An Oration,
DELIVERED ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, 1804, At the Episcopal Church, Alexandria: BY G. W. P. CUSTIS, Esq.
MEMBER OF THE WASHINGTON SOCIETY, AT WHOSE REQUEST IT IS PUBLISHED.
WE are assembled, my Countrymen, to celebrate the 28th era of American Independence.
This is our national birth day. On this day 1776, we first beheld the light of Freedom; we burst the bonds of oppression, and espoused the cause of Liberty. Like the infant Hercules, we strangled the serpent in the cradle, and, like him, arose to power and greatness.
Unite, my fellow-citizens, in thanks to the author of all good, for permitting you as freemen to behold the return of this auspicious day.
The morning of our political life was dark and gloomy, the meridian has been bright and glorious, the evening remains with fate. The history of the rise and progress of the American revolution, forms a vast era in the history of mankind. A people born to the inheritance of freedom, become the objects of foreign oppression; but firm in defence of their birth right, they appeal to Heaven, to justice and the sword. The contest is doubtful, and fate for a while holds the balance in suspense, 'till my countrymen, aided by the hand of Providence, "burst the dark phalanx" of oppression to "let in the light" of freedom.
'Twas then we arose to the rank of a nation; 'twas then we filled the character we were destined to assume. Full many a time during the arduous struggle did the bravest heart despond; the American Eagle had begun to droop its wings, and the spark of freedom seemed glimmering to its end; but the genius of liberty, the guardian spirit of my country, watched over our safety in the hour of danger; the spirit of animation again revived, and our noble exertions were crowned with independence.
The history of those times afford a useful lesson to the inhabitants of these.
It shews what can be achieved by honest endeavor. It shews that a people impressed with a reliance on the source of all faith, and aided by a just and noble cause, can rise from the ruins of an empire, to become an empire themselves. The force of discipline, of science and experience, were vanquished by the enthusiasm of liberty.
At that great name our fathers left their fields, for the field of danger; abandoned the peaceful scenes of domestic happiness, for the awful trial of war and trouble. No longer did the patriot look back with lingering regret, on the objects of his affection, but looked forward with hope, to the great object of his country.
'Twas this vast spirit which breathed into his soul, 'twas this holy work which he conceived it his duty to perform, 'twas to give freedom and happiness to his native land that he fought and bled in her cause.
Noble character! Brave patriotic soldier! Long shall a faithful history transmit thy fame; long shall delighted posterity dwell with rapture on the story of thy worth, and pay the tribute of respect to thy exalted merit. Go teach the youth this lesson of virtue! Tell them the way to national greatness is by performing deeds of national worth, and the road to national happiness leads by the fountain of virtue and truth.
The return of this day should bring returning joy to every American bosom. It should teach us the lesson of humanity, for while we glory in what we now are, we ought to remember what we once were; the true spirit of adoration should ascend to the throne of grace, for the mercies of Providence.
The eventful period of the revolution is fresh in the memory of many who now exist. What must be their feelings on the return of a day forever held sacred in the annals of their lives. What a train of reflection must arise at the mention of '76. When you think of the dangers which encompassed you at that time, think of the joys which surround you at this, and with a heart overflowing with gratitude offer up your tribute of praise. Think you 'twas the effort of man alone which effected the great work of our happiness? O think of
him to whom such praise is due, and without whose aid, how weak is human endeavour.
To enumerate the many distinguished acts of valour and worth which occurred in our struggle, would far exceed the powers of your Orator. 'Tis a theme which has excited the talents of abler Eulogists; 'tis enough to say, that the page of American history will be brightened by the recital, and future ages gather wisdom from the tale. From our example shall posterity learn to be wise. From our wisdom shall they learn to be great, and the history of America will form the basis of future republics.
The great work of our revolution accomplished, behold us uniting in a government at once wise, firm, and just, thus giving to the world an example of national prudence. A few years, and we are seen quietly enjoying the happiness we had labored to attain, and cultivating the arts and useful employments, the peaceful occupation of a tranquil state.
At once all eyes are turned upon us. Astonished Europe will scarcely credit the tale, that her lately obscure colonies have become a virtuous republic, and is fast arising to a first rank among nations. In vain do the enemies of our happiness look for that state of local jealousy which usually arises in the commencement of republics. In place of which they behold a people endowed with a spirit of content, uniting in one common welfare.
