London, May 50. The French papers of Friday 17, have arrived. The elections to the Chambers absorb every other interest in France. From the organiza-

Mr. Editor:

have undertaken to point out to the

therefore, through the medium of
the Press, to bring to view, what I conceive to be glaring errors, and false
suffrage of all well wishers of their
country,7 wey niusi view mm as a
man superior in abilities ana integ
rity to any other member sent from
that part of this state composing ine
third cotlgrcsiional district; conse
quently a larger portion of censure
must be laid on him, than on any o ther member, for the bad legislatioi
of the last session respecting the dis
tricting of the state. If Mr. Ferris is poesed of the sagacity that his friends would feign have us believe he is, there is great room to suspect that the exclusion of these counties from this district, was not unintentional with him. It is a fact, which was not unknown to Mr. Ferris at the passing of this law, that a majorit) of the" citizens of these counties are opposed to his election. From this circumstance, together with some others that might be mentioned, I am strongly led todoubtthe hones

I would ask the gentleman how the people are to ascertain the abilities of those who have served them? Can they not detei mine this by ex

This is a question which remains to be answered. Admitting the statements of "Franklin" to he true, of which there is no doubt, can the gentleman come for
