The United st.t.s and the French Revolution.


The United States and the French Revolution.
The position that may be assumed by the uni
ted States, In the present crisis of French and
European affairs, will not only be important t6
both CO ailments, but may affect the future history
of the civilized world This republic is the mo-
del and exemplar of the revolutonists of France,
and of all Europe. They copy our constitution,
initiate institutions, follow political fash
ions, and adopt our principles of public policy
The new movement in Paris will only tend to
heighten and extend those sentiments towards
the United States.
This being the case, ii is therefore highly i'm
portant that the people and government of this
public should, calmly, deliberately, and firmly,
assume such position towards the new French
revolution, and other revolutionary movements
In Europe, as will correspond with the cha
racter, the principles, and the power of this
great confederacy. The prominent measures
which have agitsted Congress during the existing
session, will have to be laid aside, or abandoned
as unimportaut, before the vastness of the new
prospect which opens upon from across the
Atlantic. The first thing that should be done
at once, by Congress and the President, is the
enlargement Of the nary and the immediate insti-
tuition Of naval academies similar in principle and
objects, to,cards the naval serrice as our military
academies hare been toDards the military service
oft republic. The Mexican war is finished
The new treaty is on its way to that republic;
and whether it be ratified or not by the Congress
at Queretaro, henceforth the Mexican leaders
and people cannot move to the right hand or to
the left. The revolution in France, and the
downfall of Louis Philippe, with probable re-
volution IL Spain and elsewhere, take away all
chances Of the monarchists in Mexico, to make
any head in that part of the world.
Let, therefore, the Congress at Washington
withdraw their eyes and attention from the
southern republic, and concentrate all the ir mind
on the new republic, which has risen with the
rapdity of meteor on the other side of the At
lantic, and which will produce effects on the old
continent, that can hardly be estimated, for their
magnitude, at this moment. All our great men,
statesmen and orators, must prepare for the new
age which is opening upon them. The United
States, as republic, will soon stand at the head
of civilization; but first there is mighty and
prodglous conflict to pass through in Europe,
and how they may brook it, or what direction it
may take, no one can predict with accuracy at
this moment.
Let the President and Congress wake up at
once. A vast problem is before them. They
cannot put it aside. They cannot postpone its
solution. Wake up-wake up-wake up.

New INFLUENCE ON PARTIES IN THE UNITED
SrATEs.-The revolution In France, and the po-
hey which must soon be adopted by the United
States government, will produce u correspond.
'ag effect on the feelings and attitude of parties
IN this country.
During the old revolution of 1889, the demo-
cratic party Of that day sympathzed with the
popular movement in France; and the federalists,
on the contrary, took sides with England and
the monarchical institutions of Europe. hat
was an unfortunate issue Tor the old federalists;
and after long contest on these points, the de-
mocratic party finally triumphed, and the fede-
ralists sunk into nothingness and inanity.
The new revolution in Europe will throw a
similar issue before the action of parties in this
country, and that too, in short time, before the
Presidential election. Hitherto, il has been sup
posed that the Mexican war would be the only
issue affecting or determining the Presidential
campaign. We may now say that the Mexican
war, and all its glory aud all its disgrace, il any
there Is, will be placed entirely in the back
ground. In less than month, Mexico will not
be heard of. The army will return from that
country as soon as the treaty reaches there and
Is ratified, and all IN proper Time, without word
being said New issues, fresh, invieor4ting and
animating, will be placed before the American
people; and that issue will be the great contest
between popular liberty in Europe, and the in
stitutons of monarchy.
This, we believe, will have a great effect on
the Presidential election; end il will be well for
all politicians to be wary how they take any
ground during the next few months.

