/ We never knowingly misrepresent any circumstance
about which attempt to inform readers Our de-
sire is always to furnish them with correct and impartial
statements Of the circumstances of the day And when we
err, shall be truly grateful to those who set us right
Influenced by these considerations, cheerfly give
place TO the following communication
The writer correct in his opinion that we do not de-
sire magnify" the " natural advantages ofour Borough
by Misrepresentation calculated to dsparage the port
of New Castle Far from us be such baseness. We de-
sire and rejoice at the prosperity Of our neshbors
and especially if they be Delawarians.
Speaking of New Castle, we take the opportunity 10 re-
mark that feel quite proud and happy that the public
spirit of the citizens of that place has banshed nearly all
traces Of the desolang fire by which they visited in
the spring of 1824-by erecting on the ruins caused by
that event, of handsome brick buildings whose APP
pcarance highly credtable to the woIkmen and their
employers In other parts of the town ALSO have late
ly observed and elegant brick mansions, and
other improvements, which have added considerably to
the beauty of the place.

| MEssRs. ED1ToRs-In your notice of the abortve
laltempt of Governor Clinton and suite to reach the
mouth OF the Delaware and Chesapeake canal, on
Saturday last. there is an erroneous statement, to
which beg leave to call your attention.
| You state" they had not proceeded further than
Newcastle, when they were compelled by the vio-
Ience Of the storm to put back, not being able to
ret ecen TO the aoharf ct that place, much less TO
reach the mouth Of the canal"
So far from it being true that the Trenton " could
not get 10 The wharf at that place." she made a
harbnr at Newcastle without difficulty, and laid at
THE end Of the Union Line wharf, in perfect safety,
for nearly two hours.
| Wilmington has my best wishes for her prosper
ty but canno, consent and am you cannot
desre, to magnify her natural advantages by a
MISREPRESENTATION, calculated to disparage the port
| of NEWCAolLE.
Communications, relating to the management, or, as the
writers say, tic Encouragement of the last class OF St.
Peters Church LOTTERY, drawn IN this Borough on the LIST
of January last, have poured in upon us like hood, until
the ongerb resisted We are loath how
ever 10 believe do Of correspondents on this
subject that is the intention of the managers TO resist
he payment of the prizes and thus defaud those who
have drawn hem of what they are are justly entitled 10 "
We should be mortified, should be scrry to think that
the government of our State would appoint of this
description fill the stations which they occupy. We be-
eve that il must be owing TO some misunderstanding be-
tween the managers and not to any design not to pay the
prizes that they have not been paid They are men who
would not sell their reputation for the paly sum OF few
Thousand dollars and in admitting the following INTO our
columns deem proper to oer them the use OF the
Waterman as medium through which to make public
the .ry the prizes in question have not been paid
and their intentions the subject We really think that
those who have conded in the integrity of the managers

from them.
/ We understand that some people who held prize tick
cts in this Lottery, have sold them at discount
AS be hoped that the prizes in this lottery will be
paid long, would advise those who hold PRIZE tick
4 cts, to preserve them.

NTEssns. EpIToRs-The attention OF the public
has been drawn 10 the conduct of the Managers oil
the ST. Peters Church Lottery, several classes oil
i which have been drawn in this Borough. Ii the
reports in circulation concerning the manner in
which they have discharged the duties and obliga
tons imposed upon them are true, they are not on
calculated TO destroy all public confidence in the
t management OF lotteries, but to bring down the Sc
Fl veres reproaches upon the heads OF the individuals
concerned. II is said they have refused or eyadee
1.-THE payment of almost all the principal as well as
{ many OF the small prizes in their last class have
heard of Of the higher prizes in the last Glass
c being paid in FULL hut part OF one, and That upor
condtion OF the holder OF the prize ticket admitting
81 most unreasonable discount or taking goods iron
one Of the managers. Much also might be sale
concerning the fact of the managers or their agents
Having twice divided and sold the same tickets, one
lof which unfortunately drew one OF the prlncipa
lprzes, which led to the discovery OF the fact Mucf
. also might be said concerning other alleged unfa
e dealing of the managers, not only in the manage
ent OF the lottery but also IN relation to the trus
,tees of the church, but let the above suffice for thu
e sent-and shall conclude by observing that Thu
= individuals who have drawn prizes in this lottery
are as fairly entitled to their money they wouls
be to any other debt and it is their determination
e to hold the managers responsible, by an appeal to tn
r,llaws Of their Country. JUSTICE.
