LAF.QEST CIS6ULATISNIM THEOITY AND COIIITY TH 1'H.SDAT FEBRUARY 15, 1805. THE FRENCH EMPEROR AND MEXICO. We cannot say that we share in the credu lous glee with which the American paper* catch up the recent declaration of the Em peror, that it is his intention to withdraw the French troops from Mexico. There are per sons who have stood in good position during the late civil war to be weil informed of the that characterized jis recent deal ings with the Confederate authorities, who maintain that Napoleon car/iot make up his mind to a step which, howtver artfully ex plained, must make it patfcnt to the world that the Mexican expedition, the magnifi- cant peisonal conception of his owu brain, was a mistake and a failure. A personal kuowledge of the shameless manner in which he deliberately violated his word in regard to ccrtiio matters of mutual interest to himself and one of the Departments of the Confeder ate Government, at a period in the late con flict when he thought Southern support ne cessary to secure the development of his Mexican policy, induces us to believe that the Emperor of the French is a profound dissembler, and that he will owe it to his own hud character if some of the Americin pe ,i)!e are slow to believe in his promises, hov.evcr solemnly made. Not less in this Mexican imbroglio with the United States, which from the beginning has been prosecuted in a sinister and dissem bling way. than in his quasi diplomatic in tercourse with Mr. Slidell touching the same subject, has he played fast and loose so often that we cannot place confidence in the speech imparted to them by late foreign re ports, until we shall see by the event whether some trick or other, whether some dexterous pluv upon words, is not concealed in his ut terances. Luis Napoleon is represented as having snid iu Lis speech to the French Congress that preparations were making to withdraw the French troops. He has said as much he fore. For more than a year he ha9 inti mated a willingness to withdraw his troops, hu’ ait the while has been sending forward reinforcements, and even as late as the 8th of last month three thousand troops were sent from Toulon to Vera Cruz. There has been all along a great deal of attempted mystification of some very plain proceedings, when the officials talk of the manifest desire of Napoleon to get the French troeps out of Mexico, and to leave Maximil ian to take care of himself. Nobody doubts the sincerity of these wishes, especially when connected with the condition, which he has heretofore attached to withdrawal, that his object iu going to Mexico shall haye been accomplished, and be secure. He would doubtless bo very happy to be relieved of the anxieties which the enterprise has caused him, and which bang around its present con dition; but whoever interprets this into a wiiiiugness to leave, before these ends are effected, make a great mistake. Nor will there be any real significance in the literal withdrawal of French troops at some given day within a few months. It will by no means be certain that there will be fewer French soldiers left in Mexico than are there now. On the contrary there may be more- They will then be Boldiers in the Mexican service, not the French service; in the army of Maximilian, not the French con tingent. We hear even now that some sot t of process is gradually going on ; that volun teers arc sought for for Mexican service, and when Napoleon finally agrees to withdraw the French army from Mexico, there will nevertheless be left a force of foreigners no* less numerous. The obligations of France to Mexico as an ally, by treaties for mutual support, will not be less strong in point of fact if ho should withdraw the troops. We. would not bo understood as desiring the extirpation of monarchy from Mexico if a majority of the people prefer that form of government, and we believe they do, but as simply wishing to expose the perfidiousness of a ruler who seems to think that in the ac- c; mplisfcment of all matters of state policy the r-nd will justify the means. ELEMENTS OF POLlTICAli .ECONOMY. By Arthur Latham Perry, Profeasor of History and Political !' Keotaoiny Williams’ College. It Is questionable whether the reading public re quired another elementary work on tM. branch of science, considering the many excellent publications in the English language; but wit are glad that Profes sor Perry has furnished this additional contribution to the literature of political economy, for it brings down to the latest period some of the most interesting branches of tha science, inch ae currency, the tariff and taxation. Professor Perry's work la remarkable we think for the soundness of its practical views, and the Inaccuracy of its theoretical obndusiona. We shall offer brief comments on several of his chapters, copy ing their titles in the order they appear in his work. os THE HIV TOST OF ISC SCIENCE. The author defines political economy as 'the science of exchanges,or what is exactly equivalent, the science of value." There can be no reasonable objection to this definition. In a subsequent part of hla work the author enters into a criticism of the definitions of the loading writers on the science, objecting to the use of tbo word "wealth,” contained in almost all of them, as the principal end or object of the science. The disadvantage of setting out with a definition instead of making it the result of investigation, his been fre quently remarked as fettering the inquirer. We per ceive that it has done so in the case of Professor Perry. His definition has the advantage of precision, but it is limitod. In bis historical sketch there are several important omissions. He has omitted all mention -of Thomas Tooke, who, In his "History of Prices,” has thrown broad and transparent light on the subject of prices. He has made no allusion to Matthews, whose work Population has formed an epoch In this branch of the scienco. Nor do we see any mention of Oarnior and Chevalier, among the French writers, whosa works on Money have been of the highest value, nor among American writers do we see any reference to the really practical contribution of Mr. Colwell—"The Ways and Means of Payment"—who forms ons of the committee of three to examine and report to Congress such mod ifications of our system of taxation as have become necessary. The slightest mention is made of the