MISCELLANEOUS.
To THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States.
SIR—Permit the General Assembly of the State of Vermont to avail themselves of the opportunity presented by their annual meeting, to express to you the satisfaction they derive from the increasing prosperity of our common country.
Remote as we are placed from the seat of Government, we have observed with anxious and continual solicitude, the measures adopted by the public functionaries, to secure and promote the interests of the union. We have seen the diminution of taxes, the extension of territory, the increase of population, the due regulation of the judicial and military systems, the security of peace abroad and at home, with sentiments of sincere approbation. We learn that, in these sentiments, our sister states have almost unanimously coincided; and that, despite the struggles of faction, and the whispers of slander, the public opinion has ripened from the first grades of favorable expectation, into bold and general applause. The eminent degree in which you have contributed, by the patriotic discharge of your official duties, to call forth these sentiments, has not escaped us. Adulation is the language of slaves; but a just, a free, and independent people, who have seen and escaped the attempted subversion of their liberties, will never hesitate to anticipate the voice of history and posterity, when gratitude demands it. We will not, Sir, conceal our regret, arising from rumors which have reached us, calculated to excite the belief that it is your wish to withdraw from the public service, at the close of the period for which you was last elected chief magistrate of the union. We venture to hope that the insinuation is unauthorized, and to express a wish that, in the full possession of faculty and talent, you will not refuse the citizens the benefits arising from long political experience and deprive them of the full opportunity of exercising their choice and judgment in selecting their President from the whole number of the people.
In pursuing and completing the measures so happily begun; in encouraging the industry, and protecting the rights of the citizen; in promoting the happiness of the people, and supporting the dignity of the government, we, with confidence, assure you of our most cordial support. And relying on that Divine Being who holds in his hand the destiny of empires, we trust we shall be so directed as to long exist a peaceful, prosperous and happy nation. AARON LELAND, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Decius.—The federal editors have for some time past been very lavish in praise of Mr. Randolph: they had almost persuaded themselves and their dupes to believe, that he had turned federalist; but it seems his recent publication has very much disgusted them and now forsooth, this same gentleman is every thing but an honest man in their estimation! Notwithstanding we did not approve of the conduct of Mr. Randolph the last session of Congress, yet we knew him to be an independent man, and as much opposed to what is called federalism, as the arch deceiver of mankind is to Christianity. He has denounced the federal papers, and says "they are not believed, therefore no good can be expected from the remonstrances in them." We think this fact has been for a long time fully demonstrated, but the statement given in the Repository , of the number of federal papers in the United States, proves it beyond the possibility of a doubt: "there are ten federal to two republican to two republican papers throughout the Union." If this is the fact, and we believe it comes near the truth, how happens it that federalism is so astonishingly in the background? It can be accounted for on no other reasonable ground than this, that the federal papers are so replete with detraction, slander and lying , as not to be believed even when they state real matters of fact. This must be the conclusion, when we take into view the incalculable advantage they derive, not only from the vast number of newspapers which they circulate, but from the men of influence who are attached to this party. Nothing but truth itself can triumph over such a formidable opposition.
Boston Chron. If the appointment mentioned in the following paragraph be made, and we have no reason to doubt it, the choice is a very honorable one to the President.—He has selected to fill an important place in the Supreme Court, perhaps the best professional talents in our state.—N. T. pap.
"We understand that the Hon. Brockholst Livingston is appointed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the place of the Hon. William Patterson, deceased."
FOREIGN NEWS.
Translated for the New York Mercantile Advertiser, from Dutch papers to the 9th October.
PARIS, OCT. 1.—His majesty the emperor, arrived at Verdun, on the 26th September, and reached Metz, on the 21st, accompanied by prince Borghese, Manhal, Killerman, Duroc, Angereau, Moncey, Beffieres, and a number of others, with ten thousand men.
Hague, Oct. 5.—Letters from Nimeguen, state that several regiments of the French and Dutch troops have passed through that city, and that the army in the neighborhood, will consist of 100,000 men, in two divisions, one of them to be commanded by general Michaud, whose head quarters are at Diersford; the other consisting of the king's guard, horse artillery, etc. by general Dumonceau.
This morning early, the king left this place, for the army. (He arrived on the same day at Driebergen, reviewed several regiments and proceeded the next morning to Wingezel.)
