The Diamond Wedding. We omitted, in our comments on the flunkey ism and unmitigated snobbery of the recent wedding at New York, to mention that Miss FRANCES AMELIA. BARTLETT, the envied bride, who "floated to her carriage, followed by her train of attendant divinities," is aged eighteen, and that the juvenile bridegroom, Don ESTEBAN SANTA CRUZ DE OVIEDO, is stated by the New York papers to have reached the age of fifty five. It is quite a December and May affair, and the whole transaction indicates that the young woman has been literally sold to the saffron-complexioned Cuban, who is old enough to be her grandfather, and fully paid for by him. The probable future of such a purchase is painful to think of. Marrying for money is common enough; but it has not been 'the fashion, until now and in New York, pub licly to parade the exhibition of the sacrifice. The whole affair merits unmitigated reprehen sion. The original intention was that, the bride being a Protestant, there should be a double marriage—at Grace Church as well as at the Catholic Cathedral. A great deal of fuss and bother was prevented, however, by the young lady's opportunely changing her religion a few days previous to the marriage, which made the solemnisation by Archbishop HuunEs quite sufficient. It is added that the young lady, though by no means of Amazonian propor tions—of the ordinary feminine stature, in fact—is yet some three inches taller than her lord and master. At the marriage, ho appeared like a yellow dwarf beside her. How proud must she be of having boon bought by such a being! In connection with this marriage, or rather upon the remarks wo made upon it, the Now York Times of Monday assures us that the principal performers in this matrimonial drama claimed no privacy, but invited publicity. It says: '"They have, on the contrary, not only consented to its being regarded and treated as a publics af fair, but have given all possible aid to the news papers in their endeavor to enlighten the public in regard to it. It certainly was not without their knowledge that the fact of the engagement was made known, months ago, through the press; the statements of the extent and nature of the bride groom's wealth were too minute, and we pre sume too accurate, to have come from any but the most reliable quarter, especially as he had not previously been well enough known in New York to render such details otherwise accessible, and we have no reason to suppose that the jewelers, milliners, costumers, and out-fitters generally, whom he made prosperous and happy by hie lavish disbursements, were sworn to Heresy as to the ex tent and character of the orders they received. And when tickets to the ceremony, cards of invita tion to both the church and house, were sent in ad vance to editors and reporters of newspapers in their professional capacity, there wan room cer tainly for the belief that a description of the sad r would not only not be regarded as an Infringement of the proprieties of private life, but would, also fulfil the, ust and reasonable expectations of the patties most prominently ooneltrned." Wo copied the Tribune's account of the marriage, because it was at once the moat brief and least exaggerated, and we were bound to show our readers what all the Moo was made about in New York. What we chiefly condemned was not so much what the newspapers said (though tlio tiunkeyism and snobbery of the Herald's nearly three columns and a half of high falutin description was a sort of moral ipecacuanha) as what Fifth Ave nne did on that occasion—the Five Points con tributing /heir fashion ,and numbers to await the throng of persons in and around the Ca thedral who thronged to—see the bride's dress, as the Herald candidly confessed. The whole exposition, betbre the public on the wedding day and in print the next morning, is "racy of the soil" of New York, and never could have taken place in Philadelphia—even had the lady been twice as pretty, the Cuban twice as old, and his dollars twice as Mime.. THE BRODERICK TRAGEDY. A MONUMENT TO HIS MEMORY (Correspondence of The Proul QuiNoy, Illinois, Oct. 12, 1859 DEAR COLONEL FORNEY' : I have no doubt but you, and the entire anti-Lecompton Democracy of Pennsylvania and of the Union, have received with profound regret the news of the death of Senator Broderick. Ho was, indeed, a true and noble man, and has fallen a martyr to his devotion to principle. No threats could intimidate, and n• bribery could roach him. Ile was a pure patriot and an honest man, and stood In the Senate as a wall of fire to stay the present rotten Administra tion's wielced and' plundering schemes. • It became necessary to remove him out of the way, and MB le cation was favorable to the success of the conspi racy. The most extreme and violent Lecompton pro