They both roaJ- lze. It la said, that an open, persis tent war would be quite ns dflsastrous one as to the other Ih tho end, nnd tile public would also be a sufferer from the ddmoralteafllon of Southern business tthsut would ensue. On the other hand, Uf they shouM make a pbol < or cmmblnaJtilon cm Vhro\iFt.\ Floridx freight fromi 'tthe North, tlie rates would have to be remarkably low, lower than iDt present, or the O!ydo line would.
