CHARLOTTE5 AMERICA AS ONE OF THE GREAT POWBBS. Tire Journal des Dtbats of December 23, in an article on the President's Message, signed by S. DeSacy, makes use of the fol lowing language : "The political relations between North America and Europe are daily developing tbemselves. Commerce is the sole cause ; but what is the extent of the field which it occupies at this moment, and what subject does it not affect ? The message mentions two subjects which indicate 1kw America penetrates, day by day, deeper into the heart of European Questions. The first is the question of the payment of the Sound Dues. Undoubtedly, at the instigation of American ship owners, the government of the United Suites, taking here, contrary to custom, the initiative, made known to Den mark that it did not understand that the merchant flag of the United States was ob liged to recognize these rights. The cabinets of Europe have been com pelled, to a greater or less extent, to follow the course of America on this point. In consequence of the policy of the cabinet of Washington, conferences have been held, negotiations have followed, and we are com pelled to submit ourselves to the will of Amciica. The Sound Dues, a feudal insti tution, for which no proportionate equiva lent is returned, but respectable from its antiquity, will be abolished. So far as Europeans are concerned, it will be at the price of a considerable indemnity, but there is reason to believe that the Americans will escape without any indemnity. The other subject, which has a more gen eral import, is the aboluion of the right of privateering in time of war, as well as a more exact definition of what constitutes a blockade. The Congress of Paris, by a re solution, which will redound in history to the honor of our age, as we well remember, rallied unanimously upon the principles of maritime right, for which France, under the old regime and the first Empire, had so urgently insisted. There will be no more letteis of marque, and the neutral flag will be respected. rJhe United Slates, taking the lead again in this path of progress and security of private property, have demand ed that not only shall blockades be defined with the utmost exactness, thus doing away with all paper blockades, but that vessels of war shall no longer exercise the right of making reprisals upon commerce. This complete assimilation between war on land and naval warfare, so far as private property is concerned, has received the tissent of Rus sia, and, as we are informed by the message of President Pierce, that of the Emperor of the French, although the official solution of this new proposition is yet to take place. Under the present circumstances, on the question of the Sound Dues, the American i Ireland are more than great enough to pro Union, as we see, begins to exercise a re- j duce identical results. The cause of the markable influence on the definite decisions difference lies in the difference between the of the European cabinets. In fact it enters thus at 01 ce into concert with the powers in a manner most flattering to its self-esteem and its reputation, for, as its flatterers will not fail to tell it, its actions seems to imply a ngm 01 comroi or even a jurisdiction in cases of appeal. .1 . The moment has come when we must ask ourselves it it does not concern toe 1 1 -I tl I V' -r i 1 . - v v. v 1 1 - j -w j 1 1 . p m ...... whole world that America should enter into 1 its commerce decayed; its fleets vanished : the European system in an open and official ; jts prosperity disappeared, and it has sunk manner.

For the Americans themselves this would be an incomparable advantage. If, up to this period, they have not entered in to those political associations which obtain from time to time in the governments of great civilized states, it has been from caus es which have ceased to exist Formerly the United States were weak, distant and without exterior influence ; at present they are strongjheir exterior influence is becoming more apparent and by the improved facili ties of communication, tbey are now only a few days distant from us. For themselves, that isolation which might at first glance seem a charming position, is really fiHed with disadvantages which, at any given mo ment, may turn into dangers. CONTRAST BETWEEN A MON ARCHY AND A REPUBLIC. The arrival of the President's message in London, has called forth the following observations from a Democratic journal, the People's Paper, edited by Erin-st Joi:e. The contrast between the English Mon archy and the American Republic must strike with force the most superficial read er : "Here we have an old monarchy with a German Royal family costing one million pounds per annum ; a national debt of 800 millions pounds sterling, costing twenty eight millions per annum, and entailed by that German Royal family, through Ger man wars, for German interests ; a heredita ry landed aristocracy, drawing a rental of 100 millions yearly, from the people; a State Church, robbing the same people of eleven millions more every year; a poors- rate equal to the revenue, and a pauper 1 . 1 j.1"V,. 1 !i 1. 