organization of a liberal opposition in the new Legis-
lative Corps. They will rather add to the strength of
the government, powerful as it is already. I doubt
the utility, after all, of a mere demonstration, for
nothing else apparently is meant by the Democratie,
candidates. Whetherfor good or forbad the preraent
regime is the issue of universal suffrage; on waiversal
suffrage'alone the opposingcandidates pzefer to take
their stand, and that by which they *nom to attain
success, has already given absolute Tv:Aver to Louis
Napoleon. How that power is
used is another
question. A great deal night not be gained by
half a dozen liberals, getti..ag setting seats in the
Chamber, but something would be gained, never-
theless, and .a the cause of liberty no trifle should
be dewsed. The presence iu the legislature of a
few raAionat moderate liberals, whatever difficulties
thr43, mir-
y encounter, would not be totally without
fruit. The creditor does not act wisely who, be-
cause ho cannot get pai&jt once the whole of his
debt, refuses to accept any instalment. The better
plan would be to present candidates who would not
refuse the oath to the sovereign, elected by universal
suffrage; but a demonstration like that intended
will, I fear, be barren in its results.
A deputation of the electors of the third arron-
dissement, in order to put an end to the doubt
about the opposition candidates taking the oaths,
called on General Cavaignac yesterday, in order to
as,ertain whether it was his intention to do so.
The General was rather puzzled what to reply.
To answer in the negative was -to trifle with the
electors ; and to answer in the affirmative he
could not do without taking council of his
ordinary advisers. He said that he could not
give an .answer then, and asked for time to
consider.

A good number of the working cla;ses have been
spoken to earnestly by the Prefect of Police about
the elections. He requested them to reflect care-
fully on the vote they were about to give, and not-
to.forget that the consequences of their voting for
the opposition would be only productive of injury
to themselves by the agitation it would create.
The Presse has the following :
Opposition electors of the third circumscription
of the department of the Bouches-du-RhOne, wishing
to give a proof of their gratitude to him who was
their Prefect in the difficult period of 1848 have resolved
to vote for M. Emile 'Nivea., who is likewise a candidate
in the fourth electoral division in Paris. M. Emile
Olivier has sent them his bulletin signed.
The same journal tells the following anecdote
a-propos of the elections;—
M. Gamier Pages signs the advertisement which in-
dicate his candidature by the words Candidate of the
Democratic Opposition,' apparently to indicate that he is
more democratic than those who call themselves simply
Candidate of the Opposition.' Now the following is a copy
of the letter which M Gamier Pages addressed on the
24th of February to M. de Maleiille. it is related by
Daniel Stern in his History of the Revolution of February
in a note to page 248 The madmen that you know have
proclaimed the Republic. Prevent the Duchess of Orleans
from showing herself. The moment is not propitious. Ever
yours, my good friead.' M. Gamier Pages has a very short
memory." _ _ _
