s
Councils-General stands out in shtreaenit
unexpected coldness of the smaller Coguncilsntor;'*'tthto the
rondissements. Were the subject worth speculating ebout,
Ar.
we might infer that, in certain circumscribed localities,
the population is almost unanimous in its Napoleo-I'
opinions, while tht party of Opposition, if there be such
a party, is more widely diffased over the department;
and this is quite consistent with what we know of the
manner in which particular forms of fanaticism have
commonly taken hold of the French peasantry.
Entire villages used to be carried away by the fever
of Socialism, till they exhibited a unanimity to
which there was not a solitary exception; and it fol-
lowed that the election for the entire department showed
a Red Republican colour, though the Conservatives
might, throughout a large number of districts, be in a
local majority. But, in fact, there is a much simpler
explanation of the stronger bias towards Imperialism
which has been impressed on the Councils-General. The
comparatively obscure elections to the Councils of Ar-
rondissement may have attracted a smaller share of at-
tention from the Government; whilst, in the more con-
spicuous and important contests for the representation of
the cantons in the Council-General, we know that the
whole influence of the, Executive was unsparingly ex-
erted. The screw was put on considerably more tightly
in ono class of elections than in the other—and there, in
all probability, lies the key to the difference. We should
not consider it matter for surprise if a large number of
persons in France were honestly desirous of substituting
a defined monarchical system for the present state of po-
litical affairs. It is always better to call things by their
right names; and to allow any appellation but that of
Empire to the existing Government of France, is merely
to furnish a basis for needless imposture and idle
hopes. On the assumption, too, that a majority of the
nation is nct actively filetho to th usurpation of Louis
Napoleon, we must suppose hat its tolerance of his pre-
tensions extends materially beyond his subversion of the
last Constitution. If the repose and stability of French
society be worth purchasing at the sacrifice of every en-
joyable liberty, it is ridiculous to allow the genius of
freedom so paltry a drawback as the Presidency for ten
years. However this may be, the French Government
has wantonly deprived itself of any pretext for its
farther progress in usurpation, which might be supplied
by the sufferance of the people as signified through the
Councils-General. It has wilfully impeded the articula-
tion of any wish which the nation might really feel. In
the first place,
we are not permitted to knew what do-
scription of pressure has been brought to hear on the
Councils. "Newspapers," says the official organ, " are
forbidden to publish any report of the proceedings of the
Councils-General, except such portion of the minutes as
the President" (who is appointed by Government) " may
think fit to communicate to them." What we do not
know, however, can scarcely enlighten us more than
what we do know, and what the French Government is
unable to preventus from learning. We know that the
voice of the country cannot be gathered from ever so
striking a unanimity among persons whose consti-
tuents had to be dragooned to the poll, whilst, in no one
instance, were they collected in sufficient numbers to
form more than a few scores beyond the bare legal
majority. We know that no councillor could be elected
who declined to swallow the oath of personal fidelity to
Louis Napoleon; and we likewise know that the list of
the eligible, after being thus narrowed so as to exclude
nearly all the real representatives of French intellect,
was still further purified by a system of intimidation
which has a novelty of its own, even as a passage in
the annals of the existing Government. Wo require no
apter exemplification of the sort of intervention which
the French Executive permits itself, than is revealed in
a protest signed by all the opulent and educated
electors in the circumscription of the Charente, against
the return of Prince Lucien Murat, in lieu of the
Count de Chasseloup-Laubat. M. do Chasseloup-
Laubat, as the Reporter of the Committee on the
Budget, was the exponent of an opposition in the Legis-
lative Body, which, mild enough originally, became
serious through the imprudence of the President and the
boldness of M. de Montatembert. The offence of having
suggested that the dotation of the paid Senators ought
to be the subject of an annual vote, and that the corn-
plr tion of the Carrousel might reasonably be deferred,
roused the hitterest resentment in the highest quarter.