These, my countrymen, were the happy days of our first existence as a nation. How long they will continue, future events must determine.
The federation of these states, was the great cause of our national jealousy. As we had separately contended for the glorious object of liberty, so we jointly enjoy the blessed effects of freedom, and united in one general principle, we became united in one common interest.
The antient republics of the world afforded us much matter in the formation of our system of government, and from their history we gained many valuable truths. Science, thus aided by experience and supported by patriotism, formed the excellent constitution we now enjoy; a work whose merit will stand the test of ages, and whose happy influence is its best eulogium.
Formed by the sages and patriots assembled in America's councils, this great charter of our rights received the sanction of the states, and at once became our pride and safety.
While this great monument of our wisdom shall remain, while this palladium of our nation shall continue inviolate, so long shall we be free. But when, with unhallowed hands, this fabric is defaced, our national structure falls to the ground. 'Tis a vast machine whose relative posts are so intimately connected that destroy but one, and the whole is lost; 'tis a paternal gift from our fathers to us, and should descend in primitive excellence to our latest posterity.
When your children shall prepare to destroy this system, the work of wisdom, of time, and experience, let them reflect on the labour their fathers did to obtain it and prize it as a legacy of inestimable value.
While we remain united my countrymen, our Constitution will remain with us, and when we fall it will serve as a memorial of our former greatness.
While we preserve this charter of our liberties, we need not fear foreign aggression or domestic intrigue. While our government shall remain it will create respect abroad, and confidence at home. But if you cancel this bond of union, you become a prey to foreign usurpation and domestic ambition. It is not when the fortress is entire that the enemy makes his assault, but when the opening breach invites his entrance; so when united, we may defy the world, but when divided we are lost as a nation.
The Constitution is the basis of our national government, it embraces all that can make us just and happy, it binds our interests, it forms our safety; 'tis the great national compact, where many interests unite in one general welfare.
Preserve then my countrymen, this excellent system of republican government; preserve it as a doctrine, whose truths are evident, and whose principles tend to the welfare and happiness of your country.
While we contemplate the many blessings we have enjoyed; when we reflect on the many dangers we have experienced, and rejoice in the happiness of our present state, let us pay the grateful tribute of remembrance to the memory of those who are gone. Let that eye which beams with joy at the recital of our happiness, be suffused with the manly tear of sympathy at the men-
tion of departed worth. How shall I begin the list, or where shall I close the tale. How many now sleep in the peaceful grave, how many are fast approaching the end of life.
These were once the pride of my country; they lived to do honor to the American character and to leave a lasting fame. Alas! a few years, and scarcely one will remain of the many distinguished worthies of the American Revolution; their race is run, and they are called to their Fathers, to receive the reward of their eminent merits.
When the son of true glory shall arise his first beams will irradiate the tomb of WASHINGTON—good old man! He lies interred in your neighbourhood. The simple turf with unaffected grace, alone covers his honoured head.—
"What tho' no sculptur'd forms bedeck the place,
Or marble monument his ashes grace;
Still for the deeds of worth, which he has done,
Will flowers unfading, flourish o'er his tomb."
He is gone! But he lived to see the first wish of his heart accomplished. To see his country free and happy. The vast task assigned him on this earthly stage, was amply fulfilled. The great part he was directed to act on the theatre of life, was nobly performed, and he sunk to rest, cheered by the blessings of a grateful people, and great in the esteem of an admiring world.
His services shall live with feeling affection in the breasts of his countrymen, and the exalted character of the illustrious man, will add a dignity to the age in which he lived.
I call not for the generous tear of affection from those who loved him—it would flow unbidden—I call for the manly sentiment of sympathy in every American bosom.
When Fame shall seize her trump to usher to distant ages, the actions and virtues of illustrious men, the name of WASHINGTON will thunder in the blast. When the proud monuments of human grandeur shall be moulderings in the dust; when the future barbarians shall overrun this Western Empire, at the tomb of America's Chieftain, will they bow with reverence, and their rugged souls be touched with sympathy. There is a charm in VIRTUE, which even the savage feels, and the wild untutored sons of nature, will venerate the name of WASHINGTON.