THE GREAT FfNANcIERs IN EURopE.-The re-
volution in Paris, and the probable spread of re-
volution throughout Western Europe, and
perhaps in England, will produce an equally
destructive and terrible revulsion among the
great capitalists, bankers, merchants, and finan-
ciers throughout the Old World.
The aggregate public debt of the diferen-
countries in Europe, excluding Russia, is pro,
baby about six thousand millions of dollars,
the interest on which amounts annually to about
three hundred millions of dollars. This great
sum of money is expended in the maintenance
of kings and courts, and aristecracy and mill
tary. All the great fnanciers and capitalists of
Europe have the principal portion of their pro-
perty invested in these funds. A radical revo-
luton over the Old World, destroying the exist
ing governments-as that of France was destroy
ed three weeks ago-would annihilate this vast
amount of property, and hand over to ruin and
bankruptcy all the rich bankers and capitalists
who own it. In fact, the great fnanciers O!
Europe are worth nothing at this minute beyond
the furniture IN their houses, and the gold and
silver in their iron chests.
The revolution in Paris will produce greater
revulslon on the monied afillrs of Europe, and a
greater change in the social affairs of individuals
and wealthy families, than any that has been
produced, from the creation OF the world to the
present day. The debts of Europe have been ac-
cumulatIng for period of one hundred and fifty
years, through nearly dozen intestine wars OF
all kinds. These wars have imposed on diff
ferent nations a yearly revenue of three hun.
dred millions of dollars, which is taken from the
industry of the population, to support in deness,
sloth and extravaganza, royalty and all its trap
pings. There is land enough IN Europe, if pro-
perly cultivated, to support all the inhabitants,
and half as great number besides; but the quail
state OF society, and the attrocous system of CO.
vernment, produce the inequalities established
in Europe-thus bringing about famine, pestl-
lence and death, go frequently in those unfortu-
nate countries.
The effect of such revulson will be tremen-
dous on commercial affairs in Europe, and also
On the manufacturing energies. At the last ac-
counts, the cotton operatives OF England were
preparing TO emgrate to the United States in
large numbers; and we have no doubt that the
revolutionary movement commenced in France,
will send to the United States vast numbers of
artisans OF all kinds and also of small capitalists,
and others, who can save their little property
from the approaching wreck. In the meantime,
all the commercial interests in the large cities
on this continent, Intimately connected with the
large cities Of Europe such as London, Liver
pool, Havre and Parjs-will soon feel one of the
severest revulsions and shocks that was ever
felt in this country. Look forward-prepare for
It, 1t will not however, affect the prosperity of
the United States, but extravagant people, who
will fall without notice; and industry and pru-
dence will take their places.

SUMTER CELEBRATION.

The l7,h, the day fixed for the Festiv.
al in honor of Company a., "'The Sum.
,ers," Of The Palmetto Regiment, was
celebrated at Sum,erville with allsthe
honorable feeling and appropriateness,
which characterizes the people. Of Sumter
District. The greater part of the day
was threatening, and the sky exhibited a
lowering appearance. With the sligh,
inconvenience, however, Of u shower i'm
mediutely preceding the ceremonies, the
clouds served to temper, the heat Of the
day.
During the evening previous, and on
The morning of the celebration, visiters
poured into the village in great numbers,
and it seemed as if,hc who3e district had
come forth in congrcgated masses TO do
honor to "Thc Sumters." Many, too,
were present from Kershaw and Richland
and took their full part iR the festivities
of the day.
The Hon. r. J.. NOSES, our Senator
from Claremont, presided with his nccus.
TONED efficiency and dignity and wclcom-
cd the Pulmettocs in short and fervent
address. The Grafton was delivered bv
SAMUEL MAyRAST, Esq, who portrayed
TO the assembled Sumtcrs and members
'oflhc Palmetto Regiment present, in vivid
and eloquent lnngaagn, their career and
the horors which they had gained. The
small remnant Of the devoted band stood
before him and listened with the dignity
of citizen soldiery 10 the honorable tcs,i-
monials Of their brave conduct and the
plaudi,s Of grateful and admiring re-
public.
The fair daughters OF Sumter, too,
were present, and graccd the honors 10
stern, manly, valor, with the approving
smiles Of beauty.
After the close Of the grafton, the com.
pany assembled around the festive board,
at the head Of which sat the Hon. Scna.
tor Moses, the Prcsidcn, Of the day.
Abundance weighed down the tables, and
the loud cheering, given 10 the lousts, tes-
tilted the spirit, interest, and enthusiasm
OF tho people in the occasion. Upwards
of three thousand persons were present, OF
whom five hundred were ladies'.
The Festival throughout, was conduct
ed in manner worthy Of The occasion,
and, after day Of great and uninterrupt-
ed enjoyment, the people quietly dispersed
10 their several homes.
Praise is due to the committee for their
management, and to Mr.. JOHN CHINA,
who was employed by them TO supcrin-
send tho immediate preparations for the
