Intending to prosent ohr views upon this subject plainly, and addressing them to practi cal people and practical nseS ohly, we wish, first of all, to relieve onrseiyes of eertain mis conceptions to which .the disenssion is usually liable.' In the first place, .we do not write in the Interest of capitalists or of manufacturers. VTo are not hostile to either of them; but they oan.take care of themselves, and if they cannot, our help would be unavailing. We have .another .-reason for this: The largest capitalists' and' tho greatest manufacturers in thc wotld ate free traders. Having the com mand of the money which commands the ma chinery,and skill that defies all competition, the W-aione policy is both principle and prae tio6 with them, and as they need none of our help, It is not In their behalf that we would Interfere. . -In the next place, It is not for the general benefit of all the races and nations of the earth that wo concern ourselves; and, of course, we are not about to enlist In the advo cacy. of. any of these general abstractions which either assume or look towards all the interests of all tho world at once. Millen nial'and cosmopolitan theories wo leave to theVscholars and students who have the lei sure: to' cultivate them, and to wait for their realization. ;With us.lt is primarily a question oi tho in terests of Labor, and, resultingly, of our own Country’s welfare. Those are the things 'which-need the helpful care of -the Oivil Go .vernment of the country, and they are enti tlid to both assistance and defence from all who have the power, either of oifoial station tq iprotect thorn, or of that public, opinion which indhcea its exercise. So far as capi-, ted and'Enterprise in its holders are tributary tp tWseendSj they are just claimants upon the Government and tho public. - In all that con cerns f heir separate’interests, they are both Independent and indifferent. .Money, and the ability to manage it, are nevbr in so good a condition for. making great gains its when labor and its immediate conoerns -are in the worht oirbnmstances. ' ' In 1850 there were eleven millions Of ppople tn the United States between the ages of fif teen: and sixty. One million (In; found num bers) were engaged in mannfaetttring,(mining, told the mechanic arts, (counting only those establishments which produced, above $5OO worth of products per annum;) and the wages of this' million of people—three fourths of them men, one fourth women—amounted to two hundred and. thirty millions of dollars, which sum was almost exactly one fourth of the value of the'commodities whlct they pro duced. , . There were at that ttide another half mil lion of persons engaged. In arts and trades, not working in factories; there were' two and a half millions employed in agricultural labor, and one million in work not agricultu ral; making altogether five millions of per aons occnpied in productive industry. Al lowing this army of producers an ayerage of fifty cents a day,"their earnings for the-year would amount to'seven hundred and fifty mil lions, which is about the one fourth of the total annual product of tho nation’s industry, and probably a sufficiently correct estimate of its ; value. It is,'at least, near- enough to the truth, for onr purposes. The agriculturists and manufacturers whose capital, labor, and care are. concerned in car rying oh these industries, and who depend open them for their own support, must cover at least two more fourths of the grand annual product. This great’interest of above two thousand millions per annnm; with thecnmnla tive. wealth, beyond the consumption of the producers, which it yields to the nation, is the matter about which we concern ourselves. Every toplo which we shall touch la onr treat ment of the general subject will be regarded as subsidiary to it, and will be considered only as it bears upon this primary and chief matter of our study. Regarding the productive labor of the na tion : as the proper and principal subject of its concern and care, and the wealth and pros perity resulting from it as the sum of all the Objects for which a nation Is politically or ganized, and for whieh it tabes a separate and Independent existence among the Govern ments of the earth, we proceed to lay down a few economical propositions for the lisa which 'theywill serve iuourOtscusslon—propositions, although abstract in form, yet so plain, perti nent, and .practical, that they muat command an instant assent and acceptance: E First.' That nations are composed of indi viduals.' . , . Second. That whatever contributes to the