We copy the following sensible and
timely remarks from the New York States
man. There will probably be half Il NIL
lion of dollars riSked in this country upon
the result ofthe Presidential election-sub-
divided, it may be, among fifty thousand
gamblerS-tOr every man who hazards a
bet is guilty Of gambling.
BETs.-We perceive that with refer
ence to the coming presidential election,
betting is now in full tide. 1t should how
ever be remembered that this practise,
which is capital sport for the winners, make
sad work like every other species of gamh-
ling, with the opposite, I'd est with the los
ing parties, 10 be sure it m1y be no harm
to get "done" for cork or two of cham,
paigne, particularly when the payor is ell
tiled by the articles to be sin at the DEATH
in other words tc quaff bumper of toa-
ming bright liquor; but to he caught to the
tune of hundreds and thousands of dollars,
| without deduction, presents the affair in ii
somewhat different aspect. We conjecture
that it must be very like swallowing (noiens
OoIens) a compound of NORWOOD and sen
na.
And for what is this Inconvenience, with
the attendant heart burnin gs, incurred g.
What is the actual object and meaning of
bets These are questions which are We
ry rarely asked, and we dare say are rare
| ly understood, even by the most unlucky
devotee to the system. A few words Will
illustrate the subject completely Betting
IS mtuced by mere pride of opinaOn, mere
Obstinocy Of self viU---and is absolutely
nothing but a sacrifice to these passions y!
1t does not affect the result so much as
The weight of a single hair. 1t furnishes
no argument, aud illustrates no OPINION
1t proves NOTHING except that the
parties have warm confidence in me Civ
en- event, with the probable and generally
correct inference, that their feelings are
wholly on the side of their convictons.--
In most cases, their feelings blind and bias
those convictions; although even suppos-
ing that the latter were founded on atient-
! i've enquiry and calculation. The principle
of betting still comes down TO self confd.
ence and conceit. There may indeed, be
another one involved, and but one other
viz. cupidity but this is much worse thar
the former, and we are therefore wi.In.
to throw it entirely out of the question.
The final proposition then offers itseI
to the mind. "Shall I, simply from over.
weening hope or credulty, suffer pecunia-
ny losses myself, or profit by the losses O
others! Is it commendable, rational or high
principled so to do?" Such acalechism,
properly administered, would produce We.
ny great good although we dare say that
some red-hot Adams or Jackson man, who
has already entered into large stakes, and
waits for the issue to give them a lodge
ment in his pocket, thinks we have been
vastly dull all the time of this lecture.

must have Others naturally arising from, and
growing out of them. We will not go any
farther now, in the sickening catalogue. 1t
gives us pain to think that such IA man should
ever have been thought of as President Of the
United States, and more, to see how madly
some are bent upon his. elevation, and the
arts they resort to for the purpose OF ettecting
it.
We ask those who are to decide the great
question, and particularly the people of Vlr-

have been made of General Jacks"n's VIC

The editor of 1he Cincinnati Gazette, re-

on this passage says:
This passage does carry conviction to my
heart-convction that the man who occasion

never ought to be President of the u States.
Conviction that the man who could witness
this scene, and let falsehood go abroad con
corning its origin, is base and heartess
wretch, whose subsequent corrections are far
more likely to grow out of political design,
than the lo,e.of truth. Conviction that those
who pretend to find in it vindication of the