Italian writers, not one of them by name, whose searches on Money were among the earliest in Eu rope. FIXED OF THE SCIENCE THE RADICALS BACKING DOWN. The Washington correspondent of tho New York Times, under date 7th inat., *ays the developments in the debate of the preceding day in Hie House of Representatives were exceedingly significant. Mr. Stevens was drawn out so far as to deny that he had ever held that the Slates were dead; they bad always been States, but States of the Con- federacy, not of the Union. This declara tion supti3ed tnaDy who thought they possess c<! sufficient intelligence to understand what Mr. Stevens has so often asserted in the plainest language, viz: that the States lost tneir character as States by the act of the rebellion, and they were now nothing but “dead States” or “conquered territory.” But this admission, says the correspondent, from Mr. Stevens is indictive of an abandonment of the ground which he and a few others h.ive so strenuously advocated since tho opening of the session. It is staled also, that Mr. Bingham of Ohio, who is considered one of the ablest lawyers in the House, went still'further and denied that the States had b. en conquered, that the rebellion had been conquered aod the States were left as b Tore the war. Thus it seems, continues tbo writer, that the moment that the test of absolute fact is applied to this theory of “Stale suicide” it vanishes into thin air, and its most strenuous advocates are obliged to resort to subterfuges, or to acknowledge frankly that the war was waged only for the restoration of the Union, and that the re bellion having been crushed the suspended relations of tho States are again resumed, eubjsct only to such legislation as the changed aud disordered condition of society and the future security of the Republic may demand- The Gunboat Rare. Tho final test of tho long drawn out trial of apood between the gunboats Winooski and Algonquin is to be mads in an actual raco on Long Island Sound. Tho Now York papers of Friday say: " The gunboats will probably drop down to Sands Poiut thfr evening, so as to be in readlnoas for a start on Saturday morning. It is to bo hoped that all vessels running on tlic Sound will give the contestants the right of way. If thisis not done, the results may he oeriouF, as both vc9aels will be going at such a high rate of .peed that it will be next to impossible to stop them ih Vine to avoid a collision. Tho WinOoaki and Algonquin wiU each carry two red lights at the fore cruas-trees. Both vessels are in fine condition for the race, arid we hope that nothing will occur to prevent them luninng the whole distance (800 miles.) The ■Winooski is the favorite vessel at present, having on a trail trip last Sunday made seventy milee in fonrbonra, -.. 0 rave no doubt that the Algonquin will give her ucoe run far it. contains some excellent remarks on the difference be tween political economy and ethics, which hare be come too much bleuded in the investigations of writers and professors, the former being founded on the sci ence of value, and the latter on that of obligation In necessary connection with the history of the sol ence, 1b the chapter entitled “The Mercantile Sys tem.” Professor Perry indicates three epochs in the progress of the science of exohange, each marked by a theory of its own: 1. The bullion system. 2. The mercantile theory. 3. The colonial system. Now it appears to us that our author has disunited the first two of these theories, between which there was a substantial Identity. The leading principle of the bullion theory was that national wealth consisted of gold and silver exclusively. This was also the leading principle of the mercantile theory. The ob ject of both was to produce a balanoe of trade received in these metals, by making the exports to exceed in value the imports. Such was also the leading pur pose of the mercantile theory, which he has dlstin- gulibed from what he call* the bullion theory. The object was identical and so were the means the pro tective system consisting of prohibitions and high duties on imports end bounties on exports. There is then no ground for this distinction sought to be es tablished by Professor Perry. " VALUE.” Wo have seen that Professor Perry having defined political economy to be science of values, substitutes tho word service for commodities. He denies the agency of intervention of commodities in producing value, \alue, he contends, has no reference to any thing tangible—it is simply a relation. Now, no one can deny that value is relative, nor will any one ques tion that services enter largely into all exchanges; but those who deny that commodities also form a very large class of exchanges, must be prepared to dispute the vis'ence of matter. They must be classed as Idealists in the science of political economy. They would deny the objectivity and insist on its subjeo tlvity exclusively. That we do not exaggerate the language of Professor Perry, the following quotation from his chapter on value will show: •' Another advantage of the definition of value now given, and one closely connected with the last will be seen In the foot that it frees the discussion from the perplexing error which has long infected this class of Inquiries, namely, that value is somehow or other con nected with matter. This notion hu controlled the definitions oi wealth; hu led, u we have just seen, to groundless distinctions among services, and hu taken possession of language so thoroughly that no judicious writer will attempt at this late day to dislodge It from that strongest of the citadels of error. Bather than disturb the current nomenclature of business he wfi allow such expressions u these to stand: 'gold hu value; strawberries have value. ’ Nay, he will use such expressions himself, because they are short and intel- ligible. At the same time he will clearly explain and endeavor to make everybody see that such expressions are only allowable u figures of speech. To speak with scientific accuracy it is not true to uy that gold hu value, because there are circumstances under which it hu none. Gold hu specific gravity and other essential qualities, always and everywhere; but it has value only when human services have been employed on it and may be subserved by It; and I now proceed to prove and illustrate the position that value does not