welfare,' prosperity,' and happiness of the in dividuals composing the nation, contributes, in proportionate degree, to the welfare, pros perity, and happinoss of tho nation at large. Third. Thai the wealth of a nation consists of the aggregate 'wealth of the individuals com posing the nation. Fourth. That the thrift oi each individual requires that bis income he greater than his outlay; his earninga greator than his expenses. Fifth; That, in like manner, the thrift of a nation requires that, in its dealings with the rest of the world, its income shall be greater than its outlay; its sales greater than its pur chases; its exports greater than its imports. Sixth. That an individual, to thrive, must sell his surplus products for more than he pays for those which he purchases for consumption. " Seventh. That,.in like maimer, a nation, to thrive, must sell its surplus' productions for more than the value of its imports. Eighth. That the balance against an indi vidual, in the exchanges of products which he makes with his neighbors, mußt be paid out of bis capital, diminishing its amount, and, to that extent, its reproductive powers—tending to bankruptcy. Hinth. That the debtor nation must, in like manner, settle the balance of its exchanges with other nations out of its capital, thereby diminishing its amount and its reproductive powers—tending to general business embar rassment. ' ' Tenth. That the debt-balance of an indivi dual, measured as it is by the dollar of ac count, must be paid in money, or in its convertible equivalent of his other capital. . Eleventh. That nations, in their dealings With each other, and in paying balances due to each other, require money in settlement, and reoognise nothing as money except gold and silver. Twelfth.'That whatever an individual buys, beyond the amount of what he sells, is too dear at any price, no matter how cheap. Thirteenth. That whatever a nation buys, beyond the value of what it sells to other na tions, is, In like manner, too dear at any price, no matter how cheap. , - i. ..Fourteenth. That the maxim of trade— “ buy cheap and sell dear”—does not warrant the bnying cheap first, and risking the selling dear afterwards; or, the bnying cheap with out the certainty of selling dear, and to the foil amount of all that is so bought. Fifteenth. That a prudent individual will observe frugality, and practise home industry, at a low rate oi remnueration lor time and labor, rather than purchase commodities at a cheaper rate than he can himself produce them, if he cannot carry to market his own products to an equivalent or greater amount. Sixteenth. That a nation mußt practise the like frugality, and create by Its home Industry the commodities required for its consumption, rather than purchase them, however cheap, from other nations, who do not take their equivalent in its productions. Seventeenth. That a balance oi trade against an individual suspeuda his busi ness, reduces his capital, cripples his pro ductive industry, and impoverishes him. Eighteenth. In like manner, a balance of trade against a nation throws it into a mone tary revulsion, withdraws its active capital, suspends its industry, and drives it into bank ruptcy, . . 'While we insist upon the truth and forae of these; propositions, as applied to the busi ness of .nations, we wonld have it understood that we do not enter into the specnlative con troversy, so long and so fruitlessly pending between ; political economists, upon the“ ba lance of trade” question. We speak hero only of a real and. effective indebtedness, arising upon'international trade; and we do hot look for its evidence, or for its amount, to the custom-house accounts of imports and ex ports.- We do not reiy upon their valuations 'or their apparent balances, and we are, therefore, unincumbered in our argument by the thousand and one Insoluble questions which 'arise fropr them. ;:.Bttt',whiiewe would avoid the “debatable ,gronnd” ofthis subject, as leading, to endless disputes, we will take leave to say) that so far a* thVvAluatien of tbqimpertg apd exports of the United States (officially reported).go, the apparent balance against us is certainly not more than the real difference of our exchanges, because it is riot more than our known foreign debt at this time. Before the year 1821, tho Treasury reports did not give the value of our imports—for all time prior to that year we have only their esti mated amounts. From the year' 1821 till Juno, 1857, as they stand in tho Treasury re port last published, their valuation is taken from official documents. The same thing is true of the movements of specie as they are given In the reports. Mow, ftom 1821 till June, 1857—as appears by the report of .last year—our total Imports, including speoie, amounted to five thousand three hundred and eight millions of dollars, and our exports, including specie, to five thousand and twenty millions—a balance of two hundred and eighty-eight millions against us. 