† Youth! would you be great? Be truly so. Will you ascend to the temple of Fame? Go by the road of virtue. If the path be rugged or uneven at first, when you reach the top, you attain the summit of every earthly happiness.
From that proud height, may you look with compassion on the vices of a degenerate world; from thence may you behold with pity the depravity of man, and rejoice in the sublimity of virtue.
Under the patronage of that respectable body, I have this day the honor to represent, no doubt you will be instructed in the right way, and prompted to acquire that knowledge, which shall render you respectable in society and useful to your country.
Adhere to the precepts of morality: Imbibe the true principles of religion: Cherish the noble spirit of patriotism. The one will render you esteemed in your intercourse with the world, the other will cheer you with its healthful influence, in the hour of adversity, and the love of your country is that laudable excitement, which shall lead you to honor and fame!
The American republic has now existed for many years, in which time it has shown to the world, the truth of many arguments in favor of civil liberty, and by defeating the sophism of the contrary opinion, evince the truth of the doctrine to future governments.
All nations, are not alike worthy of national liberty, and where the struggle has arisen from motives of ambition or aggrandizement, the attempt has rarely succeeded.
Without recurring to ancient history, the history of the French revolution affords us an instance even in our day, how different are the effects of causes, not wide-
* Here the Orator emphatically points to the Capitol, and every American bosom should vibrate at these lines. Yes! the Government denied to the illustrious WASHINGTON a Monument of Gratitude. The monument of his fame is so vast, that it shall survive the wreck of time, and convey to admiring posterity the primitive virtue of the American character.
† The youth under the patronage of the Washington Society.

ly dissimilar. 'Twas from oppression we each sought relief, 'Twas to redress our grievances, we arose in arms, and struggled for freedom, which nature bids us.
But mark the reign of the sword . The American Revolution began to appeal to Heaven . The first blood flowed from an American bosom , and tho' deficient in force, we were not wanting in vigour, and proceeding in the manly effort, with firmness and resolution; the event is the glorious epoch we this day celebrate.
France began in impiety, proceeded with vengeance, and ended in folly. The visionary ideas of her philosophers, were like the wild enthusiasm of her citizens, and after a brilliant conflict of many years, she laid her laurels on the tomb of her liberty. The virtuous spirit which once breathed in her nation, now sighs to its end, and she realizes only the shadow of her freedom.
The transcendent genius of the Corsican Cæsar , rode triumphant on this storm of error. His vast soul like the meridian sun, dispelled the mists of theoretic policy and grasped the destinies of France.
Thus have the talents and ambition of one great man, risen superior to the force of a people, and seized the sovereign the state.
Heaven forbid my fellow citizens our country should ever be debased by foreign usurpation, or domestic tyranny, long may we preserve our national liberties, and be the hand that dare infringe our
Yet it has happened, and may happen again. Perhaps, tho' in humble retirement, now lives the future arbiter of our fate. Perhaps that hand which shall wield our destinies, now holds the plough: Or, that tongue which shall give us laws, now faintly lisps its mother's name.
When that dark day arrives, may every free born son of America, be numbered with his fathers, nor one survive the liberty of his country.
Why say that as we increase in prosperity the prospect of misfortune may lessen? Rome fell even in the zenith of her greatness, though upheld by the wisdom and virtue of her most illustrious citizens.
'Twas when the majesty of Pompey lived. 'Twas when the stern virtue of Cato shone. 'Twas when the eloquence of Cicero breathed, yet the genius of Cæsar rose superior to the fortunes of his country, and laid the foundation of an absolute government.
Rome had become a monster of such ambition, that the world could no longer satiate her desires; her vast dominions served to embrace the poles, and her power gave laws to the remotest nations. Yet the Gothic Barbarian, usurped the seat of science, and built his dominion on the empire of the world.
Such are the wondrous changes of humanity. Such is the end of human ambition. It rises till its surface exceeds the bounds of reason, and then it sinks to its primitive level.
We have viewed the history of republics, and observe the blessings that form of government affords: Would we could close the tale, without remarking the dark side it presents.
