Agents of the Managers
The Agents Of the Managers, in offering the
tickets of the jefferson Lottery to the public, feel
a confidence, that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child of die 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 tn. tick
etsand to conduct the Jefferson Lottery through
out without compensation for services or cNpcn-
ses; and being, at the same time, extremely So
licto,is, that the entire amount OF tho Scheme
should be speedily raised and paid over to the
Managers, without the loss or dininution 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 renttances be made, in funds Baah-
ALE at the place where the orders for tckcas are
to be executed. As for credits in this Lottery,
they can give none, and i is presumed 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
n'wer the objects ofthe grant.
The Vendors of tickets throughout the Union,
it is hoped, will lend thelr willing aid in the sale
of these tickets, and by that means afford an
opportunity to the thousands in all parts OF the
country who are anxious to testify their respect,
their affection and gratitude to the memory Of
the illustrlous dead.
The prizes, it will be perceived, have been
valued under oath by gentlemen appointed by
the Virginia Legislature. All, then, who alven-
ture for prizes, will have the full value OF their
money in the chance CT chances which they may
purchase. But higher motives than the mere
value of prizes VIII actuate all who have known
or heard of the public or private worth of the
man who rote our Declaration Of oflndepcndencc
It cannot for moment be supposed, that any
will be found so hcartless, as to say, that since
Mr.. Jefferson is dead, they feel themselves under
no obligations to his descendants, aud that altho
they would have been wiling TO relieve hta,
whilst living, they care not what become Of hls
offspring No: it cannot. inagnanmous, q
grateful people will spurn such a sentiment, as
utterly unworthy of them.
The tickets in the L.Gcrsoa Lottery had beer
prepared in April last; but the offering Of then
for sale was postponed, at the request of the Cit
2ens of n. YorE appointed with the view q
raising funds sufficient 10 purchase UP the iottc
ry, burn the tickets on the day OF our jubilee,
and supersedc the drawing of the Lottery alto
Eether. That noble and hcart-checfng plar
failed in part, and the tickets must now therefore
be sold, and the Lottery be drawn 1t is said
} however, that the funds raised, and expected Il
: be raised, in tle L, States, (cXclusvc Of thost
S for tickets will be sufficient to purchase the
: Monticello Przc, from the fortunate holder o
the ticket drawingit, and thus preserve that rs
tate for the Descendants of the Author of th'
: Declaration of independence. We cannot bu
hope, and believe, that an act SO necessary TO
the honour of the Country, will be accomplish
cd.
Until the first Of October tickets in the Je.i
