THE HALANCE OF TRADE.
In the comments we made yester- .
day on that part of the Treasury Report,
in which Mr. Corwin compares
the exports of the country with its
imports, and expresses his alarm at
finding that we have brought more
wealtn into the country than we have
sent out of it, an accidental mispla- |
cing of part of two sentences, made I
4 * 1 .?
Hie en^uiuciii useu unintelligible. As
the matter is of great importance, we
here reproduce the entire passage,
corrected.
'Mr. Corwin has made another dis
covery, which alarms him very much.
We have sent abroad, in the past
year, merchandise and specie, to the
value of about one hundred and fifty-1
two millions of dollars. At this dis-j
covery, Mr. Corwin's hair rises on j
end. Here, he exclaims, is an ex-,
trava^ant mid unsafe importation,
here is a vast debt due to foreigners.
Boys, when they take their first
lessons in political economy, are ofInn
hecnt li? oiwillo"
>vu uuwv '/j auiiiiai icni a< > v 111:11
they learn, however, that the goods
which we send out are greatly in- 1
creased in value on arriving at a foreign
market, that, in the ordinary 1
course of commerco, they are sold 1
there for prices which cover all the
expenses of their transportation, and
yield a profit besides to all who are
concerned in forwarding and disposing
of them, their alarm abates.
'They then begin to see that, to 1
pursue a healthy and successful trade, 1
our imports must exceed our e> ports
in value; we must bring back more 1
than we send away. Mr. Corwin '
says there is a balance of twentv-six '
millions against us, He should have
said, there is a balance of twenty-six !
millions in our favor. We are twen- 1
ty-six millions the richer on account '
of our foreign trade. We bring back
in the proceeds of our goods, so much
more tnan w? exported.' 1
We have before us BastiatV Soph 1
isms of the protective Policy,1 an ex- 1
ceedinglv clever book, translated hv
Mrs. McCord, of South Carolina, !
which we would recommend to the 1
perusal of Mr. Corwin, before ho
make? another annual report to Con- 1
gress. If he were to learn nothing I
else from it, he might, at least, be instructed
that there are ^ome ahsur- dities
so completely" exploded, that it <
is well to avoid them in #uch a state .
paper as the annual Treaaury Report, '
if onlv for tllft of *??nnnir?f? ?
imputation of ignorance in regard to
he commonest matters. With respect
to this fancy of Mr. Cor win,
about the balance of trade, k appears
from Bastiafstreatise, that the shrew
der part of the French protectionists
give it up, as too preposterous to be
insisted upon. Mr. (*authi?r de Romilly
savs: 'Assuredly no one wish
esto call up from their graves the de ^
funct theories of the balance of trade. 1
Others, however* like Mr. Corwin. <
cling 16 it with a certain stolid tenac- <
it V, and among these is one Mr-Les- <
tibndois, who states his position thus: 1
'The amount of importation is aug- 1
menting and surpassing that of ex- <
portation. Every year France buys '
more foreign prodnce, and sells less *
native produce. In 1842, we see J
the ?xceed the exporta- '
tion by two hundred milliorts. This
appears lo me to prove in the clearest 1
uimuier* ums iifuive mnor is no! sum- I
cieriUy protected, that we are provi- f
ded hy foreign labor, and that the 3
< ompelition of rivals oppresses our 3
industry. A country may spend, dis- I
sipate its previous savings, may im- *
poverish itself, and by the consump- 1
tion of its national capital go gradual
ly to ruin. This is precisely what
we are doing. We give every year 1
two hundred millions to foreign na- '
tions.' 1
r The position here taken is precisely (

ports more than she exports, to the '
amount of two hundred millions of .
francs yearly. The American finan
cidr observes, tbat the Ufated Siates <

