POLITICAL.
American Glory and Felicity.
No. III.
THE combination of proud, self-interested men in our country, seeking to monopolize every advantage, and therefore incessantly exerting themselves in favour of monarchy, aristocracy, and despotism, can never be brought to acquiesce in a government like ours, the principles of which militate against self-agrandizement, and the accumulating of immense estates, to the destruction of that rational equality in which consists the happiness and the security of Republicans. A few more years of the arbitrary reign of Adams, and his adherents, would, in all probability, have totally banished Republicanism and liberty from America, and the tyranny and oppression against which we fought, and which we drove from our shores, would have been enthroned with ten fold more strength and terror. But our free born citizens were too knowing for the men who meditated their ruin, and too well acquainted with the principles of liberty and humanity to be over reached by their diabolical cunning. They penetrated thro' their infernal designs; they rose on us , and hurled them from their usurped seats, laid waste their sanguine hopes and prostrated them in the dust, never more to rise to power and influence. Yet while they breathe the breath of life, they will plot against a government they hate, though every machination and effort of theirs has been counteracted & defeated. Liberty guarded by justice, wisdom and righteousness, defies all their combinations, and turns all their Councils into foolishness, renders their diviners mad and takes their wise in their own craftiness. This new world was never intended to be a theatre for tyranny and superstition, but for the display of the most consummate wisdom and the sublimest virtues, for the enjoyment of perfect freedom, and for a regenerating exemplar to the nations of the earth. The events of the revolving years confirm this truth, and every day throws a new splendor around it. The generous, the truly ennobling principles of republicanism make a rapid progress in the minds of the citizens of those States which have been most deceived, and drawn from their true interests by the pretended friends, as well as by the more open enemies of liberty and a free government. The plots of great men—great in mischief—have been discovered, and both justice and humanity demand retribution for their crimes; and retribution they will have on an early day. Can there be crimes of greater magnitude than those, whose atrocity consists in undermining the liberties of a nation, and plotting the misery, degradation and ruin of millions of happy freemen, to extend to many millions yet unborn?—Our Constitution, framed by the wisest of men, is esteemed by all nations for its superior excellency; and it is not one of the least of its excellencies, that it provides for its own amendment. The proposed amendment, of great importance and necessity has been vehemently opposed, by the federal party, with arguments inconclusive and eloquence unavailing. For a people to bind themselves in a political compact without prudent exceptions, divesting themselves of the power to render it more complete and beneficial, would be the most egregious folly. A child could teach the federalists better. But they know better than they pretend; and their opposition arises only from a spirit of contradiction and enmity. Man in his present state is imperfect, and is continually improving in the science of government; and thus he is progressing towards that perfection, to which by the source of wisdom he is designed. The federalists complain bitterly of the disappointment of their hopes of the distinctions of nobility. What a wretched government is this, say they, without the distinctions of ranks, nobles, lords spiritual and temporal? Republican government has sublimer distinctions. Citizens are ranked or promoted according to their abilities and merits. In the same manner are distinguished the intelligences of the world of purity & perfection; and the more republicans attend to the distinctions which arise from merit, the nearer they are assimilated to the government maintained in the celestial world.
The rapid growth of Republicanism in New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and Rhode-Island , within the three last years—These are the States, which are vulgarly called " New England ." These are the States, on which spurious federalism has relied, to exterminate true Republicanism from the face of the earth, by, the force of prejudice and the influence of a profligate machivelism, which sticks at no means to accomplish its ends. These are the States, in which certain demagogues of dissolute morals, and more corrupt politics till dare to threaten a dissolution of the Federal Union; altho' they well know, that if to morrow, what they have been pleased to call New-England , should be dissevered from the sister States, the inhabitants would not only bleed at every pore, as the first and immediate effect of this unnatural schism—but, that the people of these States, including N. York , would form new statistical constitutions, and a new federal compact to Unite them, more democratic or popular than even the present; popular as our national and local establishments are now universally allowed to be.

Of these States Rhode-Island and Vermont are now completely reformed, in opinions & practice. They have acceded to the congressional amendment, and are thus become members of the now truly federal constellation, and are indissolubly united to the other eleven states, which are incontestibly attached to the designating principle, in the future elections of the First Magistrate, as an indispensable requisite to ensure the uninterrupted continuance of peace and prosperity to this immense and encreasing empire.
