OF SECksSAVNs
The Free States are about to witness revi-
val of business, and Of their industrial interests
generally, through the operation OF Secession.
II will undoubtedly soon become necessary to
blockade the seapOrts of the secedDg States, aod
to repeal the laws making them ports OF foreign
entry. As soen as this is done, the whole trade
Of those States will BE- thrown back upon the
Northern and North western railroads. And the
business now transacted at New Orleans, Mobile,
Cbarleston Savannah, and the ports of every
other seeding State will be transferred to the
Free.State ports, and to Baltimore, if the fools
do lot succeed in getting majority in Maryland
for Secession. If Maryland keeps quiet, Balti-

amount to nothing because there will be no OBJ

through Free State ports. All the operations OF
trade will be carried on as now, only through
new channels. The embargo will be unique, and
its operaticn most curious and most instructive.

We could exult over the inevitable industrial

feeling Of pain and modification we must exPe

from the folly Of their political leaders. But the
result must come. The Free States will, with
