Agents of the Managers.
The Agents Of the Managers, in offering the
tickets OF the Hcrson Lottery to the public, feel
a confidence, that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child Of the late MIR.
Jefferson and her family, be relieved from the
painful consequences which must inevitably and
speedily follow, if the debts are not discharged.
The Agents having engaged to prepare the tick
etsand to conduct the Jefferson Iotteryhrough-
! out, without compensatlonior services or expen-
ses; and being, at the same time, extremely So
licitous, that the entire amount Of the Scheme
should be speedily raised and paid over to the
| Managers, without the loss or diininuton OF a
cent, they must run no other hazard, than such
as they choose to volunteer to do for the benefit
of the Jefferson Fund; and they therefore pray
that applications for tickets be promptly made,
and that all rcnittances be made, in funds bank
dJ!e at the place where the orders for tickeas are
| 10 be executed AS for credits in this Lottery,
they can give none, and it is presumed that none
will be desired The funds for these tickets
shall be kept sacred, and distinct from all other
funds, and TIE Managers be advised to draw
then from time to time, as they accumulate, to
answer the objects the grant.
The Vendors of tickets throughout the Union,
it is hoped will lend their wiling aid in the sale
of these tickets, and by that means afford an
4, opportunity to the thousands in all parts Of the
country, who arc anxious to testify their respect,
their affection and gratitude to the memory Of
the ustrious dead.
The prizes, it will be perceived, have been
valued under oath by gentlemen appointed by
the Virginia Legislature. All, then, who adven
turc for prizes, viii 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 all who have knowT
or heard of the public or private worth of the
! man who rote Our Declaration ofIndependence of
1t cannot for a moment be supposed, that any
will be found so hcartless, as to say, that sinct
Mr.. Jefferson is dead, they feel themselves undc
no obligations to his descendants, and that altho
they would have been willing to relieve him
S whilst living. they care not what become Of hi
offspring. No: it cannot. A magnanmous,
grateful people will spurn such a sentiment, a
4 utterly unworthy Of them.
The tickets in the jefferson Lottery had bee
prepared in April last; but the offering Of ther
for sale was postponed, at therequest of the Gil
izens of N. York, appointed with the view c
raising funds sufficient to purchase up the I.otte
: ry burn the tickets on the day of our Jubilee
and supersede the drawing of the Lottery alto
gethcr. That noble and heart-cheering pla
failed in part, and the tickets must now therefor
0 be sold, and the Lottery be drawn. 1t is said
however, that the funds raised, and expected t.
i, be raised, in the U. States, (exclusiye OF thos
for tickets will be sufficient to purchase tn
r Monticello Prize, from the fortunate holder @
the ticket drawingit, and thus preserve that rs
o tate for the Descendants of the Author of tn
o Declaration Of independence. We cannot bu
e hope, and believe, that an act so necessary 70
II the honour of the Country, will be accomplish
ed