In respect to New-Hampshire , every thing is as promising as it can be wished. The election of Governor is yet uncertain; but the parties are so nearly balanced, that the new fashioned Anti-Federalism , which modestly assumes the veil of Federalism , is at least neutralized. It is muzzled by the friends of the Union, and can do no harm—probably it is far better; for there can be scarcely a remaining doubt, that a decided majority of Democratic Republicans are elected to the House of Representatives.
As to Massachusetts , we must drop a tear upon the unfortunate versatility of human opinion; that this most excellent and truly Republican State, in habits, manners and property, should not be found now, as of old, at its post with a leading and commanding influence: an example to the other States, for its disinterested exertions in the great cause of rational liberty, civil and religious—and a terror to the votaries of despotism, as well in the Old as in the New World. But in this illustrious Commonwealth, enlightened republicanism is notwithstanding, making a decided and very rapid advance to those political establishments, which include the peace, liberty and safety of the great whole, as their primary and most essential objects.
The habits of Massachusetts , are not easily shaken. Ten years of strenuous opposition, were required to shew, and to convince the people, that Hutchinson was on enemy of their rights and liberty; and that the British Government was pursuing coolly and systematically a plan of absolute colonial despotism. But when once convinced, the people never receded one step, but were determined to perish in the public ruin. So it will soon be here; when just sentiments are once re-established, they will remain, confirmed by the united power of habit and principle never again to be shaken by force or fraud. ( Chronicle. )
Massachusetts Election.
It is amusing to see the different manners that are adopted by the Anglo-federal prints, to qualify their despondency at the increase of Republican votes:—While the Centinel is puffing and distending the lank and consumptive carcass of the Aristocracy, to hide its decay, from observation; the Boston Gazette , is more honest in its appearances, and deprecates the progress of Republicanism in the Eastern States, with a rueful aspect and in tones of woe;—The Centinel vents his groans in subtle secrecy, but the Gazette , like an ominous Raven of the Monarchists, croaks the downfall of his party with a sadness of spirit, that speaks the approach of Death! ( Boston Democrat. )
There are 453 towns and plantations in the State of Massachusetts , the votes returned from 322 stand thus— Sullivan 20,763, Strong 24,535.
“There is the greatest reason to believe, that we shall have a greater number of found unadulterated republicans, in the ensuing senate of Massachusetts , than has been known, since the adoption of the new constitution of the state. It is pleasurable to see how rapidly the electors are awaking from the effects of the Aristocratic opiates; they are now rubbing their eyes, and will shortly see the path of republican independence clear before them.”
It is to be expected that federalism will be active, under after another Presidential Election. Her partizans will then probably become less zealous and her followers fall off or acquiesce in republican men and measures.
A gentleman in the city of Washington has received a letter from a confidential friend of high standing in England, announcing that the king of Great Britain had been declared in a state of insanity; and that the greatest animosity prevailed on the occasion between the several political parties: The Fox and the Pitt (or Grenville) parties, had united against the Addington (or ministerial) party; in regard to the settlement of the Regency.
It is well known that Mr. Addington does not wish to put the Prince of Wales at the head of the government; whilst the other parties, particularly Fox's party, are very anxious for his elevation to the throne. If the Prince of Wales is declared Regent of the kingdom, Mr. Addington and his party will undoubtedly fall. A change of ministry, at all events seems to be at hand.— Rep. Adv.

We have much satisfaction, in communicating the following extract of a letter, and make no doubt it will be acceptable to our readers, as it encourages the hope that our countrymen lately captured may be the more speedily released by the Tripolitan regency. When our squadron captured a Tripolitan cruiser on a former occasion, the crew was not only treated with humanity, but released; this humane conduct certainly did honor to our officers and their government, but when it is recollected, what sort of an enemy we have to contend with, when we reflect on the confinement of the officers of the Philadelphia, there will appear to exist motives sufficiently strong for observing such a course in future as may enable us to be humane to our own citizens. We must continue to be humane to our prisoners for the sake of our respectability as a nation, but we will be justified in detaining the persons who may fall in our power and releasing them on no other terms than on the delivery of our seamen. Besides the value of the presents mentioned in the following, which must be considerable, the rank of the persons seized must still more excite the regret of the Tripolitan regency; and if an offer of accomodation shall not have speedily followed it will surprise us; at all events when our squadron shall be reinforced, we can command our own terms as we did at Morocco.
Extract of a letter from Com. Preble, in Syracuse, to Mr. Cathcart dated January 4, 1804.
