/ How they GRmBIed in the days Of Our
Erandfadhers.

How they GambIed in the days Of Our
Grandfathers.
The following extract is copied from Massey's
History Of EnglaEd during the reign Of George IiT;
The vice which, above all others, infested English
society during the greater part Of the eighteenth
century, was gaming Men and women the old
and the Young, beaux and statesmen, peers and
apprentices the learned and polite, wen as the
ignorant aud vulgar, we're alike invOlvedn in the v6r
tex of the play Hor5e~raemg, ceok.f Citing, bets
ting Of every description, with the ordinary re-
sources Of cards and dies, the chief employ
ment of many and we're tGmpered with more or less
by almost every person in the higher ranks Of life
The proprietary clubs-White', Brooks BoOdle's-
were originally insitUled evade the statute against
public gaming houses Every fashionable assembly
was gaming house. Large balls aud rou's had
not yet come into vogue. ball seldom consisted
of more than ten twelve couples aud the practice
Of collecting crowd Of 6ue people 10 do nothing,
is a invention Of recent daie.
When lady received company, card,tablss were
provided for all The guests; and even where there
was dancing, cards formed the principal part Of
the entertainment. Games Of skill we're seldom
played. BTag, Grim, basset, omber, Eazzard, COM
merce, sPadille-tbe very names Of which are hard
ly known to the present geneIation-furnished the
excitement Of Tlay and enabled people Of fashion
to win and lose their mouey without mental effort.
Whist not much in vogue until later period,
and was far too absruse andslowtO suit the deprav-
ed taste which required unadulterated stimulants.
The ordinary stakes at these mixed assemblies
would, the present day, be considered high even
at clubs where a rubber is stil allowed. The con-
sequences Of such gaming often still more la
mentable than those which usually attended such
practices. It would happen that a lady lost more
than she would venture to confess 10 a husband OF

President Breekinridge to the Democratic Central
Committee Of Illinois, telegrsphie synopsis of
which We published few days since.
VERSAILLES, KT, Oct. f. 1858.
DEAR SIR: Ireeeived this morning your letter
Of the 28th and 29Jh ult written as ch airman Of
the Democratic State Committee Of Illinois also one
from MIR Hiekox, who informs me that be is q
member Of the same committee Ny absence, from
home will account for the delay Of this answer
In these letters it is said that I am reported to
have expressed q desire that Mr.. Douglas shall de
feat Mr.. Lincoln, in their contest for seat in the
Senate Of the United States, and 8 willingness 10
visit Illinois, and make public speeches in aid Of
such result; and if these reports sIe true an in
vited to deliver addresses at certain points in the
State
The rumor Of ny readiness TO visit Illinois, and
address the people in the present canvass is with
out fOundation did not propose to leave Kentucky
for the purpose Of minging in the political discuss
sions Of other States The two or three speeches
which delivered recently in this Stale rested on
peculiar grOuuds, which 1 need Z OF now discuss.
The other TumOr to which you refer is true. ]
have often, in conversation, expressed the wish that
Mr.. Douglas may succeed over his Republican com
petitor. But it lie due to candor to say that this
preference is not founded his course at the lsie
session Of gress, and would not exist If sup
posed it would be construed as an endorsement Of
the attitude which he then chose TO assume towards
his party Of all the positions he has taken in the
present canvass. 1t is not necessary to enlarge
these things. I will only add, that my preference
rests mainly these considerations: that the Kan
sas question is practically ended that Mr. Douglas,
in recent speeches, has explicitly declared his sd
berence to the regular Democratic party orgsnizs
tiOn-that he seems 10 be the candidate OF the Hi
nois Democracy, and the most formidable opponent
in that State Of the Republican party, and that on
than one occasion during his public life he has
defended the Union Of the States and the rights Of
the States with hdeity, courage, aud great ability.
have not desired to say anything upon this or
any other subject about which a difference may be
supposed 10 exist ia the political family, but did
not feel at liberty decline an answer The
teOus letter Of your committee.
With cordial wishes for the harmony Of the Ill
nOs Democracy, and the hope thstyour great State,
which has never yet given sectional vote, may
continue true 10 our Constitutional Union,
am, very respectfully, your Obedient servant
JoHN c. BRECKERIDGE.