Amsterdam, Oct. 9.—French papers mention that 8,000 men are immediately expected at Coblenz, where they are immediately to assume a military position round that city. The first detachment of the army of general Ouderiot, have arrived at Strasburg by way of the Rhine. There are continual embarkations of troops on the Rhine, which are constantly arriving from France, to join the grand army, whilst other corps go by water to the same destination.
Posen, (Poland,) Sept. 23.—Prussian troops are continually passing through this place for Germany.
Berlin, Sept. 27.—Laforet the French ambassador here, has not yet received his passports, though he has solicited them, and though he has discharged most of his servants as a measure preparatory to quitting this city. It is however, still hoped, that a rupture will be prevented.
Frankfort, Sept. 28.—The Prussian army now in motion, is posted in several divisions from east Friesland to the borders of Bohemia, and is said to consist of 250,000 men exclusive of a powerful militia. Gen. Blucher commands the right wing, which can be immediately supported by Gen. Ruchel. The duke of Brunswick commands the centre, and prince Hohenlohe, the left wing. Besides these officers there are the prince of Hesse, marshal Mollendorf, 7 generals and 25 lieutenants of infantry, 5 generals and 11 lieutenants generals of cavalry, 100 major generals, 183 colonels, 62 lieutenants colonels, 666 majors. The annual expenses of this army will be from 22 to 24 millions,—which is nearly two thirds of the whole income of the Prussian government. The king's life guard commenced their march from Potsdam, Aug. 21st. Some old generals have retired on a pension.
The Prince of Hohenlohe, had demanded from the court of Dresden, permission to march the Prussian army through that country, which is to be replaced by an army of Russians.
Report says that gen. Bucher has marched from Waldeck into Hesse. The arrival of Angereau is waited for with impatience. He is to remove his head quarters from Grefsen to Wetzlaer. After to-morrow 12,000 men are expected at Mentz, and were also to march to Wetzlaer. The park of heavy artillery of Ulm, will be stationed in our environs and those of Darmstadt.
Lippe, Sept. 28.—The Prussian corps of reserve under prince Eugene of Wirtemberg, formerly posted at Kustrin, defiles along de Sprea towards the Saxon frontier, to be nearer the principal Prussian army.
From a late London paper. Interesting particulars of the loss of the King George Packet, on Salisbury Bank, near Park Gate.
The King George Packet, Capt. Wheeler, bound from Park Gate to Dublin, sailed from Park Gate exactly at twelve o'clock on Sunday last, with a flag at her top mast head, full tide, weather hazy, and drizzling rain, with the wind nearly direct south. At half past one o'clock she struck on the Salisbury Sand Bank, and remained nearly four hours dry, with part of her crew on the sands, waiting for the next tide. No apprehensions were then entertained of her having received any injury. On the return of the tide, the wind veered to the west, and she received the wind and side right on her side, rolling against her anchor. As the tide came in, she filled rapidly with water; the night was dark, with rain. Her passengers mostly Irish harvest men, above one hundred in number, who were going home with pittances of their labour to their families, were under hatchets. The pumps were soon choked, and the water came to fast on the Irishmen in the hold, that they drew their large barvest pocket knives, and with a desperation that a dread of death alone inspires, flew one another to make their way upon deck. The wind and waves beating hard upon her side, her cable broke, and she was drifted round with her head towards the tide, and lay upon her side. They were three miles from any vessel, and could not or at least did not, give any signal that was heard. The boat was launched, and ten persons,
among which was the captain and an Irish gentleman got into it. It was nearly full of water, and death on all sides stared them in the face. Her captain seeing some of his best sailors still with the vessel, and faintly hoping she might remain the tide, which had an hour and half to flow, went again on board; the Irish gentleman and three others followed him. One of the sailors in the boat, seeing a poor Irish sailor boy cling to the side of the vessel, pulled him by the hair of the head into the boat, cut the rope that fastened it to the vessel, and the tide drove them away. At this time great numbers ran screaming upon the mast; a woman with her child fastened to her back, was at the top-mast head; the mast broke, the vessel being on her side, and they, were all precipitated into the waves! Only five men and the poor Irish sailor boy have escaped; the remainder, one hundred and twenty-five in number, among whom were seven cabin passengers, perished! The boat and her little crew were driven up by the tide to within a quarter of a mile of Park Gate. They heard the cries of the sufferers distinctly for half an hour. The ebb tide washed the vessel down into the deep waters, and she was seen no more till the next tide drove her up. She is now fastened by an anchor to a sand bank, and lies on her side, with her keel towards Park Gate, and her head to the Welch coast; her lower mast and rigging out of water. The King George packet belongs to Mr. Brown, of Liverpool; she was formerly a privater, and carried 16 guns; was afterwards employed as a Harwich packet. None of the bodies of the sufferers have yet been found.