“I have just returned from a cruise off Tripoli, where, on the 23d December, I captured a vessel with the Balthaw's presents to the Grand Signior, accompanied by several officers of distinction. I trust this capture will give us considerable advantages in negotiating a peace”
The governor of the state of Kentucky has published his proclamation, disbanding the troops which volunteered their services for taking possession of Louisiana—annexed to the proclamation we find the following intelligent and pertinent letter from the secretary of the commonwealth. The sentiments it breathes, and the honorable testimony it bears of the good conduct and patriotism of the people of Kentucky will not fail to call to mind numerous federal misrepresentations which were issued at the period when New Orleans was closed—instead of encampments to oppose the general government, and instead of declamatory speeches, both of which Mr. Coleman informed had been made, the militia of Kentucky have exhibited an example of individual propriety of behaviour and of general devotion to their country which might well become the New England brawlers about ready habits, who assume all the virtues of the nation and make a practice of decrying the merits of their southern and western countrymen.
CIRCULAR LETTER TO THE FIELD OFFICERS.
Secretary's office, 17th March, 1804.
SIR, I am directed by the Governor to transmit to you a copy of his proclamation for disbanding the troops which were embodied for the purpose of proceeding to Louisiana. Possession of Orleans and its immediate dependencies having been peaceably obtained on the 20th of December last, there has been happily no occasion for those services which were honorably offered by the militia men of Kentucky. The Governor therefore requests that you will be pleased to inform those who were enrolled for the purpose within the bounds of your command that their services are dispensed with, and to assure them at the same time that the president of the United States feels the highest respect for the patriotic ardor discovered by the citizens of this commonwealth in the voluntary offer of their services at the call of their country. The ready, yet temperate alacrity with which they stepped forward on the late occasion not only does honor to themselves, but tends to inspire confidence in that genuine republican doctrine that standing armies are unnecessary, and that the liberties and rights of a country
are safe under the guardianship of the great body of her citizens. And tho' on that occasion some of the people of Kentucky may have been unwilling to exchange domestic comforts for the toils and honors of war—though there might have been no great superabundance of military ardor and enterprise—yet the reflecting patriot, satisfied that there was sufficient for the just object which their country had in view, will, so far from regretting that there was no excess of enthusiasm, consider it as an evidence that the people of America feel themselves too much at ease in their own homes, to become the instruments of wild projects of ambition, similar to those which render many countries of the world the scenes of desolation and carnage.
The governor, sir, congratulates you and the rest of his fellow-citizens on the very peaceable and honorable method by which this immense addition has been made to our territories, and he trusts that it will inspire them with the highest confidence both in the federal administration, and in those principles, pervading the people of confederated America, which called such an administration into existence.
For many years have the people of the western waters been anxious for the free navigation of the Mississippi. It is obtained: It is obtained without bloodshed, without contention: and the port of New Orleans instead of being a place of mere deposit, is become a port of the United States. Here surely the people of Kentucky are rewarded for their past fidelity to the general government, and attachment to the union—and are fully justified in the conviction which they have always held, that how much soever, for a while there might be, in the constituted authorities an aberration from the genuine principles of republicanism—yet that no radical disease had infected the body politic—but that the feeling, the reflection, & good sense of the people of America should after a time restore all things to their primitive order and purity.
The people of Louisiana, instead of being our enemies or our rivals, are become our brothers. In our intercourse with them it will be our duty to consider them as such.—Speaking a different language, deriving their origin from different countries—from countries indeed, between which there is an almost uninterrupted jealousy & discord;—It is not improbable that the people of Kentucky and the people of Louisiana may be possessed of very opposite prejudices and manners. These, however, ought to be lost sight of as much as possible. The degree of satisfaction which the inhabitant of Louisiana will feel under the government to which they have passed, will depend more perhaps on the people of Kentucky than on the people of any other state in the union. It is in our power to vanquish their prejudices; but to do this we must first vanquish our own. We must view them—not as Frenchmen, or as Spaniards—but as Americans: for it would be but a vain mockery to invest them with the character of citizens, whilst we practically regard them as aliens. Our government has obtained the territory:—It is for us to win the people.—To little purpose would it be that the natural boundaries of the American empire are extended, unless the moral ones receive an equal extension: and it will be but a paltry consolation that we possess the country unless we possess the hearts of the inhabitants.
