Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.
PARIS, Thursday, Nov. 90, 1851
Yesterday paid visit to one of the
most extensive manufactures of the Fau5urg ST.
Antoine with the express object Of learning the
political bias of some of that class excluded from
the polls by the law Of the 3lst of May. The es
Enlistment is not conducted upon the principle Of
association, the workmen being hired by the week.
The employer or patron, is monarchist and takes
the Constitutional, which, though an earnest advo
cate for universal suffrage, lives in the hope Of
Perpetual Presidency for Louis Napoleon, or the
Empire at once. The eight clerks take the Pays
and the Presse, both Republican papers, and lately
converted to the interests Of the President The
eighty journeymen take the PresSe, the R6pubh7e,
and the Revolution They are resolved, firmly and
irrerocaby resolred 10 rote at the Presidential! election
IN May merit cost ,ehaf ii may This they say with
out boast or braggadocio, but with that calmness
and collected bearing which, while it shows deter
mnatioD, indicates consciousness Of right. This
right is written in the Constitution and wrested
away by body not charged to mutilate that instru
ment, but to pass laws in harmony with IT, This
right has been recognized by the President In his
Message, and the Chamber has only failed by three
votes of repeating their law of last year Whether
on the 18th of May next this political disability has
been removed or not, they intend TO exercise their
most sacred privilege under the Constitution, and,
as Michel de Benzes declared from the tribune,
"present themselves at the polls, with the Presl-
dents Message in one hand and their ballot in the
other" These men insist upon hree cardinal prin-
cples: universal suffrage, unrestrained hoerty OF
the press, and the right OF public assembly and dis
cussion. They expect TO conquer back these rights,
all of which are in the Constitution, peaceably at
the ballot-box was not surprised to fnc that TO
effect this object they did not TO Dust the PresI
dent and put another in his place, but were content
with thorough regeneration Of the Assembly
They 90 not consider the President responsible for
the laws which have successfully invaded their
rights and their prerOgativeS. They believe that he
would have vetoed the law of the 3lst OF May, had
he net been afraid Of preciptating quarrel between
the legislative and the executive anu embrOuing the
whole country IN agitation and discord. They be-
lieve that he would be republican with republican
Chamber 10 support him. They look upon the
monarchical factions in the Chamber as peIlured
and as false TO their most sacred promises. When
candidates for election, these men gave utterance
to sound republican doctrines, their professions de
fol covered the walls. At the hastings, on the
stump, in the newspapers, In conversation, they
promised the abolition of the old system, and the
consolidation of the Republic. And, for the last
three years, they have been readmg the Republic
under foot and trying 10 Tesusctate two dead and
buried monarchies Now the majority of the yoers

TO be restored. They exclalm with the DYING Mer-
QUITO, "a plague on both your houses" Conse-
quently under universal suffrage, the chiefs OF toe
monarchical factions are politically dead. The
Beuyers, the Moles, the Brogles, the Theirs, the
Dupns, the Vatmesnils have done with public
life. Few, If any, OF these men will be returned TO
the Chamber of 1882 VI. Theirs infamous express
sion, Ia vie multitude, applied TO the class dsenfran
chised by the law of May, will never be forgotten,
ard secures that gentleman's earthly damnation.
The lourneymen with whom conversed are stren-
uous upon the necessity of regeneratng the Assem-
bly,, but are willing 10 retain the President They
will vote for him in preference to Ledru-Rolln,
though they might give their support 10 Carnot IN