'Well, in the year 1868 Mr. Guthrie, Se cretary of the Treasury, reported the amount of American bonds and stooks hold by foreign ers at two hundred and twenty-two millions. That we have added sixty-Blx millions to this account since the 30th of June, 1853, admits of no reasonable doubt; and, as the official tables Bhow that no part of this amount came to us in tho shape of specie, it must hare come in merchandise, and, as a subsisting ba lance of debt, must represent at least as groat a “ balance of trade” to all intents and pur poses. We, nevertheless, say again, that we do not rely upon the national account current of im ports and exports for our data, for whioh there are-many sufficient reasons, among which are, that there are many inflnonces at work to vitiate tho register, under ad valorem tariffs; especially the temptation to undervalue im ports ia too great to ho resisted, and the temp tation to ovorvaluo exports, which pay no duty, is also a strong one. We reject these tables, therefore, for the reason that they are not re liable, and especially because we have reason to suspect them of underrating the difference against us in our exchanges with Europe. In our next article wo will give our own es timate of our international account, with re ference to' its effeots upon onr industry and prosperity, and npon onr currency, as the ther mometer of our welfare. Senator Douglas in Tennessee. We hare read the speech of Senator Dodo las at Memphis, Tennessee, on the 29th of November, as reported in two of the newspa pers of that city, the Appeal and the Ava lanche, and lay before our readers this morn ing such portions of it as may be interesting to those who are carious to know what tho distinguished Senator may say before a South ern audience, omitting only thoso passages which simply reiterate such generalities as have no bearing upon the questions in issue. When we remember that Senator Pooulas spoke to a. Southern audience, and that he was approaching a region Dom which he has been most bitterly denounced, we do not go too far in saying that he has been as bold and as {rank iri Tennessee as in Illinois, and that he has been quite as clear and resolute in tho as sertion of the principles by which he has been guided in the past, and by which he intends to.be guided in tbo future, as his best friends could have desired. Tho reports in all tho Memphis papers in torm us that Senator Douglas was received with extraordinary enthnsiasm, and that his speech, even those portions of It which might be supposed to awaken the sensibilities of the South, gave tho utmost satisfaction. Ho seems to have kept steadily in view the record of his life on the great principle of Eopular Sovereignty, and, white.iooking forward, has not failed-to look back upon the early stand he took upon this question, in Congress and be fore the country. ' Wo do not doubt thatwheh he shall bo by the people of Louisiana he will he equally ready and flank to speak- oat his opinions. The organs of extreme Southern opinion continne their war upon -Senator Douglas as well as Upon his platform; but the reception of the man and the acceptance of his dootrine by the people of tho South, assure onr belief that the extremists and fanatics of the Sonth, like those of the North, are not the power of tho country. Hnn. J, c. ’H/cirn-Li— : Two'weeks ago a telegram, dated at St. Louis, calculated in its character to place the above gentleman in an rinpleasant position, was widely published in the Atlantic States. It now appears to have been based npon anonymous communications, as The Pbkss predicted in anticipation of the arrival of the mails. Mr. McKiUbih’s friends at San Fran oisco, wha Were cognizant of all the circum stances, have, over their own signatures, given the story its proper quietus. We sub join their card, published in the San Francisco Herald of October 22, as a complete vindica tion of Mr. McKiSbin : “ TWo anonymous communications have reoently appeared in the oolnmns of the National, re specting a misunderstanding whloh has arisen be tween Joseph 0. MoKibbin and Geo. Pea Johns ton. It is obviously improper that an affair of the kind should ba obtruded