These ideas, sir, the governor has deemed it expedient to embrace this opportunity of suggesting, because it will be in your power to impress them on the minds of our fellow citizens. It will be in your power to urge it on those whose business or adventurous spirit may from time to time carry them down the Mississippi, that it should be their aim by their manners and mode of intercourse with people of Louisiana, to impress them with a favourable opinion of the citizens of the United States, and to endeavour, whenever the subject may come before them, to give a dispassionate and intelligent account of the nature of our political institutions.
I am, Sir, very respectfully, Your most obt. servant, HARRY TOULMIN.
NEW-YORK, APRIL 7.
While every feeling mind reflects with pain on the alarms and the dangers which agitate the European world, the peace and prosperity of the American, furnish subject of every agreeable reflection. That our country is far progressing in prosperity, it is superfluous to remark. Agriculture and Commerce, the sources of national wealth and greatness, are daily advancing, both in improvement and extension. The latter, owing to the situation of the powers of Europe and at the expence of their commercial interests, is at present experiencing an amazing increase, giving employment to an almost incredible number of persons and diffusing grandeur through
out the empire.—Among the various proofs of this which might be advanced we state as one that in the course of two days (Wednesday and Thursday last,) not less than Fifty sail of Vessels entered this port. Of these some were from the W. Indes, from the East, from South America from France, Britain, and the British dominions in North-America, laden with the produce of every climate, and the manufactures of every country, these vessels transport to our shores whatever can satisfy the demand of luxury, please the taste of fashion, and employ the hand of art. Their valuable cargoes will soon be dispersed far and wide over the States and in return they must carry out the produce of this country. Thus commerce proceeds and thus America advances to the first rank in the scale of nations.
APRIL 13.
The ship Rising States , captain Shaler, which arrived yesterday in 37 days from Amsterdam, failed from New Dieppe on the 6th ult. but brings no intelligence that would confirm the reports lately circulated of a conspiracy against the first consul having been discovered in France. The French general Marmont had arrived in Holland, to take the command of the troops intended for the invasion of England; the gun boats, &c. appeared to be ready, and no new preparations were going forward connected with the menaced invasion.—The people, however, talked coolly about it, without forming an opinion as to the time it would take place.
The severity of the weather had obliged the British squadron to relinquish the blockade of the Texel.—The Batavian government had put all the lighters in requisition; the French were constructing fortifications at the Helder and New Dieppe. Only one British armed vessel had been seen off the coast for some time back. Markets for coffee & sugar, were good.
BALTIMORE, APRIL 10.
The books of the Commissioners of the Union Bank of Maryland, for receiving subscriptions, for 15,500 shares were opened yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, at Mr. Bryden's, and closed at 4 P. M. during which short period, by the judicious management of the commissioners, almost 15,000 names and 470,000 dollars were received with all the order and regularity of an established bank.
BOSTON, APRIL 18.
From AUX-CATES , (St. Domingo,) March 18, 1804.
“On our passage we met with several privateers; but they appeared afraid of us. The French privateers are very numerous in the Passage ; and we must fight our way through them. The Blacks here still continue to kill up all the French whites, men, women and children. Yesterday, they picked up seventy-five of these unfortunate people, and last night the whole of them were massacred. No white person, of any nation, dare be seen out after seven o'clock in the evening. Three days ago, a French privateer run ashore a small distance from this place.—The blacks compelled the French Captain to hang his whole crew (60 in number) and then to be his own executioner. The French have instructed the blacks in lessons of blood; and they have proved apt scholars. Since this last assassination, the French have sworn to take all vessels trading with the blacks, and to put their crews to death. All kinds of American produce here is very high, beef 30 dollars per barrel; pork nearly 40; flour seven joes; butter 55 cents per lb.—Cheese 20; bacon 55 cents per lb. and dry goods at any price you may set them at. Coffee is 7 dollars per hundred. The Black Commander in Chief, and his officers, appear much attached to the Americans. [ Centinel. ]
From the Boston Chronicle of the 19th.
THIS DAY is the 29th anniversary of the most memorable and important event, which has marked the blood-stained annals of the British nation. The 19th of April, '75, forms a new epocha in the history of mankind. From this auspicious day man began to think. Independent of prescription and authority, human reason has at length assumed her natural and imprescriptible rights. At this illustrious period an entire new order of things commenced, in opposition to the United power of foreign despotism and of homespun traitors. Americans! I swear by the memory of those victims, who sealed the charter of your freedom and independence by their blood, that you will never alienate that rich inheritance to the arts of pretended and insidious friends, which you had bravely rescued from the fatal grasp of your mortal and unceasing enemy. The names of our honest yeomen, who fell in the battle of Lexington, will be held in glorious remembrance, as long as the love of liberty shall remain.

