happy should we feel, could our :eeble effort, in any
degree. second the exertions made to keep the Govern-
ment free from t-.e repmach, and tiro people from the
misery, that cannot fail to ensue from, its adoption.
Probably it may prove some antidote to the evil to pro-
mulgate, for tile information of those who have not
made a calcuhtion of the chances, that it will be found
that the smallest prises are only 1 to 5 against a blank,
and the higher, one against 2000. With this impor-
tant truth before their eyes, we should hope the most
infatuated would pause before they risked their pro-
perty..- It will certainly prove an amusing paradox in
the history of the present administration, that the very
sante•men who have evinced so paternal an anxiety for
the morels of the people, who have been the patrons of
institutions for the inculcation of religious and moral
instruction, should be those who-patronise the most de-
moralising system that can disgrace a civilized nation !