slavery Administration sentiment seems to reign supreme in California, and, for the want of reason and argument to sustain it, breaks forth in violence ant blood. That was the only free State in the whole Confederacy whose Legislature could ho in duced to pass resolutions of instruction in favor of the infamous Looompton Constitution, and it will be the only one In the next Presidential contest that will sustain the damning policy of the present Executive anti his advisors, if the Charleston C 6 vontion should be foolish and suicidal enough to at tempt to follow it up. Of all the men in the holden State none were so prominent or bold in defence of Popular Sovereignty as David C. Broderick and Joseph C. MoKibbin, and hence, although crushed at the election, it was not enough to satiate the bloodthirsty demands of tto Administration, and their lives were to bo the Unfelt of their refusal to submit. The generous anti gifted Ferguson made a most eloquent and powerful speech against the Lecompton Iniquity, and he fell by the hands of an Administration Leoompton man for it. Broderick opposed the same ineasure, and he, too, has been stricken down by ono of the same party. The conspiracy that struck Broderick out of the Senate has other oldects to accomplish, and hired tools can be found' to consummate them. Douglas is yet left. No man Letter understood the spirit of the Administration towards the Illinois Senator than Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, when he stated in a letter, which was published in this State during the late contest fur Senator, that the life of Mr. Douglas writs in danger. That efforts will be made to dispose of him before the meeting of the Charleston Convention, I have not a solitary doubt. lie is the Mordecai that sits at the gate and refuses, at the aaorilloo of principle, to do re verence to the wicked Haman. That the President secretly rejoices at the death of Mr. Broderick, no one acquainted with the feeling that prevails at Washington will, for a moment, doubt. That he would illuminate the White House if he was not restrained by the fear the people would pull it down over his head if some of his devotees—or rather the devotees of his power and patronage, (for scarcely any one noir respects him personally)—would serve Judge Dou glas as Mr. Broderick has been served, admits of no question. It was publicly talked on the streets lest winter, at Washington, that If a certain friend of the President, who was pursuing the Judge with great malignity, challenged him, he would be entitled to a clerkship; if ho succeeded in getting him to fight he would bo given a consulship, and if he succeeded In killing him ho would re ceive a first-claw mission. Although these re marks were made partly in Jest, every ono under stood there was tool much truth in them. A Senator who had pursued Judge Douglas with the greatest virulence had hardly stepped out of his Senatorial position with the full permission of his constituents, before he was given a foreign mission. A reward—a largo reward, no less than the patron ago of the Government—has been held out to crush him, and every other man who would not bow down and worship at the command of power, and sanction the moat Iniquitous and damning measures. In California this power has boon almost su premo, and the President will justly bo hold re. eponsiblo at the bar of public opinion for the con sequences of Its exercise. Johnson, who killed Ferguson, and Terry, who kilted Broderick, are neither of them responsible, though the latter held a responsible position, to which he was elected before the Vigilance Committee passed sentence of death upon him. Those men wore only the in• stroments of others, and of the spirit of the con spiracy that did the foil deeds, and that influence which prompted them to imbrue their hands in blood will protect then front punishment. They know well what they were about, and what risks they were running. The trial of Johnson, who is a Mississippian, was a mockery, and that of Terry, who is a Texan, will be the same. Thornily guilty parties will go tenwhipped of justice before' a legal tribunal, but the retribution of public scorn and indignation will be sure to overtake them. But my pen is running boyond the design I had when I commenced writing. I wanted to make a suggestion in regard to poor Broilerlok. Having had ample opportunity, during the last two sessions of Congress, to become fully acquainted with his character and his worth, and knowing him to have been a high-toned gentleman and truo patriot, I propose that there shall be a meeting of his anti- Leeompton friends at Washington city, say in De- cember or January next, to take measures for the erection of a suitable monument to hiellitemory. Ho stood with us as a moral hero