concluding that we either lose that 1
amount, or are running ?ip a debt to |

BTVnc (curacy ot doth the i1 ranchman <
and American, is so neatly anfo unan- *
swerahly refuted by Hasimt, that wc 1
copy the passagf here, and inasmuch J
as Mi-. '|n' n?t * w^|>eHcve, J
been c aous io compare on this subject,
the accounts or the counter with
those of the custom house, interpreted
by Mr. Lestibudois, with the
sanction of our six hundred legislators.
Mr. T. despatched from Havre a
vessel, freighted for the Uniten States
with French merchandise, principally
Parisian articles, valued at 200:'X)0f.
'It was sold at twenty per cent.
Crofit on its original value, which
eing 40,000 francs, the price of sale
was 330,000 francs, which the assignee
counted into cottons. The cottons
again had to pay for expenses
of transportation, insurance, commissions,
&Cm ten per cet. so that when
the return car^o arrived at Havre,
its value had risen to 352,000 francs,
and it. was thus entered at the custom
house. Finally, Mr. T. realized again
on 1 his return cargo twenty per
i r.
icui pruuii amounting to 7U,4UUt.
The cottons thus sold for 422,400f.
lIf Mr. Lestibud< is requires it, I
will send him a.i extract from the
books of Mr. T. He will there see
credited to the account of profit and
loss?that is to say, set down as gained,
two sum', the one of 40,000, the
other of 70,400 francs, and Mr. T.
feels perfectly certain that, as regards
these, there is no mistake in ius account.
'Now what conclusion does Mr.
Lestibudois draw from the amounts
??i ???
Dincicu ui 11if5 custom nouse in mis
operation? He thence learns that
I< rnnce has exported 200,000 francs
and imported 352,000 whence the
honorable deputy concludes that she
lias spent, dissipated her previous sa.
vings, that she is impoverishing herself,
and that she has squandered on
a foreign nation 152,000 francs of her
capital.
sometime alter this transaction,
Mr. T. despatched another vessel
Eigain freighted with national produce
(o the amount of 200,000 irpncs. But
the vessel foundered on leaving the
port, and Mr. S. had only to inscril>e
on bis book# two little items
thus worded: W '
'Sundries due to X. 200,000 francs,
for purchase of divers articles despatched
by vessel N.
'Profit and loss due to sundries
?uu,uuu francs lor tinal and total loss
if cargo.1
'Tn tne meantime the custom house
nscHbed 200,000 francs upon the list
if exportations, and astner^canoi
course be nothing to balance this enry
on the list of importations, it
>cnce follows, ihnt Mr. T.f>s:tihudois
md the Chamber must see in this
wreck, a clear profit to France, of
200.000 francs.
'We may draw, however, yet alother
conclusion, viz: that accorlinpr
to the Balance of Trade theory,
France has an exceedingly simple
nariner of constantly doubling her
?api!ol. It is only necessary, to accomplish
this, that she should, after
entering at the custom house her arioles
for exportation, cause them to
le thrown into the sea. By this
course, her exportations can speedily
je made to equal her capital; imporationswillhe
nothing, and our gain
.vii! be nil that the ocean has swaloweii
up.
'Yon are joking, the projectionists
vill reply. You know that it is impossible
that we should utter such abmrdities.
Nevertheless, I answer,
fou do utter them, and what is more,
/on give them iife, you exercise them
practically upon your fellow citizens
is much, at least, as in your power
o do.
'The truth is. that the thnnrv nf th?
rmlance of trade should be precisely
reversed. The profits accruing to
he nation from any foreign commerce
should be calculated by the
werplus of the importation above
he exportation. This overplus, ater
the deduction of expnscs, .?the
-eal gain.
Here we have the true theory, and

Corwin, according to the theory laid
down in his report, will have lost
money. His imports will have exceeded
his exports by nearly two

the South will be independant in

why may not New Orleans' by carrying

always to be effects, and our j
schools hot-beds for Northern uni i
versities? Have we not self-respect, 1
which will spare those who thin?: with
the magazine contributors the need i
of apolgizing for keeping our company?
It is useless to say such feelings
do not exist. They do; and the evidence
is the catalogues of Northern
colegei, the millinery billsof Southern
ladies, the rush of Southern planters
to Northern watering places; and the
publication of such articles in a European
magazine of note, copied for 1
home circulation into a poDufar New 1
York periodical. We have no desire
to fan'the present sectional excite-1
merit, and, so far as that is concern
1 /v * . ? 1
eu, we can anord to laugli at the stories
of "chaining negroes at night in
gin-houses, ana feeding them gn boiled
cotton seeds;" of Secretaries of the
cabinet at Washington vending their
slaves at New Orleans for prostitution
and similar amiable stories of the
Hutchinson Family, Whitter, Russell
Lowell, and other Abolition poets.
But we are earnest, for a total secession
in matters of education and for
independence thought on what is
best for southern manners and interests.
A few more Vicks in the face
like the one that . 'e have copied,
and possibly we may have a beginning
made at Home literature; and our
planters will discover that the south
is "genial1' as well in summer as in

nor deirauds tne ignorant, nor betrays
the innocent, who has continually
abidingly, in the language of Mr.
Burke, that sensibility of principle*
that chastity of honor which feels a
stain liko a wound. We menfi him
who, to the loftiness of virtue, adds I
the gentleness and forbearance of a
generous and magnanimous chivalry;
who shields and protects the person
and character of the humblest and
most friendless female, because she
wears the form, and has the weakness
of woman; who to Ms enemies
is iortvniirigi tliwUgh hfi ha? the pow2r
to injure*, who to the poor is coni'
sconcing and kind, tnough they
have no power to repay; who to the
rich, and great, and distinguished, is
respectful without beincr obsequious,
civil without being sen ile; who to the
iuimility, gentleness and charity of I
she christian, adds that firmness, dur
lity and self-respect, necessary for the
vindication of his own honor, when
mpeached, for the preservationof his
>wn character, when assailed.'