On M. de Chasseloup entering the field as a candidate
for the Council-General, the Prefect of the Charente
published a circular demanding his rejection, on the
ground that "he had disappointed the expectations of
the Government." The Sub-Prefect followed up this
epr e,fsding by having proclamation made, with beat of
altiVn4 Oat all true friends of the President were desired
to vote for Prince Lucien Murat. The protest then drily
adds, " that the greater number of the electors, being
ignorant and ill-educated persons, interpreted this
request into a command, particularly as it was signified
with precisely the same formalities as the ordinary
edicts of authority." M. do Chasseloup-Laubat lost his
election. One word more on the degree of self-respect
which may be expected from the agents in whose hands
is lodged such an enormous weight of authority, with so
unbounded a licence to use it. A few days since, the
newspapers announced that the Prefect of the Dordogne
covered the front of the Prefecture, on the 1 sth of
August, with an immense transparency, bearing the
words, " Dieu fit Napoleon, et se reP osa. " However
strongly illustrative we might consider such a proceeding
of the character of Louis Napo instruments, we
should never have accused the Central Government of
direct complicity in this extraordinary piece of profanity.
But the Moniteur of the 23d distinguishes the Prefect of
the Dordogne above his colleagues, by a decree which
we copy without further comment:—" Louis Napoleon,
President of the French Republic, &c., decrees—The
inhabitants of the Dordogne are authorized to offer a
sword of honour to M. de Calvimont, Prefect, as a testi-
monial of publiclgratitude.—Louis Napoleon."
TIMES.—It is satisfactory to observe in the intelli-
gence from America not only that the fishery dispute is
fast disappearing in the preliminaries of the Presidential
election, but that these proceedings themselves have been
substantially uninfluenced by the agitation which sought
to make foreign embroilments subservient to the pur-
poses of domestic cabal. No candidate for office in the
United States is in any degree the forwarder tor having
gratuitously quarrelled with the measurea of Great Bri-
tain. On the contrary, although the approaching strug-
gle assumes daily a more formidable aspect, and although
the Union may be convulsed from north to south in its
political travail, the motives and objects of the contest
will be exclusively American, nor does it seem pro-
bable that even the crusading agitation of Kos-
suth, or the ready combustibility of the naturalized
Irish, will materially affect the impending decision. In
the meantime, however, the native politics of the State
have undergone a portentous development, and it ap-
pears not impossible that this young Republic may soon
be exposed in its turn to those disruptive storms which
have hitherto been thought peculiar to older and less
liberal institutions. The general reader may perhaps
require to be reminded that American Whigs correspond
substantially with English Tories, that is to say, they
are the more Conservative of those two parties into
which all free communities naturally divide themselves.
It will, of course, be easily understood that the whole
stage of politics is considerably more advanced in the
new world than in the old, and that the rigid obstruc-
tiveness of our pure Tory element is not to be met
with across the Atlantic at all. But, in so far as
those two professions exist which are inseparable from
political discussion, it is the school of Conservatism
which in America takes the denomination of Whig, while
that of progress enjoys the style and title of Democratic.
Hitherto, as in Great Britain and other constitutional
countries, these two parties have absorbed within them-
selves and have sufficed to express all the natural varie-
ties of Transatlantic opinion, and it is by the reciprocal
checks of such rival organization that the Government of
the Union has been maintained in healthy action. Re-
cently, as we have seen, two candidates have been ap-
proved for the Presidency, representing respectively the
two traditional parties of the country, General Pierce
being the nominee of the Democrats, and General Scott
of the Whigs. To one or other of these competitors the
balance of votes will incline, and the result will deter-
mine the Whig or Democratic policy of the Ame-
rican Executive for four consecutive years. On
the present occasion, however, there has been
formed a " third party," and, though we should
have Mr. Disraeli i authority for concluding
that the maintenance of such a faction, in faces
of its two opponents, is an almost impossible
feat of political conflict, it is by no means so clear,
under the remarkable circumstances of this demonstra-
tion, that one or other of the more ancient parties may
not be superseded by this new formation. The consti-
tuents of the third party assembled on the 11th instant
at Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, in what is termed " con-
vention," that is to say, a general meeting attended by
delegates, to fix by previous vote upon a candidate who
should receive the individual suffrages of the entire
party throughout the States. As it was the first crea-
tion and appearance of the league thus assuming politi-
cal capacity, the delegates agreed upon what Americans_
call a " platform," or, in other words, a declaration
