A Letter from Senator Broderick.

1t can no more be said Of David G. Brod-
erick, as (has been frequently charged) that
he has never made speech or written a
letter by which the people of California
might form an opinion as to his fitness for
the high position to whicn he aspired and
has attained-he has written letter which
will be found in to-days Herald; 1t will be
attentively read throughout Placer County
by men Of all parties; we think the reader
will agree with us, that retiring modesty is
not weakness possessed by Mr.. Broder-
ick If this is Mr. BIS best effort he is an
indifferent letter writer and it would be well
for him to confess his ponderous thoughts, so
interarded with the pronoun to the limits
Of his own brain, and not send them forth
through the columns Of the press.
There is too much Of the dictator mani
tested in the tone of this letter; too much
that evinces that Mr.. Broderick feels him
self in a position to say to the Democratic
party Of California that he can control its
action, but feeling disposed to harmonize he
does not intend to distract the party or
control it's nominations in the coming can
vass Generous man truly.
The tone of this etter will not commend
it's author to the confidence of the party, and
volumne would not have been more potent
for mischief than this first public cdict of the
Hon. Senator.
We may have occasion to notice this sin
gular document more at length hereafter.
