Evicaxsonv in the approaching Preach elec.
Mons is free to proclaim his preferences but in
France the Government mounts for somebody, and
modestly smart' its freedom of preference too. The
Government, hi. BILLAULT informs the Prefects,
0 will clearly tell the country what names have its
eonfidence, and appear to deserve the confidence
of the people." "Aa it proposes the laws Os the
deputies it will propose the candidates to the siestses,
end they will this make Moir choice No deal*
they will. There are certain similes so very per-
fect that they are currently said to run on all fours.
This is one of them. The chance of a government
candidate being rejected by the " free and IibOIMI
practice of universal suffrage" at the ensuing miss-
tions is not only similar to, it is measly identical
with, the chance of a government law being nieces&
by any Legislative body which such an mareles of
the suffrage may bring together.
The Imperial Oarernmest, we are marewver it
formed by M. BILLACLT, is so well @sties& with
the "i 1 yams of derotednsm " which the retiring
Deputies have pasted in its service, that "sr*
some ereeptimm,* mysteriously designeted as " sow
mended by special necessities," it hos diamd it just
sad politic to present for re-election a➢ the mew
hers of an Amoral, which has so ably essemhdthe
EMPEROR and serred the country." There it is st
tut. Let us take stock and see what it ell seems ts
so far. First, the Eames desires the " free sad
sincere practice of universal suffrage ;" but secondly,
he "clearly tells" three who exercise it, whom
they ought to choose ; and thirdly, the par-
ties whom the electors are thus " clearly
told " to select are, with a few exemp-
tions, the former members of the Lighted,*
Body. Sorely M. BILLAVET has wasted a great
many words an a perfectly plain matter. " Mes-
sieurs lee Prefer', you are hereby directed to
take care that all the old deputies are duly
re-elected, except those who bare not given Natio-

Station." That is the pith of tho whole thing;
and not only so, but it is what all the world knows
Ltd expects to be the pith of the whole thing. la-
perialien oboe accepted as a fact, all its candidate
neoenuily follow ; and it same bat sorry masque-
rading to ape the sirs and affect the language of
liberty while waking the machinery of devotion.
Even "that great men of laborious men who farm,*
we are told, " the wide basis of universal enkage in
France " are a little too elesmighted to suppose
themselves bee became still allowed to act the faros
of the franchise, and amuse as idle Dour with the
playthings of democracy.

IN the plenitude of centralising wisdom, the
authors of what was called the New Poor
Law of 1834 insisted upon introducing a totally
novel and theretofore untried scheme for the
election of local guardians. The ancient w►ys of
conducting such matters were declared to be oleo-
lete and altogether unsuited to an enlightened age.
The day of the doctrinaires was come, and as rapidly
as possible all the old-fashioned customs and prac-
tices that had for centuries prevailed in England
were to be rooted oat. Voting rind rote was one
of the barbarisms doomed to extinction ; the
exclusive right of the male sex to exer-
rine the privilege attached to ratepaying was
likewise declared to be a relic of the dark ages.
Both were accordingly abrogated under the Poor
Law Amendment Act, and an entirely new device
was resorted to far electoral purposes. What goes
by the name of dr Voting-pape► System was for the
trot duns introduued, and with some modifications of
no importance it sill remains in operation as it was
than bragaraaml. We have had pretty good expo-
riencedltrapanstion, and can judge of its practical
tendensy and amt. Than are still some persons,