Two fishermen from Chester were lost on the sands the same night, owing to their boats being drifted by the tide, while they were in search of prey.
BY THE MAILS.
JAMAICA. KINGSTON, Oct. 27. We have correct information, that Dessalines, on his march to succour Port-au-Prince, was on the 17th Oct. attacked by a party under Gen. Yayo, defeated and himself killed. This event had created a change in the government, illuminations, &c. and Christophe was named as the successor of Dessalines to the black imperial throne.
CHILICOTHE, OHIO, NOV. 13. Important communication.
By a gentleman of the highest respectability from Kentucky, we are furnished with the following intelligence; The United States district court for the Kentucky district, having commenced their November session, the following is the substance of an affidavit of Joseph Hamilton Davies, Esq. Attorney general for the U. States for the said district, which was made before the said Judge of that court, to wit.
"That the said Davies was in possession of the most satisfactory evidence, that Aaron Burr, Esq. late Vice President of the U. S. had formed an association for making war against Spain, invading Mexico, and forming a distinct empire in the W. Country; that he was raising forces and purchasing up the necessary provisions and stores for that purpose.
"The said Jos. H. Davies, Esq. accordingly moved the court, that the said Aaron Burr, Esq. should be arrested and compelled to find security for his appearance, and that a writ should issue for compelling the attendance of witnesses—and a stop be put to all further proceedings of Aaron Burr!"
KENTUCKY. FRANKFORT, Oct. 8. A grand-jury being impanelled, before whom the District Attorney was to prefer a bill of indictment against Col. Burr; that gentleman accompanied by his counsel (Mr. Clay) came into Court, and addressed the Judge in a concise and impressive manner, stating, that when on the eve of departure from Lexington, he had learned, that his name had been mentioned with reproach in that Court; and that he had hastened to present himself before the Court for investigation. His trial will be on Wednesday.
VIRGINIA. NORFOLK, Nov. 20. Capt. Sherman, from Malaga, informs, that the U. S. sch. Entenprize , was early in September attacked by seven Spanish gun-boats; which being continued often, she bore down, and hoisted her colors, the fire was returned, and the gun-boats were driven in.
Two negro men, one belonging to D. A. Smith, Esq. Cashier of the Mechanics bank in Baltimore, and the other to Mr. William Hawkins, have been apprehended and secured for robbing the bank on the 29th ult. The manner of their detection was somewhat singular. They endeavored to prevail on a person in the employ of Mr. Hawkins, to sign some of the blank notes which they had stolen, and promised him a handsome reward for his trouble. This circumstance was communicated to Mr. H. who immediately represented the case to the proper authority, and had them taken into custody.
Their plan having been otherwise well concerted, as they had purchased a variety of clothing, &c. with the intention of going to sea. We have not been able to ascertain the amount of finished notes stolen, but understand it does not exceed 200 dolls.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.
The latest letters received from Gen. Wilkinson are dated at Natchitoches, Oct. 24th. He states that he was about moving the army to the banks of the Sabine; and that when there, he intended to propose to the Spanish governor, that the American forces should retire to Natchitoches, and the Spanish forces to Nacogdoches. The former place is about sixty miles on this side, and the latter about eighty miles on the other side of the Sabine. It was the opinion of Gen. Wilkinson that this proposition would be acceded to. In case it should not, he was not in the least fearful of consequences.
NON-IMPORTATION ACT.
As the accommodation of our differences with Great Britain has not yet been, in all probability, notified to our Government, it is expected no efforts have been made to suspend the operation of the law. Even had such an intimation been received, it is not to be expected that the President would now call an extraordinary session of Congress, to authorise that suspension. That act will therefore most certainly go into effect on the 15th of Nov.
Some Republicans have however considered this measure, not as mere temporary expedient, but as constituting part of a permanent system of measures, for countervailing British duties and encouraging our domestic manufactures. Such men will therefore be opposed to any repeal of this law.
If the following observations of the Aurora be correct, measures have been already taken to evade its provisions. —It is the part of every good citizen to oppose these illegal proceedings.
"These remarks have originated in our ideas of the necessity of every American enforcing the non importation act , just the same as if negotiation was not going forward.