on the publlo attention, but as the publications in question are marked by undue personality, with an evident political in tent, and os they oontaln several flagrant errors, whioh aro calculated to prejudioe the reputation of an absent party, we oonsider it to be oUr duty to offer a brief and tebipetathroply. . “It ia trtte that Air. McKibbin and the under signed, on the day named in the National, pro ceeded to the county of Marin, with the view of bolding oommunioatton with Mr. Johnston; but Mr. MoKibbin (we give his own language) ‘had no idea of prejudicing Hr. Johnston in his present position, and only sought, in the course he pnr sned, to relieve himself of misrepresentation. Being compelled to leave the State on the steamer of the 20th inst., he was Unwilling that Mr. Jehn sten’s action should remain altogether unnoticed.’ “But it is not true that the ‘friends of Mr. MoKibbin expressed a great anxiety to obtain the identioal pair of pistols used in the unfortunate affair between Johnston and Pergvton. ’ It is not true that Mr. MoKibbin and his friends knew that Mr. Johnston was in custody when they left this city And it is not true that any person was re quested to oarry ‘a peremptory challenge’ to Mr. Johnston. Knowing that * the publlo always remember tire charge, and soldom the reply,’ we most, nevertheless, say that only one letter was addressed to Mr. Johnaton, and that was simply a communication of inquiry, oonohed in the most nnexoeptionablo languago. In it nothing was said about a challenge, and Mr. Johnston’s friond was so informed ana assured. “ Surprise is expressed in the National that so so long a time should hare elapsed bofore Mr. MoKibbin held oommonloatlon with Mr. Johnston. In roply, we do not consider It necersary to say more than that Mr. MoKibbln’s pledged political engagements, and Mr- Johnston’s own absonoe, rendered suoh oommunioatton, prior to the day in question, entirely impracticable. “William A. Addison, “ Charles Kincaid, “ Ban Francisco, Oot. 21,1868.” Philadelphia Tradk Circular —The second number of this monthly newspaper of trade and eommeroe has appeared! We find four or fire leading articles from The Trees, oopled into its oolumns, with only the following impudently eool acknowledgment: “In making up this paper, the pnblishers have freely availed themselves of the columns of some of our best eondnotod journals, such as the North American, Press, Ledger, It is enough to say that John G. Jones and Gov. Bigler are their patterns of politioal honesty and publlo virtue. It is startling to contemplate the deep-rooted aversion in Pennsylvania to the present Adminis tration, hut the oontempt into whioh it !p» fallen here is unspeakable. .Southern men deride it— they for whom Mr. Buohanan bos spurned old as sociations and bartered everything—they look npon it muoh as a Saxon baron would regard his buffoon—a thing to amuse but not to lead them. I thought, as doubtless did many others, that these would at least be faithful to him) but for the nonce I had forgotten how uncompromisingly and oertalnly Southern men adhere to and guard.their peculiar interests. They have started a . new paper here—the Southern Citizen —whioh has only a weak parallel In fanatioism, bravado, im practicability, high-sounding nothings, -and an altogether Chinese gong operation, whioh may frlgh ten very feeble Intellects, in the Bostiri-Liis rdtor. This new. dodge will ocoomplish little of good for them, while it may be a firebrand' for fieroe and consuming agitation. ' * But the day of extremists I hope 1b passeffr Their ory of wolf has frightened, but their trick has been discovered, and it can frighten no longer-. It is stated that Mr. Buohanan will recommend speoifio duties. The statement is from the best authority. It would be a matter of heartfelt! to* joioing for the industrial interests of the North If something praotioal were done for them, and valua ble time were not thrown away upon abstractions, like those of Boyce, of Sonth Carolina, that there shall be free trade and direct taxation. Several of the members have Intimated to me that, what ever is reoommonded from the Exeoutlve or the Seorotary of the Treasury, they will insist on tho matter being takeh np and Considered and/acted on at an early day. Mr. Buohanan, In his message, will take, high ground upon the Monroe dootrine. Protectorate over Mexico may not be direotly alluded to; but it is stated that he is u dined toward that'move-; ment.