during the fear ful Locompton struggle, and now that he has fallen a martyr to our cause, shall wo suffer him to pass away without a suitable testimonial of our respect and gratitude ? Shall we suffer the gush of sorrow we fool at his death to die and let his memory go out forever? What say .you, Colonel Forney, to the suggestion ? What say you, Judges Chapman and Hickman, of Pennsylvania ? What say you, Raskin and Clarke, of Now York, Adrain of New Jersey, Davis of Indiana, Senator and Represent. atives of Illinois, and the long line of worthy ad vocates of anti-Lecomptoniam ? What say you to the proposition? Let us at least moot and hold a consultation on the subject. We shall be unworthy of ourselves if we prove un grateful to each other. If the proper effort is made there can be no question but that the hearts of the friends of justice and right will swell with grateful emotion, and that they will pour in their contributions to the noble object. I speak to you through Colonel Forney, and hope, Colonel, you will speak for yourself. Mr. Broderick leaves no relations. There runs not a drop of his blood in the veins of any human being, and let us see to his fame. lie sleeps his last sleep upon the far-off shores of the Pacific, but lot the capital of the nation ho honored with a monument to his memory, upon which shall bo in scribed an epitaph something like the following: TIM ANTI•LECOMPTON FRIENDS OF THE HON.

CON P I II A C A MARTYR TO HIS PRINCIPLES, RAVE ERECTED TIIIS MONUMENT In honor of his moral courage and heroic opposition to the unjust demands and malignant spirit of the tyrannical Administration of James Buchanan. POSTERITY WILL HONOR HIM TOR IT. I have Written, dear Colonel, this impromptu lot tar in haste, and just as I felt and as I know the facts narrated, and send you the original draft; you are at liberty to publish it in The Press. J. LET A MONUMENT BE REARED TO IHS MEMORY (From the San Francisco Timee.l A great man has fallen—ono who had done snore to impress his name and character on the history of California than any man living. lie was a man who came up from the people, and, by his own force of character and integrity of principle, made his way to the highest position In the country. In that position ho had won the esteem and respect of the wise and good throughout the entire country. Though but recently elevated to this high place, and having on one side the blandishments of power and the prospects of basking in the smiles of execu tive favor if he would desert his principles, while, on the other, he was sure to meet the " insolence of office," and the most relentless and malignant perse cution, if he adhered to his convictions and follow ed the right, ho did not hesitate for a moment, but boldly jumped into the hottest of the conflict and did manly service for the great principle of popu lar liberty. For years ho had been bunted as by blood-hounds, because be dared to breast the tide of slavery aggrerslon, and fighting for freedom he fell, ensnared In the meshes of a bloody code. He has been during the last nine years the most pro minent man in the State, and he always exercised his power and influence so justly that no man can cite his record to his disadvantage. lie was a true man; true to his friends and true to his principles. He was a great man. None other could by his in dividual will wield such an influence and be looked up to by all as a king, made so by the great Archi tect who creates kings and potentates. But he is dead: fallen en the great battle ter popular liberty. Though unhappy In the manner of his death. the cause In which he was engaged waiter' sacred and as noble as that in which Warren fell at Bunker Hill. And now let the people whom he served so faithfully and courageously build him a monument Let it stand in the heart of the city to which ho had devoted so much of his ener gies and with whose history his name has been so closely identified. On Portsmouth Square let this monument be raised. Lot It rise high up to wards Heaven, add on each side of the towering column let the words be engraved: "They have killed me because I was opposed to the extension of slavery and a corrupt Administration." Let the friends of the departed at once move In this matter. Let the monument be worthy of the man. " Let it rise up till it meet the sun in his coming; let the first rays of the morning gild It, and his parting beams linger and play on its summit." THE DUEL AND ITS ALLEGED CAUSES. From the Alta California.] It has been charged that that portion of the press which has been the most marked in its tone of eon damnation of the causes assigned for the late duel, has simply resorted to invective and denunciation against the survivor, without bringing argument and facts to justify such a course of