President MacMahon's manifesto to the
Electors of France points out that since his
accession to power he has, by appealing to
the moderate of all parties, e~ndeavored to
insure order at home and peace abroad. He
has only resorted to a fresh appeal to the
country when this double blessing appeared
to him to be compromised. The manifesto
declares that the question of form of govern
ment is beyond discussion. The Marshal
will cause the Constitution to be respected.
Elections adverse to his policy would
mean an aggravated conflict, and agitation
preiudicial to all interests, while elections
favorable to that policy would signify the
re-establishment of harmony between the
public powers. The manifesto concludes
with an appeal to the country to place its
confidence in the Marshal President. The
foregoing is a summary of the manifesto is
sued by the semi-oficial agency in anticipa
ton of the publication of a full list.
