TRAITORS would fix Rebellion's odious Name
On those who thwart their Schemes, whose
only Aim
Is to preserve their Country, who oppose
In Honor leagu'd, none but their Country's Foes,
Who only seek their own, and found their Cause
In due Regard to violated Laws.
Should there be found in some not distant Year
(Oh how I wish to be no Prophet here !)
Among our-Britilh Lords should there be found,
Some great in Power, in Principles unibund,
Who look on Freedom with an evil Eye,
In whom the Springs of Loyalty are dry,
Who wish to soar on wild Ambition's Wings,
Who hate the Commons, and who love not Kings,
Who would divide the People and the Throne,
To set up feprate Interests of their own,
Who hate whatever aids their wholesome Growth,
And only join with to destroy them both,
Oh God above, on whom all States depend,l
Our Country from its treacherous Foes defend, <
And let them feel the Mifchief they intend. ,

THE unexpected delay that happened in drawing

retarded the Sale of Tickets, and rendered it im
possible to draw this Lottery so soon as was expected;

drawn, and a considerable part of these Tickets are
already fold, the Managers think that they have a
reasonable Propped of being able to draw by the firft
Day of September next, if not sooner, and recom
mend it to all who are disposed to try their Luck in
a Lottery so favourable for the Adventurers,to make
speedy application for Tickets, least they should be

Printing-Office, Hartford, June 7, 1774.
*tf*HE elegant Appearance which the C0N
%1% NECTICUT COURANT is now able to
X*X make, the Printer hopes-will, in some Mea
sure atone for the despicable Figure it has made in
Times past. The Garb it has worn heretofore, like
Old Tenor, has been gradually depreciating, till it
has funk into a State of Contempt. It was there
fore highly necessary to attempt a Restoration of it's
Credit, by embellishing it with a new and elegant
Dress. The Printer indeed, defign'd it should have
shed it's Old Coat before the Close of the Spring,
and appear'd in it's Bloom with the vegetable Crea
tion. He trusts, however, it will not be unwel
come to his kind and generous Customers, at the
Commencement of the present Season ; and that
nothing on their Part, will be wanting, to keep it
in Countenance, and Support it's Sprightliness and
Splendor.
The Expence of raising of it to it's present Fi
gure, has deeply plunged the Printer in Debt, and
laid him under the most pressing Necessity for a large
Sum of Money to fulfil his Obligations to the Gen
tlemen who have lent him their friendly Assistance
in purchasing a Supply of elegant TiPES. His
Customers, therefore, especially those who are con
feious of being long in Arrears for this Paper, or
other Services, will not be offended, if he should
earnestly request, and even infft on an immediate
Settlement of their Accounts. If they will not Step
forth for his Help, at this Juncture, it will clog and
embarrass his Business beyond Measure, and make
it utterly impossible for him to prosecute it with
Honor to himfelf, or, to the Satisfaction of the
Public. Those who are indebted for the last Year's
Service, will also essentially oblige him, by afford
ing him a little Help, at this pressing Season.
N- B. All Parts of the Printing Bufaefs will now
be performed in th' neatest Manner, on ax elegant Tipe,
with Dispatch and Fidelity; andon the mtf reasonable
Terms, by the Subferiber, who begs the indulgent Eye of
the Public on the Connecticut Courant, which he as
sures them Jhall continue to be Open to all Parties,
but not under the leaf Influence or Controul of anY.
And as his principal Attention, in future, will be deuoted
to the Bufnefs of the Press, he hopes it will merit the
Esteem and good Opinion of his Cuflomers, and the Public,
and encourage them to a Continuance of Favours, of which
he has bad fueb plentiful Experience in Times pas, and
which will always be gratefully acknowledged, by the
Public's Most Qbedient,
Very Humble Servant,
Ebenezer Watson.
