N. y. Delta: We would again re-
mind the lottery and its papers and
its orators that the antis have never
yet made an appeal to the negroes of
Louisiana for salvation, while every
time the lottery has been in danger
the negro has saved it. Every time
it was attacked, without the vote of
the negro it would have been whip
ped. On every occasion it has ap-
pealed to the negro against the white
people of the State, and has always
won by the aid of negro allies.
