THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE AND MR.. BROD-
ERICK

THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE AND MR. BRoD-
ERICK.
The Tehuantepec mail brings advces from Califor-
MIA announcing the passage in the lower house OF the
California legislature of the resolutions of condemns
,on and instruction in regard To Senator Broderick
which we published "Wednesday. The case Of the hon
orbIe senator is of the most remarkable we ever
knew At the time of his election he was allpower-
fail in his State now he is censured by the most de-
c;siye vote that was ever taken in Legislative body
mon the conduct Of a senator. IL is the most signal
fall from power and popular favor into obloquy and
political ruin that was known.
lie was the choice senator Of California, the favor
tie Of her democracy. After The most unexampled
struggle by them in his behalf, he was trumphanty
elected over all the assaults of his enemies. lie
came here the representative of her democracy, to
represent their principles, and to do battle IN their
cause. He rewarded their confidence by marching
straight into the camp Of their enemy, and putting
himself in their lead in every contest with his old
party. The case recalls a philippe pronounced by
Mr. Disracli in the British House of Commons upon
the apostacy Of deserving colleague
There is a difficulty III finding a parallel in any
part of history TO the position of the honorable gen
tleman The only parallel | can find is an incident
in the late war in the Levant which was terminated
by the policy of Lord Palmerston. remember
when that great struggle was taking place, when
the existence Of the Turkish empire was at stake,
the late Sultan man Of great energy and resources,
was determined to iii out an immense feet to main
tain his empire 1t consisted of many of the first
ships that ever were built. Tho crews were picked
men, the officers the ablest that could be found
AMI both officers and men were rewarded before
they fought Never did an armament similarly APP
pointed leave the Dardanoles since the days Of
Solyman tho Magnificent The Sultan personally
witnessed the departure of the feet and all the mnf
tia prayed for the success of the expedition Away
went the feet but what was the Sultail's conster-
nation when the Lord High Admiral steered at once
into the enemy port. The Lord High Admiral was
called Il traitor but he had the talent OF vindca-
ting himself ''frue," he said, 81 did place myself
at the head Of this valiant armada true it is that
my sovereign embraced me; true all the mufts
prayed for my success but have objection to
fighting the Egyptians ! see no longer the ne
cessy Of prolonging the struggle with Mehemet,
and the only reason | had for accepting the com
mand Of the eet that might terminate this dis
pute by behaying my sovereign and yet such was
the plausibility and adroitness of this Lord High
Admiral that he is at this moment first Lord of the
Admiralty under the new regime" lSir C. Napier,
al thought he was dead'l Dead he may be; but
at any rate he was not shot for treason
