To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fourth advantage in a reunion would be the ABSENCE OF THE EVILS ATTENDANT UPON A GEOGEAPHICAL LINE OF DIVISION. Thcse evils are : 1st, smuggling ; 2d, border warfare. The facts of history are too well known to us all to require any remarks upon this topic. The expense necessary to suppress smuggling, when the line of division is inland — in fact, the utter impossibility of doing so — ^iDCsides the immoral influences of the prac- tice, render it one of the greatest of national evils. So with... border warfare. The whole frontier of the two nations would have to be constantly guarded by a numerous army, maintained at an enormous expense. We all have read the history of Scottish border war- fare, and from it we can form a faint idea of the pre- carious tenure of life and property on the frontiers, if this Union is severed. With the Scots, whom a modern English writer of eminence has called " a nation of thieves, " the object of crossing the line was simply theft — a drove of cattle secured, a little malicious in- jury done to sj^ice the affair, and they returned to their homes.
