ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS
REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th
of October last, a negro man slave named
BOB,
about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high
straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath
an impediment in his speech which prevents his
readily replying to a question. He commonly
wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of
good cloathing, a description of which is unnes-
sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He
has been frequently seen about town since he ab-
sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by
his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave
of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now
said to be free. The above reward will be paid
for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and
a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis-
covery of those who have been accessory to his
concealment.
Captain's of vessels, &c. are forwarded at
their peril, not to take him away.

CONGRESS
OF THE
UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday Dec. 8.
Debate on the Amendment to the Constitution.
(Continued.)
Mr. G. W. Campbell. When this resolution came from the Senate to this house, it was not my intention to have spoken on the subject. I had determined to vote in favor of it, and let the measure itself justify my conduct in so doing. But so much has been said, on this floor, with regard to the interests of small and large states, and the effect which it is insisted this resolution will have on the rights of the former, that I conceive it my duty, having the honor to represent, (in part) one of those small states, to state some of the reasons that induce me to vote for the resolution, and to be of opinion, that its adoption will not, in the manner contended for, infringe the rights of the small states, or diminish their relative weight in the general government. I am, sir, of opinion, that our government was formed by the people of the United States, in their capacity as such, by their immediate representatives in the general convention in their state capacities. The words of the constitution are "we the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, &c." and not we the United States in our state capacity, which I presume would have been the language used, had the framers of the constitution intended to have formed a government for the states united in their state capacities—and though the state interests as such are regarded in our government, and their sovereignties represented, whereby it may be considered as partaking in some degree of the federative principle, yet this will not prove our constitution to be a confederation of states, in the extent contended for in their state capacities; but only shows that the framers of the constitution intended by thus regarding the state rights and sovereignties as such to qualify and limit the operations of the general government, with regard to the several state governments, and their respective interests and rights. The laws that are made by the general government are binding on the people of the United States at large and not on the state governments; for though the state governments are limited by, and bound not to violate the constitution of the United States, yet they certainly cannot be controuled, or in any manner bound by the legislative acts of the government. This I conceive shews, in a very strong manner, that the union is not a mere confederation of states. And considering the subject in this view, will not tend to produce a consolidation of the general government being felt by the people, only in their individual capacities, the state governments will not be affected thereby so as to infringe their powers, or endanger their independence; provided the general government in exercising its legislative powers, keep within those bounds prescribed to it by the constitution; and does not assume the right of legislating on subjects that properly belong to, and recognizable by the respective state governments—I will here observe that the object of every free government, is to lay down a rule of conduct for the people who live under it, by the observance of which, their general welfare and happiness may be promoted. Whenever, therefore, the intentions of the people in framing their government, can be ascertained, I conceive it the duty of those who administer the government, to pursue those intentions as nearly as possible. I have always considered it to be the intentions of the framers, of the constitution, and the true spirit of that instrument, that the chief magistrate shall be chosen by the people, through their electors, and not by the states represented in this house, and that the provision for electing the president, by the house of representatives, in case no election should be made by the electors, was intended to guard against an event that might happen which if unprovided for, would stop the operations of government; and not as a mode of election that was desired by any portion of the union, or contemplated to be introduced, when it could be avoided. I conceive, therefore, such measures ought to be adopted as would prevent as much as possible the necessity of resorting to that mode of election. It is certainly of primary importance that the people should have that person to govern them, that possesses their confidence in the highest degree. In him they will repose the protection of their rights and the security of their interests;
and will acquiesce with the greater readiness in the just measures he may pursue. It will, I presume, be admitted, that in all free governments, the will of the majority must be considered, for the purposes of government as the will of the nation, and that it ought, therefore, to prevail, and controul the will of the minority, when opposed to it. This I conceive, sir, is a fundamental principle in our government. I am therefore of opinion, that whatever part of our constitution is found in its operations to contravene this principle, ought to be altered, and so modified that the will of the majority of the people should be pursued. This I conceive, sir, is the case, with that part of the constitution prescribing the mode of electing the President and Vice-President now proposed to be amended; it puts it in the power of the minority to controul the will of the majority, and elevate a man to the Presidential Chair, who did not receive a vote from the majority for that