The Election Canvnss--Political Bearings in

LONDON, Sept. 25 1870.
The files of French journals latest to hand from
the cities go show that the question OF the coming
elections to the National Assembly still much
discussed In France.
Most OF the journals approve OF appointing them
to take place earlier than usual. but some extreme
republican journals are very angry.
The ReUeu says-Favre tells us the Assembly
must be convoked, SO that we may treat regularly
with Prussia. He forgets that the republic will
never treat with the invaders, and we tell him
plainly beforehand that shall regard all Deputies
who may receive this supreme dshonor as traitors
Having asked what kind OF an Assembly that would
be In which there were representatives from Al
SAGE, Lorraine, Champagne or Isle De France, and
where 1t would meet, the ReUeU says:-No; thou
sand times no. The election of October 2 is impos.
sible IL Will not take place.
The Arensr National foresees great difficulties In
the election on account OF hostile occupation.
The Temps says II one department remained firm
that department would represent aud exercise the
whole sovereignty Of the nation.
The Figaro publishes very Sc rious appeal which
may be thus epitomlzed:-We have neither artillery
generals nor soldiers IL is necessary to acknOw-
ledge this and not to delude ourselves with dreams.
The hour for fanfaronades is past. All Frenchmen
are brave, but handful OF Chasseurs de Vincennes

but maladroit. frenchmen, weigh this matter well
Meet consult, resolve; then send men to declare
plainly whether you wish war or peace. If you feel
you have more courage than military resources DO
not be afraid to do your duty.
The Sece protests enersetically against what IL calls
misunderstanding, that In the elections the coun.
try is being summoned to choose between republic
and some other form OF government. The question,
it protestsrcannot be raised The republic exists In
law and in fact and is as regularly constituted az
any form Of government has ever been In Franco.
