TO THE EDITOR OF THE STIR:

Stn,.•-in the first attack which the Editor Or the
.hero made upon State Lotteries. (on his comment
litton tho,Budget) lie designated them as an ;Milos:
tion ti forroded hi fraud, suppo'rted by dishonesty.
..e and the fertile and necessary parent of crimes," and
without condescending to support his assertions by
argument or deduction, he seemed to take it for
granted, (either from ignorance or from arrogance)
that the Public would give credit to those assertions,
from the mere circumstance of their appearing in the
columns of his paper. The unqualified and unwar►
rantahle language he then made use of necessarily
inferred, or it Wetted nothing, that the Govern-
ment, and the Lottery Contractors, were reciprocally
connected for the purpose of theating-the Public, in
order that the profits of their fellow roguery might
redound to their mutual advantage. This meinieg,
as every fairly thinking man must see, is the only
one that can be given to the above words ; but the
-Editor of the limes thought proper, in his paper of
-last Saturday, to follow up and explain his assertions
by a sort of commentary, which commentary is a
complete allowance and corroboration of the mean-
ing which I have.given to those assertions. He tells
tits that no other game of chance is so completely
fraudulent, and that, if any public gambler attempted
to carry on any scheme, equally fraudulent, be would
be hooted out, of the Most desperate and dissolute,
soeiity in this metropolis; and then, under the shield
of an assumed position. 'further says, that all pub-
fishers of vihat are called Lottery Puffs. ought to be
4 sentenced to Brideweli. In his commentary on the
assertion. that Lotteries area supported by dish°-
. testy," he goes as it were to the right about, and
even covertly labours to do away the imputation ut
'dishonesty, which the first part of his dictum had
thrown aeon the Contractors and Venders of Lotte-
ries, and fixes all the blame of dishonesty in their
support, their' foundation being already diszussed)
upon the unfortunate and rascally purchasers !—he
tells us, that the shoproan roes his till, (though it is
not quite clear how a man can be said to rob his own
property) and the apprentice defraud's his master, to
buy a ticket or share in the Lottery, and that if none
but persor.s oh strict honour were to lay out their
money in that way, the offices would be soon shut up,
and Lowly bills would cease to disgrace tho statute
book." Now, Sir, you will see by this, that the sa-
gacious Gentleman attempts no argument, and sup-
ports his 'asses ti.sns by no proof whatever, that his
positions stand perfectly insulated of any attempt at
discussion ; and that they are the results of that ex-
unite vanity which supposes all the. world equally
predisposed to think as highly of our Wends as we
thick of them ourselves. la short, Sir, having, as
be thinks, disposed of the origin and process of Lot-
teries, or, if I may so say, of- their parents and fos-
terers, he proceeds to develope their pro-eny, and
these, he say's, are vice and crime, though all the
resuscitatory powers of his infuriated and bombastic
declamation will never succeed in giving exigence to
the still born rice and crime which Lotteries now-a-
days produce; and at most, he will only succeed in
raising their ghosts. He says, Lotteries call on the
young and thoughtless, not to depend on honest
labour, but to indulge in the golden dreams of sud-
den and unmerited fortune; that they stifle habits of_
industry in their birth, and laugh to scorn prudence,
Ind submission to the will of Providence." The
young and thoughtless will alwaysindulge In dreams ,
of future good fortune, whether. Lotteries shall exist
or on, and whether their expectations of prosperity
-Ise. realised or not; is of very little consequence to the
morals of the country ; in tact, the contrary-doctrine
reminds os of the old song. it Lanus all be unhappy
together," whether the good fortune *of many suc-
cessful adventurers in the Lottery be merited or not,
1 presume not to know, not having sufficient discern.
anent to discriminate, nor sufficient assurance to de.
gide epon. The prate of the next assertion carries
absurdity, still further, viz.—That Lotteries render
men discontented Avid) that state of life to which it
has pleased GOD to call them ; so that, because a
Oran purchasers share of a Lottery Ticket, he is to
be .:used of provoking the anger of Divine Provi-
dence, and of calling in question the justice of its
decrees ; and the Government which disposes of, and
the Contractor who bargains for, and the retail ven-
der, and the purchaser of a State Lottery Ticket or
Share, are thus to be held up to public infamy, con.
tempt, and detestation, because their sentiments and
their consciences are composed of different materials
from those of the asserter of these groundless and un-
tenable positions. The same gentleman, in his great
seal to contribute to public information, puts us in
possession of a very valuable piece of information, of
which we were not before aware, viz-,.-When Lot-
teries are concerned, fraud and filly pass unsuspected
in cloak of patriotism ; now by this, I understand
the w iter to mean, either that the venders of Lot-
tery Tickets, _or the purchasers of them, assume to
themselves aportion of patriotism in every share that
is sold and bought ; and that they endeavour to de-
ceive each other into a belief, that mere disinterested
love of country is the Mourn mobile of their contract.
