F" oeVVu'uBbt states mushbe carefully watched, The
destination 81 their cargoes must 10 ascerlnined
the eye oftbc Custom House agent must be upon
them, and The mement they arrive where tho law
OF tie land Is ros pected, TIE hand ofthe Jaw must
be laid upon them.
How difficult oil this is, will appear the moment
any attempt shall, be made TO stop the entrance Of
these goods along the vast northern frontier Of The
cotton states. There is no trade carried on with
greater ingenuity and oudacity than that Of The
smuggIer, none that calls into action 20 many re-
sources Of craft, and so disciplinos men into pres,
ence o! mind. Within a few months after the
new southern tariff goes into e~Fect-lvhich Is the
first Of May-the profession Of contrabandist on
the frontier Of the seeding states win have be-
come as regular an occupation, ard all tie shifts
wiA'bo as well understood as at present on the
boundary which divides Franco from Spain. We
shall be obliged to watch night and day every road
and river which forms a communicalion bet wi
the states lying north and south of this long from
tier, ircqucutly to make seizures and arrests at a
venture, and to encounter the cunning Of the IL
licit trader by a ~sleepless and costly vigilance.
But 10 this instance the contrabandist will have
an advantage which he has in no other country.
If the goods he introduced cannot be shown, either
by liz lee proof or inevitable presumption, to have
been introduced into the country without payment
of duties TO our government, their owners have a
right to transport them to any place within the
limits Of the United States without obstruction.
Trade between state and state is free-there arc
no Custom Houses barriers on the southern boun-
dairy of North Carolina, Tennessee or Arkansas,
and no Custom House officer has q right, us cur laws

y it seems to us, therefore, that if importation
u shall be suffered to lie made freely at the southerl
n ports Under the low tariff Of the new Confederacy
the foreign trade of the Union is at their mercy
1t will be an Infinitely easier and more. compeu