proceeding. Whether or not this charge was intended to apply to this journal is a matter of indifference to us, as, if it was, it is simply a gross misrepresentation. We not only condemn and denounce the bloody deed. but we bring facts to sustain our position, such as the warmest advocate of tho brutal code can neither reinsay or set aside. Acoording to a promise already made, we pro coed to review the correspondence which passed between the combatants, In order to prove the cur• rectness of our position, expressed some days ago, that " no good cause existed for a duel." Appa rently. in response to this assertion, the seconds of Terry have published the correspondence referred to, which, as we remarked yesterday, instead of furnishing any defence or palliation for Terry, makes the affair oven "more monstrous than we had at h"r3t sapposed." In his first letter to Mr. Broderick, Terry de mands a retraction of certain remarks, of a person al character, made by the latter at the breakfast table of the International Hotel. Mr. Broderick, in response to this, desires Terry to specify the par ticular remark or remarks.referred to, which he is asked to retract. The latter replies as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9, 1859. HON. D. C. linonxitimr—Sin : In reply to your note of this date, I have to say that the offensive remarks to which I alluded in my communication of yesterday aro as follows I have heretofore considered and spoken of him I (myself) as the only honest man on the Supreme Court Bench, but now I take it back—thus, by im plication, reflecting on toy personal and official integrity, to., to., de. Thus, then, the offence charged against Mr. Bro derick, if an offence was committed, is simply this: Upon one occasion, he, Mr. Broderick, voluntarily expressed the opinion that "Terry was the only honest man on the Supreme Bench," or words to that effect. Subsequently, Terry assails him (Bro deriek) in the Democratic Convention, in the most outrageous manner, no provocation having been given him by Mr. Broderick for myrrh an as fault; ore the contrary, eves!, reason going to establish Mr. Broderiel's right to expect friendly treat ment at the hands of Terry, if the heart of the latter had not been callous to those finer sensibili• ties which male gratitude the warmest impulse governing ordinary human Mr. Broderick was then, by this attack. placed upon the defensive. The man whom he had praised, for whom he had, when all was dark around him, and his (Terry's) existence seemed to hang upon a thread, spent his money and bent his iron energies to the task of rewiring him from an ignominious death; now turned, as did the poi sonous viper in the fable, and stung the hand which befriended him. What then did Mr. Broderick do Did he strike back, did he crush the man who had, in this gross and this monstrous manner, violated all the laws of gratitude and honor be tween men ? Did he not, will ask the stranger un acquainted with the facts, grind him beneath his heel, as he would a venomous snake that bad sprung from the wayside and attacked him? No' In 'pity and contempt for ono who could thus de grade himself, he forbore to strike a retaliating blow such as he justly merited, and simply said, according to Terry's letter, publeshed over his own signature," I have heretothro considered anti spoken of him (Terry) as the only honest man on the Supreme Court Bench, but I now take it all bark.' This was all. This was his response given for an assassin blow *trade at his fair fame by one from whom ha had every moral right to expect nothing but friendly words, or, at least, silence. Bow then did this leave the matter? We direct this interrogatory principally to those who have attempted the task of justifying a resort to the " code of honor" to settle the difficulty. How, _we ask, did the case stand at this stage? Mr. Brode rick had once, of his own volition, expressed a fa. voluble opinion of Terry, as one of the judges of the Supreme Court. Subsequently he is assailed by Terry. ile then simply retracts the opinion thus expressed, without preferring a single charge against him (Terry), withoutofferieg a word of de traction or denunciation, thus leaving the whole matter In precisely the same condition that it would have been, had he (Broderick I never hare opened Ma lips, or uttered ono word, directly or In directly, concerning Terry, except that he himself —if any cause existed for a duel—was tiro party at tacked, and ho alone, if either had the right, Van the one to have been the challenging party. Let no man gainsay this, for here are the facts, plainly and logically set forth, to sustain us in our position, and they oannot be disproved. It matters not how warm an advocate any man may bo of the laws of duelling, if he will but