"We sometime past, informed and forwarded the public of the plans intended by the British agents to avoid that act.
"We now repeat it to the administration , that large quantities of prohibited merchandise of every description have been sent out from Britain to Halifax and other ports in Nova Scotia and Canada—purposely to be smuggled into these states. The custom house officers particularly to the Eastward , will doubtless be charged to be doubly vigilant. We know that there are some men who feign yet affect to depreciate and despise newspaper information—their affection has been carried too far." Aurora of Oct. last.
LITERARY.
"DIVERSIONS OF PURLEY"—This work forms a new era in philosophy. It is the production of the celebrated JOHN HORNE TOOKE, and is stampted with all the marks of his strong and active mind. He points out, in the course of it, and corrects, the errors of men, whose erudition had fashioned those errors, and whose character for dry research had made them in some measure the arbiters of language. He traces those errors to their source, and by arguments simple but irresistible, he exerts the most perfect and implicit assent to his own doctrines. It is a work which should be read and studied by every one, who aspires to a pure and perspicuous style, and who wishes to be thoroughly acquainted with the meaning and nature of those hitherto puzzling but necessary parts of our language, which grammarians have been content to name without explaining.
The first American edition of this work will be comprised in two volumes, large octavo, the first of these has just been published, the second will be ready for delivery within a month.
Subscriptions will be received until the second volume shall be ready for publication, and no longer—at two dollars and fifty cents each volume, in boards; payable on delivery.
Book-sellers may obtain any number of the work, bound or in sheets, on the usual terms, on application to the publisher. Wm. Duane, 106 Market-street, Philadelphia.—Nov. 28.
BOSTON, DECEMBER 4.
Supreme Judicial Court.—The grand inquest for the county, have returned a bill of indictment against THOMAS O. SELBRIDGE, Esq. for MANSLAUGHTER, in killing Mr. Charles Aullin, on the 4th of August last. He was arraigned on Tuesday, and pleaded not guilty to the charge! The court inquired when he would be ready for his trial; he replied that he had not yet consulted his counsel on the subject; and he had witnesses to collect. The court after a consultation with the Attorney General, did not assign any particular day, but directed him to be ready for trial as soon as possible. His counsel then moved, that he be admitted to bail, to attend from day to day until his trial. He was then required to find bail in 2000 dollars penalty, to abide his trial. He has found the bail, and is restored to his liberty.
Amount of Goods, &c. exported from the port of Baltimore to foreign ports, during the year ending the 30th September, 1806—fourteen million, five hundred and seventy nine thousand, four hundred and eighty-eight dollars.
PORTSMOUTH,
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1806.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By an arrival from Rotterdam, at Cape-Ann, Dutch letters have been received to the 16th October. They concur in stating, that Lord Lauderdale left Paris for England, on the 9th October, without effecting Preliminaries of Peace.
One of the Rotterdam letters adds, that an action had taken place between the French and Prussians, in which the latter was victorious. No date, or place, is mentioned, when and where the battle was fought. We before received a report of this kind; which ulterior dates contradicted.—We hear nothing further of the royal conference spoken of.
London papers to the 11th Oct. (two days latest) have reached us via New-York.—They contain but few additional particulars.
The French and Prussian battalions continued to approach each other.—The French advancing in three directions towards a central point in Saxony, and the Prussians concentrating towards that point. It was said, Napoleon's imperial H. Q. were to be at Wurtzburg (Franconia) the 4th October; and Frederick's royal H. Q. at or near Nauenbourg, (Saxony) at the same time.—These places are about 130 American miles a part.—but the advanced parties of the two powers were much nearer.—The French being at Schweinfurt, and the Prussian in front of Weimar.—The last movements of Bonaparte indicated an attack upon Saxony in the first instance; and to make assurance sure he had ordered his troops on the Inn to join in it.—Thus leaving a large body of Austrians in Bohemia, between Tabor and Prague unwatched. The same accounts speak of a negotiation kept on foot, notwithstanding these hostile appearances.—We cannot believe that Prussia would contend single-handed against France, if she could escape subjugation without an appeal to the bayonet.—But if it is a part of the prodigious plans of Bonaparte, to conquer Prussia, that he may have another kingdom to cut up and deal out among his relations and friends, "by right of conquest;" then Prussia can have no will on the subject.—She must submit either before or after a struggle.
[Beson Centinel.]
