Agents OF the Managers
The Agents of the Managers, in offering the
tickets Of the Jefferson Lottery to the public feel
confidence, that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child of the late Mr..
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 tn tick
cts and to conduct the Jefferson tterylthrough-
out, without compensation for 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 diminution 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 remttances b. made, in funds Bank-
able at the place where the orders for tickeas are
to be executed. AS for credits in this Lottery,
they can give none, and it is pre- sumed that none
will be desired. The funds for these tickets
shall be kept sacred, and distinct from all other
funds, and the Managers be advised to draw
them 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 willing aid in the sale
Of these tickets, and by that means afford an
opportunity to the thousands iii all parts of the
country, VIII are alhlOuS W teSliy tllclr respect
their affection and gratitude to the memory of
4 the illustrious dead.
The prizes, it will be perceived, have been
valued under oath by gentlemen appointed by
the Virginia Legislature. All, then, who adven-
ture for prizes, will have the full value of their
money i'll the chance or chances which they may
purchase. But higher motives than the mere
value of prizes will actuate all who have known
or heard of the public or private worth of the
man who wrctc our Declaration Of Independence.
It cannot for moment bc supposed, that any
will be found so heartless, to say, that since
Mr., Jefferson is dead, they feel themselves under
no obligations to his descendants and that altho'
they would have been willing to relieve him,
whilst living, they care not what become of his
offspring. No: it cannot. A magnanirnous, a
grateful people will spurn such sentiment, as
utterly Unworthy of them.
The tickets in the Jefferson Lottery had been
prepared in April last; but the offering of them
for sale was postponed, at the request of the Cit
liens OF N. York; appointed with the view Of
raising funds sufficient to purchase up the Lotto
ry, burn the tickets on the day of our Jubilee,
and supersedc the drawing of the Lottery alto
gether. That noble and heart.cheering plan
failed in part, and the tickets must therefore
be sold, and the Lottery be drawn. 1t is said,
however, that the funds raised, and expected to
be raised, in the U. States, Exclusive of those
for tickets,) will be sufficient to purchase the
Monticello Prize, from the fortunate holder OF
the ticket drawingit, and thus preserve that Es.
tate for the Descendants of the Author of the
Declaration of Independence. We cannot but
hope, and believe, that act so necessary for
the honour of the Country, will be accomplish.