Ingratitude has been a leading feature of the ancient system, and is not unknown in the present day. It has been an error in republics to forget the services of their citizens. Many have found that a nation can forget her friends and forgive their enemies. Many have found to their sorrow, that to have been faithful, is not to have been worthy, and that a long life spent in the service of their country, may be rewarded by an obscure death in its bosom.
If we recur to the Roman commonwealth we shall find that a decree of banishment, often followed a vote of thanks, and when great men had performed illustrious actions, they served to create national jealousies.
In Rome, Camillus returned from exile to serve his suffering country, and the illustrious Scipio, indignant of his wrongs, denied her his ashes.
In Greece, Miltiades the hero of Marathon, perished in a jail. Themistocles the conqueror at Salamis, and saviour of Greece—a foreign exile: and Aristides so justly named the just, was banished from that country which his virtues had served to adorn, and his services rendered immortal.
May the patriot soldier of the American Revolution, the brave defender of my happy country, never feel the cold chill of ingratitude, in his native land, but cheered by the notice of a grateful people, may he "sink to rest with every fame and honour blest."—May his children in losing a father, find a father in their country, and the veterans merit ensure the orphans welfare.
But alas! America which was once the

nursery of patriots, has become the school of parties. Parties have ever been inimical to good government, destructive to national aggrandizement, and injurious to peaceful relations, and form a striking contrast between the effects of sound politics, and the effects of faction.
When parties have their origin in ambition, and a nation becomes a prey to its influence, no tie can bind, no virtue protect, and the afflicted patriot may mourn the fate of his fallen country.
'Twas this ambition, which destroyed the Roman Commonwealth—'Twas this ambition which perverted the republic of France; and the same cause will destroy any government on earth.
'Tis the prevalence of party, which shall create a political distinction among us, and only esteem those worthy who are the advocates of opinion, and the true interests of the American government will be absorbed in this political vortex.
'Tis then we shall forget the first and best we ever prized. 'Tis then the aged veteran shall languish in unmerited obscurity— Methinks I hear this venerated character, the victim of political intolerance, lamenting the ingratitude of his country.
If I am the advocate of opinion, says the aged patriot, 'tis the glorious opinion for which I fought, 'tis the interest and happiness of my country. These are the sentiments I am proud to acknowledge. These are the feelings of my heart, and have formed the tenor of my life. And am I unworthy of my country's confidence? I who have spent the flower of my youth, and sacrificed the vigour of my age in her service. Am I unworthy to be trusted with the concerns of the state? I could be trusted when the vital principle of our republic hung in doubtful suspense. When the hostile legions of Europe in dread array seemed ready to overwhelm our little band, when the big cloud darkened and the storm threatened to burst on our devoted heads; when danger appalled & death threatened around, I was in arms in defence of America's rights.
My hoary locks bespeak the lapse of time, my unfurrowed cheek, the ravages of care. Full many a sleepless night has this head now whitened with age rested on the cold lap of earth, covered alone by the canopy of Heaven.
Ah! my country what toils have I borne for thy happiness. And in return have lived to see fair freedom grace my native land. To see munificent heaven reward our labors by the blessings of a free government, and to see the veteran soldier left in the winter of his days, to languish in obscurity.
The post I lately enjoyed, was sufficient for my wants, and grateful to my heart as being a mark of my country's confidence. Yet take the little all which would cause the few remaining years of an old man to be comfortable and happy. But a soldier's honor is dear unto him, and is far beyond the reach of power. My fame shall descend as a legacy to my children, and the remembrance of my services, awake the respect of posterity.
The first wish of my heart, was to see my country blest and happy, and the labour of my life has been to make her so. May she in future generations, find that integrity and worth, which so eminently distinguished her first born sons. May she in the hour of danger, find a patriotic band to espouse her interests, and protect her cause; and may she learn to discard the sycophant, and reward with her smiles, the virtuous and brave.
Calling his children around him, the soul of the American patriot, yet shines superior to misfortune. Take my sword, it has never been drawn to inflict an injury, but faithful to its master's hand, has leapt forth with joy at the call of my country, to give freedom, and happiness to my native soil.
