Hon. D. C. Brionciircir—Sfr : Some two months
since, at the publia table of the International.
Hotel, in San Franolseo,.you saw fit to indulge in
certain remarks concerning me, which wore orlon.
sive in their nature. Before I had heard of the
circumstance, your note of the 29th Juno, ad.
dressed to B. N. Perloy, 'in which you declared
that you would not respond to any call of a per
sonnl character, during the political canvass Just
concluded, had been published.
I have, therefore, not been permitted to take
any notice of those remarks until the expiration of
the limit fixed by yourself. I now take the ear
liest opportunity to require of you a retraction of
thoao remarks, This note - will be handed to you
by my friend, Calhoun Benham, Brq., who is cc.
quainfed with its contents, and will receive your
reply. b. S. Maar.

of yesterday are as follows: "I have heretofore
considered and spoken of him (myself) as the only
honest man on the Supreme Court Bench; but I
now take it all back;" thus, by implication, redact

the substanco of, your remarks, as reported to nie ;
the preeiselerms, however, in which audit an im
plication was conveyor" aro, not important to the
question. You yourself' can best remember the
forms in which' you spoke of Ino on tho occa
sion referred. to.", What I require is, the retraction
of any words Which were used caleidatoft to reflect
en lay character as an officer or n gentlemen.
I remain year obedient servant,

THE BRODERICK•TERRY DUET,.
[From the San Franeisec Times)

the community, the expected duel between the
lion. David C. Broderick, United States Senator
from California, and the Hon. David S. Terry,
Judge of the Supreme Court, took

on the ground that no offence had yet been com
iuitted. We now propose to detail the subsequent
cirournstances. Tho parties went out of town
immediately after the decision. and

night in separate localities, each preparing for the
inevitable event of the morrow. Mr. Broderick
was at the Lake House, and slept there. • Mean.'

through .Monday evening, and at an early, hour
yesterday morning,hundreds were on the gat
anxious to witness tho rencontro ;for a duel he-,
tween United States Senator and a State Sot
promo Judge *as no ordinary occurrence, and, in
dependent of this fact, the largo' number of per

made it a Matter of unusual importance. Since'

equalling this in its effect upon all Minds hue

been made that few, if any, were aware of its torn-.

tures to the feast, led oath and all to the place.
This was in a Small valley, some two hundred pads
in extent. To reach this place it was necessary to
pass out over :the groat county rood towards San
Jose, and turning off at the Lake house rani,
make the detour of the lake, whence:a 'Circuitous,
by-path led to the ground. A small wooden frame
building was passed on the right. then a boundary
fence, then another fence and a date, beyond wiiich
lay the scene of the duel. This was about ten mks
from the city.: It seas a mall valley surrounded
by low hummecke or hills; the ea, sandy , as is
the ease with all that region, and produeing a law

seven persons in all. The sun ran clear in a bright

ing his left hand and shoulder well - behind-111m:
Mr, Broderick, on the contrary, though at-first
assuming a position somewhat , similar to that of
tho other, seemed• to prefer a more protean' and
lose constrained one, and gradually presented more
of lulu .body tho• tiro of his opponent. Rik
pistol heheld in his hand 'rather awkwardly; and

aye rapidly along the ground from lain to his own
position, no if drawing a - beo lino between than.
.From that time he did not raise his eyes until the
word was given to fire. Once his right foot. got a
fraction beyond the lino, when Mr. .McKibbiii
stepped forward and replaced it.
-Both mon were perfectly cool, and manifested no
uneasiness. A malicious rumor, characteristically
malignant, and as hero es It is possible to conceive.
that "Air. Broderick was nervous, and lost his
presenoo of mind." is poorly false. Not the
slightest shado of trepidation marked his conduct
from first- to Inst. The saran porngeons, adaninn
tine man ho has ever shown himself to be ho was
on this OCCIIHi01), We have given the minutest de.
tails of the bearing of both gentlemen, that no mis
take may possibly obtain in this reipect. The
rumor of Mr. Droderielt's nervousness"
terly false, and is hosed upon hisocensionni motions
to ohcerve those prescribed positions of hand and
arm which hisaeconds hod enjoined upon him. The
bearing of Judge Terry, though ho aseumed a more
practised and motionlesi attitude, wos not one jot
more that of nn tree-nerved man than was that of
Mr. Broderick. At a quarter before coven olefeek
Mr. Coulter pronounced the words—
"Are you ready?"
"Ready." responded Judge Terry, and ."Readr
was uttered by Mr. Broderick immediately after',
" Piro !—Ono ! two!" pronounced in moderately
quick time.
Mr. Broderick raked his pistol (both weapons
were set with hair triggers), and had scarcely
brought it to on angle of forty-firs degrees fine--
its downward position, and in a bee lino towar,6
his opponent, when, owing to the delicacy of the,
hair trigger, it was discharged, the hall ento`r

