-day there is another aod a more eminent sacrifice. To-day 1 renew my protest; to day I utter yours. The code of honor is a delusion and a snare; it palters with the hope of a true courage, aud binds it at the feet of crafty and cruel skill. It surrounds its victim with the pomp and grace of the pro cession, but leaves him bleeding on the altar. It substitutes cold and deliberate preparation for courageous and manly impulse, and arms the one to disarm the other; it may prevent fraud between practised duellists who should be forever without its pale, but it makes the mere * trick of the weapon' superior to the no blest cause aod the truest courage. Its pro teuce of equality is a lie—it is equal in all the form, it is unjust in all the substance—tbe ha bitude of arms, the early training, tbe frontier life, the border war, the seotioual custom, the life of leisure—all these are advantages which no negotiation can neutralize, and which no courage can overcome. But, fellow citizens, the protest is not only spoken. In your words aud iu mine—it is written iu indelible characters, it is written iu the blood of Gilbert, in tho blood of Fergns- OD, in the blood of Broderick, and the inscrip tion will not altogether fade. With the ad ministration of the code iu this particular case, I am not here to deal amid passionate grief. Let us strive to be just. 1 give no currency to tumors of which personally I know nothing; there are other tribunals to which they may well be referred, and this is not one of tbem. Bat I am here to say, that whatever in the code of honor or out of it demands or allows a dead ly combat where there is not in all things en tire and oertain equality, is a prostitution of the name, is an evasion of the substance, and is a shield, blazoned with the name of Chival ry, to cover the malignity of uiurder. And now, as the shadows turn towards the East, and we prepare to bear those poor re mains to their silent resting-place, let us not seek to repress the generous pride that prompts a coital of noble deeds and manly virtues.— lie rose unaided and alone; be began b s ca reer without fainiiy or fortune, in the face of difficulties; he inherited poverty and obscurity; he died a Senator ia Congress, having written his uatno in the history of the great struggle for the rights of the people against the despot ism of organization and the corruption of pow er. He leaves in the hearts of his frieuds the tenderest and the proudest recollection?, lie was honest, faithful, earnest, sincere, geuerous, and brave, iie felt, in all the great crises of Lis life, that be was a leader iu the ranks aud for the rights of masses of men, and he could not falter. When he returned from that fatal field, while the dark wing of the Archangel of death was casting its shadows upon his brow, bis greatest anxiety was as to the performance of his duty, lie telt that all his strength and all his life belonged to the cause to which he had devoted them. "Baker," said he—and to me they were his last words—"Baker, when 1 was struck, 1 tried to stand firm, but the blow blinded me, and J could not." 1 trust it is no shame to my manhood that tears blinded uic as be said it. Of his last hours i have no heart to peak. lie was the lust of his race; there was 110 kindred, hand to smooth his couch or wipe death damps from his brow; but around that dyiug Deu strong men, the friends of early manhood, the dovoteu adherents of later lite, bowed in iirepressible gtwA "and lifted up their voice and wept." But, fellow citizens the voice of lamentation is not uttered by private friendship alone—the blow that struck bis manly breast has touched the heart of a people, and as the sad tidings spread, a general gloom prevails. Who now j shall speak tor California? Who be the iuter- ; pre tor of the wants of the Pacific coast? Who 1 jiau appeal to the communities of the Atlantic { who love tree labor? Whocau speak for mas- j ses of uieu with a passionate love tor the classes ! from whence he spruug? Who can defy the j blaudisbments of power, the insolence of office, the corruptions of administrations? What Lopes are buried with him in tho grave ! "Ah ! who that gallant spirit shall resume, Leap from Eurotas' bank, autt call tis from the tomb 1" But the last word must to spoken, and the imperious mandate of death must be fulfilled.— Tbus, O bravo heart! we bear thee to thy rest. Thus, surrounded by tcus of thousands, we leave thee to tbe equal grave. As in lite no other voice among us so rung Us trumpet blast upou tbe ear of ireeiuen, so in death its echoes will reverbeiate amid our mouutams aud our valleys, uutil truth aaa valor cease to appeal to the huuiau heart. The earth may ring from shore to shore With echoes ot a glorious name, but tie whose loss our tears deplore, lias left behinU him more than fame. . For 'vhcu the death-frost came to lie Upon his warm aud mighty heart, And quenched his bold and friendly eye, His spirit did not all depart. His love of truth—too warm, too 6trong, For Hope or Fear to chain or chill— His hate of tyranny and wrong, Burn in the breasts be kindled stilt, Live in the hearts that loved him still. Good frieud ! true hero ! bail and farewell! THE HARPER'S PERKY INSURREC TION [We announced last week, the outbreak of a serious insurrection at Harper's Ferry, Va. Below we give the particulars by telegraph and tbe mails.] HARPER'S FERRY, Oct. 18— 3 o'clook A. M.

