Mr.. SxowDEN: At the request of "a Gu,
zen," you published the Amended Charter o'
the Corporation--and in your paper OF yesterday
appeared his appeal to the President OF the Com
mon Council. It's certainly desirable that eve
~ citizen should feel deeply interested IN the
welfare and prosperity Of the community where
his lot is cast and it is unquestionably the duty
of all, to promote the public welfare as far as
practicable. But sir, though the end may be de-
youtly and unanimously wished. yet there may
be diversity of opinion, with regard to the pro-
priety of the means to be used. Now cannot
for nv life, agree with "a Citizen" IN suppos-
ins that this town may be benefited by Lotto.
RIGS; and i'll had the faculty OF some men, OF
putting nv ideas upon paper with facility could
demonstrate the fu,ility OF such an idea, ana ex-
hibit the pernicious results that would be iiKeiy
to flow, from the introduction of the Lottery sys-
TEN into the fiscal affairs of this town.
Adam Smith, in his treatise on the wealth. OF
Nations, has clearly shewn the danger and FISK
to individuals who hazard money IN Lotteries;
and has established the fact, that In proportion
to the extent of ones dealings, is the certainty OF
loss.
Let the attention Of any people be once ab-
stracted from their lawful avocatlonS-aho al
lured from the slow but sure and direct road to
prosperity ana "ea'."-a"" 'e' ~ ~. !
ways and near cuts, which spirit OF aVarice anu
gaming would point outIand It needs not uhe
spirit Of prophesy to predict, the inevitable and
miserable consequences.
Industry and economy, sobriety and honesty,
are the grand highways to prosperity and honor;
and wherever we see these fundamental prlncl-
pies suppianted by the spirit Of gaming, we may
b,d farewell, long farewell, to all that is Glove
ly and of good report"
If am correctly informed, England has sup,
pressed Lotteries. and many of these United
States have been lesislatlng on the same subject;
and i trust the day is not far distant, when the
magnitude of the evil will be fully exposed:
