ned, at the request of the Committee of the Citizens Of
New York, appointed with the view of raising funds sut
cent to purchase up the Lottery, burn the Tickets on the
day OF our Jubilee, and superede Il drawing of the Lot
terry altogether. This noble and hearchecrng plan failed
in part and the tickets must now therefore be Sold and
the Lottery be drawn

to be raised IN the United States Exclusive of those for

from the fortunate holder of the ticket drawing it, and thus
preserve that Estate for the Descendants of the Author of
the Declaration OF Independence. We cannot but hope
and believe that act necessary for the honor of The