Another rioter, a negro named Lewis Leary, who has just died, confessed to the particulars of the plot, which he says was coucocted by Brown, at a fair held in Ojhio, two months ago. The rioters have just sent out a flag of truce, saying that if they are not protected by the soldiers here at present, they will hang all they capture. STILL LATER—THE ARMORY STORMED. HAIDER'S FERRY, October 18, 8 o'clock.— The armory has just been stormed and taken, after a determined resistance. (Jol. Shutt approached with a flag of truce and demauded the surrender of the armory.— After expostulating for some time, the rioters refused. Tbe Marines then advanced and made a charge, endeavoring to break open the door with sledge hammers, but it resisted all tbeir efforts. A large ladder was then used as a batteriog ram, and tbe door gave way. The rioters tired briskly and shot three of tbe Marines, who exchanged shots through the partly broken door. The Marines then forced their way through the break, and iu a few minutes ull resistance was at au end. The rioters were brought out amidst the most intense excitement, many of the armed militia present tryiug to get an opportunity to shoot them. Oapt. Brown and his son were both shot; the latter is dead and the former dying. He lies in the armory enclosure. He talks freely, ma says that he is the old Ossawattomie Brown whose feats in Kansas have bad such wide notice.

Soon after storming the armory, four dead bodies of t the insurgents, who were shot dead, yesterday, were found within the enclosure. Captain Brown and his son are dangerously wounded. Only two of the insurrectionists are un wounded viz: Edwin Coppioh, white, from lowa, and Shields Green, colored, also from lowa. The party origioally consisted of twenty-two persons, of whom fifteen are killed, two mor tally wounded, two unhurt, and three escaped with the slaves on Monday morning. Soon after the assault on the armory some firiDg took place from the hills ou the Maryland shore, supposed to be "a parting salute" from Cook and big party, who left ou Monday uiorn ing. The firing was returned with a general volley, but both parties were too distant to do damage. A company of volunteers has gone ID pursuit of the fugitives. There are probably a thousand armed men now congregated here. Keiuforcements have been pouring in all uight from all parts of the surrounding country. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. YY ashingtou, October 18. The Secretary of War received a telegraphic despatch froui Col. : Lee, dated 7 o'clock, saying that he called on the rioters, who were barricaded in the engine j house on the Arsenal grounds, to surrender, I promising to protect them, until the wishes of j the President could be ascertained. This prop- I osition was made in order to save the lives of ; the prisoners who were in the custody of the i insurgents. This message was seut through ! Lieut. Stuart, of the First Cavalry. , The insurgents declined, whereupon at apre [ concerted signal from Lieut Green, the detach- I meut of Marines under bis command, who were neaf By, forcibly broke into the engine house, kiiiiug two of the rioters, and capturing the re mainder. Two of the Marines were wounded, one mortally. Ossawottomie Frown, the leader, is mortally wounded. Several officers of the arsenal were with the other prisoners, and all escaped un hurt. Ihe war Department has despatched orders for the troops from Norfolk, DOW at Fort Mo- Henry, to remain until further orders. The President, in view of the possibility of disaffection extending to this city, ordered, through the Mayor, the establishment of astroDP at tbe Ui iuinniavi Armory, and also at the armories of the military companies. The order was promptly obeyed by the Adjutant of the District Volunteer Regiments, Major P. F. Bacon. [From the Constitution , of ysterdny morning.] \esterday morning, despatches were received by the President and at the War Department, giving information of certain violent proceedings by a mob at Harper's Ferry. There was some conflict in the reports, and rumors of different I kinds were afloat, which could not be clearly I determined, in cunsequence of the telegraph j wires being cut. The following despatch, j however, appeared to be most correct and j reliable: CAMDEN STATION, BALTIMORE, 1 P. M. Hon. John B. Floyd, Secretary oj War?