LARGEST CIR6DLATIIIIITHE IITV AND COUNTY
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 14, 1866.
A GROWING PARTY.
11 was only a few weeks since that the free
trade movement was initiated in the city of
New York by an association of influential
and intelligent gentlemen, whose views and
objects were thus set forth :
•• The Leajjne holds that men should have the right
to exercise their industry, to dispose of its fruits in
any market which to them shaU seem best, and with
the proceeds to buy whatever and wherever they
•*It oroteate against the ‘paternal’ interference of
government with private pursuits, being convinced
that the less government is felt and seen the bettor for
aU concerned. . . ,
“ It believes that ‘protection’ to the producer is rob
bery of the consumer, with the added hypocricy of
pretending to look after the latter’s interest.
The terrific onslaught upon this organiza-
tion, now known as the “ American Free
“ Explanatory.”
“ Certain parties, to gratify apolitical grudge, having
■een proper to miarepresent am, we can «ay the editor
oi the National Republican is not the only peraon that
hae paid the city tax of one per cent an groes receipts
under protest. We have the names of several influen
tial buaineea men who have done the seme, and whoee
object in eo doing will be folly developed in good time.
This statement we deemed necessary to clear ourselves
trona the unjust imputation that we are not disposed
to acknowledge the Justice of any claim that had the
approval of the business community. None can say
that we are backward about meeting our obligations,
but with such as are manifestly unjust—no matter by
whom or on whom the imposition is practised, we
shall never hesitate to speak oar disapprobation, and
take such legal redress as the laws of the country af-
| ford."
Mn. Editob: The above extract is from the National
Republican of Monday. Permit me to ask the editor
of that paper the following questions:
Who are the certain parties who have " a political
grudge ” to gratify in misrepresent nq yon ?
As yon are " sot the only person that hae paid the
city tax of one per cent, on grots receipts under pro
test," please state how many more “influential busi
ness men have done the same.”
Did you protest while paying the same tax to the
military, and whloh was, as you know, imposed neces
sarily to defray the governmental expenses of the city ?
Are you not “backward” about meeting your obliga
tions," particularly at this time, as a citizen of Sevan,
uah, (if you claim to be one,) when you murmur at the
aid you are called upon to contribute out of youb easily
earned receipts, in order to assist in carrying on the
government of that city ?
As a citizen of Savannah I claim the right to ask

journals subsidized iu the interests of the “ y ^-Citizens, witimut any desire to grumble
J ouusiu through the columns of a newspaper.

a service, by attracting the attention of the
people to a subject, which, although of the
highest importance, had been overlooked
iluriug the late military conflict. We have
noticed with pleasure that the people and
press of the West are engaged in giving vent
in mass meetings to their indignation and
opposition to the exorbitant tariff upon im
ported goods, by which Northern manufac
turers are so enormously tavored and enriched
at the expense of other sections of the coun
try. Not satisfied with the immense profit they
already derive, they are endeavoring to force
the passage of bills through Congress for an in
crease of their unjust gains. It is some comfort,
however, to koow that the despotic sway of
the Northern protectionists cannot last much
longer. The Western and Northwestern
Slates are increasing with much greater
rapidity than those of the East, and after
another census the Atlantic and New England
States will be out-voted by the former, while
the South, however reduced ia numbers and
representation, will hold the balance of
power This free trade movement in the
great West indicates to every descerning
mind that our politics must soon assume a
new phase; out of the new questions about
to rise into prominence, it will probably oc
cupy the first rank. The currency question
tends, by the growth of business and the
active demand for capital in the South, to
settle itself. Besides, there is no such funda
mental difference of opinion or opposition of
interests in relation to it as can occasion a
party struggle. All admit that the volume
of the currency must be reduced and that we
must return as rapidly as consists with safety,
to the specie basis. The only qnestions
about it are mere questions of time and
means; the end is universally acknowledged
to be desirable. But free trade is
question of quite another complexion.
There is in this the elements of
vigorous and protracted party struggle.
The State of the country is such as to create
in respect to it a tremendous conflict of in
terests, as well as clash of opinions. One
side already claims that the public debt has
settled our policy on this subject. On the
free trade side are sound principles cer
tain to gain ground in proportion as they are
discussed. It is certain that the struggle on
this question must he a vigorious, and may
be, a long one.
The formation of this “Free Trade League,”
which, if successful, will have its affiliated
societies all over the country, is a significant
sign of the times. It proves that the ten
dencies of the public mind run parallel to the
policy of the Democratic party. There can
be no doubt that the free-trade doctrines
are destined to triumph. The party that
champions them is the party of the future.
This the radical faction clearly foresee, and
we have in it the true secret of their opposi
tion to the admission of Southern Representa
tives to their seats in Congress.

EX-PRESIDENT PIERCE.
This gentleman has just broken
long silence upon the affairs of the
country by a brief address before the
New Hampshire State Democratic Con
vention which met on the 7th instant. He
expressed the hope that the country is now
emerging from the thick darkness which at
one time brooded over the country. That
the present time called for the calm, dispas
sionate and patriotic exertions of all good
men in the work of restoration. Not merely
iu form, but a restoration of community in
terests, fraternal feeling and equality of rights
among all the States. He expressed himself |
pleased with the President’s course, and
thinks his steps looking to restoration have
been guided by wisdom, patriotism and
statesmanship. Under any circumstances he
thought it would be abject to despair of the
country.
GENERAL ACCIDENT POLICIES.
The best policy for every man, whether lie travels
much or little, is a General Accident Policy, whicli
insures against every possible form of casually, at
all times, and times and places.
An annual premium of $10 or $12 (according to oc
cnpatlon), will secure a General Accident Policy for
$2,000, in case of fatal accident, or $10 per week
during disability caused by accident (not exceed
ing twenty-six weeks for any one accident.)
An anuual premium for $2 . or $30 will, In like
manner, secure a policy for $5,000, or $25 per week
compensation.
Any other sum, from $500 to $10,000, at proportion
ate rates. Where policies are Issued against loss of
life only, or for compensation only, the rates are
much lower. A liberal discount on three and five
year policies.
