FRANCE
The question of the election sto the Presidency
of the French Republic already urpasses in in
terest every other political topic in France, and
the approaching shadows of the candidates for
this supreme office have rapidly overtOpped the
mountain and the plain. IT, as may for the pres.

Napoleon and General Cavaignac never were
two rivals more strongly contrasted the one con-
fines his pretensions to the visionary influence of
a name, and seeks TO revive in republic an he
reditary right Of usurpaton and tyranny; the
other rests his claims on practical services on
personal integrity OF the highest order, and on
these qualities OF prudence and resolution which
have procured short breathing time OF TRANQUIL

the best means OF consolidating, or at least pro-
longing the republican form OF government;
Louis Napoleon is in reality transition to some
thing else. patriotic confidence in the power
and duration OF the Republic could hardly hest
