rersecutious on the part of their amiabIe ruler
This announcement afforded to. the republican
candidates by the electors of PARIS, has also been
n painful disappointment to the Orleaslst party,
who thought themselves destined to succeed
Louis Napoleon.
l bold the same conviction today that | held
at tho period OF the coup d'Etdt ' NO govern
IN mt can ever become stable IN France tn AZ is
not wisely and loyalty republican. The old le-
gitimate party exists no longer but IN name, and
the Or cans family will never again become po-
pular in France The Orleanist candidates IN
Paris had so small list of votes thaa it is said
they have given up all hope Of reviVipg the
dynasty Of Leuis Pailippe
Ga the other ha and, those who voted for the 60
vernment candidates shosld not be co oosidered as
Bona partists. for the greater portion of these
votes came from employees OF the admloistra'
tion, who, of course, always vote for the power
that employs and pays them, and the remainder
came from the party who vote for the stroa gess
This party would vote Tor the Republic to-mor-
row, ii it was estabished, and for he throne the
dey after if the despot proclaimed a monarchy
please myself with the belief that the pre-
sent government will not exist for The six years
for which the members have been elected Be-
fore that period has elapsed, the whole people Of
France will openly condemn the infamous con-
duct Of the man who oppressed and betrayed
them on the 2i Of December.
If France does not initiate Parisin the elections
ofwhch speak 1T will be because the prefects and
other authorities have aiken every precaution to
prevent such result These worthy accomph
ces of the dictator have menaced and oppressed
every one under their control who they thought
likely to follow the course of tho patriots Of the
capital.
The Importance of the Parisian proteatations,
is SO much the greater when we consider that the
electors could not unite themselves nor concert
their measures through the public press, nor om-
ploy any Of the usual means observed on such
occasions in countries which are free to carry out
their wishes as regards the election cf their cho-
sen candidates. However Louis Napoleon spared
no means to avert this check to his apparent pop
ula,ity He awaited the moment of the Legis-
lative vote, to issue dscree author zing the es-
tabishment Of companies to effsct loans upon
hvI othess. This decree establishes tlast what
has ong been desired in France, and is called
the* credit foHcier, and for that reason Louis
Napoleon waited the moment Of the election to
decree this great measure, thinking thatit would
exercise powerful influence over tho electors in
favor of the Government Louis Napoleon should
hasten to secure the crown of his uncle, if he
would bear the title of Emperor to the grave
with him, for every day renders the realization
OF his dreams, as insane as they are guilty, more
d tfcul5 to com pass. The election reVeaod s.
truth that mus. have been very distasteful to the
Government, viz; that the France Of March,
1852, disapproved already of the vote it gave on
scem Der 20 h, 1851. 1t was manifested as much
by the votes given against the Government can
d'dates "a by the abs. aiming of numerous persons
from voting at all, which was in fact equal TO a
hostile vote. | should not, therefore, De at all
surprised to sac fresh course of rigorous meas
uTes opened upon the republican party, by our
illustrious Souloque; bus predic, at the same
time, that ell ais barbarous prosecutions will be
vanquished in the end by the immortal princi-
pies Of liberty which are inherent in the humau
heart
THE SEASON OF LENT, AND GOSSIP ON AFFAIRS
IN THE CAPITAL.
For three weeks past we have been subjected
to excessively cold weather, but the season il
beginning to look like spring. Preachers, more
favored than political orators, can freely display
their evangelical eloquence in the churches Il
being the period of Lent, the churches of Pari
are open every day, and are crowded with far
petitioners, who 60 to listen to the sermons anC
to pray the Lord to pardon the sins they have
committed or may commit, voluntarily or invOl
Antarly, during the season of pleasures.

of the cynic, the joys and gaieties of life. Or
