The Lottery Bill.

The passage of the Lottery Bill last Thurs
day took the whole State by surprise, and made
the people stare for very wonder. Notwith.
standing the House had postponed the consid-
Grafton of the matter until the 25th inst, with
out a moments warning they suspended the
rules and had the bill /read three times and
passed by special order. 1t has been truly said
that such proceeding would do well in revo-
luiiOaary times, or to prevent foreign inva-
sion, but such action, at such times, in such
manner, shows an entire want of honesty and
fair rdealing. We do not believe that the strong
eat friends Of this bill advocate Lotterer per
Sc. but only for the purpose of carrying out GER
tain improvements, not stopping to consider the
disgrace contempt and reproach they are heap
iag upon the State. The final passage of this
act would be against the wishes of nine tenths
of the entire State, and we cannot see how our
legislators can dare do this thing and go home
and face an outraged constituency.
The bill, however, is not passed. The SEN
ate, acting with more fairness, would not hurry
il through thus, and it is said, it will not pass
that body in its present form-the vote on its
most approved plan standing 5 to 4. One ac-
count says, that Messrs. Harrington and Nau-
dan are both on the " stool of repentance" and
their votes need not be "counted in" on its
coming back to the House. Otherwise we
hear, however, that Mr.. Naudain is firm to his
former vote An effort was made to bring it
up in the Senate on Tuesday, but failed. Re-
mOnstrances we learn, are pouring into Dover
at rapid rate, and the town is filled every day
with persons from all parts ofthe State to beat
back, if possible, by their moral influence, the
passage of this monstrous measure.
Since writing the above, we learn that there
is probability of the bill passing the Senate
to-day.

DOVER, Jan. %, 1859.
Mr.. EDITOR: AS one of the friends of our
cause, you will be pleased to hear of its con.
tinued success in Delaware. Since the an
nouncement last week by the Lady Managers
for Wilmington, that they were again ready to
receive contributions, our Treasury daily testi-
ies TO the liberaiiy and patriotism of her citi-
zens OF our late remittance to the Treasurer
at Washington city OF nearly $1,000, over $500
were collected by the ladies' who have in charge
the city Of Wilmington, and it is confidently
believed that their present labors will be re-
warded with even more than that sum. These
energetic ladies who, at the sacrifice of time
and private interests, have engaged to promote
this afduous. self imposed task of the women oi
America, should not find it. necessary to call al
every door for u name and a dollar. Without
hope of reward, (for our Office is no sinecure,)
the ladies of the Association in Delaware are
| in the highways of her towns and villages, pre-
senting to her citizens the sacred, imperative
long deferred duty OF Americans to purchase
Mount Vernon, and the privilege to aid in The
performance of that duty ROo. Who will I0GlI
