feel confidence, that they viii be immediately
purchased mp, and the only child Of the late
Mr.. Jefferson aud her family, be relieved from
the painful consequences Which must inevitably
and speediiy follow. If the debts are not dis
charged. The agents having engaged to pre-.
pare the tickets, and TO conduct the Jefferson
Lottery throughout, without compensation for
services or expenses. and being at the same
time extremely solici,ous, ttatthe entire amount
of the Scheme should be speedily raised and
paid over to the Managers, without the loss or
dmnution of cent, they must run no other
hazard than such as they choose to do tor the
benefit of the Jefferson FuLd; aud they there
fore pray that applications for tickets be prompt
Nv made and that all reInittanoes be made in
funds Bankabis atthe place where the orders
for tickets are TO be executed As for credits IN
this Lottery, they will give none, and it is pre-
.umed that none will be desired. The funds
| for these tickets shall be kept sacred, aud dis
| tipcttron all other funds, ADD the Managers be
| advised from time to time TO draw them as they
| accumulate TO answer the objects of the grant
The Vendors Of Tickets throughout the uni-
on, it is hoped, will lend their willing aid in the
sale of these tickets, and by that means, afford
| convenient opportunity TO the thousands IN all
p.,rss of the country who are anxious TO testify
the;r respect, their aHeet4on and gratitude 10
the nsemory of the illustrious dead.
The prizes, it will be perceived, have been
valued Under oath by gentlemen appointed by
the Virginia Legislature All, then. who ven
tare for prizes, will have the full value Of their
money in the chance or chances which they may
purchase. But higher motives than the mere
| value of prizes will actuate ali who have known
| or heard of the public and private worth OF the
| man who wrote our Declaration Of ludepen-
| dence. 1t cannot for moment be supposed,
that any will be found heartless as 10 say, that
since Mr. Jefferson is dead, they teelthemseives
under no obligations TO his descendants, and
that although they would have been wiling to
relieve him. whilst living, they care not what
NAV become of his offspring. No. II cannot.
| A msgnanlmous, gratetui peopie, WIZ sPurn
| such sentiment AS unworthy OF ,hem.
| The tickets in the Jefferson Lottery bad been
prepared in April Iast but the offering ofthem
| for sale was postponed at the request OF the
| Committee of The Citizens OF New-York, ap.
| pointed with the view OF raising funds sufficient
| 20 purchase tp he l.ottery, burn the tickets on
| the dav of our Jubilee, and supersede the
drawing of tile Lottery altogether That noble
and heart.cheering plan failed IN part, and the
tickets must nov therefore be sold, and the lot
| terry drawn. 1t is said, however, that the funds
raised, and expected to be salsed IN the United
| States, Exclusive of those for TICKETS wlii be
| sufficient TO purchase the Monticello Prize,
| from the fortunate holder OF the ticket draw
| ing it, and thus preserve that Estate Tor the
| Descendants OF the Author OF the Declaration
| of Independence We cannot but hope and be-
| lieve that an act so necessary tor the honor OF
| the country will be accomplished
| Until the the Ist Of October, tickets in the
| Jefferson Lottery will be sold by the Agents OF
the Managers at the Scheme Price (Sio,) at
their Offices at