office. According to the present provision of the constitution, two persons are voted for by the electors for President and Vice President, without designating which of them is voted for as President and which as Vice President. Suppose the majority nominate two candidates the one intended for President and the other for Vice President, and vote for them accordingly. It is well known that the electors, who are presumed to express the will of the people, have in view, at the time they vote, which of those persons they intend shall be President, and which Vice President, though they are not permitted so to designate them in voting. In this case the minority, by voting for the person intended by the majority to be the Vice President, and not voting for the person by them intended to be President, will contravene the intentions of the majority, and place in the Presidential Chair, a person not designed by the majority or by one of them for that office, nor in most cases agreeable to the minority, but preferred by them in consequence of not possessing, in so high a degree the confidence of the majority, as the person by them intended for President, and therefore most likely to favor the measures of the majority. And the person thus elected would, in all probability, become suspected by both parties, and possess the confidence of neither. Hence a very serious inconvenience would arise, the majority, being disappointed, would become dissatisfied, and the minority would not have the man of their choice; but one from whom they expect some favor, in consequence of having contributed to his elevation; and it is confidently believed, the peace of the nation would in such a case be more endangered, than if a person decidedly the choice of the minority, as President, had been elected to that office. To avoid these and many other inconveniences likely to arise from the present mode of electing the chief magistrate of the nation, I am decidedly of opinion, that the electors ought to designate by name the person they vote for as President, and the person they vote for as Vice President. By this mode a fair and unequivocal expression of the public will may be obtained, and will have its due weight—the man declared best qualified by the general voice of the nation, to direct the government, will by that voice be placed in the presidential chair—he will be more likely than any other to give general satisfaction in conducting the affairs of state; and this will very much contribute to promote the general welfare and happiness of the people.
I will notice another reason here, which I have not heard mentioned, that in my view has considerable weight in proving the expediency of adopting the designating principle. I am of opinion, the election of the chief magistrate of a nation ought not to be left in such uncertainty, that it would depend on a mere casualty or chance, who should be the person chosen to that office. This is the case, according to the present constitutional provision for electing the President. A difference of opinion among the majority, with regard to the person who shall be Vice President, or a greater unanimity in their choice of a person as Vice President, than in that of President, may contrary to the design of the electors, by giving the person designated as Vice President the greatest number of electoral votes (though all were given with the view of making him Vice President only) operate to the exclusion from the chair of state, of the person intended by the majority, (and also of the person wished for by the minority) to fill that place, and elevate to the first magistracy a man who did not receive one electoral vote from either party with the design of putting in his hands the reins of government. This I conceive, sir, is contrary to the representative principle in government, which I understand to be, that the sense of the nation should be made known, by a fair, and unequivocal expression of the public will, and when thus made known should govern. But it has been said that the minority ought to have some share in the government, and have a chance of obtaining the man of their choice to fill the second office in government if they should not expect to succeed in electing him to the first, or at least, that they should have an opportunity of voting for that person as chief magistrate, that might be their
choice of the two persons nominated by the majority, to fill the office of president & vice president; & it is stated that the present mode of voting for those officers, without designation, is calculated to answer these purposes.
I am, sir, of opinion the voice of the minority should be expressed, and fairly heard in government, and that it should have its due weight consistent with the principles on which the government is founded; but I am not willing that the minority should rule the nation, or have it in their power to defeat the will of the majority, as I conceive this would be the very foundation of our government; and the present mode of electing the President and Vice President, without designation, cannot strengthen the minority or give them a share in the administration of government, in any other way than by enabling them to contravene the will of the majority. They have not thereby a fairer prospect of obtaining the person of their choice to fill the second office in our government, than they have to fill the first—to succeed in their choice as to either, they must, probably vote for those nominated by the majority—and the ultimate consequence is that if they succeed, the majority must yield to their wishes, therefore according to the present mode of election, the major part of society have only the power of nominating, and it will in most cases, left with the minority part to make the election from such nomination. This I conceive, sir, does not accord with the general sense of the American nation in theory, and will not operate more to the general satisfaction in practice. But it is insisted the proposed amendment is calculated to infringe the rights of the small states—that they have certain advantages secured to them by the present provision of the constitution, directing the electors of President and Vice President to vote for two persons without designation—and in requiring the votes in the House of Representatives, for President, to be given by states, in case the event should bring the election into that House, and also, in that the President is to be chosen in such event from the five highest on the list of those voted for.
