1t 10 now certain that the English and
Preach aeee in the Gulf Of Mexico are there
to cooperate with the Aristoerstic and
Church parties in the warfare the latter are
waging with the. Liberals or Democracy Of
Mexico. The Lbsra! party embraces the
large majority Of the people Of the country,
and is iavorabIydisposed to the United States.
II not crushed by foreign Intervention, it
will, undoubtedly, be victorious over the
sristocracy and hierarchy. II is understood,
however, that when General MIRAxoS, the
leader Of the Church party approaches
Vera Cruz, which is in the hands Of the Lib
erals, and invests it on the land, the Eng
lish and French squadrons will open FIRE On
it from the sea, and thus effect the reduction
Of the place. The aristocratic. party, thus
restored to power, will be, in its government,
= mere creation or puppet Of the European
monarchies. It's policy will be hostile to
American interests. While England and
France are thus actively intervening in Mex.
lean affairs, and are bringing that country
under their influence, the United Stntes looks
passively on and sees its friends cut down
by foreign despots. The responsibility Of
this inaction must not rest upon the Presi-
dent, but upon Congress, which body has
refused to do anything in the premises.

The Ad yaiorem systs m OF Duties.

The ad uaiornn system is a cheating one
throughout. The foreign merchant sends
out false invoice, and the importer here
swears it to be true. The custom-hUuss
officer gets part Of the money due TO the
treasury, and certfes it to be the whole,
The Secretary Of the Treasury bases his es-
Inmates on records, Of which every page is
deceptive, and reports volumes OF figures,
every one Of which is false.
Under this system the honest man suffers
but the knave fills his pockets. The mer-
chant who conscientiously states the value
Of bis goods, is heavily fined for telling the
truth, but the scamp who swears falsely re-
oeives cash reward Tor perjury. No won
der the government is defrsuded, under q
system that begins with fraud and ends
with fraud among all the parties concerned
Albany Evening Journal.
Every one Of the above allegations is un.
true. The nd paiorem is the fairest system
Of taxation ever devised. The duties are
not assessed upon the value as sworn to by
the importers, las ignorant people often as
sert,) but upon the value as certified by
expert government appraisers from whose
certificate there is no appeal except in an
arbitration, every member Of which is chosen
by the government. for this very purpose.
The system is precisely the same as that
which governs the taxation Of real estate in
all well regulated communities, where the
value may be represented by the owner, but
is fired by sworn assessors, from whom an
appeal only lies TO government officials. A
specific duty on imports is as unnecessary
as unjust in principle as would be an assess
ment Of q uniform rate per square foot on
real estate. The plea that the true value
cannot be well ascertained, would be as
plausible III oGc case as the other since if
the assessment is not correct, the fault is
with the government which collects the tax
1t is time that writers who pretend to in
struct the public should be better informed
of the facts The importer, whether he
swears much or little, can no more fix the
value Of his goods on which the duty is to
be levied, than the owner OF real estate can
fix the value Of bis house on which the tax
is to be levied This is established by the
authority that collects the revenue, and if it
is underestimate, the government is alone
