Lotteries having become fo general, the following account of them may not be uninterefting.

Father Meneftrier published in 1700 an archaeological treatife on lotteries; the first of which he finds noticed were those of the Roman Saturnalia. The master of the house diftributed, by a fort of chance tickets among his guefts, each of which entitled the bearer to fome toy, or sweetmeat, or ornament. This lottery was called pitiacia, the prize upophoreta: names which indicate that the cultom came from Greece. Nero, during the games he celebrated for the eternity of the empire, gave away lottery tickets, fome of which produced at the drawing almoft a fortune to the poffeffors. Heliogabalus divided his lotteries half into blanks and half into prizes: but even his blanks contained an order to the bearer for fome trifle or other. One adventurer gained a gotch of crockery, another a myrrhine vafe; one fix flies, and and another fix flaves.

alteration is made, it fhould arife from ev.

FROM THE SAVANNAH MUSEUM.
The citizens of Savannah were thrown
into a serious state of agitation and alarm
the past week, from the very reprehenfible
nature of fome fentiments contained in a
charge to the Grand Jury of this county,
delivered on Monday laft by Jabez Bow-
en, jun. Elq. Judge of the Superior Court
for the Eaftern District of this ftate; and
which was increased by a knowledge of
certain obfervations that had fallen from
the Judge antecedent and fubfequent to
the delivery of the charge, ftill more high-
ly inflamatory.

The Grand Jury continued to meet the
court until Wednesday morning, when
they delivered to the Judge the following
prefentment:

rofe in a body and lelt the court-houfe directly on their departure. The bar had a meeting immediately, and refolved that they would at their own expence entertain and dine with the Grand Jury in the goal; that they viewed Judge Bowen's proffitution of judicial dignity with abborence; and that during the prefent term they would. not take their feats at the bar nor answer to their names, but would attend without the bar at all times when the Grand Jury fhould be brought up before the court, for the purpose of affording fuch counsel as their circumftances may require.

The citizens alfo held a meeting at the Exchange, and in their refolutions applauded the firm, dignified and patriotic demeanor of the Grand Jury; and appointed a committee of feven to procure a legiflative enquiry into the conduct of Judge

Bowen.

Thus fituated, and taking into view the heinously flagicious language of the Judge, a warrant was iffued against him for an "attempt to excite domeftic infurrection"

"We the Grand Jury for the body of the county of Chatham, having taken into re-confideration the political ftri&ture de--and he was apprehended in the evening livered to us yefterday as a charge by his honour Judge Bowen, do upon our oaths, prefent, That it is injudicial, infulting to our government, and repugnant to the general intereft of our country, by diffemina

of Genoa, the firft ufe of lotteries as a refource of finance. The Genoefe lottery confifts of fifty members, of which only five are drawn. Every adventurer puts in any figure at his pleafure, on one, two, three, four, or five numbers. If he puts in on one fuccefsful number, he gains twice his fake; if on two fuccefstul numbers, four times his flake; if on three eight times his ftake; if on four fixteen; it on five thirty-two times his ftake. This fort of lottery is very tempting to all claffes of the people, efpecially to the poorer, and is in general ufe all over the continent.

Extrad from the Speech of Gov. Trum. ball, to the legislature of Connecticut, at the opening of their late feffion.

"Among the communications which will now be laid before you, is a letter from the Prefident of the United States, conveying the copy of a refolution of both houfes of congrefs, propofing an amendment to the conflitution of the U. States, refpecting the election of the prefident and vice-prefident of the union. This propofal will gain your moft ferious confideration. On this fubject, you will fuffer me to obferve, that I view with fuch reverence & rel pect this venerable inftrument of our conftitution, formed with fo much wif dom and deliberation, by our political fathers, that I think it fhould not be rudely affailed by the fpirit of innovation, nor lightly altered, in conformity to any fpec

infurrection. We, therefore, without vio-
lence to our confcience, and a total diire.
gard of the dearest ties of fociety and its
welfare, cannot further proceed with bu-
finefs. And we are of opinion from the
reafons above mentioned, that the faid
charge fhould not receive publication;
but recommend, that a copy of the charge
and this our prefentment, be forwarded by
the Clerk of the Superior Court to his Ex-
cellcy the Governor, and be laid before
the next feffion of the Legiflature for their
confideration.

Inflamed at this temperate yet dignified
conduct of the Grand Jury, the Judge
inftantly ordered the Sheriff to take them
to goal. They were proceeding, when
there arofe a partial cry of "no, no-they
fhall not go"-which was immediately fi-
lenced by the determined deportment of
the Grand Jury.-At this cry the Judge
pulled out a brace of piftols, exclaiming,
"Where is the damn'd rafcal who dares fay
no ?-fhew him to me and I'll blow his

brains out!" The Grand Jury, howev.
er, proceeded to goal, accompanied by
most of the gentlemen of the bar, who

between 9 and 10 o'clock; but before he was taken he attempted to make his efcape, and flafhed a loaded piftol at the theriff.