1 population equal 10 uie lanatntaowoi mjiuo continental kingdoms and debt, royal ex- lects oongauons wntcn tie uas me means travagances, pauperism, poors-rates, taxa- ; to meet, is but a thief in another form. tion, and land rental increasing constantly, i Men live by their goods, and he, who takes That is what we have here. ! without paying, steals more than their value, "On the other side of the Atlantic, there j for 1,e has also the time and patience of the is a voung Republic, with a native Tresi-1 owner. I :e has to a degree destroyed hon dentwho costs only 5,000 per annum ; est credit, and injured some poor customer, a national debt of only seven million more deserving indulgent aid than himself, pounds, which might be kM off in one j is tIie of' ftU tak meters, the year, without the revenue of the country j molest of all oppressors. It is a mill stone feeling any material drain, an income so large, that the Executive seeks to reduce it by ten million dollars ; no hereditary aris tocracy drawing the life blood from the people's veins ; no State Church 'spoiling' the people as the Israelites were told to spoil the Egytians, we are informed, but for a far less excusable motive ; no paupers and no poors-rates worth mentioning ; no foreign interests predominant in legislation ; no war undertaken for the interests of an alien-descended family ; no decay, no de cline, no threatened ruin ; but, on the con trary, piosperity, wealth, economy, happi ness and contentment. That is what they have there. "Why is this difference ? Because in the one country there is a franchise restrict ed to one seventh of the population, one half of which seventh returns seven-tenths of the representation ; combined with that useless, mischievous, and rediculous institu tion called 'monarchy.' Because in that country there is Universal Suffrage, and a republic. That is the difference be tween the two institutions, as shown in their results. Could there be a more strik ing comment on the relative value of tin two? "President Pierce's last message, just given to the world, presents a picture of prosperity and good government such as 110 other country in the world can show. "Similar prosperity might exist here un der a similar government. The resource: of America are, it is true, greater than our own, but the resources of Great Britain and institutions of the two nations. "Take a case in point. Holland was oner a republic ; it is now a monarchy. When it was a republic, it was rich, prosperous, and happy. Its commerce filled the world : j its floets swopt the seas . it had no tk.bt . i its treasurv was filled to overflowing and ' 1 jts people were the envv and admiration of ftlrt ...r.rl.1 Tt l.mK n mmmrchv. and Wild Beast ix Craven. Many of our readers may perhaps be ignorant of tho fact, that within ten or twelve miles of New bern, on the north side of Neuse, bears, catamounts, and wild cats exist to such an extent, that it is with great difficulty bogs and sheep are reared. Such however is the fact, and we do not see the reason why our members in the Legislature do not take the thing in hand, and have a law passed giving a bounty to the slayer, for every wild ani mal of the kind that may be killed. We were assured on our recent visit to that re gion, that something of the kind was abso lutely necessary. There are other parts of this county and of the State, that are in fested in the same manner by wild beasts. Nctcbem Journal. A SHORT SERMON TO YOUNG MEN. Text : Ott? no man anyOiing. Keep out of debt. Avoid it as you would war, pestilence and famine. Shun it as you would the devil. Hate it with a per fect hatred. Abhor it with an en:ire and obsolute abhorrence. Dig potatoes, break stones, peddle tinware, do nnj'thing that i honest and useful, rather than run iu debt. As you value good digestion, and healthy appetite, a placid temper, smooth pillow, sweet sleep,' pleasant dream, and happy waking, keep out td debt. There is but little hope for a young man, who can recklessly wear the chain of debt and speak with an air of humorous pity of his creditors, as did that brazen youth who, on being asked how it was that he could weep of nights, involved as he was, replied j that he could sleep well enough hi- self, j but couldn't imagine how his creditors could contrive to do it, He who w ill incur debts, I 1. .1 1 r l- j-v 1 ! a . . ..in r nras noi' rr nArr. 1 " - f"V - "s about the neck ; an incubus on tlie Heart ; it spreads a cloud over the whole firmament of man's being. It eclipses the sun, it blots out the stars, it dims and defaces the bea'i- tiful blue sky. It bretiks up the harmony of nature, and turns to dissonance all the voices of its melody. It furrows the fore- hea I with premature wrinkles; it plucks out its light; it drags all nobleness and kindness out of the port and bearing of a man. It takes the soul out of his laugh, and all stateliness and freedom from his walk. Come not under his accursed do minion. Pass by it, as you would by a leper, or one smitten by the plague. Touch it not. Taste not of its fruit, for it shall turn to bitterness and tushes on vour lips. Finally, I say to each and all, but especially to you, young man, keep out of debt. Illustrated ATews. GVMXASTICS IN SWBMSH SCHOOLS. There are two respects in which the Swed ish school sj-stcm is far superior to ours. One is the universal teaching of gymnas tic exercises. Everv school building has its large, high room, with earthen or mat ted floor, and all sort of implements for de veloping the muscles ladders, poles, wood en horses, cross bars up to the roof, jump ing places, ropes for swinging, knotted ropes for climbing, 6cc. The scholars are not allowed to exercise on what they wish, but there is a regular, scientifically arrang ed system. They are train d in sqauds, and move and march, sometimes to music, at the word of command. At a large pub lic school at Stockholm, I saw the lads in their noon lessons at gymnastics. The tencher gave the word, and a dozen sprang out toward a tall polo with cross bars, and clambering up it. each hung with his leg . then again recovered themselves nnd let themselves down. Another party, one af ter the other, squirmed up a naked mast ; another pulled themselves up hand over hand on a knotted rope ; others, in succes sion, played leap-frog over a wooden horse they then marched to the beat of the drum. The smaller or weaker boys begin with the lowest grade of exercise, and follow up ! according to a scientific system, arranged j for health. They all sem to go into it with the greatest relish, nnd showed well trained muscular power. I could not but conclude that the superior physique of the . Swedish men is not entirely due to climate, j When will America learn that health and strength have their unescapable laws? Aew York Tribune. Carrying Home