reside in matter, or in any form of matter, but only In human services exchanged; and that, therefore, value Is never of God’s creation, but always of man' creation.” We will now leave our readers to determine whether Professor Perry hu improved the nomenclature of political economy by the substitution of services tor commodities. The effect of the dootrine that all value is resolvable into an exchange of services is to con fuse the science instead of contributing to its sim plicity, u alleged by Profeuor Perry. To confine the range of objects exchanged to services, and to exclude commodities, hu no foundation In feet and experience. The author's theory that the services usually deemed unproductive are.really productive, may be safely ad. mitted u adding indirectly to value, without giving undue prominence to material products; but to ex. elude matter entirely from the idea of value in ex change, is to give on the other hand an undue promt- nence to reproductive labor—to services u they are oalled by the author. We have thus considered the leading propositions of the author in the theoretical and elementary branches of the sclenoe, reserving our remarks his practical conclusions to another opportunity. The Debate on the Navy Appropriation B1U. We have previously announced the passage of the Navy Appropriation Bill by the Houu of Representa tives, after striking out the items for Norfolk and Pen sacola. The sum proposed in the bill for the Pensa cola Navy Yard was $28,000, which was designed to put the yard In condition to repair disabled ships-of-war, and thus avoid the necessity of sending them from the Gulf to Northern yards for repairs. The debate on this proposition shows not only the selfish motives which actuated the members who opposed the South ern appropriation, but discloses a degree of distrust of Southern loyalty on the part of some members only equalled by their oonfidence in the ability of the na tion to meet the world in arms: Mr. Rogers would like to know the object of strik ing out all these appropriation*, unless it was that this Navy Yard waa located in a Southern Bute. Maxi milian la about to give up his throne, and It is possible wo may have a war with Franco or England. There fore be was in favor of potting the country in a com plete condition to enforce the power. "Mr. Thayer said it was of the utmost consequence that we should preserve the Navy Yard at Pensacola. It waa the point which defended the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Ingersoll of III, in reply, said that whether in volved iu a war with England or France, we have a sufficient force not only to guard our own territory, but to wipe out the combined uaviee of tho world. The material of which our ships an composed comes from Pennsylvania and other Northern btales, where tho irou is worked with facility. “Mr. Darling of N. Y„ Mid while it was true that no ships were necessary to be constructed at Pensaco la, it was undoubtedly true that provision should be made at that point for the repair of our ships, without being compelled to come North for -that purpose, and thus be withdrawn from the Gulf. "Mr. Banks of Mas*., said he would vote against tho Pensacola Yard for the same reason that he voted against the Norfolk Yard. He voted against thoso yards because the communities were in an unsettled condition, and in the event of having trouble with France or England it might be possible that these com munities would be arraigned against us. ” France and Mexico. Tho folio volume containing the review of the situs' tion o." the Empire has been d)|tributed the Sena tors and members of the Chamber of Deputies. Un- der the head of;, "Foreign Afairs" the Blue Book thus speaks of Mexico: "When the Emperor's government undertook the expedition to Mexico it had an object In view which its conduct was made to serve, and upon which decisions still depend, for a number of years past our countrymen have constantly suffered acts of vio lence aud pillage committed with the evident com plicity of agents of the Mexican authorities. We were under the re -essity of-declsring war. The anarchy which hod be orae the normal condition of Mexico had tor come time given subject for reflection to her principal citizen®, who deplored the increasing dect- deuce of their country. Despairing of re-establishing order under the system then existing, they enter tained the project of returning to Monarchy, of wLuib independent Mexico made a first trial in 1822. They had received, more thah ten years previously, some encouragement from the very chief who was then at the heed of the Mexican Republic. They considered that file moment had not come to make an appeal to the country. His Majesty’s government did not feel Justified in withholding from them its sympathies, tmt we went to Mexico with the object of obtaining the reparation which we had demanded, end not with the tdea of monarchical proselyttam. His Majesty him self declared, in a letter addressed to the commander- in-chief of our army after the taking of Puebla, that It was for the people alone to pronounce upon the form of the institutions which suited them. Our troops are not, therefore, in Mexico with the object of inter vention. The Imperial government has constantly rejected this doctrine as contrary to the fundamental principle of our public law. We have carried our arms Into that country by vir tue of the right of war, aud we have remained there up to the present moment In order to assure the re sults of the war—that is to say, obtain the guarantees and securities demanded by the interests of our coun trymen. Mexico is now governed by regular authori ty, etricily fulfilling iu engagements, and causing for eign subjects and their property to be respected in its territory. When the necessary arrangements shall 'mv been concluded with the Emperor Maximll' ■■ fir f.-cm declining the consequences of our prin L m the matter of intervention, we shall be ready to a -cept them as a rule of conduct for all tho Powers. If will then be easy for us to fix the period at which ttie return to France shall take place of that portion of the Mexican expeditionary corps hitherto maintained on Mexican 9oi). The documents relative to this affa-r w ill bo subsequently communicated to the great bodies of the State. NEW A DVEHTI8KHENT8. Solomon’s Lodge, No. I, A. F.