Portsmouth.
Tuesday, April 24, 1804.
NEWS EXPECTED.
Accounts from France to the 20th, & from England to the 24th March, may be expected in the course of a few days; vessels sailing from those places, at the period mentioned, having been spoken with by some of the late arrivals at this port. One of the vessels spoken is the Mars bound from Liverpool to New-York; the other the Eagle , from Bordeaux for Baltimore.—They have probably both arrived.
From the EAST-INDIES.
Capt. Myrick, from Batavia, in the ship Indus , informs, that a French squadron of one 74, two frigates, and the corvette Berceau , [probably, that commanded by admiral Linois] sailed from Batavia the 8th December—which, previous to the arrival of the Indus , had destroyed the English pepper magazines at Bencoolen, (on the island of Sumatra,) to the amount, it was said, of from 15 to 20,000 picoles. And that the same squadron had captured an English ship at Bencoolen, with a valuable cargo of Calcutta and Madras goods, and sent her to the Isle of France.
Accounts from the coast of Africa state, that the Isle of Goree, had been assaulted and captured by a French national vessel, and privateers from Cayenne.
Captain Center, of the ship Thomas Gordon , who arrived at New-York, from Madeira, informs, that a severe shock of an earthquake was felt there at 6 o'clock in the morning of the 9th of March, which lasted about fifteen seconds, and shook the tiles off the houses; it was very sensibly felt on board the shipping in the harbour. As Captain Center failed the same day, he had no opportunity to hear what damage was done by it. The general opinion was that it had lasted fifty seconds longer. This shock added to the late calamity at Madeira, had very much alarmed the inhabitants who began to think themselves very precariously situated.
DOMESTIC.
THE reinforcement preparing at Washington, for our squadron in the Mediterranean is to consist of the United States, of 44 guns, President, of 44, Congress, of 36, and Constellation, of 36; to be commanded by captains L. Barron, Rodgers, J. Barron, and Campbell. The John Adams, armed en flute, goes out as a store ship, to be commanded by Lt. Chauncy. When this reinforcement arrives, Commodore Preble's squadron will consist of the Constitution, President, and United States of 44 guns; Congress and Constellation, of 36; John Adams, 32; Syren, Capt. Stuart, of 16; Argus, Capt. Hull, 16; Nautilus, Capt. Summers, of 16; Enterprize, Capt. Decatur, of 14; and Vixen, Capt. Smith, of 14 guns; in all 11 vessels. We understand that the recruiting rendezvous have been opened at New-York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk—So seamen for the President, of 44 guns, failed from New-York, for Washington.—The law altering the charter of the city of New-York, has been passed. It provides that every person who rents a tenement which pays 25 dollars per ann. shall have a right to vote.—Several petitions for turnpike roads in South-Carolina, are preparing to be presented to the legislature of that State.—334,908 barrels of Flour, were inspected at the port of Philadelphia, during the last year.—Between 3 and 4000 dolls. have been generously subscribed in Philadelphia, for the relief of the poor and indigent, who suffered by the late fire at Norfolk.—The Fayette Circuit Court commenced its session at Lexington, (K.) in March last; Richard Tomlinson, who was indicted for a rape, committed on his own niece, was found guilty, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment at hard labour, in the penitentiary house; public indignation was perhaps never more roused than on this occasion; during the trial, the Court-House was continually crowded—and when the jury bro't in their verdict, a burst of applause resounded from every part of the house.—The Rev. Nathaniel Porter, of Conway, has been appointed to deliver the election sermon, before the government of this State in June next.
List of votes for Governor.
  Langdon. Gilman.   187 towns in our last. 12100 12137   Covington, - - - 15 3   Effingham, - - - 25 36   12140 12176 
Verbal information from different parts of the State (if correct) confirm the election of Mr. Langdon, by the People, to the office of Governor of the State of New-Hampshire—Federal objections to the contrary notwithstanding.
New-Hampshire Election.