Judge Terry fired a few instants later, taking de
liberate aim. Thole was a perelitible interval In
the two reports. - At that instant Mr— Broderiok
was observed to clap his left howl lb the right siele•
of his breast*, when it MS seen Olathe was wound
ed, no reeled slowly to the left, 'and before his
seconds could reach him lie fell (not heavily) to
the ground, with his right leg doubled under him,
and still grasping lds 'weapon. Judge Terry upon
discharging his pistol, Immediately folded biS
arms, bolding the pistol still smoking in his hand,
but did not move front his position. The seconds
of Mr. Broderick instantly run to his aid, and Pr.
Loehr commenced to Atnunch•tho wound with lint.
The bullet hod entered just forward of the right
nipple nod had lodged, no it was supposed, under
the left ann. Mr. Benham went over to the other
Ado and tendered the services of Pr, limn:110m
which wore gladly accepted by Mr. McKibbin•
The spectators were not allowed to gather around
the Mon gentleman, who was soon after borne
into town in his carriage.

Previous to this. Judge Terry, with hie friends.
left the field, and driving rapidly into town, started
at once for North Beach. where a boat wasdn'svait
log, and proceeded to Oakland. where ha took is
private conveyance to Martinez. A telegraphic
despatch, received late last night from that point;
states that judge Terry, on his arrival at Marti
nez, found some diffieulty in getting ferried aeross
to Benicia. Both in Martinez and the letter place
flogs were. raised at half mast, caused by the false
reports of Mr. Broderiek's death. On his arrival
at Benicia, Judge Terry took overland conveyance
to Sacramento.

friend, Leonidas Reshot!, Erg , at Block Point,
nearly two mitre from the Plaza, and woo anted in
a bed with his face towards the bay, and propped
-up with pillows. Rem Drs. - Loehr, Sawyer, and
'Rowell attended on him during tho day, and hun

learn the worst. There appexed little likelihood
of his recovering. lie was able to speak during

-In town the excitement exceeded anything we

were constantly brought in—some that Mr. Bro

was alreadyclead, which was posted on the various
bulletin beards. This was soon contradicted.

When John Hampden died on Cbalgrove-field, ho
settled his devotion to popular liberty with his
blood. The eloquence of Pox found the sources of
its inspiration in his lore of tho people. When
Senators conspired against Tiberius Graeohns, and
the Tribune of tho people foil beneath their dag
gers, it was power that prompted -tho crime and
demanded tho sacrifice. ll'ho can doubt, if tour
Senator had surrendered his free thought. and boat
in submission to tho rule of Abe AdministrationL
who eau doubt that, instead of resting on n bloody
bier, ho would have this day been reposing in the
inglorious felicity of Presidential sunshine ?
Fellow-citizens, let no man suppose that the
death of the eminent citizen of whom I speak
NMI caused by any other reason than that to
which his own words assign it. It hos been long
'foreshadowed ; it was predicted by his friends;
it was threatened by his enemies; it was the con
sequence of intense political hatred. His death was
a political necessity, poorly veiled beneath the gnise
of private quarrel. Here, in his own State, among
those who witnessed the into canvass, who know
the contending lenders, among those who know
the antagonists on the bloody . ground—herc.
the public conviction is so thoroughly Settled
that nothing need be said: Tested by the cor
respondence itself, there was no cease, in
morals, in honor, in taste, by any code, by the
custom of any civilized land, there was no cense
for blood. Let pie repeat the story—it is es brief
as it is fatal: A Judge of the Supreme Court de
scends Into n political convention—it is just, how
ever, to any that the occasion was to return thanks
to his friends for en unsuccessful-support--in
speech bitter and persomil ho stigmetized Senator
Broderick and ell his friends in words of contempt
uous insult. When Mr. Broderick saw that speech
ho retorted, saying. in substance, that ho hod here
tofore spoken of Judge Terry no an honest man.
hut that he new took it book. When inquired of
ho admitted that hn had so said, end connected his
words with Judge Terry's speech ns prompting
them. So for as Judge Terry personally was con
cerned, this was the cause of mortal combat; there
was no other.
In the contest which hoe just`terminated in the
State. Mr. Broderick bad taken a lending port; ho
bed been engaged in controversies very personal in
their nature, because the subject of public discus
sion had Involved the Character end conduct of
minty public and distinguished men. But Judge
Terry was not one of those. He woe no contestant ;
his conduct was not in issue; ho lied been, men
tioned but, once incidentally—in reply to his own at
tack—nod, except as it might be found in his peon
liar traits or peculiar fitness, there was 110 reason
to suppose that he could. seek tiny man's blood.
When William of Nassau. the deliverer of Holland;
died in the presence of his wife and .children, the
hand that struck the blow was not nerved by pri
vote vengeance. When tho fourth Henry passed
unharmed amid the dangers of the field of Ivry,,to
perish in the streets of his capital by the handof
a fanatic, he did not seek to avenge a private grief.
An exaggerated sense of personal honor—a weak
mind with choleric passions, intense sectional pre
judice, united with greateonfidence in the use of
arms—these sometimes servo to stimulate the in
struments which accomplish the deepest and dead-
Hest purpose.
Fellow,eitizens! Ono year ago, I performed a
fluty such an I perform to-day, over tho' remains of
Senator Ferguson, who died as 111 r. Broderick
died, tangled in the meshes of the code of honor.
To-day there is another and a more eminent sacri
fice. To-day I renew my protest; to-day I utter
yours. Tho code of honor is a delusion and a
snore; it palters with the hope of a true courage,
and hinds it at the feet of crafty and cruel skill.
It surrounds its victim with the norap anal grace of
the precession, but leaves him bleeding on the nl•
tar. It substitutes cold and deliberate prepara
tion for courageous and manly impulse, and arms
the ono 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," suporior to the noblest cause and
the truest courage. Its pretence of equality is a
lie—it is equal in all the form, it is unjust in all the
substance—the habitude of Arms,timearly training,
the frontier life, the border war, the sectional cm-