Capt. Thurlo, arrived at Newburyport, from Alicante, which place he left 26th October, informs, that, "previous to his leaving Alicante, he was informed by Mr. John H. Rogers, a respectable merchant of that place, that certain accounts had been received there, that Lord Lauderdale actually left Paris the 16th Oct.—Capt. T. also informs, that several days after leaving the Straits of Gibraltar, he spoke the English squadron under the command of Com. Hood, consisting of five ships of the line, three frigates and two smaller vessels, who, after informing him of their capture of the French frigates, (as stated in the last GAZETTE) added, that they had received advices of Lord Lauderdale's leaving Paris the 16th of October, being the same date of the Alicante account." Capt. T. is a gentleman of information and veracity:—And this concurring with previous accounts from the North of Europe ; we think the public may safely calculate on the prolongation of the war between Great Britain and France.
From St. Thomas.—Capt. Sturges, arrived at Philadelphia from St. Thomas, which he left 7th Nov. informs, that it was reported at that place previous to his departure, that 3 French ships of the line had got into Martinique, after having had an engagement with a British squadron (Commodore Hood's) in which the French had lost four of their consorts, having on board 1000 troops.
It is not easy to discover the object of the French government in convening the leaders of the Jewish nation. The questions proposed to the assembly, do not appear to be of sufficient dignity, to furnish any clue to an explanation of this measure.
It is not improbable, that this step, may be connected with the well known design of the Emperor of France to attempt the restoration of the commerce with India, to the ancient channel, by the Mediterranean and the Red Sea; from whence it has not been so much diverted by a discovery of the passage around the Cape of Good Hope, as by the barbarous intruded by the conquests of the Turks.
The restoration of a people, so commercial in their dispositions and habits as the Jews, to an undisturbed residence in Palestine, would materially contribute to the accomplishment of such a design. Virginia Argus.

From WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 29. On Monday Congress commences its session. Several members have arrived—It is not however expected there will be a sufficient number to form a quorum of either house on that day. Should a quorum be formed, it is probable we should be gratified with the President's Message on the first day of the session.
Col. PHILIP REAB, (late a member of the executive council) a genuine republican, has been elected a Senator in the congress of the United States, to fill up the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Robert Wright, Esq. lately chosen governor of Maryland. [Balt. Amer.]
The President of the United States has issued a Proclamation, declaring that he has received information that a military enterprise is preparing by some citizens of the United States, (Burr and others) against the dominions of Spain; and calling upon all officers to be vigilant in searching and bringing to punishment all persons concerned in preparing the said enterprise.
The editor of the Worcester Spy says "By the intrigues of ambitious men, and by the delusion of an infatuated people, Colonel Burr was made the second officer of government, and turned upon a pivot which had well nigh made him the first."
That he was not made the first officer of government, is owing, entirely, to the inflexible integrity and perseverance of the republicans in opposition to federal intrigue which was employed to place Mr. Burr in the presidential chair. How much honor will accrue to the federal party for their obstinate adherence to Mr. Burr, his past and future conduct will assist in determining.
If the federalists believe, as they pretend, that Mr. Burr is a bad man, why do they mention his near approach to the presidency in 1801? Do they glory in their own shame? Or do they foolishly imagine the people have forgotten who voted for him thirty six times as president of the union?—Federal grumblers, be careful, lest in your zeal to affect the disgrace of the administration, you should, if possible, heighten your own.
[Political Observer.]
Finances of the state of Maryland.
The finances of a few states in the union are in a more flourishing situation than those of Maryland. By official statements laid before the legislature, it appears that her capital, principally consisting of United States and bank stock, amounts to 1,612,000 dollars.
That her annual receipts independent of taxes amount to 198,000 dollars. That on the first of November, 1806, there was a specie balance in the treasury, of 83,000 dollars.
That the estimated receipts for the ensuing year, together with the specie balance in the treasury, will be 243,000 dollars.
Of which, only 92,000 dollars is computed to be the annual demand—Leaving a clear balance of 158,000 dollars. [National Intell.]
A thorough-going federalist, upon hearing that Selbridge was acquitted of murder, exclaimed "By G—d Selbridge is cleared!" to which a boy, standing by, said, "No sir, not by god, but by MEN." [Boston Democrat.]
A black man, named HARDY, was indicted for the MURDER of an infant child, by strangling and throwing it overboard, on Thursday evening, Nov. 27th, from South Boston bridge.