If this is the world, Oh my countrymen, who dare be virtuous in such a world, If this is the example to future patriots? When will liberty again have votaries, or oppressed humanity vindicate the rights of man.
This picture requires the colouring of an abler artist, but I speak to you the sentiments of my heart, and the language of an American.
May the rage of political intolerance, cease to effect this favoured clime. May the persecution of party lose its force, and all distinction be lost in one national sentiment. May all ranks cleave to the constitution, as the charter of their national
We are inclined to believe that the character here alluded to, is Colonel Rufus Putnam, a brave and distinguished officer in the American revolution—but it would apply with equal propriety to any of that patriot band.
rights, and the great cause of their national prosperity, and may an union of sentiment, produce an union of brotherly affection throughout these United States.
Then shall the happy day of our first existence, as a republic, again visit our clime: Then shall the brilliant sun of American glory regladden with his beams our native soil: Then shall science progress in improvement: Then shall the arts and useful employments arise and flourish, and commerce spread its whitened wings to wait increasing wealth to the shores of America.
Let the youth be taught to love their country, to cherish the Christian virtues, and aspire to be useful to the state. Let the rising generation catch wisdom from the history of America, and learn to emulate its first born sons.
Remember you have a national character to support. The splendid reputation of your fathers lives with you. Let the love of your country be the leading feature of your political life, and the constitution the polar star to guide you. Steering by this beacon, shall the national bark arrive in the road of prosperity, and avoid the miseries of a tempestuous world.
Let the kindred arms of America be opened to receive the persecuted patriot, and afford an asylum to the oppressed of all nations.
Then shall the age of my country be the age of science, of virtue and philanthropy; then shall the enjoyments of nature attend the meridian of our life, and the bright sun of glory set upon our day.
Be free—be happy. May that Providence whose supporting arm sustained our sinking state, and whose fostering hand nurtured our infant republic, protect my country—and may the sweet spirit of liberty forever descend to bless my native land.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Cahokia, Indiana Territory to the Editor of the Kentucky Palladium, dated May 19.
"Captain Lewis will leave St. Louis to-morrow, to go and meet his boat which has been since the 17th inst. at St. Charles, and I presume will start the 20th for his expedition. His boat is capitally manned, as well with stout Americans, as hardy Canadians, and will no doubt winter a little below the Mandanes, which is reckoned near 800 leagues from the mouth of the Missouri."
Our correspondent also notices the deputation of the Osage Indians, mentioned in our last, which he says left St. Louis on 17th ult. for the Federal city.
Extract of a letter from capt. James Brucket, to the Editor of the Charleston City Gazette, dated Funchall, April 15.
"On the 19th of March, bound from Charleston to Madeira, in lat. 32, 30, long. 68, 20, I experienced a heavy gale of wind from the S. E. which lasted eight or ten hours, and shifted suddenly to the N. W. and continued a gale with the wind hauling to the eastward. On the night of the 20th, at 6 o'clock, while lying too, fell in with a wreck; the sea running very high it was with difficulty I cleared it; it proved to be a brig or schooner lying on her starboard side, swimming even with the surface; she had bright varnished sides, a black pitch bottom very clean; her sails were mostly furled; she had the appearance of being almost a new vessel. I saw no boat, nor could I read her name, although I passed within half pistolshot, it being entirely under water."
"I think she must have been upset on the night of the 19th, when the wind shifted; in that case, the unfortunate crew must have been all lost, as boats at that time could be of no use. Where the masts and spars were broke they appeared new, and she had every appearance of being upset within a very short time."
A London paper of the 24th of April, says, "we can, on the best authority, contradict the paragraph in a paper of yesterday, relative to two Frenchmen being apprehended by Townsend, for an attempt to assassinate his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. This report may have originated from the circumstance of two Frenchmen being now in custody on a charge which, we understand, had some reference to his Royal Highness, and on which several examinations have taken
place before Sir Richard Ford, at Mr. Secretary Yorke's Office."
PRIZE MEDALS.
New York, June 30.