disabuse his mind of pre- Judie°, and sit in cairn and dispassionate judgment upon the matter, he cannot, without violating every principle of justice and right, arrive at any other conclusion than this. Under such circumstances, who shall dare assert that we have denounced the survivor of this duel without good and sufficient cause? ' Who will say that wo are not right in characterising it as an sot for which no excuse, no palliation exists, and which ought forever to condemn David S. Terry to an eternal infamy, in the estimation of every honora ble and candid man; and to call down upon him the concentrated vengeance of a Deity whose laws have been blasphemously outraged and violated ? With this evidence before us, what other inference can be drawn, ulna other COM:10ton otin be arrived TWO CENTS. at, than that there was a fixed and determined In tention, on the part of Terry and others, to force Mr. Broderick into a fight for the purpose of tak!ng his life? Any pretext, no matter bow trivial, would suffice to enable this purpose to be carried out, the conspirators knowing full well that the no ble and fine sense of honor then possessed by their now dead victim would cause him to stand up to any combat that they might ask for, rather than that cowardly hearts should even dare to hint the gross libel that he possessed one particle of simi larity in his composition to their own base natures. Such has been the history of the cause of this lamentable occurrence, this monstrous outrage against the laws of God and man. Such was the pretext made use of to kill David C. Broderick, California's steadfast friend—a man whose like we ne'er shall see again. Yet, those journals which, prior to his death, heaped, every day, whole tor- rents of invective and abuse upon his head, now turn their column rules in mourning, and, while they laud his virtues, and pretend to lament his untimely end, assert the wicked libel that hie mur derer had cause to do the damning deed. And they who write thus are " honorable men." —"I rather choose To aprons the dead, to wronx myself and you, Than I Ind wrong muldt hoorablestnen. And they would no and kinn deed Crrenen wounds, Altd dip their napkins in his snored blood; And. dying, mention it within their will., Beatieethrrig it ne a rich legacy Unto their issue." 11121=1 " Whose daggers have stabbed Clegar." They now weep crocodile tears, and pretend to the mockery of sorrow over his mangled come; but, while they put on this heartless show of mourn ing, they forget not to traduce the memory of the dead, by seeking to create a justification before the public tribunal, of the heartless conduct of his murderer, by misrepresenting the course and tone of such independent journals as dare to denounce in fitting terms the full, unmitigated. and mon strous nature of a duel, which has terminated thus disastrously to the people, and to the man who had given no just cause of offence, even under the most rigid requirements of the code itself. (From the Alta California.] For our own part, we believe that if Judge Ter ry had not been urged on to this quarrel, it could. and would have been adjusted without a duel. If the political enemies of Mr. Broderick had not stood in the way of an adjustment, this duel would not have taken place. These may now tvjoice over their triumph, as the wretched human habi tant of the jungle rejoices, when from his hiding place be sees the lion that stood in his pathway de parting from his post. • SENATOR BRODERICK IS DEAD [From the Alta CaHormel The lion hunt is over. The jackals that long hung howling upon his track are at rest after their feast of blood, while in the cold majesty of death sleeps the great victim of their murderous deeds. The chase is done. The quarry is laid low, and the dogs have gone to kennel. David C. Broderick is no more! He was the hunted lion, and they who have forced him into the quarrel which made a sacrifice of his life, were the hungry pack of Jack als that now, from the dark corners to which they have retired, are contemplating their foul deed of murder. There Is enough in this melancholy affair to call for the • bitterest condemnation that the tongue can utter, or the heart can feel. There is enough to justify us In heaping maledictions upon the authors and alders in this foul tragedy, but we will forbear. It is properly within the province of a list and a righteous God toilet his curse upon them. This is already written in a text of Are upon the records of _Heaven, and constitutes a fearful debit against the mortals upon whom it falls, which they will be called upon to settle in an after life. The curses of men are but trifling indeed as compared • to this, and we may do no more than fo invoke the just vengeance of Heaven, without resorting to the more trifling