Corre«|>omlcncc of the N. Y. Com. Advertiser Washington, Jnn. 5.—The appear ance of.Senator Mason in the Senate yes terday, in a full suit of home-spun gray Virginia cloth, attracted some attention During the nullification crisis, Mr. Mc Duffie, of South Carolina, appeared in like dress, os did several other eminent Southern men. During the Revolution it was common in the South for gentle men to woar home-spun garments, us a matter, not so much of necessity, as of patriotism. At Richmond the ladies appear now at fashionable parties in homo-spun cloth. All these things, with the insecurity of the persons of Northern citizens in the Southern States, alluded to yesterday 'by Senator Foster, are signs that, as another Sena tor remarked in debate, "we are in tho midst of a revolution, bloodless as yet.” A revolution has occurred-in the South ern mind, and it is not one that is like ly to go backward. Tho Northern mind is also, as wo have every reason to be lieve, unalterably fixed upon the _ asser tion of principles quite as decidedly Northern. Trenton, N. J., Jan. 10.—Tho State Legislature was organized, to-day by the election of C. L. C. Gilford, of Essex county, as President, and @ol. Rafferty, of Huntingdon, ns Secretary of the Senate, and A. U. Patterson, of Mon mouth, as Speaker, and D. D. Blnuvell, i these officers are Democrats. Tho Americans voted with the Democrats, and received in return tho minor offices of the House. Another Lottery Letter. Since our issue of the 17th, we havo been show* another letter purporting to be from Morris A Co., Baltimore, ma king a similar proposition to the one contained in the lotter from Gilbert & Co. Tliore may be Lottery concerns under tho management of men of these names, but we are somewhat inclined to beliove they are fictitious, and theso letters aro all written by somo swindler or company of swindlers to those who are credulous enough to bo decieved by such a shallow artifice. Whether this be so or not the rascality ought to be exposed, and tho public warned against the imposture. The whole system of Lottery schemes is founded upon fraud and deception, and should no more be tolerated by the laws of tho land than any other species of gambling. Tho immense wealth the managers accumulate is the aggregate of the hard earned wages of the laborer and mechanic, for it is well known that the poorer classes are the chief victims of these concerns. They are deceived by the plausible schemes whose client- they are unable to penetrate. They road in the public journals of prises of thousands or dollars being drawn by persons in various “localities," perhaps some individual in their own commu nity is the fortune favored one, and con stantly thinking and wishing they final ly confidently beliove they are destined by one turn of tho wheel to be n.ised from poverty to competency, or even affluence and thoy deny themsolves or their families, the comforts and perhaps the necessaries of life in order to lay up sufficient to buy a ticket which never draws anything hut a blank. We know of an honest hud working man in this place, whose sniftty^as overseer amounted to three hundrou dollars and in one year he invested seventy-five of them in Lottery tickets which of course returned him nothing. When asked why ho allowed himself to be duped, he replied he had thought so much - upon the subject that he was satisfied he would draw a prize, and had even dreamed that he would, a very nat ural re sult of so much meditation. There are thousands of just such cases. We hopo we may bo ablo to induce somo to aban don tho foolish attempt to grow sudden ly rich in this way. We assure them that nearly, if not quite all tho "splen did prizes” aro arranged for a few indi viduals for the purpose of “croating an excitement in certain localities that will tend to increase tho business” of the Lottery managers.