— Telcgraphie advices present a serious affair at 1 Harper's Ferry, where the United States armory and our bridges are in full possession of large bands of aimed men, said to be Abolitionists, but thought to be aruiory men. The guns from the armory have been taken for offensive use, and the leaders notified our men that no trains shall pass the armory or the bridge. Our offi cers were fired upon, and a laborer nearly kil led. The wires being cut we got our advices from the uext station, but they are entirely reliable, although they may be exaggerated in somo degree. Can you authorize the Govern ment officers and military from Washington to go on our train, at 3 20 this afternoon, to the scene, or send us full authority for volunteers from Baltimore, to act ? We will take them up on an afternoon express, if necessary.— Please udvise us immediately what the Govern ment will do, our operations on the road being in the meantime suspended. JOHN W. GARRETT, President Baltimore and Ohio R. R. Co. Orders were immediately scut to Old Point Comfort to forward three companies thence.— They would leave the Point last evening, reach Baltimore early this morning, aod push directly on to Harper's Ferry. Eighty mirines from the Washington navy yard left this city last evening for the same place. Col. It. E. Lee, of the United States Army, takes command of the troops. THE PERILOUS BALLOONING. * ' The public has already been informed of the o.afe urrival at Ottawa, 0. W., on the 3d inst. of Prof. La Mountain and Mr. Haddock, who ascended in the bailoon Atlantic from Water towu, New York, on the 22d of September, and for whose safoty much fear was felt. Mr. Haddock has written a long but interesting ac count of their wanderiug aud suffering iu the wildcoss. It appears the balloouists were up iu the air some four or five hours, when finding themselves over a dense wilderness, aud the darkuess of the Dight around them, they con cluded to descend. They did so and passed the uight in the balloon fastened to the the top of a tall spruce tree, aud exposed to a dreuch iug raiu. At daylight they again ascended, and here we leave Mr. Haddock to speak for himself. "As the current was driviug us still to the north, we dare not stay up, as we were drifting farther aud still farther to tho "frnz u tide" from which we knew ihere could be no eseupo. Mr. Li Mountain seized the valve cord and discharged gas, and we deccnded in safety by the side of a large spruce. We made the At lanhc fast by her anchor, and for a moment talked over what wc should do. We had not, a mouthful to eat —no protection at night from tbe damp grouod— c" earthly hope of raising VOL. 32, JfO. 44. fire, and DO distinct idea as to where wo were. We settled in our own minds that we were in Johu Brown's tract or in the great Canadian wilderness—to the sonth by east would take us out if we had strength enough to travel the distance. La Mountain stepped up to the bal loou and gave the edge of the basket a part ing shake, "Good bye, old Atlantic," and 1 funcied I could see a tear in his honest eje when he said it." A minute accouut of their wanderings in a dense forest is then given. They traveled miles on foot along a creek, crossed and re crossed it on a log, slept on its banks, suffered intensely meanwhile from and wet weath er. Subsequently they formed a raft, and on this slowly proceeded on by poling it, in the hope of reaching some habitable settlement.