lfsssrs. Editors: During the late session of
Congress the public were constantly informed
of the political movements in Westinghouse
the opinions entertained there by distinguished
men, and particularly of the sentiments ex-
pressed by the leading members of both Hous-
cs. The speeches delivered were read with a
yidity, and it was acknowledged on all hands,
that, although the debates were protracted to
extraordinary lengths, there was scarcely ever
session SO productive of sound argument and
fine eloouence, or which elected more talents -
I am not a politician, nor do feel much in
terest in the strife which is now waging; but
must say, that have risen from perusal Of
some Of the best speeches made this year, both
pleased, grat6ed and Instructed: pleased, be-
cause reflected that the orators were my coun-
trymen,-and instructed by the doctrines and
opinions so skilfully advanced, and so resolute-
" maintained. The feeling is natural, and per-
haps universal, for us to desire to know some
thing personal, something about the manner,
the appearance, the style, and the peculiarities
of those, concerning whom we so often hear
and whose words we so often read We wish
70 look.at their full length portraits, to see their
action. mark even the tones Of their voices, and
decide upon their merits as public speakers
The newspapers have in part given the public
this information. My purpose is only to Civ,
impressions which forced themselves upon me
while listening to some of the greatest orator
of cur country. The most extraordinary MAJ
in our National legislature is, undoubtedly, tn
far famed "John Randolph, Of Roanoke;"--o

The 9th Class ofhe
GranA Vniyersi y AOttery.

The lie of tcketsin the above Scheme not having
been su ent warrant the drawing to taSe place on
the the ed ultmo, as originally intended, without
risk of considerable loss to the manager the drawing
of the same is hereby postponed for 80 90 days. no.
tce of the precise day which the Lottery will posi-
lively be drawn will however soon be given.
p CAMPBELL, Manager.
It may not perhaps, be necessary to assign any fur
ther reasons for this short posponemen than are 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 market which has almost para
yzed every kind of business and has caused such sim
gular and unprecedented stagnaon in trade. The
distress ct capitalists and moned institutions has not
been confined to any single state in confcderacy,
but has been severely felt from extremity of the
country to tie other and has been general in several Of
the oldest and wealthiest foreign countries And it
will not be considered matter of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced so recently the post
ponement of the drawing of important lottery, should
have similar effect ofmuch greater magnitude.
But il is hoped that happy change for these reverscs
has already commenced and that all classes OF our c
zens in every part Of the Union will soon participate in
the returning tide prosperity The scheme now Of
ered is by far the most attractive and sp6 ndd OF any
ever presented to the public in the United States and
manv very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with princely fortunes or handsome add
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken an interest IN TINS 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 early distribution OF the rich prizes 1t con-
tans-as the lottery shall positively be drawn soon