DEDICATION.
On Thursday last, the African Meeting House, at West-Boston, was dedicated to the worship of God. At the same time, the Rev. THOMAS PAUL, a man of color, was introduced to the pastoral care of the African Baptist Church, in that place. Sermon by Mr. PAUL. The other religious services were performed by the Rev. Dr. Stillman and Rev. Dr. Baldwin. Though the weather was very unfavorable, the assembly was large and respectable. The singing was excellent and appropriate. One hundred and twenty-three dollars were collected on the occasion, toward the payment of the debt due on the house.—It is hoped that a generous public will still be willing to aid this benevolent design, and by their subscriptions assist in discharging the remaining balance, and in completing the School room, for the education of the people of colour of all denominations. [Boston paper.]
Voluntary Cremation.—It appears from a late publication, that the number of women who submitted to be burned on the funeral pile of their husbands, within thirty miles round Calcutta, amounted only in the short space between the 15th of April and the 15th of October, 1804, to 116. Such is the prevalence of this shocking superstition, which it is to be hoped the gradual progress of English laws, and manners, and religion, will, in a great measure suppress, if not altogether abolish.

Three things a Wife should be like— which three things she should not be like.
A Wife domestic, good and pure, Like SNAIL, should keep within her door; But not like SNAIL in silver'd track, Place all her wealth upon her back.
A Wife should be like Echo true, And speak when she is spoken to; But not like Echo still be heard Contending for the final word.
Like a Town Clock a Wife should be— Keep time and regularity; But not like Clock, barange so clear, That all the town her voice might hear.
Young Man! if these allusions strike, She whom as Bride you hail, Must just be like, and just unlike An Echo, Clock and Snail.
VIRTUE.
Virtue is of intrinsic value and good desert, and of indispensable obligation; not the creature of will, but necessary and immutable; not local or temporary, but of equal extent and antiquity with the Divine mind; not a mode of sensation but everlasting truth; not dependant on power, but the guide of all power. Virtue is the foundation of honor and esteem, and the source of all beauty, order and happiness in nature. It is what confers value on all the other endowments and qualities of a reasonable being, to which they ought to be absolutely subservient; and without which, the more eminent they are, the more hideous deformities, and the greater curses they become.
The use of it is not confined to any one stage of our existence, or to any particular situation we can be in, but reaches through all the periods and circumstances of our beings. Many of the endowments and talents we now possess, and of which we are too apt to be proud, will cease entirely with the present state; but this will be our ornament and dignity in every future state, to which we may be removed. Beauty and wit will die, learning will vanish away, and all the arts of life be too forgot; but virtue will remain forever.
Such is the importance of virtue— Of what consequence, therefore is it that we practice it! There is no argument or motive, in any respect, fitted to influence a reasonable mind, which does not call us to this. One virtuous disposition of soul is preferable to the greatest natural accomplishment and abilities, and of more value than all the treasures in the world.
If you are wise, then, study virtue, and contemn every thing that can come in competition with it. Remember, that nothing else deserves one anxious thought or wish. Remember, that this alone is honor, glory, wealth and happiness. Secure this, and you secure every thing. Lose this, and all is lost.
C. PIERCE'S
Fortunate Lottery Office. HOW strange it is, that persons should need any persuasion to attend to what may be of such vast importance to them!— There are but very few people so poor, but they may spare, (without hardly missing it) money enough to purchase a Ticket in a Lottery, which may draw them eight thousand dollars without a cent deduction, and this sum would raise them from that abject poverty, which necessarily makes them slaves to others!— Now Hark'ee, the Amoskeag Canal Lottery will positively commence drawing the 15th of this month, when some persons must draw 8,000; 2,000, and several thousands, besides hundreds, fifties, &c. &c. and one adventurer stands an equal chance with the other. And since this must be so— why will ye not repair IMMEDIATELY to the Lucky Lottery Office of C. PIERCE, and purchase whole tickets at 33 1/3, and quarters 9 3/4, in the above lottery, and stand equal Candidates of Fortune till you know your fate, and should you eventually draw a blank, don't be discouraged, but remember, where you lose your money is the right place to find it again! Then try in the Harvard College Lottery, which will draw in January next, where 15,000 dollars must fall to the fortune of some one, and why not YOU or ME as well as another! Come try your luck once more, at C. PIERCE's Fortunate Lottery Office, and you shall have his good will, for a good FAT PRIZE. Dec. 2.
