NY. The lectures of the Row M

nGs~ The lectures of the Rev. Mr..
Foss, at the Union Meeting House, on
Saturday and Sunday evenings last, on
the Kansas and Nebraska question, were
equal, if not supcrior,in pout ofeloquence
and information to anything Of the kind
to which We have had the pleasure of
listening. The great objection that we
had to them was that, long as they were,
they were too short. We think he
takes rational and proper view of the
subject and we believe that any person
who listens to him must find it altogether
futile to attempt to combat his positions,
for they are so we'll fortified and sub
stautiated by facts as to be almost or
quite impregnable.

drawing the prizes, for which chance We
certainly would not give five per cent.
on the price of the tickets. And we
have plenty of business to occupy our
self about without being under the ne
cessity of resorting to that of lottery
ticket vcndcr through fear Of ennui. And
furthermore, our paper is not a large
one, and therefore We are not under the
necessity of filling our columns with
" dead ADVERTISEMENTS" or those which
do not pay even half price. Our great
est trouble on that point, is to find room
for those advertisements which pay
good price without encroaching on the
space allotted to news and miscellaneous
matter, and should they continue to
crowd upon US as they have done lately,
we shall be under the agreeable necessity
of enlarging our borders again There
are few things that are more pleasing to
a newspaper publisher than to see his
columns well filled with paying adver-
tiscmcnts; but those which do not pay
are an eye-sore to him and his readers.
7Hirdly: We have very little con-
fdence in the responsibility Of the
source from whence this advertisement
comes. The order is signed 81. E.
Rutherford, for V. B. Palmer" who is
claimed as the authorized agent to make
contracts for advertising. Now,in the first
place, we have the authority Of Mr.. V.
B. Palmer, himself, that Mr.. Rutherford
has no connection at all with him in his
business and no authority to make con-
tracts for him, neither is he at all re-
sponsible for contracts made by said
Rutherford so that that looks to us
like prima facie evidence Of fraud.
And if man will deceive us about the
source from whence the advertisement
comes, We see no reason why We should
not distrust his promptness in payment.
E0urthly and Lastly: There is law
in Rhode Island and Connecticut-the
two States where our paper is mostly
circulated-to prohibit lottery gambling
which we suppose was enacted for the
good Of the inhabitants Of these States,
and if it is detrimental for people tc
gamble at home, we do not see why ii
is not quite as much for them to do SC
abroad therefore, as law-abding and
wholesome citizens We cannot use ou
influence in favor Of gambling. AS it i
not the province of the laws Of these
States to prevent people from going
abroad to gamble, so, we do not expcc
to prevent their purchasing lotter!
tickets if they are disposed to do so, bu
if we have nothing to do with the matter
we shall have done what we could tc
prevent it, and to show our disapprovaI
of it. We would rot have law pro-
hibiting any man from buying a lottery
ticket, if we could, if he chose to do so
neither would we have one prohibiting
any man from drinking whiskey, if WI
could, but We would have it severe
penalty for any man to furnish liquo,
for miscellaneous use and so we woulc
have it severe penalty for man t.
sell lottery ticket.

Notices.

The SACRED CIRCLE, is the title ofa
new publication devoted to the dissem-
ination of the new doctrine of Spiritual
ism. 1t is edited by Judge Edmonds,
DR.. Dexter, and o. G.. Warren names
which will-if there is anything in
namc-have great influence with the
believers in that doctrine. 1t is pub
lished monthly by Partridge & Brittan,
New York, at So year. 1t seems to
be a publication worthy the patronage
of those who wish to read on this sub
ject.
We should be very happy to exchange
with the Circle, but we must be allowed
to say that the treatment which we have
hitherto received at the hands of these
Publishers does not warrant us in en-
tertaining the hope. When the Sheki-
nah was started by them we received
two or three stray numbers, which were
noticed by us according to our best
judgment, but they came so irregular
that they were almost worthless, and
finally ceased altogether. The Spiritual
Telegraph was received regularly for a
a short time, when it dropped off and
was received very irregularly, and now
it is received about once in dogs
age" and then it almost invariably has
some puff of itself intended for us to
copy. But after this scurvy treatment
we give the Circle the benefit of the
above notice, and if the publishers see
fit to put us down as an occasional ex-
change-vcry good; if not, act your
pleasure.