These provisions are said to constitute a part of the original compact between the states, and it is insisted, that although this amendment preserves the right of voting by states in this House, yet it diminishes the chances of the election coming into this House, and changes the number of persons from whom the President is to be chosen in such an event, from the five highest on the list, to the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, and thereby, it is pretended to effect the interests of the small states, as they will not so frequently have the opportunity of exercising the power of voting for President by states, if this amendment be adopted, as they otherwise would have had; and also in that they will be more limited in the number from whom the choice is to be made. These are the only arguments I have heard advanced on this part of the subject by the opposite side of the House, that appear to me to possess sufficient plausibility to merit an examination, and these it is confidently believed, upon a fair investigation, will not support the objections made to this amendment, on the ground of its affecting the interests of the small states.
It is certainly true, that our constitution in some of its features, partakes of the nature of a compact bottomed on a compromise of powers and rights, between the small and large states; and this compromise will be found to be confined chiefly, to the share which the several states have in the national legislature, and the consequent effect, which that modification produces with regard to the number of electors of President and Vice President to which each state is entitled, according to the provision of the constitution; but it will not follow, as a necessary consequence that the right of voting by states in this House for President, (in the event of the choice being left to the House) was considered as an advantage granted to the small states in order to induce them to come into the union.
(Mr. G. W. Campbell's Speech to be continued.)
NEW-YORK, March 5.
Arrived yesterday, the brig Ann, Fairchild, in 30 days from Aux Cayes. Left the brig Oct. 10th, Dawson, of Baltimore, to sail in 5 or 6 days; the sch'r Louisa, to sail about the same time for Baltimore; Messrs Eliza, Briggs, of N. London, to sail in 5 or 6 days; sch'r Citizen Young, of N. York, in 2 new days; sch'r Eagle, Fowler, of New York, to sail in 15 or 20 days. The ship Thomas, Wilson, of Philadelphia, in ballast, from St. Croix, to New Orleans, is totally lost on Poole's Reef at the entrance of Aux Cayes harbor. She belonged to William Cox, of Philadelphia; crew saved and the mate and a passenger arrived here in the brig Ann. The supercargo of the sch'r Citizen, (Mr. Lyle) from St. Jago de Cuba, informed capt. Fairchild, that a number of American vessels were brought in there by the French from different ports in Hispaniola; and that two masters and two supercargoes had, it was reported, been murdered and thrown overboard; he could not assert this as a fact. The Citizen was in St. Jago 5 days. The sch'r George, Bowers, of Somerset, and the sch'r Resolution, Justice, of Bridgeport, were both captured off the Isle of Alb, and their crews put in a boat, and cast adrift, but arrived, after being at sea two days, at Aux Cayes. Two seamen, one from each of the above sch'rs arrived here in the Ann. Capt. Fairchild spoke, Feb. 28, in lat. 28, 12, long.

30 days from Jamaica bound to Philadelphia; the master of her informed that there had been 20 or 30 American vessels brought there from the different ports of Hispaniola.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, MARCH 10. IMPEACHMENT.
On Wednesday a message was communicated to the House of Representatives, stating that the Court of Impeachments would be ready to proceed to the trial of the articles of impeachment against John Pickering at 12 o'clock that day.*
A motion was made about that hour in the House, leading to an adjournment, which was superseded by the statement of Mr. Nicholson, that the Managers had intimated to the Senate, that as the House of Representatives were engaged in committee of the whole, the Managers could not attend the court that day; whereupon the court adjourned to the next day.
Yesterday at 12 o'clock, the court was again opened, when the managers repaired to the Senate chamber.
Mr. Early, one of the managers, opened the trial; and after a few preliminary marks, proceeded to support the facts set forth in the articles of impeachment by various depositions in writing, and witnesses orally examined; after making some progress in the testimony, Mr. Nicholson relieved Mr. Early, when about 3 o'clock Mr. Nicholson informed the court that the managers had closed the testimony on behalf of the House of Representatives; whereupon the court adjourned till this day (Friday) at 12 o'clock.
(Nat. Int.)
* The reader will recollect that on Tuesday the court, after hearing Mr. Harper in support of the petition of J. S. Pickering, adjourned to the next day. We understand previous to the above decision to proceed to the trial of the articles of impeachment, a diversity of opinion subsisted as to the mode of procedure. The general opinion out of doors was, that after agreeing to hear Mr. Harper, in support of the petition of Jacob S. Pickering, the court would before they proceeded to try the articles of impeachment, in the first instance decide on the petition, viz. whether they would postpone the trial on the ground of the alleged insanity of Judge Pickering. No decision, however, we learn, has been made on the prayer of the petition. The only decision entered into was that they would proceed to the trial—This decision was made by a considerable majority ascertained by Yeas and Nays.

Mr. Nicholson, from the Managers appointed to support the articles of impeachment against John Pickering made the following report: "That on Friday, the second of March, the Managers, agreeably to the directions of the House, appeared at the bar of the Senate, to support the said articles of impeachment, when John Pickering was three times solemnly called, but did not answer, or appear either in person or by counsel. The President of the Senate then stated, that he had received a letter, signed R. G. Harper, accompanying a petition signed Jacob S. Pickering, who called himself the son of the party charged. The petition being read, it was found to contain a statement of a variety of matter, particularly the insanity of Judge Pickering, upon which the prayer of the petition was founded for a postponement of the trial to some future day. Mr. Harper was called to the bar of the Senate; he entered, and stated that he wished it to be distinctly understood, that he did not appear at the bar of the Senate, as counsel for John Pickering, from whom he had received no authority for that purpose; but that his object was to support the facts contained in the petition of Jacob S. Pickering, the prayer thereof."
"There was a short pause—when Mr. Harper rose again, and enquired, whether his appearance in support of the petition would be considered as the appearance of John Pickering, by counsel: The President of the Senate answered, he presumed, that Mr. Harper's appearance would not be considered as the appearance of John Pickering, by counsel."
"The Managers, under these circumstances, felt themselves bound to object to Mr. Harper's being heard in any other capacity than as a counsel for the party who was impeached; and briefly stated their reasons for the objection."
"The Senate withdrew to a private chamber where it is presumed the question was debated—The Managers again appeared at the bar of the
Senate this day, and was informed by the president, that it had been resolved to hear Mr. Harper in support of the allegations contained in the petition of Jacob S. Pickering, and the prayer thereof. The Managers enquired at what point of time it was intended that Mr. Harper should be heard, and whether this was a measure preliminary to the trial. The president of the Senate declared that he could not undertake to explain the resolutions of the Senate; but that their sense must be collected from the resolutions themselves. The Managers then offered themselves ready for trial, declaring that they were prepared to open the prosecution on behalf of the house of Representatives;—and that the witnesses were ready to prove the facts charged in the articles of impeachment. Upon this offer being made, the President of the Senate stated he considered it to be the sense of the Senate, that Mr. Harper was to be heard before the trial commenced."
"The Managers considered this as an irregular step, and not believing that they ought to discuss any petition presented to the Senate from a person who was not a party to the impeachment, and this, too, before the party charged, although duly notified, had appeared, either in person, or by attorney, withdrew from the Senate chamber: They will not feel themselves either bound or authorised to appear again, until the Senate shall inform them, that they are prepared to proceed in the trial, unless specially directed by this house."
Massacres, at Aux-Cayes—From the New-York Gazette of the 5th inst.
Captain Fairchild, who arrived here yesterday from Aux-Cayes, gives us a most distressing account of the situation of that place. He informs that the most horrid massacres were going on at Aux-Cayes; a few nights before he sailed, most of the whites of that place were put to death.—Mr. McIntosh, a citizen of the United States, Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Carter, merchants of that place, who do business for Americans at Aux-Cayes, and two or three others, fortunately escaped, they having thrown themselves under the protection of the commander in chief Cauchois. Captain Fairchild brought out five French passengers, whom he picked up at sea between three and four leagues from land, and who made their escape from Aux-Cayes in an open boat during the massacre at that place. A stagnation of business took place immediately after the commencement of the massacre.
