A sPEoK OF WAR.

We are receiving at intervals, docu-
ments from the Office of the New York
Epening Post, on the subject of the
American Free Trade League. The OBJ
iect of this organization is to abolish
protective tariffs and establish free trade.
William @. Bryant, the editor of the
Post, is President, and is assisted by
Vice Presidents who, though Of late years
acting with the Radicals, were, in the
DAVIS of Calhoun, advocates Of free trade.
These men represent that large class Of
Northern Democrats who went over TO
the Republicans on the negro question.
But they carried their free trade notions
with them, and now that the old eontro-
yersy is disposed Of, they once more lin
up the cid anti.taritf flag An address
now before us, says that there is fund
raised by the contributions of wealthy
Republicans, to defray the cost of print
ing and mailing to al! parts Of the
country, but especially to people in the
Southern States, pamphlets and speeches
explanatory of the principles of the Re-
publican party" 1t appears that q
norton of these documents are
speeches in favor of protective tariff.
This trash, says the address, " in favor
of a measure which the enormous Re-
publican majority in the last Congress
deliberately, and in spite Of the most
strenuous efforts Of its friends, put under
the table, is now secretly circulated as
Republican sentiment and policy, by the
Republican Document Committee, with
money subscribed by Republicans A
more outrageous swindle has not come
to our attention for long time, This
little speek of war is cheering. While
the League holds on TO the Republican
party, it denouneeS one Of its prominent
measures. 1t is silly to deny that the
Radical party is in favor of protection.
Next to negro Suffrage, it is the most
prominent plank in its platform. The
Democracy Of the North are generally
in favor of free trade. The South is a
unit for it Bryant and his friends will
fail with their League unless they
discard tAe Radicals aud cooperate with
the Democracy. To that they must come,
or ANONYMOUSLY abandon their prIn'
eiples Ills stated that not oae-half the
Radicals Of the State Of New York are
proteetonists. Certainly more than one
halfthe Democracy 10 that State are free
traders What hinders union between
one-half ths Radical free traders and the
great body Of the Democrats ltoeeurs
to US that this cause OF division in the
Radical party may work its ruin. Ii is
composed mainly Of old proiectiODists
aud abolitionists The abolition free
trade democratic element can have no
further occasion for maintaining a union
which is efete, because it can no
longer profess a common principle. Let
the division widen aud deepen, and We
do not care how the controversy ends, Sc

brother of Gen. Pemberton, returned
yesterday from q visit to Washington,
where they were engaged in interviews
with prominent Southern gentlemen,

The result of the visit is unknown. Mrs
Davis is in remarkably good health and
spirits, and in conversation with some
friends lately she spoke very confidently
of the early release Of Mr.. Davis.