The next morning (Thurfday) the Grand Jury, through their counfel, petitioned the Juftices of the Inferior court for a writ of Habeas Corpus, which was granted, and they were accordingly releafed from confinement."

When reposing that night on my pallet of straw,
By the wolf-scaring faggot that guarded the slain,
At the dead of the night a sweet vision I saw,
And twice, ere the cock crew, dreamt it again.

Me thought from the battle field's dreadful array,
Far, far, had I roam'd on a desciate track,
Till nature and sunshine disclos'd the sweet way
To the house of my father, that welcom'd me back

I flew to the pleasant field travell'd so oft

In life's morning march, when my bosom was young,

I heard my own mountain goats bleating aloft, And well knew the strain that the corn reapers sung.

FROM A LONDON PAPER.

A WAGER betwixt Captains Prescot and Tucker, of the 5th Light Dragoons, was determined on Friday, by a fingular horfe race, which we learn is denominated feeple hunting. The race was run from Chapel-houfes, on the weft turnpike to Cow-gate, Newcastle, a diftance of about three miles. The mode of running fuch races is not to deviate more than fifteen yards from the direct line to the object in view, notwithflanding any impediments the riders may meet with, fuch as hedges, ditches, &c.; the leading horfe has the choice of road to the extent of the limits, and the other cannot go over the fame ground, but, ftill preferving thofe limits, muft chuse another road for himfelf.

HENEVER the anti-federal party are difpofed to make any great change whenever they wish to innovate. any old and good inftitution-whenever they would filch from the people any að, right, or commit any other unpopular act, their first object is, to raife a clamor against their opponents, and charge them with an intention of doing the very thing of which they themselves are about to be guilty.

I am led to this remark by the hue and -cry of the anti-federalifts, with refpect to Mischief is a diffolution of the union.

made manifeft to the people, they would
revolt at it. Knowing this, the projec.
tors of the plan have fet their engines of
delufion to work to accufe the federalifts
(the only true friends of the conftitution
and the union) of having designs hoftile
to the peace of the country. After they
have fufficiently impreffed this idea on the
public mind, they will proceed to goad
and fcourge the federalifts. If this is pa-
tiently borne, they will be fatisfied and the
union may remain. If not-if fuch con-
duct fhould provoke refiftance, and a dif
folution of the union fhould be the confe-
quence, they hope to throw that blame up-
on the federalifts, which belongs exclu-
fively to themfelves.

Now let us fee what measures have been
adopted by the anti-federalifts, with an ev
ident intention of increafing the power and
influence of Virginia, and of depreffing
and weakening the northern intereft.

flates can never afterwards maintain any confiderable confequence in the general government.

Laftly, fuch fchemes of finance are adopted, that a principal part of the revenue of the union, is drawn from the com. merce of the eastern and northern states, while Virginia, by removing the taxes on Whiskey and Coaches, almost avoids any participation of the public burthens.

With thefe beginnings, we may foon expect to see our conftitution frittered away, and our federative rights infringed, until thofe ftates not under the immediate favor and protection of Virginia, will scarcely have a privilege to boast-except the priv ilege of being tributary vaffals.

What, I afk, is to be the confequence of thefe things? Will the northern flates view them with indifference? Will they fubmit cheerfully and without murmuring to thefe unequal measures? If they will, Virginia proud of her afcendancy, will perhaps reft contented.-But, in all probability, the northern flates will not cheerfully fubmit. They will complain

I can now plainly, fee what I have long fufpected, that that reftlefs and diforganizing faction is not only bent on the deftru&tion of the conflitution, but is alfo refolved to diffever the ́federal union.* That is, the anti-federalifs are determined either to render the fmaller flates fubfervient to the larger, or drive them to a feparation. They will make Virginia miftrefs of the whole, or find a pretext for denouncing thofe who refuse to bend to her will, as REBELS and TRAITORS!-Should this fcheme of fepa-forget his neighbors and kinfmen in the ration be openly avowed-should this attempt to divide and ruin the union be

"UNITED we ftand, divided we fall," is and ever will be the directing maxim of the patriot. Under its impreffion, he will endeavour to diffipate rancour, to quell animofity, and exert his best powers to promote unanimity of fentiment and harmony of action. We all muft act under the influence of this principle, if we love our country. That it should ever be abandoned by the wife and the good cannot be fuppofed, without afcribing to them fome latal delufion. But on examining the fitu ation of our country, of a people who at leaft in their refpective States, exhibit an uniformity of habits, and enjoy fimilar opportunities of improvement, we find unhappy divifions,, and all the rage of party. As this must have fome other caufe than our feelings or opinions as far as they are dependent on education, it may be inftructive to trace this threatening diffention to its fource. It may ferve to tranquilize for the prefent, and guard against future evils.

