The CALIFORNIA CoNrKsT.-we shall very
soon have news Of the result Of the recent Politcai
contest in California the fercest and most bitter,
probably, that ever occurred In such canvass In
either State of the American Union. II was vir-
tually between the Democratic party on the one
side, and the little faction led by Senator Brod-
erick ploryfng IN the name of Dougiasites, on the
other The Republican party-though putting
ND candidates they bad no hope Of electing-took
little part In the controversy, contenting them
selves with the chance Of eventually bagsing the
mass of the rank and file of the followers Of Doug
las and Broderick, whose destiny, after their
defeat, they know well must be to side with the
anti slavery opposition.
Mr.. Broderick made the contest. 10 far a hs
was concerned, personal one; probably rather
from necessity than from choice; insomnch an he
Is utterly incompetent from entire want Of educa-
non' reading, or any familiarity whatever with
State questions Of public interest," to string half
dozen sentences together upon any one Of them;
his capacity as popular orator being perhaps
more meagre than that of any other individual
who has obtained his prominence in American
political affairs He learned to deal in personali-
ties amid his early political associations those of
the grog shops Of New York, when himself a
knight of the toddy stick in that city; and his
style of political personali is wholly that of his
iginal political school that above referred to.
Hence he opened the ball with sweeping personal
accusations against and vulgar vituperation OF
Senator Gwin, the Hon. Mr. Latham, and score
more Of the Democratic leaders of California
abusing them from the stump without stint.
Not pretending to substantate his accusations
against them with proof, he threw on them the
burden Of disproving them; which was done In
every case, to his utter confusion and overthrow,
as will be apparent when the returns of the cleo
ton reach us, shortly 1t is fortunate for the Dem
ocratic party that Mr.. Broderick aud his Douglas
ite followers in California have thus cut themselves
entirely loose from their organization, and gone
| over, "body and brooches" to the Republican
camp; and it is by no means less fortunate for the
gentlemen he aspersed personally, that he under.
took to spit out the venomous ISLANDERS against
them he had been whispering in back rooms for
4 long time previously. Thus, they were enabled
to nail them to the counter, one and ALL as bei no
UNANIMOUSLY untrue. On the whole, Mr.. Broderck
has simply laid himself out stiff and cold He Is
even so soon politically dead man.

POSTAGE AND PRoTECTION.-Ex-Senato James
Cooper, Of Pa, a well-known political fossil, HIS
recently aired his views on postage" and sprc-
tection'' in a letter addressed to parties in his
STATE, written for publication, of course He
goes in'' for postage rates as low as those Of
England, and contends that II the Government
will only accord sufficient protection to the iron
interest, that will rapidly become the overshad-
owing inductial interest in the land
Taking the difference in the means Of transport
tation, in the density of population the length of
the mail routes and the of the service togeth-
er into consideration and it is clear that our rates
Of postage are at this moment much lower than
those of the English government, without bring
ing into the calculation the fact of the existence Of
ranking privilege on this side of the Atlantic
that has eaten out and continues to eat deeper and
deeper annually into the capacity of the American
postal department to sustain itself; while at the
same time 1t is fast tending to the decentralization
of the American public and the strengthening Of
the rod Of iron with which demagogues so fire.
quently rule American communities in all Sec
tons OF the Confederacy.
Ex-senator Cooper's increased protection scheme
embraces nothing new He urges increased taxa
ton upon American consumers Of iron for the
benefit OF American capitalists whose means are
invested In the production Of iron. He might as
well recommend the plan of taxing the non-ron-
producing American population SO much head,
to be collected by the tax-gatherer, and paid over
directly to the ironProducing capitalists in pro
portion to their money credit invested in iron
works. His scheme is simply one to accomplish
such result without the necessity Of actual visits
to every taxpayer by the tax-gatherer, to collect
| 50 much money from each of the former, to be SO
paid over by the latter. Indeed, his alleged arg-
ment Is unworthy Of formal refutation in these
times; when all, on both sides of the Atlantic
comprehend 81 clearly that " protection" in the
assessment Of Rates OF customs duties means Eei
thrr more nor less than taxation Of the cons ners
Of the protected article for the benefit Of their
neghbors or fellow-citizens whose capital is in
vested in producing them.
