Webave received on this subject, an essay which
from its extreme severity, we are not willing to
publish. We are at liberty however, to give such
parts as we please, and avail ourselves of il, by
giving the following summary The enormous sums
annually drawn from the State of Virginia without
equivalept--the spirit of excessive hazard and spe
cuation engendcred by lotteries--thc circumstance
that there is reciprocity in the regulations Of the
several states this subject, and that old Virginia
pays the piper for ALL require in our opinion the in
terpostion of the Legislature. If during the last
winter, we felt opposed TO bill this subject in
troduced into the General Assembly, it was not to
its policy, but to the means which were designated
to enforce 1t, outrageous and unconstitutional.
The author of the Essay comments with indjs-
nation on the injustice offorunc in distributing the
prizes of the last Lottery. He thinks this injustice
gross that Inc feels disposed ascribe it to- tn,