At the commencement of the French

revolution, all must remember the degree of intereft our citizens univerfally took in its fuccefs. The union that exifted between the French and Americans in our glorious ftruggle for independence-the zeal we felt for the caufe of liberty, which was enkindled by our own labours and concioufnefs of its bleflings-the fond dreams we indulged of its fuccefs and the ultimate extenfion of its advantage, through the world, confpired to make us fanguine in the expectation of the revolution in France being conducted on the fane principles and terminating in the fame happiness as our own.-Bit we had not cooly confidered the difference between a calm, moral and religious nation, contending against foreign encroachment, and an unprincipled and uninformed people: breaking loofe from every restraint of government, and cafting from them, with equal indignatior, the fhackles of tyranny, and the milder restrictions of law. Events foon discover.

fed that from our confined knowledge of
ed that from our confined knowledge of,
the character and late of Europe we were
incompetent to decide on the wildom of
revolutionary movements, or predict their
iffue. Many of our beft men were open
and candid in acknowledging a miflake
which had originated in a facred regard to
the rights of man, and a warm with that
they might be univerfally known and en-
joyed. This confeffion would have be-
come general, and accompanied the re.
gret of all the benevolent part of the com-
munity, that all men were not at the mo-
ment fitted to eftablish Republican inftitu-
tions, and enjoy their advantages.-All
would have felt that the progrefs of liberty
must be as gradual as the improvement of
fociety, and the diffufion of knowledge a
mong an ignorant people; or if we had
difagreed, it would have been like a com-
mon difference among friends, on the means
of effecting an end which all de fired.

But this tranquil ftate of fociety was in-
confiftent with the views of the rulers of
France. They had feduced many, they
had terrified fome into the fupport of meal-
ures, which had as little connection with
the liberty of mankind, as their own de-
figns had with the liberty of their coun-
try.-Ambitious men had gained power by
intrigue and outrage, and they had fo far
fhaken off their fears, as to afpire to the
Empire of the world. To effect their
fchemes, they endeavoured to deftroy by
their arts, which have been proverbial for
ages, all governments, and in the chaos
of domestick diffentions to nfurp arbitrary
rule, or produce a humble acquiefcence to
their authority. This was the fecret fource
of that unhappy divifion of our nation
which exifts, though the caufe has long

cions of the views of thefe emiffaries of the French fchool. They knew and they talked of the outrages bf the French gov ernment, their ufe of mobs and their contempt of religion, and boldly urged the neceffity of holding taft to the old dortrines and inflitutions. We come now to the confequence.

The French expected and were prepar. ed to meet this oppofition. They well knew they had every thing to apprehend from prudent Statesmen, and they refolv. ed by a double plot to render the unfuf pected of attachments to Monarchy, and at the fame time to ingratiate theinfelves with men of more theory and bolder speculations. They had alfo obferved many were disappointed in the purfuit of honour, and were ready to difapprove of a fyltem from which they had not derived peculiar advantages. From thefe views they began to decry the caution of many of our beft men, under harfher epithets than those of ignorance or imbecility.-They conftrued an anxiety to preferve peace into an indif ference to the caufe of liberty. They del cribed fulpicions of the objects of the ru lers of France, as enmity to France.-They oftentatioufly challenged to themfelves the honour of fighting the battles of freedom, and complained that our rulers prayed for their defeat. They became bold by practice and fuccefs.They be held they caught much attention and ex

cited fome fears.
A free people is, and
ever should be watchful of its rulers. The
French goaded us to the madness of jea!.
oufy.-Their calumnies were all addressed
to our fears, while they protefted they were
the mere difclosures of friendship.-Is it
wonderful that fuch exertions, conducted
by talents, ftimulated by intereft, and urg
ed with perfeverance, fhould produce
fome effect? Is it wonderful that fup-

izens and more of our affiliated foreigners, fome of us fhould be led to fufpect our tried patriots of treachery, and at length liften with credulity to hardy knaves, who fneered at our beloved Washington for his imbecility, and charged him with corrup tion? Is it wonderful that in untried fcenes many fhould be duped, and that under the blindness of delufion we fhould outrage friendfl ip and facrifice national feelings?