alternative. This will fall upon and destroy them. This will set a flame of torture within their hearts that shall never cease its burn ing—that shall, whether sleeping or waking, haunt them and goad them on through a life time of hor ror, filled with self-reproach, and vain and idle longings that the past might be retraced, and this base, cowardly, and wicked deed be unperformed. For the present, let us turn from them to Indulge in a few words of - melancholy reflection over the sad event which has transpired in the death of Mr. Broderick. Seldom or never has the great heart of the public been eo deeply stirred ea, it is at the present mo ment. The political friends and foes of the victim of the murderous code aro alike unanimous in their expressions of condemnation against the conspira tors who forced him Into the fight, and in their grief and sorrow at his untimely end. To speak well of Mr. Broderick has ceased to carry with it the charge of striving to aid him in the pursuance of the objects of his political ambition. The cold, senseless, and inanimate lamp of clay no longer moves obedient to the dictates of the giant intellect which once inhabited it, and the admirers of genius, honor, and a brave and indomitable heart. can pew _ s.y upon the altar their few gilt - offerings Or praise, without being held amenable by his maligners to the charge of desiring to promote the advancement of his political fortunes. It is, indeed, a time to put on mourning, to fill our homes with lamentation'', for the true, unself ish, self-sacrificing friend of California: the man who, whatever was his ambition, wee the best, the purest, the only true man that has ever fairly and honestly represented California in the Senate of the United States hm been basely sacrificed to meet the demands of the foulest and most blight ing code that the cunning of man ever gave as a curse to his race. Ile is dead! and his murderers walk abroad un punished, except as their prototype, the first mur derer, was punished, when be went forth with the mark and the curse of a justly incensed God upon his brow. People of California. let this serve. you as a lemon. Think, as you follow the remains of this murdered man to their last resting place on earth, that it is the bloody code. the base, blacken ing, damning, and cowardly code, which you have tacitly sustained and tolerated in your midst, that has brought about this great public calamity—for a public calamity, indeed, it is, as this community may yet learn to its sorrow. Today we have no heart to attempt to do full justice to the dead or the living. Let these few words suffice for the moment, and it shall be our task to fulfil that duty to-morrow to its utmost limit. Meanwhile, it is a time of mourning and sadness; let these hold their sway over the heart for the moment, ere we turn to consider more mi nutely the days of evil which have come upon us. A Graphic View of New Jersey Politics. f Coneepondenoe of The Preacl TRENTON, Oct. IT, 1859. EDITOR OF TRY PRESS : Mr. Buchanan still Con tinues his proscriptive policy in this State. Heads of postmasters with anti-Lecompton proclivities are falling weekly into the Executive basket in the counties of Morris and Sussex. It would really seem as if the President. smarting under the re bukes that have been administered to him, in his fierce rage Is determined to wreak his vengeance upon the Democracy of this State. It is the gene ral belief hero among our leading men, that the Administration would gladly welcome the news cf General Wright's defeat. The General made the first speech in behalf of Mr. Buchanan in New Jersey, and it is well known that no one gave himself so unreservedly to the Presidential can vass; aml yet, when his friends asked for him a third-class mission, the President passed him by on the other side, and gave the appointment to ono of the Stockton tribe, whose bitter enmity to Buchanan is well known here, and who was wholly unknown in the canvass. The course pursued by Mr. Buchanan has no parallel in the history of the country, and cannot be accounted for by ordinary rules. Life-long friends have been thrust from his side, and their places filial by those whose fierce enmity to him had been loudly and openly proclaimed. The statesmen of the party, whose experience in the na tional councils should have commended them as ad vipers, ho hes ignored, while ho has surrounded himself with the miserable tools and drudges; and this very hour one of these creatures—what the French call " rime do, Inn le," one who will do any dirty work—is " the power behind the throne greater than the throne itself." Since the days of Pelham, in the reign of George IL the world has never seen a man at the helm of State who resembled this crafty minister so closely as Bu chanan.
