"This gentleman has distinguished himself by some

early period of life; and therefore does not claim for
his performance that maturity Of execution, which
deliberate exercise of his powers would undoubt
eddy confer. He is impelled by an ardour of enthus
asn, natural at his age, which every liberal mind will
| cherish and commend. After doing much well,
in short time and under HE pressure ofother Pur-
suits, it would be unjust to require perfection We
warmly recommend his work to the perusa and patron.

Their reasons for this short posponement than con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howev-
err beg leg leave to add that when this class was is
sued few persons, if any, anticipated in the least the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
lived every kind of business and has caused such SIM
gular and unprecedented stagnation in trade. The
distress of capitalists and moned institutions has not
been confined to any single state IN our confederacy,
but it has been severely felt from extremity OF the
country to the other and has been general in several OF
the oldest and wealthest foreign countries. And
will not be considered matter of surprise, that the
same which have induced recently the post
ponement ofthe drawing of an important lottery, should
have similar effect on ofmuch greater magnitude.
But is hoped, that happy change for these everses
has already commenced, and that all classes OF our citl-
zens in every part of the Union will soon participate IN
the returning tide prosperity. The scheme now Of
fered is by far the most attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented to the public in the United Sates and
many very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with prncey fortunes or handsome addi-
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken an interest IN this Lot
terry now have an additional opportunity offered them;
and they are respectfully reminded, that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid scheme they
will insure an early distribution ofthe rich prizes con-
tans-as the lottery shall positively be drawn rs soon