Captain Fairchild further informs, that the magazine at Port-Republican was said to have been blown up, and that a great number of people were destroyed in the explosion—and it was said that the blacks suspected the whites to have been the instigators of it. Shortly after this event, all the whites, except six, and all but three or four at the Cape, were massacred.
From Mr. Gallatin's report to Congress, the 25th January, 1804, it appears that the domestic articles of export from the United States for one year, ending the 30th September, 1803, amount to Dollars 42,205,961
Exports of Virginia 7,229,967 { Equal to 1-6 of the U. S. Do. of Richmond 4,125,000 { Equal to 4-7ths of Virginia.
or 1-10th part of the whole exports of the United States, and exceeding the total exports of the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland individually, viz: Pennsylvania, Dolls. 4,021,214 Maryland, 3,838,396 Quere. If Richmond exports without bank accommodation, 4-7ths of Virginia, and 1-10th of the United States. What extent may reasonably be calculated upon with an additional capital of 4,000,000 dollars from the bank of Virginia.
Captain Williams who arrived at Salem on Wednesday the 22d ult. from Mogadore, has been one of the principal sufferers in consequence of the late temporary hostility between the emperor of Morocco and the United States. On the 5th September an order was received at Mogadore to detain his vessel and imprison him; which was immediately executed, and captain W. remained in prison 43 days when he was set at liberty, and his vessel and cargo restored, in consequence of the vigorous conduct of commodore Preamble; of whose resolute proceeding in the disposition of his squadron, and in his negotiation with the emperor he has given a succinct & clear account, according in substance with the official account already published.

A HINT FOR A RICH MAN (FROM PLUTARCH)
"What shall I do because I have no room wherewith to bestow my fruits?"—St. Luke, chap. xii, ver. 17.
What do! Why, if thy barns are grown too small, Save the expence of building more, And lodge the surplus of thy store Within the hovels of the poor; Make widows' hands thy treasury, Let Orphans' mouths thy coffers be, And in a little while thou'lt see Large interest in thy purse with principal and all.
AN ODD FELLOW.
The man whose mind is inundated with ideas, with good sense and nonsense, business and pleasure; who is always about something, and yet doing nothing; always going out and yet might as well stay at home; who is always in the wrong place, and always just too late:—Such a one was Dick Scamper. Dick was one of the most pleasant fellows living, full of wit and anecdote; but he was a performer on the stage of the world who never attended rehearsals, and was never perfect in his part; his vices were the mere effect of chance, and his virtues the impulse of the moment. Dick had not any one established principle but good humor; and with the help of that he got out of his scrapes, or did not care a fig about them. Dick was always in haste when there was no necessity for it, and obstinately deliberate when promptitude was required; he was constantly remembering that he had forgot; innumerable were the difficulties he created for himself, and the mistakes he made every day, from forgetfulness. Dick has an appointment in the city; goes to the Jerusalem Coffee House to meet a gentleman who was to be at Lloyd's; finds an apology, with an appointment to meet the next day at the Jerusalem, and attends very punctually at Lloyd's. Dick orders his man to be with his horse at Mile End Turnpike exactly at four o'clock: quite forgets it, takes the stage, discovers his mistake just as he gets a mile beyond Stratford, stops the stage, gets out, and walks all the way to town, finds his man waiting in the cell with his horse, mounts it, and rides home as if nothing had happened. Thieves are heard in his house; he gets up, and dresses himself completely in his shooting jacket, and very leisurely walks down with his double barreled gun to shoot them, just as they made off with whatever of his property they could lay their hands on. Dick is in dreadful anxiety to make up a large bill which he expects to come due the next day; runs all over the city; with great difficulty raises the amount—is quite delighted; finds it is not presented, wonders very much, runs away to the indorser's and to the broker's, finds to his astonishment that it has a month longer to run—is heartily vexed at being so lucky. Dick is told that there is some news; is frantic to hear it; puts on his servant's laced cook'd hat by mistake instead of his own, and falls down the street; boys take him for the beadle of the parish and run away from their marbles; takes no notice of them, walks into a Coffee House and sits down; is reproved by the waiter, who tells him it is not decent for livery servants to sit down among gentlemen; stares with astonishment, begins wondering, has a mind to be in a passion, pulls off his hat to wipe his face, finds it laced, sneaks away, and sets off as hard as he can; falls in with the boys again, who run before him all the way he goes.