Bundles. Many peo ple have a, contemtihle fear of being seen to carry any bundle, however small, having the absurd idea that there is a social de gradation in the act. The most trffli ng as well as the most weighty packages must be sent home to them, no matter how much to the inconvenience of others. This arises from a low sort of pride. There is a pride that is higher, that arises from a consci ousness of there being something in the individual not to be affected by such acci dents worth and weight of character. This latter pride was exhibited by the son of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte. While he wns in college he was one day carrying to his room a broom he had just purchased, when he met a friend, who, noticing the broom, with surprise exclaimed : "Why did you not have it sent home ?" "I am not ashamed to carry home anything which belongs to me," was the sensible reply of young Bonaparte. Lord Stanley, - The Charleston papers note the arrival of Gov. U. F. W. Allston and family in that city. His headquarters will be at Charles ton until 15th April. The steam ship George Law. has arrived from California with one and a quarter mil lion in gold. SLAVE EXEMPTION A NEW QUES TION. We observe that ome of our Southern exchanges are heeinning to njritate tho ques tion of exempting family servants from le gal seizure and execution. . This policy is urged upon the two fold ground that it would have the tendency to diffuse the in stitution of slavery among the present non slaveholders of the South, thereby nvo ding the inroads which abolitionism is seeking to make upon that clnss, and at tho same time to lesson the force of iuo of their most effective appeals to the passions about tha cruelty of forced scperutions of fntntlies. What merit there is iu such a proposition we are not yet prepured to say. The subject is worthy of consideration, and as such we submit it to our renders. The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer, treating this subject, among other things says: "Our reudiug of Northern sentiment, as developed during the agitations of the past summer, enlightened us to the intentions of the North. That intention broke out ; and rflolie through the Republican papers, and while it looked to no violence, it advis ed us of an under current forced to b.vat at our feet with the hope that, in good tiuM we should find our foundations undermin ed, and the South as it is, destroyed. Northern policy goes upon the assump tion that, the non-sinveholders of the South, from interest, are hostile to shivery. 'The question for us to determine is, hew can the interests of the slaveholder and the non-slaveholder be so consolidated ns to destroy this assumption, and produce, south of Mason and Dixon's line, a unit. Southern legislation must be so shaped thnt, iu the course of a few years, the whole j people of the South can bo relied upon to j protect its institutions or honor in uny emor- gency.

If he become a slaveholder from choice, ho must choose between remaining so and di vesting himself voluntarily of the value of such slave property as he may possess. In short, a law, exempting a certain num ber, or a certain amount in value, of slaves from execution or sale for debt, must be en- acted. The commerce and business of tho country would soon nccoimnodute itself to the change, whilst the South would bo brought together, both in interest nnd in the social relation. The chances of South ern occupation as tho common territories of the Union would be thus nineteen times increased, for it is correctly estimated thut nineteen Southern men out of every twenty are non-slaveholders. It is easy to see thut if these nineteen owned slaves, bo they many or few, wherever they might go, their slaves would go with them ; and it is alo very apparent thut, in a contest between the North and the South in the settlement of a territory and the formation of its insti tutions, there is only one Southern man to oppose to twenty Northern men." The Richmond (Virginia) Whig, treat ing of the siime subject, says : "The adoption of the policy indicated would result, it is perceived, in the uuiver- snl diffusion of the slavery among the South ern people, and would, besides, deprive our enemies nt the North of an argument constantly employed by them ngainst us, and not without decided effect. That is, it would take from them the fact upon which they declaim so vehemently, of there being in the South only three hundred and odd thousand actual slaveholders, whom, for their factious and traitorous purposes, they arc pleased to denominate and denounce as the Slave Oligarchy. Establish by law an exemption of family servants from execu tion, and instead of only three hundred thousand uctual slaveholders, we shall soon have as a slaveholder every heud of afami- by in the Southern States ; and who would thus be pecuniaily interested in defending nnd upholding institution so warmly cherished by ourselves, and so bitterly and perseveringly assailed from without." Kashville Union. A Proud Position. The London Times has an article on the probable policy of the President elect, with this flattering inter rogatory : i "Wrho would not be the President of the United States the choice of a nation of freemen ; the object of most intimate care solicitude, nnd contention of !27.00b000 of the most intelligent of the human race, the object at which every man's finger poiots, the topic on which every man's tongue descants raised above his fellow-men by no uccident of birth, by no superiority of wealth, but by tho presumed fitness of hit personal qualities for on of the most ele vated situations that a man may be called upon to fill ?" Female Suithaok. Kentucky is a most gallant and chivalric State. There alone in this country or tlie world is the right of suffrage expressly eouceded to woman. By tho Revised Statutes, auy woman having a child between the age of six and eighteen years, may vote for school trustee.