Some of the Boston papers have mentioned the result of the votes for Governor in this state, which is said to comprize a list of 203 towns, taken from a New-Hampshire paper, and from these premises have proceeded to pronounce with a great degree of certainty, on the final issue of the election. From whatever other source this information may have been derived, we are certain it was not taken from a New-Hampshire paper. We have every one of these before us, published since the election, from which this pretended information could have been received, and after the most careful examination of all of them, we can find the votes of only 186 towns—which gives Mr. Gilman 12155, and Mr. Langdon 12197.
We have in preparing the above statement, been at considerable pains to make it as correct as the nature of the thing will admit. Having all the different statements before us, we have compared them with each other and taken those which appeared most likely to be correct. We have also carefully reviewed our own statements, and found several material errors in our former half addition; which will account for the different footing, now presented from that which was last given. On the whole, we think the result of the election extremely doubtful. When the votes are sorted and counted they may, and probably will differ considerably from the newspaper statements, as these are not generally from official sources. There are still a few towns in the upper part of the State, from which we have not heard; and from most of which we probably never shall. Who will be our next governor must therefore remain uncertain till the first Wednesday of June next.—Farmers Cabinet. We believe the above statement to be the most correct, of any that has come to hand.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the city of New York to his friend in this town.
"You have been good enough to give me your political creed, I will with equal frankness express mine. Although I was not of suitable age to participate (in any great degree) in our glorious struggle for independence, yet I ever do till, and trust while I retain my understanding, I ever shall, cherish its sacred and incontrovertable principles; I have to add, that, I am a warm admirer of the Jeffersonian administration, believing this to be the true and faithful deposit of that glorious principle."

Improved Patent Bedstead.
THE Subscribers having observed and experienced many inconveniences attending the fixing, putting up, and taking down that necessary Article of Furniture, the Bedstead, have invented an improvement to remedy those inconveniences. Being equally applicable to common Bedsteads, with packing Bottoms, as to more costly ones, they persuade themselves it will meet with general approbation. It would exceed the limits of an advertisement to be particular in describing the structure and advantages. It may suffice to say, the Bedstead, is firmly fastened at the corners, without the troublesome operose contrivance and use of screws. It may be easily put up by one person, and little more time is required for taking it down by one person, than would be necessary for putting up and taken down the leaves of a Dining Table. These advantages are obvious in an article which requires frequent examination, and is frequently removed, but the special advantages in case of Fire will be perceived at once by those who have been obliged to remove and save furniture on such occasions of hurry and distress.—The subscribers flatter themselves that an invention combining simplicity, usefulness, and cheapness, will be encouraged by a generous public. The new constructed Patent Bedstead may be seen by applying to either of the subscribers.

Piscataqua Bridge Lottery.
THE General Court of New Hampshire having passed an Act at their late session, December 24th, 1803, granting a Lottery for the special purpose of raising Fifteen Thousand dollars, to repair and maintain the Piscataqua Bridge; and have appointed the subscribers, Managers to conduct said Lottery, who have given bonds and qualified themselves as the law directs for the faithful discharge of their duty—do now offer to the Public the following
SCHEME,
for the First Class— Tickets for sale by the Managers. SCHEME for the First Class. 10,000 Tickets at 5 dolls. is 50,000. 1 prize of : : : 8000 dolls. 1 : of : : : 4000 2 : of 1000 : : 2000 6 : of 500 : : 3000 6 : of 200 : : 1200 97 : of 50 : : 4850 100 : of 20 : : 2000 3 : of 8 : : 24800 1 : first drawn blank, 50 1 : last drawn blank, 100
3315 50,000 Subject to a deduction of 12 1/2 pr. cent.
Prizes to be paid in thirty days after the drawing is finished. Prizes not claimed in one year from that term, not to be paid, but deemed as generously given for the benefit of the Bridge.
The object of this Lottery is to assist the Proprietors, and to enable them to repair and keep passable that extremely useful and commodious Bridge, crossing the Piscataqua river; —the connecting point of Turnpike Roads, already laid out, and others contemplated of still greater magnitude. This Bridge is equally accommodating to Massachusetts, Maine and New-Hampshire—owned by, and travelled on by citizens of both States.—The Managers therefore flatter themselves with a fair sale for Tickets:—This Bridge is truly a public benefit. Individual enterprise erected it at an expense of near 70,000 dollars—and it never has netted 3 pr. cent. interest; is nearly 3000 feet in length, including an arch of 244 feet.—The present defects is sudden and unexpected, and requires immediate remedy.
