The thin, linost feminine squeak with which he ommences, swells into a clear, ringiug one, which fills tbe spacious apartment; he slight form seems t-> swell and dilate; he whole outward semblance appears transormcd by the working of the mighty in* ellect. Many have attempted to draw a parallel jetweun Mr. Stevens and John Randolph, f Roanoke, but tbelikeness is merely phvs cal and external, reaching not boyond the eeble figure, marked by disease, and the harp, shrill voice.

Mr. Stevnns lias oonquored suffering, and keeps limself Htronpjind noble,by entering hcartiy into tho sweet charities of life; Itwilolph had sortrcely a friend ; Stevens has careely an enemy.

Droderiok fell at tlio first lire, having boon pierced through tlie lungs. lie lingered till half past 9 o'clock on tho morning of the 10th, when he died. Judge 'f irry escaped nnhnrt. During tho political campaign closed by the olectinn >n the 7th ultimo, Senators (iwin nnri Brodorick hurled d"liance at one another, while expressing their readiness to fettle their privnto griefs in a privntu way, or in tho manner usual among gontleoien. A duel was looked for after the election, and the report that they wore to fight, therefore, excised no great astonishment, though tho result was anticipated with intense interest. Hut instead of a duel between BroiJprick nnd Qwiu, it turned out that tin? alVair was to l.o between Brodorick and Chief Jusrioo Terry, of the Supreme Court. In the Herald, about two months since, tho difficulty that occurred between Brodorick and a lawyer named Pcrley, in which Judge Terry's name figured, was detailed in full, anil tho subsequent correspondence between Brodorick. Policy and Kewen was also given in full. Brodorick on that occasion, at the breakfast table of the Intel-national Hotel, in San Francisco, said that Terry (who delivered a speech at the l)en?.'c.i *?tie State Convention, attacking Brodorick) did not treat him well, and that if he had received his deserts, tho Vigilance Committee, when they held him ('ferry) prisoner, would hnvo hung him. lie also srtiil that when in that trouble Terrv received his ac tive aid. and his (Terry's) conduct was a pour return for tho servieen rendered him when lie wanted friends. l'erley challenged IJroderiok, ami, an is known. Iio declined t<? lij^ht, on the ground that l'erley was an inferior. S. on aflnr. Hrodcrick announced from tlio stump that he would nut accept n challouge hefore the olcctiou, hut thsit after it was over, lie was ready for anv of him enemies. On Friday morning, the tliii ultimo, Roderick was waited on hy Mr. Calhoun Henham as tlio friend of Terry, who delivered a challenge to mortal contha*. It was at once accepted, and it is understood the conditions agreed on wore, that no person except the principals, seconds and sur/eons were to know of the time or place of the duel.

'l*!n> report is that Ur'ndcrick was ready 10 g'v?' Hatisfuction by stating that, although housed the language complained of on the spur of the moment and in the hoat of personal delmt*. nuch were not the feelings of his heart. It i* said this apology or explanation was not satisfactory, nod a mooting wan agreed on, to take plauuultivo o'uloek on the moruiny of tin- l'-Uh ultimo, iho weapons to bo six-sho.itors. At ?!iq. appointed time (l>nt morning tho parties woo mi tho field, in presence of about two hundred spectators and hpvorul police otQcors. Tlio.^p >t ( elected, near the Like House, beyond the Mission, and in San Francisco County, did not turn out satisfactory to the sec mils, either in consequence of tho nature of tho ground or the presence of the police officers, who expressed their det^rpjinjvtion to prevent tho duel taking place. Two other places w^fo examined, when, nt length, the party crossed the lino into San Mateo County, and at a little after seven o'clock that morning, fixed on the spot abd ooniincncetl measuring tlio ground. The principals, with their seconds, in a few minutes to>>k their appointed places. At this moment the Chief of Police and three officers interfered. One of their number went up to Bro lerick and presented a warrant for his arrest, while another approached T -rrv. They denied the authority ?>i trio oiin-crs to orre?t, as ttioy were out ot the limits of San Francisco; hut it seenftH that tho warrant was endorsed by a San Mateo mn^istrato. Alter considerable time spent in deliberation, they surrendered themselves and weco liberate.I on parole. Messrs. Broderiok and Terry then agreed to appear heforo the I'olieo Court, at two o'clock on Monday afternoon, th? 12th ultimo, the day bcfnro the duel. Tlio result of that, proceeding is a matter of little consequence now, as it did not prevent tlio hostile mooting. It is said that Judge Terry resigned his peat on the betrch before leaving Sacramento, Ills seconds wore Messrs. Cnihoun lion ham and Thomas Hayc*. Mr. Broderick's seconds were Messrs. J. C.

We suppose that in tho last few months, we luivc noticed in our exchanges at least a dozen eases, in which editor.0, in their political and other differences, have assailed one another's private characters in terms of tho most extreme and unsparing bitterness. We think that such intemperate ebullitions in the discussion of any public question. are deeply to be d. plored. as they serve not only to produce personal ruptures and altercations between the immediate? parties, but to lower the dignity of the press, which should be nlwavs what if watt designed to bo, the guardian and conservator of 'tho public morals and peace.? Why cannot men of Opposite sidos reason together upon political subject* in a spirit of calmness and decorum ? This mode of proceeding is infinitely better adapted to convince or persuade, than the fiercest vi- 1 tuperators. No m. tter how important or | unimportant the particular matter in issu", it best becomes tho disputants to observe mutually the rules of courtesy, and to be | guided by the dictates of propriety in com- ! bating their respective opinions. In fact, ] the cik's of truth and justice are touch bet- j ter subserved in this way, than by often- | sive and irritating reflections and denunciations. A man that cannot support his views upon ony and every point of a pub iiu tpiesiion i>y eann ami respectful argu- I inuiit, who li'iH not sufficient control over j liis feelings t?> prevent him from indulging j 111 rude and exasperating epithets, ought j never to engage in a controversy.

Wo have made theso general remarks , only for the purpose oT calling attention to ! j what we consider a great mid growing pub 4 lie evil. Wo lmpo that our ootcmporaries, I one and all, will approve both the motive, j and tho matter of our article, and that, ! it' they do, they will unite with us in di p- j reflating the frequency of angry personal discussion in the columns of tho press." Freedom.?ir?w much abused and profaned is the sacred n one of Freedom.? Men shout for Freedom, and fight for Freedom, and still remain in bondage. It is not only true that " who would be free j themselves must strike tho blow," but they must 14 know their righto, and knowing, dare defend theui." it is only the free in spirit that can be froe in fact. A nation may light for freedom and produeo a revoI lution every year, but if they do not know in what froedo n consist, they but change from one b:;d condition to another?but exchange one set of chains tor smother fpi;?11 \ oppressive ami galling. Darknoss it ml friiciloiii are inconsistent ami never go together. Where there is meiitol darkness there will he slavery ; and where there is light, there will flourish the tree of liberty. To enlighten a nation is the surest ami quickest, and the only certain way of making it free. Education is far more effective than military arms?>" the pen is mightier than the sword." True, the sword may be called in to assist those who have become enlightened through tlio pen ; but tho sword should always be used sparingly, discriminatingly, mercifully, and always with a clear view of an end to be achieved that will reward the world for the silliering eudircd, as the right arm that is diseased is out off Ihrtt tho whole body may not pariah, but boconie sound and full of th joyous tido of life. Were arms nlw ys used thus intelligently and humanely, there would soon be an end to all wars, and Peaoe, otornal Peace, would take up her abode on oarth, and men would dwell to aether in the freedom of brotherly love and the light of Unerring wisdom.