Dick has to set out on a journey to Northampton; goes to the coach office, and is very particular in taking a place for the Southampton Diligence; travels all night, and sleeps all the way; arrives the next morning, desires to be set down at the Dolphin Inn; coachman don't seem to comprehend him—quite impatient, repeats the name of the Inn in a passion: "there's no such house in town, Sir." "No such an Inn as the Dolphin at Northampton; d—n, what d'ye mean!" Northampton! lord, Sir, you're at Southampton—"the devil I am!" Hostler laughs ready to split his sides; passengers laugh, every body laughs, except Dick, who looks serious for a minute, and then gets into a post chaise for London. Dick loses his pocket book with several bank notes; runs about to all the bill printers, bill slickers, newspapers offices and criers in town; don't hear any thing of it for a week; a fine day, puts on his green coat, puts his hand into his pocket, discovers his pocket book: "Well, who would have tho't it!" Runs immediately with an advertisement for all the papers, stating that the public need not give themselves any more trouble about his pocket book, as it is found; don't know what to do with the money he had offered for a reward; gives it to an old maim'd sailor. Dick stops one day to read at a book stall, is very much pleased with an odd volume; an old friend passing by, Dick claps the book in his pocket, and runs after him, while he himself is run after by the bookseller, who calls "stop thief!" A mob is presently collected, and poor Dick, in spite of his protestations, hurried away to Bow Street; meets in his way another friend, a man of high rank, catches hold of him by the coat—"My dear Lord! if ever I had occasion for a great man, it is now; do you know I am taken up for stealing an odd volume of Peregrine Pickle, though you know I have a set of the best edition at home!" The nobleman, who happened to know the eccentricities of his friend, and the harmlessness of his character, accompanies him
to the office, and speaks in his favor to the magistrates, who ask his name. The fact however is proved, and the book produced, and handed to the justice, who very gravely admonishes him for his fault, and enquires how he could have the audacity to write his name on the title page—Dick is still more amazed, asks to look at it, finds his own crest inside the cover, and the book to be one of his lady's abuses the bookseller, who now runs off in his turn, leaving Dick in quiet possession of his odd volume of Peregrine Pickle; Dick laughs, puts the book in his pocket, and is very glad to come off so well.

ELEGANT EDITION
The HOLY BIBLE.
PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription, (in four handsome octavo volumes)
THE HOLY BIBLE,
CONTAINING
The Old and New Testaments.
CONDITIONS.
It shall be printed on a superior wove paper, with an elegant new type.
The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars per vol. in boards, or Two Dollars and Fifty Cents , handsomely bound and lettered.
To those who subscribe for several copies, a discount will be made, proportioned to the number subscribed for.
THE advantage of having this invaluable Book printed on a large type, and at the same time, in portable and convenient volumes, appears so evident, that the encouragement necessary to warrant an undertaking of such magnitude, is confidently expected; a portable volume would often be taken up, in a moment of leisure, when the size of a large, unwieldy folio, would operate as an apology for leaving it unopened; in this way, small portions of time would be profitably employed, which might otherwise be totally lost. In large families a Bible in volumes, affording an opportunity for several to read at once, may sometimes be peculiarly convenient: it seems superfluous to add much on this subject—suffice it to say, that no reasonable expense or pains shall be spared, to render this edition of the Holy Scriptures both correct and elegant.
The above work is in press, and will be finished about the end of the present year.
Subscriptions received by R. and J. Gray, King Street, where a specimen of the paper and printing may be seen.

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 500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. The subscribers of the first responsibility have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to all 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 of 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.
