p CAMPBELL, Manager.
1t may not perhaps, be necessary to assign any fur
ther reasons for this short posponement than are 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 m9rke ct which has almost para
lived 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 sing 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 wealthiest foreign countries And 1t
will not be considered matter Of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced so recently the post
poneen of the drawing of an important lottery should
have similar effect ofmuch greater magnitude.
But il hoped, that happy change for Hese reverses
has already and that all classes OF our ci-
Gems in every part of the Union will soon participate IN
the returning tide of 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 princey fortunes handsome addl-
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
viii insure an early distribution ofthe rich prizes it con-
tansas 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 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 pubc's obedient servant
