The sale of ticketsin the above Scheme not havisg
been sufficient warrant the drawing to take place
the the 22d ultimo, as originally intended, without
risk OF considerable loss to the manager, the drawing
the is hereby postponed for 80 90 days; no
tce fthc precise day which the Lottery will posi-
lively be drawn will however soon be given;
p CANFIELD, Manager.
1t may not, perhaps be necessary to assign any fur
her reasons for this short postponement than con-
tanned in the above The MANAGER would, howev-
er beg leg leave to add, that when this class is
sued few persons if any, anticipated in the least the
late panic in the money msrket which has almost para
yzcd every kind of business and has caused such SIM
gular and unprecedented stasnaton 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 the Other and has been general III several OF
the oldest and wealtlest foreign countries. And 1t
will not be considered matter OF surprise, that the
same which have induced so recently the post
ponement ofthc drawing OF important lottery should
hayc similar effect ofmuch greater magnitude
But is hoped that happy change tor these reverses
has already commenced and that all classes of our ct-
zens in every part of the Union will soon participate in
the returning tide ofprosptriy The scheme no:y Of
fered is by far the most attractive and splendid of any
ever presented to the public in the United States; and
n,anv very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with prncely fortunes or handsome addi-
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken 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 the rich prizes
tans-as the lottery shall positively be drawn as soon
as the sale of tickets will justify; and the prizes paid
in cash immediately after the drawing; all persons
therefore are invited to come forward and take ticket
or share at either OF the managers Offices where all
applications personal per letter, will at any time be
promptly attended to by the publics obcdent servant,

PROPOSALS
ron PUBLISHING BIZ sUBscRIPTIoE,
THE SPEECHES OF
lN1lANRW CLAY
In Congress of the United States,

From 1910, TO 1924, inclusive,
NEW individuals in our country, have per-
IL formed more important part in its po-
litical relations or attracted more universal at
tention than Henry Clay. For fifteen years
he has filled the most conspicuous stations in
the gift of his country, and the history OF his
public career is essentially associated with
that of the nation. To him, more than to any
other individual now living, may be attributed
that system of policy which has secured cur
present prosperity, so greatly exalted our cha
racter, and so extensively dffused our reputa-
ton. To his Speeches in Congress, we may
look as the sources of the most influential and
beneficial acts of our Federal Government for
several years past--acts which have laid the
foundations of the glory and prosperity of his
country, and which have reared an imperisha-
BILE monument to the msgnanmty of his prin-
ciples, the vigor OF his intellect, the accuracy
OF his Judgment, and the spendor of his ge-
MUS
1t is greatly to be deplored, that no memo-
rals OF these instructive and splendid illusions
OF natural genius and cultivated talent are to
be found except in the ephemeral newspapers
OF the day, which few have preserved, and
which are now inaccessible to the great mass
of society. Believing that these excellent
speeches are worthy of preservation, and that
the public participate in our opinion, we have
resolved to undertake their publication, in =
form more convenient for general use. and
better calculated to diffuse their benefits. ,hsn
that in which they are now to be found.
The work which we propose to publish will
comprise the following speeches delivered by
Mr.. CLAY: all of which refer to subjects IL
general interest, and which can never be read
without instruction and delight by the politi.
clans of our country, even after many succeed.
ing generations shall have passed away.

POETRY.
From fhe Delaware Gazette,
PARAPHRASE


Where the brier and bramble now grow,
Where the thorn and the wild thistle nod,
The roses of Sharon shall blow,
And scatter their perfume abroad.
In the barren and dry thirsty land,
Shall rivers and fountains be seen;
And Spring, with her life-giving hand,
Clothe mountain and valley in green;
The wild beast of prey shall be Slain
All pestilent vapors removed
Nor the venomous serpent again
Coil his folds in the den that he loved. :.
Ye doubling and feeble, no more
Stand trembling in weakness and fear;
Your trials, temptations are DER
Your hour of salvation is near.
"If whet but my gltterlng sword,
Twill root out my foes from the land:"
Then be strong in the might Of the Lord,
And trust to his powerful hand.
The blind, who in darkness have CROPPED,
Shall behold the bright beams of the sun;
The ears of the deaf be unstop'd
And the lame like the mountain-hart run.
The song of the dumb shall arise,
Like incense from affairs of old;
A tribute of praise to the skies
And the wonders of Heaven be told.
Twill spread out holy highway
For you, the rich price of my Blood
While sinners are driven away,
And whelm'd in distinctions dark food.
None now but the feet of the just,
Shall tread on that pathway divine:
Nor saints though in ignorance, must
Ever err in such presence as thine.
No monster shall Turk in the way
That leads to the haven above;
Nor demon, in fearful array,
Be found in that region of love-
To Zion the ransom'd shall come,
And from their wild wanderings cease;
While sweetly around their lov'd home,
Shall bloom the bright olive of peace.
No longer sweeps Ger her the blast,
That scowld over forest and flood;
Her shadows and darkness are pass'd
Like the gloom from the face of the good.
Her sweet song Of gladness and joy,
Shall charm, as it echoes away:
While praise all her moments employ,
And sorrow and care fee away.
Brandyuipe, March 9th.
THE SECRET.
In fair lady's heart once a secret was Turk

The lips half betrayed it by smiling and smirk.

And the tongue was impatient to blab it nc

But Honor look'd gruff on the subject, and

In charge to the teeth so enchantingly white
Should the captive attempt an elopement to

BY giving the lips an admonishing bite.
Twas said, land twas settled, and Honor depart

Tongue quiver'd and trenbled but dared moi

When right to its tip Secret suddenly started
And half, in whisper, escaped from its cell
Quoth the teeth, in pet, we'll be even fol

And they bit very smartly above and be
But the lips at that moment were bribed with

And they popp'd out the Secret in spite o
