|'THE FIRST drawing of this Lottery agreea-

i. Tue proprietor npfering this Lottery to
| the public, felt great doubts as to the sue
cess that might arrehd it, owing to the differ
ence that existed between this, and the sys-
| tenn Of Lottery generally pursued in this
Country; but the event thus far has proved
that his fears were groundless, and that the
good sense of the people will always predo-
inmate over prejudice, which has been fully
evmced by the demand for tickets for the
first, drawing. The very laudable purpose
| to. which the funds arising from this Lottery
are to be applied, affords the most pleasing
| presages of the liberal support of the friends
of William & Mary College, particularly
when snperadded thereto, is the advantage
| resulting to adventurers, of risking but a
small sum, for the chance of obtaining ca
pital prize.

Mr.. Smiths Address
TO THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. Smith, in his yindication, involves many
serious questions as to Mr.. Madison, touch
ing his official conduct, highly tlerogatory of
President Of the Y. States But we pre-
sumo Mr.. Smith will have to produce some
thing more weighty than his cwn bare state
ment, to shake the confidence of the Ameri-
can people in the iniiexibie integrity and
known ability of Mr.. Madison as a statesman
and patriot. 1t won't do Mr.. smith we are
not yet disposed to believe Mr. Madison Ell

1t is highly pleasing to the rejecting mind
to view the progress Of arts and manufac-
tue Y the western country. IL is but little
more than eighteen years past, since all kind
of roa ware had to be transported over the
mountains with difficulty, on horse back; al
so glass, paper, leather, and many other
articles ofless consequence--articles which
are row manufactured here in great album
dance.
These reflections were occasioncd by be-
ing informed of a recent establishment of a
steel factory at Brownsville, which from many
very corroborating circumstances and testi-
monies Of competent judges, bids fair for be-
ing very valuable acquisition to the west
ern states. 1t IS sufficiently demonstrated
to be equal to English blister or Crowley
sxeel.

which bear the finest wool travel from one

wintered IN the south, and in summer craze
ON the northern mountains. Sheep, saws the
President of the Board Of Agriculture in Eng
