The theory of absolute and universal Free
Trade as taught by Adam Smith for account of the
British manufacturers, would, if it could be applied
now to the nations oil the world, Immediately cs
tablish International slavery of all the peoples
of the world to Great Britain more enduring and
more destructive than the universal dominion at
tempted by the Roman Empire. For in the pres
eEt inequality of the development of the parties to
this free exchange OF products, England which
has the most money, the most machinery, the
cheapest labor, the most skilled industry, the
cheapest iron and steel, the most abundant coal
the most ships, and the most sailors. would over
whelm the manufacturers Of every other people
and afict them with the multiform curses OF a re-
striction to the growth and expectation of cheap
food.-San Francisco Flag.
This may all be true, but after all ii is only a
choice Of masters. Under present policy Of
protection the manufacturers, by their exhorb tan
prices. which they are enabled to maintain by
combining together, are making the people tribu

they are doing more to establish free trade thar

At the recent term Of the Sullivan Circuit Court
a farmer vas indicted for reicsing to give in his
dogs for taxation, and moved 70 quash the indict-
nent, on the ground that the law requiring then,

was that die constitution required taxes to be ad

that the law was defective in its tite which is to
discourage the keeping OF worthless and sheep

sheep killing or not. Judge Eckels decided THAI

Dismissal Of Treasury Agents.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The dismissal
of Treasury agents in the Southern States is
said. to include many who stand charged
generally with compatibility in their cotton
transactions, and the action Of the Govern
ment is looked upon as equivalent to an a.
abandonment of trial, or even further inquiry
into their respective cases. The truth is, I
am told, the malfeasance extended in nu-
merous instances from the head down to the
meanest subordinate; but so implicated was
one with the other, and SO complicated were
the transactions all through, that the whole
set would have had to have been punished
together, in order to give justice her due.
1t is possible there may be exceptions to tho
sweeping dismissals, scot free; but the suits,
if any, will be few, and perhaps end only in
an extra bill Of costs to the Government

Our neighbor of the Sentinel is con-
tinually boasting of his loyalty. He
pronounces us slanderers and ibellers
because we will not concede that he and
all of his faction are thoroughly loyal,
and he challenges us to call names and
offer proofs. We have done this frequ-
emily heretofore, but we will do it again.
We have proved, to the satisfac-
ton of every intelligent, fair-minded
reader, that our neighbor is opposed to
the Presidents plan of restoration, and
that he is doing all he can to defeat it
in one gifts most vital particulars. We
also proved from the record, that our
neighbor and his faction are actuated
solely by the lust for office; that they
hunt for offices, plot for offices, agitate
for offices, as business paramount with
them to the work of restoration; that
the President has rebuked them for this,
but that, to cloak their designs and to
enable them still further to deceive and
mislead the people. they profess to be
his best friends, and will assail him only
when they find it no longer possible to
use his popularity to advance their own
selfish purposes. And we say to-day,

and his Associate are themselves stand
ing monuments Of disloyal feeling, and
we will prove it as follows:
1st. Before our neighbor commenced
the work of disorganizing the Union
party in October last, and when the
President telegraphed that the rebel
debt must be positively ignored, as a
condition indispensable to the restora-
ton of the State, our neighbor mani
tested bitter feeling, and declared that
the Convention, while engaged in this
Indispensable and patriotic work, pre-
sented a " humiliati,sg" spectacle. How
much loyalty was there in that, neigh
Dor? Do you call that sustaining the
President? You wanted to pay the ex-
pense of bounding down conscripts, and
putting the thumbs of poor women
under the fence, and penning old men
and women and children, did you9-for
this was part of the debt. The Presi.

TRI.WEEKLY STANDARD INSTEAD OF DAILY

We entertained the hope, six months
ago, that the mails would be by this
time so thoroughly established in this
State as to enable us to continue with
out loss the publication of the Daily
Standard. Of the one thousand or
twelve hundred post-offices in this State
previous to the rebellion, only about
two hundred have been re-opened; and
the prospect nowis, with the test oath
in the way, that twelve months more
will elapse before the mail facilities of
the State will be equal to what they
were in 1860. In addition to this, money
is very scarce, and the great body Of
our people are poor 1t cannot be ex-
pected that money will be abundant
until the proceeds of the next cotton
crop come in. We have no large cities
and towns to sustain daily papers, even
if our people had the means to subscribe
for them. Our daily circulation is, per-
haps, as large as that of any paper in
the State; but for the reasons above set
forth, we have determined for the pres
ent to discontinue the Daily Standard,
and publish instead Tri Weekly.
The Tri-Weekly will be issued at the
low price of Sc per annum. 1t will be
sent to the subscribers to the Daily, ac-
cording to fair scale, until they are
furnished with the full value Of the
amounts they have paid. The Weekly
paper will be continued as heretofore,
and no pains will be spared to render
the Tri Weekly and Weekly interesting
and valuable. The Tri-Weekly will be
issued Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Satur
days. The first number appeared yes
terday (Tuesday) morning.
We appeal to our friends in this and
other States to aid us in extending the
circulation of the Standard. We would
say 10 our II1euQS LII QUIET CldttS, Iutt
it is no easy or profitable business to
publish an unconditional Union paper
in this or any other Southern State. We
feel that we are as true to the Union as
any citizen of any Northern or Wes-
tern State. We know that it is more
difficult to be true Unionist here than
it is in States that have not engaged in
the rebellion.
We shall continue to inculcate sound
Union principles, and to exert ourselves,
in our humble way, to restore the Union
as the great and only hope of this and
future generations. Others may hest
tate and falter, and those whose devo-
ton to the Union is not real may profess
and promise many things as loyal men
but we can safely and confidently as
sure our friends that they will alaoays
find the Standard sound, unfinching,
unconditional Union journal.
