IL must be supposed that unlrss either the
the commerce of the Confederate States is
winked at, or the Independence of those

be by discontlnuing the ports there. and

this be done? The signs do not point that
way.
One thing now is very apparent. If

the Confederate Stats stand side by side,
there will be but few duties to collect in

mar. will apply 10 all the ports of deliv