The fourth meeting of the American Company of Booksellers was held in this city last week. We understand that several specimens of elegant printing were exhibited, in consequence of a resolution adopted by the company at their last meeting, offering prize medals for three samples—The works displayed, we hesitate not to say, would vie with the most celebrated London productions, and are a flattering demonstration of the rapid improvement in the art. The medals were adjudged as follows:
First medal to Robert Carr, of Philadelphia, on an octavo edition of the bible printed for Benjamin Johnston: Second medal to Hopkins and Seymour, of this city, on an edition of the Emperor Charles 5th: third medal to Isaac Collins and Son, on an edition of the French Reader.
At the same time several specimens of binding were presented, and the first medal adjudged to David Bliss, of this city.
MR. SNOWDEN. Looking lately over an old Magazine, I met with the following serious ode. The impressive train of thought which it contains appeared to me well suited to warn youth against the seductions of vice and dissipation, and I resolved to ask a place for it in your paper; your compliance with this request will oblige PHILANDER.
RETROSECTION.
WHEN I review my early days, And look far back to youthful prime, Alas! I cry, I've not been wise! I've hid instruction from mine eyes, And wasted half my time.
A thousand keen reflections fill The gloomy region of my breast; I see I've broken many a vow, I see I've liv'd—I know not how— And robb'd my soul of rest.
Alas! I see my mental pow'rs Were bent on trifles vain and light; I've not improv'd my shining hours, I've fool'd and toy'd till evening lours, And tells th' approach of night.
O could I once drive back the spheres, And those dear wasted hours recall: Methinks I'd form new hopes and fears, Wisdom should charm my growing years, And virtue guide them all.
But what avails a wish so vain? Or what relief can hence ensue? As soon shall time put back the sun As I recall the race I've run, Or what I've done ardo.
The laws of unrelenting fate Admit of life no second stage; The scythe of time (an awful truth!) Admits but one improv'd youth, And one declining age.
One comfort now alone remains, One hope alone through grace is giv'n; If yet some future life is lent, I may improve it to repent, And fit my soul for heav'n.
English Bulls.
IT has been, time out of mind, the habit of those who have more flippancy than sense, and more desire than power, to be witty, to make Irish bulls a part of the common place of their minds, and to attempt to be clever, not so much by striving to be wise themselves, as by showing others to be foolish. Edgeworth, in his pleasant philosophical Treatise on Bulls , has shown that those are a cattle not peculiar to Ireland, but scattered through Greece, Rome, and even to wise England itself. Indeed those who travel much will allow that they have found them everywhere.
An Irishman once arguing with a Scotchman about countries, insisted that they had no beef to eat North of the Tweed, and that the Scotch had no meat but tripe.— "What the decl mon," said Sawney, "Aw tripe and no beef? By Gud that's a bull!" "Not at all, replied Pat; it was only that I forgot to say, the tripe was all imported from Ireland." The company laughed and well they might. So may we at those of any country who say they are free from bulls; for how could there be calves' heads without calves? and how calves without bulls? The following article, however, taken from the London Courier , will show that bulls may be made by men not Irish. The editors of that paper being one an English, and the other a Scotchman, and in truth, very good ones too.
A wonderful escape from Death.
About eleven o'clock on last Tuesday night, as a young man named Clever, a painter at Rottingdean, was walking home from Brighton, where he had been holiday keeping, he missed the foot track, near Black Rock and unfortunately fell over the cliff, a perpendicular height of fifty four feet, and lay undiscovered on the beach, exposed to the clemency of the weather, until seven o'clock on Thursday morning, when he was found by the Reverend Mr. Woodward, and strange to tell alive, and without any broken bones, but with his eyes close, and insensible. He had in one hand a stone so hotly clenched, that it was with difficulty removed. Mr. Woodward procured assistance, and caused him to be conveyed back to Brighton, where he died a few days ago!!!
Yet this is surpassed by one of an old lady, who having long been chief obstetrician of a village near Litchfield, in England found her business vanish all at once, by the preference given to a young surgeon, who put up his name over his door, followed with the words man midwife , in large gilded letters. After some debate with her own sagacity, she concluded that the whole of the surprizing influence which the new comer had obtained over the flock, must be owing to the words man midwife ; so she resolved to meet the enemy with his own weapons, and very sagaciously put up a shew board, on which was inscribed, in still larger letters than his.
" MARY WHITE, man midwife! "

B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent. 
This lottery has been authorized by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
