Election Warfare In Paris.

We cut the following from the Paris correspond
ence Of the Commercial Adrertiser. 1t gives
some idea OF the fun with which the French re-
lieve the ardors of most bitter political contest
The caricaturists do not spare NJ. Eugene Sue.
His opponents say that he lives in great luxury at
his chateau near Bordes. One caricature repre-.
sents him in the morning costume Of a marquis of
the old regime, reclining in most luxurious easy
chair, surmounted with a crown. A servant ia a
rich livery brings him a letter on a silver saver.
About him are all the appearances OF luxury, and
a King Charles dog sleeps at his feet on rich
cushion Underneath the picture is M Sues max.
i'm, "Nohody has a right to the superfous when
every body has not the necessary"
A second caricature represents an honest work
man calling at the chateau of the novelist. He
comes to fraternise with him, but the porty porter
stops him with No passing here, you must re-
quest an audience through the chief valet
In a third NJ Sue is borne toward the Assembly
by the w anderng Jew STOPPING with the weight
OF his eighteen hundred years and eighteen hun
dred pounds of NJ. Sues works. Following are
seen Feur dc Marie, Dagobert, Tortillard aud half
q dozen other favorite characters of the author.
The Coalition has not the monopoly OF the pencil.
The Socialists publish several good caricatures of
their opponents.
I'm one, the burgraves or leaders are painted
going to war against Universal Suffrage, which is
represented by an urn placed on the summit OF
Hill, the Constitution. Lutle Theirs is the general
Of the expedition the corps Of the army is com
posed of the brave Mole, Berger, and dc Falloux
All are armed with helmets and pixies, and advance
to the assault, crying, "To the rescue, Montj0ie
and the Reaction %
second represents Theirs ustaining in the air
three enormous sabers. On the broad blade of the
first are the letters, "Repressive Laws" on the
second DISCRIMINATING Laws" and on the third,
." Laws against the Press" Over the sabers,
the three Burgraves, Mole, Theirs and Montalem-
bert clasp hands and renew the oath of the Horati
1t is sort of travesty Of the great painting by
David
In third NJ Bonaparte blindfolded, and armed
with the laws against the press in the shape of an
enormous pair OF shears, IS trying to clip off the
leading articles Of the Socialist journals. NJ Theirs
peeps over his shoulder and cries "SOfty, softly,
my prince, you are clipping off the wings of your
own ducks" And in fact the President is in the
act of cutting the C0nStttutiOnneL
But the best carcature of the week is decidedly
that of the late declaration of NJ Theirs and of NJ.
Berry that the maintenance Of the Republic is
unavoidable. These two gentlemen are represent
ed as trying to escape from temple by the ucarne
windows The temple is the Republic. But the
lucarne windows are too small and each has stuck
fast and cries, "help! help! ne can't get oml
Of course NJ. Theirs is at the lett window and NJ.
Berger at the night.
Besides these caricatures so directly political
there are others indirectly so. The large number
Of which the Emperor Soulouque is the victim are
really intended to reflect ridcule on the ambitious
projects of the President The artist, by making
Soulouque an imitator OF Napoleon, and dressing
him up in three cornered hat and grey oyercoat,
establishes pointed resemblance with the French
President which makes every hit ineligible to the
multitude Lamartine's new drama of Toussaint
Louverture does not escape. 1t oherssome salient
points on which Partisan wit hangs its lightest
satire. The color of the hero and his partizans is

This is the name of the greatest carcaturist in
Paris He is Of noble descent, being the eldest
son of the Count de Noah noe) who had the strange
fancy Of naming bis three Oldest sons Cham lSbem)
Ham and Japeth. The eldest received fine edu-
cation admitted TO the bar bat could not resist
the impulse of his genius, which drove him into the
fields where he has won all his laurels His
merous caricatures have been collected and form
several volumes Of great value to the historian Of
manners as well as to the lover Of the ludicrous.
They present in charcoal sketches history OF the
times which may be read without yawning
