The National Gazette, noticing the application
Of Mr.. JEFFERSON to the Legislature OF Virginia,
for permission dispose Of his property by Lottery,
suggests that the Legislature Of that State ought to
force upon him, as free gift, sum Of money suf-
6cent to relieve him from pecunary embarrass-
ment. Without undertaking to decide upon this
proposition for the Legislature of VIRGINIA we can
see very plainly that donation by State, 10 ore Of
its citizens, who has distinguished himself ard doEe
honor to the State in public life, stands upon very
different grounds from the proposition, from :he
same intelligent quarter. to allow pensions. from the
Treasury of the United States to the Ex Presidents.
We do not, indeed, discern any objections to it OF
an insuperabe nature.
we do not know Whit our friends in the Legisa-
ture of Virginia may think proper TO do, in the casc
but we know what we would be glad to join in doing
ourselves, if the public favored the suggestion. We
would propose subscription, to be entered into in
all parts of the country, by individuals, according to
their means or inclination, to raise stated amount

The Necessity which has led to an application for
Legislative assistance, to enable MIR. Jefferson to
dispose Of his property by way Of lottery, cannot
but produce deep regret in every correct and we'll
disciplined nina All must regret the embartass-
ments Of this able and venerable patriot all must
feel desire that the brow which has been fnrrowed
by his country's cares and the head which has been
silvered with the frost of ninety winters, should
be smoothed aud pillowed in their decline Per
haps the most dignihed course on the part Of our
fellow citizens would be to raise sum which would
amply recompense Mr.. Jefferson for his property,
without having recourse 20 any Of the ordinary
principles Of bargain and sale, and then allow him
the privilege of living on it, and of willing away this
property to the Virginia University, or any other
institution he may select. Il should never be suf
tered that, at his advanced age, he should be re-
moved from his usual walks, from the room to
which he has become SO habituated that separation
would be like rending some of the ties which hold
him to exisence-from the elbow chair in which
he has reposed, and the scenery which has every
morning opened itself to his contempation--but,
above all, from those habits of hospitality which
have made him, in his seclusion, less the object
Of his country's soicitude than he was in the day
Of his power
Should this suggestion be in unison with the feel
ngs and wishes of fellow citizens, the best mode
would be to select some efficient organ such the
mayors of our cities, and to convey through them
the free will offerings made for this generous pur
pose.

Although we knew that Mr.. JEFFERSON had ex-
pended both his time and fortune in promoting ev-
cry measure calculated 10 advance the interest OR
honor of his country-yc,, we were not aware that
his dsinteresed patriotism had brought him TO the
verge Of insolvency. From the proceedings, how
ever, Of the Virginia Legislature this appears to be
the case A bill has been introduced into that body,
to elbow this political Patriarch the privilege OF dis
posing of his estate by lottery, at fair valuation,
that an equivalent may be procured for that, which
if sold by The ordinary process, would be sacrificed.
We presume no objection will be urged against this
application, but the establishment OF precedent.
But this can be no serious obstacle surely, for in
the case of Laayette the character and services of
Mr.. Jefferson preclude the operation of the prece
dent. We certainly do not profess to believe in the
