they had bum trisked. It was a bold step they took
in starting a maim of their own class against the
landlords' osmium The poll attested their power.
They polled 900 far the farmer to 1,200 for the land-
lord. What wield hen been the state of
that poll, if the farmers had only had a
popular body of electors, independent of the
leaded aristocraey to back them up? Suppose the
IW. householders of Buiaptoke, Alresford, and Alton
bad been entitled to votes, what would have been Mr.
PORTAL'S chance of suootesat that election P 710 fact
is, that at present the independent farmers cannot
make head saccesefully spinet the landowners, am-
ply because they have no popular body to fall beck
upon. They might speak their opinions to their
landlords in a tone infinitely bolder and far better
suited to existing circumstances, if the districts in
which they exercise the right of voting were
more free and less landlord ridden. Among the large
borough constituncies we have constant instances
of the people sending to parliament men of their
own class in opposition to the mere nominees of
cliques or influential neighbours. Wherever, in lent,
the industrious classes have obtained a voice in the
electorate the middle-class have been able to emanci-
pate themselves from the domination of the aristo-
ceacy, and to restrain and curb their pride and
power. It would be the Name in the aunties as
in the towns if the county neap were
only properly extended. Our farmers would then be
as independent as our s'icipkeepers are now. The
latter exercise for themselves an independent judg-
meat, knowing that they have the power of public
opinloa as expressed by the industrious classes to
support them if they are right. Let the farmers only
feel that they are able to fall back upon that same
authority for support, and they will not dread, as
they now do, the landlord's uncles of strewth.
It is for the interest of the farmers, then, above all
other classes of society, to pram at the preset time
for suffrage extension in the counties. They want
an adjustment of rents—they want leases under
liberal covenants—they want in fact new agreement,
with the landlord class of Bisghuid suited to the
altered circumstances of the times. Do they believe
they will obtain this without a straggle P Why.
except in rare instances, the thing is impossible. U
a new agreement involves a loss of a guinea to a
landowner, and if that landowner already is mortgaged
so deeply that he can hardly secure a shilling from
the clutches of the money lender, how is it possible
that he can consent without a struggle to the demand
of his tenant for • diminution of the rent ? In such

oases a battle will have to be fought. The tenant
mum rely upon himself. He may make a good fight's
he did in North Hampshire, bat he cm scarcely hope
to triumph over the sant owner of the mil un-
less supported by a power greater than hie own.
Mistime, from such a power he would assuredly re-
ceive if the misty suffrage were properly extended.
Can the tenant farmers do better than join is the de-
mand far the allowance of the right P

mes that the hoar is come for count-
imlitho are to be with him and who against
him in the campaign about to open ; and this
article may be regarded as the positive expression of
big intention to fares General Changarnier into taking
a &sided part. It is clear that the general has only
tep=word, only to give his frank support to the
in oder to enjoy a much higher official
ikaa he hot at present. If, an the other
persist in intrenolting himself
sbillff‘tly a mysterious neutrality, some fine
meening we shall are in the lefonifestr the deems
at hie dismissal. Every body knows that the
importance of General Changarnier is in nowise
founded upon the results of his military career in
Africa ; and he has never given the world any pledge
of his capacity as a commander on a broader theatre
of war than the streets of Paris. His extraordiaary
reputation dates from the 16th of April, 1848, when
he saw the only way to save Paris was to call out the
National Guard, and obtained from the wavering
Lawmen, and the reluctant Loden Rollin the order
to brat the roped. The electric effect of this mea-
sure and the rapid energy with which he organised
the defame of the Hotel de Ville, concentrated the
public confidence upon Changarnier, as the pilot who
MA weathered the storm of the moment, and Gavel/m

, and gays the champion of the party of
:Zee, as the stemmers of the revolution then began to
call themselves, a fresh proof of confidence, in appoint-
ing him to the command of the first military division.
The constituent assembly grew alarmed at the union
of so many regiments under the same chief, and
cerried,on the 3rd of April, 1849, a motion for depriv-
ing
.the general of the pay of 50,000 E, which he
received as commander of the national guard of
the Seine, a blow which he repaid by being
the main iiistramencof the dissolution of the Assam-
bly. On the 13th of June, and, in fact, on all mica-
none upon which at made has been dreaded in the
capital, the attitude and preparations of General Chan-
praise for the preveation and extinotioa of insures°.
tion have always been talked of as the main guarantee
of order. To such a pitch has the prestige of this
military chief swelled, that on any critical occasion his
hest gesture or word is commented on as pregnant
wit2zetenteue issues. Aphelia, from General Chan-
obtained for Louis Napoleon his dotation of
Igor millions. When the President returned from
Cherbourg, on Sept. 12, all Paris was agitated with
the report that Gametal Cbangarnier was not in wait-
ing to resenve him at the terminus of the Rooen Rail-
way. At the recent reviews the turning of the gene-
Ws back upon the champagne made the fends go
down several centimes ; and the star of Orleans rose
in proportion as the general's countenance fell at the
distribution of sausages. His presence here, his ab-
sents, there, his silence, no less than his conversation,
are the object of the most conflicting interpretations.
He is claimed by the legitimists as a fast friend of the
Coast of Chambord, by the Orleanists as devoted to
the regency, and the moat assiduous anxiety is
visible throughout the press of the Rip& to per-
suade the world that the President and General
Changarnisr are the best Mends in the world. Mean-
while the military oracle stands motionless and im-
penetrable in the centre of this busy sifting and spe-
culation, and gootip. He defines himself as the de-
fender of order, and disavows all party shade. But
the hour is at band when the maintenance of order
must depend upon the adoption of a distinct banner
by the army. It is absolutely out of the question for
Louis Napoleon to remain up to the last moment in
the dark es to the side which the most powerful
military chief will take. On the other hand, an abrupt
dismissal might, instead of breaking the general's
power, make him's. mach:more important personage
than he is at present, by eliciting a parliamentary
vote of confidence in hie command. The article of the
Ornefieutionnel attempts to show that, lifted by each
a vote to the height of a military dictatorship, and set
in open antagonism to the President, General Chan-
gamier would only enjoy a very transient popularity,
and would, like Cavaignac, sink in eclipse before the
name eipros. If he were set up as a candidate
for the , be would stand no chance against
a prince of ems the bellies that have ruled France.