BRODERICK
(Prom 00 Won Francisco Daily Tithes, Wept.ll.l ;
In the year 1819 there conic, tieing the crowd
et' 'adventurers to California; from the city of Now
York, a younguien by the name of David C. Brod
erick. In that city he bad achieved some reputa
tion as a local political leader,,but beyond that,
he was totally unknown: 'He had coma up front
the lower Walks of.lifo,' and was possessed of nano
of the graces of ' manners, none -of the winning
and popular qualities that mOOlllO to their pi+
sessor the support and approbation of the
masses. But he had far-reaching sagacity and
an intuitive perception and knowledge of meti.
Ile Eau' that hero was the field to.make money, and
that money was power. His ambition wee of the
loftiest kind. Ho bent his whole energies to no
.
quirt) a name and fame. With no relatton on earth
to whom he was attn.:led, no taste for the amuse
ments that charm the multitude, he lived frOm first
.to last MI ascetic, bent only on doing his. tlnty, so
that he should leave an honorable and honored
name on the page of history. With this idea es
the governing principle of his life, ho entered the
lists in - the struggle for p . m-eminence in'Culifornia.
Bow well be succeeded now.known to us all. '
Of the early efforts that were made to ski° a pe
.culiar shade to the polities of California it is net
row the time to spook at, length. It is well knoWn
that Mr. Brodoriclr; at ihe start encountered the
most persecuting. Opposition from the pro• Slavery
politicians, who from the first seemed tn, look Orl
California ns their peculiar -herlingo. Mr. Brode
rick was the first obstacle they had to encounter In
opposition to their undisputed sway. Ile wee froin
first to lost The head and front of tho opposition to
the Southern chivalry. And never before in the
history of man was an Individual so belied slan
dered, and abused. But he 'trolly held to his post,
and fought shim at every position.
It is well known that in the times of the old
Whig party It was in California' but soother natal)
for a Southern Party. Its: . candidates were uni
formly Southern pro-slavery men. and a strong ef
fort. was made to render the •Demoorntio party
equally servile to
,Snuthern lenders. And SO it_
would hove become bat far Mr: Broderick. Ile
stood np for the people of the North, end the party
was aCcordingly divided into the Northern and
Southern faotions. , • •
When the Know Nothing party wee established
here it woo as intensely chivalry as ever had been
the Whig party; tiff' until the year 1856 there woo
no other party or faction of a party claiming to
have any regard for the rights of Northern people
in this State, or being anything above the servile
tools and sycophonts of Southern politicians, than
the Broderick Demeerney. Ito stood by the North.
Ile stood by the mmple who loved freedom and
hated slavery. , He woe their obnropion,' their !ea.
der: and for years lie was hunted with all Owl/41-
,11 1 ;6re hate nnd hloodthirstincsi of a bloodhound
by the cat-throat politicians of the South, until, to
seal their victory over the North, in the late elec
tion, they have tried to take tiis life and forever
silence an opposition which they feared.
In ninny of the qualities flint go- to make up
groat man, Mr. Broderiok was without a peer in
the United States Ric administrative powers
were of an order never eiceelled. His field for the
exercise of them wns•tho reorst possible, it being
only as a party leader that ho was over enabled to
show his power. But who could ever manage n
party like him? lie wog nlwnys recognised by all
who acted with hint on the king, the loader; whose
will was to bo supretsie, and before whoni till others
must bow. Hence. he could enter a. convention
with a minority, and diotnto every nomination;
When ho made a motion, every mon of his party
followed his load, and while the opposition woe
confused by a dozen lenders, ho was Seconded by
nil his friends as unhesitatingly es era' was Na.
paten or Wellington.
For ten years Mr. Broderick has been the Mor
decnt in the gate. the lion in the path. the benm in
the eye of the Southern politicians. Ile hoe stood
at fearlessly in opposition to them, and, to their
shame be it spoken, has boon but poorly supported
by the man of the North. But of that not now.
Ile had a giant's will, and though unsupported by
those who should have boon his friends, he stood