The French agents in this country well. knew our weak fide-We doted on liberty. To acquire it our fathers had relin-ported by many of our own influențial cit quifhed every con fort of life-to preferve quifhed every con fort of life-to preferve it, we had boldly hazarded life itfelt.Hence they talked loud of liberty and equality. They become zealots, like new converts to frange do&trines. In fine they arrogantly affumed the tone of political preceptors, and undertook to teach the rights of man to one among the few nations on earth, which ever knew their extent by inquiry and by experiment. The fiyle of an empirick has fomething captivating in it. We are often led to buy the noftrums of a quack af er we have been juggied by of a quack after we have been juggied by his cant and gibberish. The French mountebanks prated fo much of reafon and phi lofophy, that we began to be ashamed of lofophy, that we began to be ashamed of plain common fenfe, and they boafted fo loudly of equality, that fome began to fulpect we had not liberty enough.-- But the more contemplating and ferutinizing part of the community, who had learnt much of mankind by hiftory and obfervation, be-ginia has erected a column of fleagh on came fcrupulous of the honefty and fufpi- the murders of Robefpierre, which threat

This is a brief sketch of the fource of that unhappy divifion which now prevails in this country. The continuance of this feud depends on other confes. The chimera of French liberty has expired.--Its illufions and delafions are over. But it is the intereft of many that its bleffed effects in this country fhould fill profit them, Ambitious men cannot fuffer thofe anj mofities to fubfide to which they owe their greatnefs. It is frange but true that Vir

ens to crush us.-She profited by our difference of opinion at that era. She put a foul of activity into it, which hurried us to hoftility and ftill continues an useless animofity. Her views are the fame as thofe of France, to establish her influence on our diffentions.-She has talked of the treachery and corruption of her BEST CITIZEN, and once boldly urged the impeachment of WASHINGTON! Some of the first men of New-England have been blafted by fimilar calumnies.-But during four years of inveftigation, the fcrutiny of envy and malice has not furnished her loud patriots with the means of fubftantiating a fingle charge. During that time he has violated the most important article of our Conftitution which regards perional liberty, and altered the only article which fecures political equality.-She has doubled her ftrength by the purchafe of Louisiana, in which the difcovers her temper, by eftablishing a monarchy, fubject only to ideal reftrictions.

Is it not time to confider calmly whether there is any reafon for divifions in New. England? Is it not time to confider the wifdom or juftice of a thoufand calumnies. ence perhaps excited by our fears, but now repeated by refentment. We have a common caufe to fupport, the intereft, the gov. ernment, the happinefs of our country. Thefe depend on UNION with the States, and of the States. It is our first duty to repe every attempt of infidious ambition to weaken the Federal Conftitution and on its imbecility or fall, to erect its own overbearing power. Let us only be jealous of those, whofe meafures difcover no regard for us-whofe endeavours are evidently to load us with burdens, that we may break from a compact which they wifh deftroyed. When they talk of lib. erty let us think of France, who in its hypocritic attempts to refcue the world from flavery, has forged new fetters for itfelt and neighbouring nations.-Let us improve the leffons of experience and aft as it we believed that to be a great and happy we need only be an united people.

While he is offering extracts of letters without signatures (a kind of testimony in which he often deals) to prove a fact which is admitted on all hands (that is, that the bill for allowing the truth to be given in evidence has not become a law of this state) he has entirely forgotten to adduce any thing to prove that the "passage of the law was prevented by the fe.leralists." As it was for making this assertion that he was termed a liar and a scoundrel, he will do well to clear up that point, before he too confidently boasts of his being "incapable of a wilful misrepresentation of the truth or intentional breach of the laws of urbanity and good faith." He published that lie, knowing it to be such: And now let him 100k in his glass, if he wishes to see "a liar and a scoundrel,"

The extracts of letters which appear in the Bee, and which are said to be genuine, and written by our supreme judges, prove that we have not been materially incorrect in our statement of the loss of the bill for giving the truth in evidence. We sta. ted that the bill was lost in the legislature. This appears to be a mistake. The bill was lost in the council of revision-that is, it has never been found since it was sent there. And whether it will ever pass and become a law, is a question which time only can decide. At any rate, we must wait another season for it, and by that time, every federal printer in the state may be indicted under the old common law. We were led into the trifling error in our statement, by observing that the act concerning libels was not published among the titles of laws passed. Not being acquainted with the forms of legislative proceedings, we supposed this was sufficient evidence that the law had not passed the legislature. It could be of little consequence to us where or how the bill was lost. The idea we meant to convey was, that it had not become a law. This is proved to be correct by the very testimony produced by the Bee. We therefore stand acquitted of making any statement substantially untrue.