—But, Sir, did the most extravagant puff that
ever attempted to increase the sale of a .Lottery, ever
contain such an insinuation ? or, did the greatest hy-
pocrite in moralsever attempt such an expedient to
• excuse his adventuring ? Did any' man of common
stmase ever suppose his friend had purchased a share to
evince his patriotism f Did any man of most delicate
feelings and greatest ingenuity at excuses, ever apply
the balsam of patriotism to heal a conscience seared
by the sight of a Lottery Ticket ? or did the public
ever suppose that public spirit was all that influenced
the keepers of Lottery Offices ? Lord .North, whose
reputation for the management of finance, was uni-
versally and meritoriously high, was a warm advo-
cate tor the existence of Lotteries, when pruned of
their excrescences; those excrescences exist no longer,
and even if instances of misery which have arisen from,
adventuring in Lotteries could be produced, who will
say that the minds and intellects of the sufferers
-seem not of that class, whose misfortunes their own
-imprudence would have inevitably produced. if no
Lotteries bad been in existence/ The prance that
morals are in dangett -is the specious pretence of by.
pnctites, to enhance emir own worth ; and, in return
tor the 'Wet:nation which we have bad fain the
Taw, I gill put its Proprietor in possession of an
inditipotable fact, Via. if Frond and folly, pass
diAusrecurd in the cloak of morality? The Lem-

Alt Vtietebdels stigmatized al being tele' fall #lllll
other gums, and carrying fraud on the vett t if
them ;' bat bow does this appear ? they hold out lit
view no fact that does not exist ; they assert the
,bability or the possibility of no contingency that may,
pot happen. It is true that, no game of chance Is fair,
but *here the chances are equal, and that the fact of
the effice-keeper deriving a profit from the sale of a
ticket or share, evinces his duplicity ; it might be as
well contended, that every purchaser of an article of
life is cheated, when he gives more to the retailer of
it than such retailer gave to the wholesale dater. In
no species of gambling, where the expenses of main-
taining the gambling establishment, tall exclusively
on one party, are the chances equal, or are they so
held out to be. The Lotteries are not attended whh!
the consequences that result from private Rambling I ;
the fortune of the adventurer is so slowly decided,'
,that his reason is never overturned by that short but
continued and rapid torrent of success which renders
even the strong minded man extravagantly profuse-
and lavish of the sums he ventures neither; on d.e
contrary, is he by a continued and quick succession'
of ill'fortune, ever driven to desperation, or induced.
to forfeit his reputation, and risk his last shilling.—
These are the evils ot gambling, and where these do
not exist, (and I affirm they do not exist in. adven-
tering in the State Lotteries) no more blame, and no
more stain, can be attached to the character of the
man who adventures his property in thus courting the
smiles of lortOnes than to the character of the mer-
chant. the manufacturer, or the trader. who invests
his property in a fluttuating concerne and risks bia
capital on the profits of mercantile speculations. It
is ante, however, to have done, with such miserable
sophistry, and I shall only observe, that the Editor of
the Times, after telling us that Mn Pitt doubted of the
tendency of Lotteries in 1786, (when evils arising from
them were in existence) professes With his usual flip-
pancy, in the year 1816,, (when a few- or ,no evils
arising from them do exist) that he entertains no doubt
whatever of their immoral, pernicious, and horrible
tendency, and concludes his animadversions with
the old dove tailed question arid answer examination
of the late Mr. Whitbread. the truth of the evidence
of which Ido nr distinctly deny.
To conclude —it may be safely affirmed, that one
halt of those who cry out against Lotteries, are not ac-
quainted with their nature, and is deceived asao their
effects ; and that the other half is interested ; many
of that other half, very nearly interested indeed in
their suppression. and without meaning to impute
imprnper motives for the conduct of any man, I af.
firm it to be a tact, 44 that a member of the House of
Columons, who has stood forward amongst the oppo-
nents of State Lotteries, is himself the patron and
trustee of a Private Lottery, to the Tickets of which
his name is signed, and which Tickets will be in cif%
column in a few days; and, persons conversant in
mercantiie transactions,well know that many houses are
now in possession of Foreign Lottery Tickets, anxious
for their circulation and disposal of in this country,
which would be the immediate result df the suppres-
sion of this branch of the finance.—Your's,