TauaAxc. ■Washington, December 5, [Correspondence of The Press.] Th'er'e wilt be no delay in getting to work to morrow. The session will last but three months, and the Speaker for the Thirty-fifth Goiigress was chosen last year, and Is now on tho ground, dom forlably quartered at the comer of Eighth add E streets. The President’s mets&ge will be cerian nioated to-morrow, unless some now decision jsar; rived at diiring to-day. it will be Very longhand very interesting. The revenne part of it wifi be unsatisfactory, but this was to have been oxpefeted. When an Adniinistratloh rhns hopblosSly and rotk lesily into debt, mainly to bolster up its own fol. lies, it is like an individdal wbo tries te hide bis immoralities and wrong-doings by giving expen sive entertainments. The world sees the objiot and oondemns it; and in tho oase of the Admi nistration, in this country at the least, the aoooent must be rendered. ‘ * '• One of tho.subjeots that will excite most interest daring the short session is the Oregon and Woih ington war debt, amounting perhaps to six pH', lions of dollars. I am ondeavortog to obtiia’ some foots In referonee to this oktraof dinar jrolslln whloh will be of great interest. It Is belitlvedtiiat Capt. Cram, of the tJnited States engineers, nWde a report more than a year ago, in which the injus tice of the eiaim was fully set forth. iiy some aa. noeavre the pnblioation of this papbr has boon ire vented; but a new effort will be made on the ,)no hand to obtaih the money, Kfid on the othel to givo the oonntry the foots. j The well-known Or. Hitohoook, of San Pnn oisco, who, you will reoolieot, was a leading mem ber of the Know-Nothing Convention whioqas sembled in Philadelphia in 1656, and piaoei in nomination Fillmore and Donelson, has been Ap pointed to an important offioe by Mr. Buchanan in California. This seleotionpf Hitohoook overlho heads of deserving men in the Golden State slows how anxious the Administration is to strongmen Itself with any organisation that is willing to on dorse its Kansas policy. An amusing story is told of a mistake of Bast master General Brown's, in regard to the appoint ment of a postmaster at Jerseyville, Illinois. Hat exoollent Philadelphia-horn Democrat, Charlfl S. Jaokson, so well known and beloved in your Uty, was removed from the poßt-offieo at Jerseynlie, and another person appointed in his plsoe; bit in the hurry to designate tho sneeessor a ridiompns mistake was made. Tho person ii tended t* bo' appointed was Jaoob E. Whitnaok, instead of wnoh Mr. Brown forwarded the name of Jacob 17. 'Whitehead. Mr. Jaokson, tho inoumbent ofthe offioe, knowing of no suoh person, informedihe Postmaster General that probably a mistake lad ooourred. In about two weeks tho mistake Iras oorreotod, the simon-pure namo was sent on, jnd a man was pat in Jaokson’s position who rape seated about a dozen Danite votes out of 1,60| in the county. / There will be a quorum in the Senate, |Tr. Breckinridge haring arrived, and both our Sen iors from Pennsylvania. Senator Bigler wlll'co doubt, as soon as the Senate meets, send forwarj to the Vice President, to be road by the Seoretijy, the following extract: j “ Make my special regards to Governor Walter, and say to him that be has the popular oslnr WITH mu THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY EXCEPT OJLY the extreme South. Should bis programme ihc ceed, ho will have the most enviable proc- ICENCB OF AMY HAN IN TUB NATION. The Adpi nistration is a little weak at the knees, qid winces under the Southern but t'usy must stand up to the work." • The speeoh of Mr. Douglas at Memphis, old and outspoken as it was, has made a great impas sion here. It is regarded as one of the bolt and braveßt of bis movements. One of the pa oipants in this ovation tells me thatDpuglas Is unquestionable ohoioe of the Democrats and of hj of Amerloans in Tennessee, and that suoh mei ex-Senator Jones, Hon. W. H. Polk, Hon. J. Kt Walker, Ac., are already in the field canvass his cause. The bitter atlooks of the Nashvl Union) (the Postmaster General’s organ,) u] Douglas, are not responded to bv the people. The Hew England Republicans are maklnls movement for the Presidency, anticipating the e* action of tho people against Congressional lnt\v vention, and ready to follow out the view of Representatives in favor of the Orlttenden-Mofr gomery amendment. Many of tbeir mostastu> leaders propose taking (to use Jefferson Davie language In reference to Mr. Buohanan) a atop i advanoe, and therefore do not be surprised if eitlild Hon. John J. Crittenden* of Kentuoky, or Hop John Bell, of Tennessee, shall beoome the favorft of thoHepubllbans of How England.
