II has been ascertaiued, beyond doubt that
IN the Louisiana Legislature there are forth
members in favor of the Administration OF the
General Government, and ttoeaty seren opposed
tot; yet the Jackson prints affect to believe,
that because the Hero is invited to JOIN the citi-
zens of New Orleans in celeb ating the next sth
OF January, the vote of Louisiana is pledged to
HIM. We view the invitation in very different
light. Disappearing Of Gen. Jackson's demand
of the Presidency. but grateful for his defence of
New Orleans the citizens of Louisiana tender
him a mt!itdg reward a triumph-for his mill
tdrg services. This is all that is meant by the
Legislative invitation, as the General and his
followers Will soon discover AIez. Gas.

Serere Lottery Lpc. The New York Amer.
can states, that the Legislature Of that State ha,
passed the Lottery bill, retaining all its most ii.
gorous features. Every lottery broker in the
city New York is obliged to take license, the
price Of which is $500 and TO give security in
the sum of $4,000 that he will comply with all
The requistions ofthe act. There is imposed
fine Of 500 dollars and years Imprisonment
for selling a foreign lottery ticket For selling
the share of my lottery ticket, 800, and three
months imprisonment. Conviction for any Of
these offences disqualifes for taking out cence.

Nothing could be more strlkingly illustrative
ofthe wisdom prudence and integrity of the
present administration of the General Govern.
ment, than the grounds upon which its enc

and naliGnity have been unable TO extract from

of calumnatiag the son. The errors of that
departed statesman were long since repented Of

hopeless must be that cause winch from such
means seeks a totrrng support.