— Here we qnote : 4 1t had now been four full days since we ate a meal. All we bad eat in the meantime was a frog apioe, four clams, and a few wild berries, whose acid properties and bitter taste had probably done us more harm than good. Our strength was beginning to fail very fast, aod our systems were about to undergo an ex traordinary change. I did not permit myself to think of food—the thought of a well cover ed table would have been too much. I tLougfct over all of poor Strain's sufferings on the Isth mus of Darien, where he, too, Was paddling a raft down an unknown stream; but never be lieved we could staud half the amount of suf fering he did. Besides, he had means to make a fire—we bad none. He was upon a stream which he knew would lead to the sea and safe ty — we were upon waters whdbe flow we really knew nothing of, and were as much lost as though in the mountains of the moon. But we "could not give it up so," and took fresh courage as troubles appeared to thicken." fcoon after they heard the report of a gun, and the two lost men paddled their raft in the direction whence the report came, a distance of nearly a mile. Seeing a shantee, Mr. Haddock rushed on shore. Here we quote again : "I halloed—a noise was heard iuside, and a noble looking Indian came to the door. "Foas parley francais was my eager inquiry, as I grasped his out stretched band. "Yes sir; and English too." He drew me into the cabin, and there was the head of the party, a noble hear ted Saabdu* tun -, nanitul A notin i laiww*- 1 immediately told my story —that we came io with a balloon, were lost, and had been four days without food—asking where we were.— Imagine iny surprise when he said we were one bundled and fifty miles due notth of Ottawa— in a dense uninhabited forest, whose only limit was the Artie circle. In a word, we iftre nearly three hundred miles in a due north course from Wat r:uwu, in latitude 47. "Dinner was now ready. Tbe party con sisted of four persons —Mr. Cameron and bis arsistant, who was also named Cameron. La Mab MacPuugal, a half-bread, and his SOD Beauccil. J. dispatched the young Indian after La Mountain who came in after a moment the absolute picture of wretchedness. All that the cabin contained was freely tendered us, and wc began to eat. Lauguage is inadequate to express our sensations while doing so. The clouds had all lifted from our sombre future, and the 'silver liuing" shoDe all the brighter for the deep darknees through whiob we had passed." reward of honesty. Johnny Moore is the name of a bright-eyed, jolly-faced lad, twelve or fourteeu years of age, whose invalid and widowed mother, living on Morgan street, he helps to support by the sale of new-papers and such errands as he may chance te fall in with. Yesterday morning he chanced to stumble against a large pocket book, which ho picked up and found to contain a large number ot bank notes and papers. While he was meditating on the sudden riches be had amassed, aud which be had slid into a capacious pocket, or perhaps racking his youthful mind whether to seek for the* owner or conceal his good fortune, a gentleman rush ed by him in an anxious, hurried, uervous manner, which convinced the boy that he was looking for something, and be thought he knew what. "Have you lost anything ?" asked Johnny. "Yes, my pocket book," was the gentleman's answer ; "have you seen it?" The little fellow "expeoted" be had ; be didn't know, though. What kiud of a pocket book was it ? "This led to au adjournment to a neighbor ing store, where tbe flushed aud almost breath less individual "of the first part" proceeded to say that the pocket book was a black one, con taining $1,200 in bauk bills and some accounts, a strip of red morocco binding underneath the flap being inscribed "Robert Thomas, Uoviog tou Ky." Tbe description tallied, and John, ny's eyes snapped with cheerfulness as ho placed the treasure, just as he had found it, into the stranger's hand ; aud we opine there was a greater joy in tuat one act thau SIO,OOO could have purchased at the expense of a guil ty conscience. Mr. Thcmas hardly seemed to know which to feel most—relief ou the recovery of bis money and papers, or gratitude to the ltd and adunraiiou of Lis houesty. Taking Johnny by the hind, whcsi bouuding heart (he knew not why) bad by this time "splashed tears into his eyes," the gentleman took him to a clothing store and dressed him cat, from top to toe, in a bran new suit. Teen proceeding to a jewelry store ho purohased a good silver watch, upon which he directed to he engraved these words : "Robert Thomas to Little Jobnny Moore. St. < Louis, September 3, 18a9. Houesty is the best policy" Not even cor,leu; with this the generous stranger placed
