twelve long months we have head of nothing but

80 many millions OF eyes; TO call down blessings

MR.. JEFFERSON.


Circumstances have come to our knowledge, which
we deem it our duty to lay frankly before the pub
lie. They appeal powerfully to the best sympahes
OF grateful people.
A Correspondent from Washington Of the r. l.
American, states that g the Bedford tract' will be
thrown into the Lottery; and he also states that
IT is Mr.. Jefferson's wish to preserve Monticello
with its furniture, library, apparatus, cabinet &C.
but this too will be disposed OF should the other
property upon valuation be found inadequate to pay
his debts subject however, TO his life estate.'
| With such statements afoat and amid variety
OF erroneous impressions under which the public
mind labors we think it right to state the following
facts, which we have CLEANED from an authentic
| source.
| The Bedford estate of Mr.. Jefferson was derived
from his wife he has only liIe-estate in it, with
power by deed or will to convey it in such portions
among her descendants as he might choose One
fourth is IN the possession of his grandson Francis
Eppes. Ihree-fourhs were conveyed TO another
grandson, Thomas J. Randolph, in whose name
Il now stands, and by whom it has been pledged
Tor the debts OF Mr. Jefferson II has been offered
Tor sale at fair price for their payment II ready
to be sold at any moment that such q price could
be obtained, and indeed would have been sacrificed
at any moment sooner than Mr.. Us name should
nave oeen atained by the imputation of bad faith
by any failure to discharge any Just debt
| Could enough have been saved. inclusive of The
bedford estate, to have ensured the comfort of Mr.
u during the remnant of his venerable lie, his
dwelling, his favorite Monticello, would not have
been offered tor sale in any form whatsoever. But
the selection was inevitable. 1t was The least OF
evils. His comfort was the greatest object: and
this plan alone could preserve him from actual
want. 10 have thrown the appraisement entirely
upon productive property (incuding that of his
chnoreh) would have so completely exhausted it,
as 10 have left him the cheerless and impoyeri,bed
tenant OF empty walls. The reyersion of Monti.

was very strong among US, by sickness; it being
an extreme hot time by thunder weather and un.

we had great thunder storme in the night which
at Dorchester slew 8 oxen in the field without any
remarkable sgne what it was that killed them.''
From that time forward great scknesse epi

/" This visitation OF God was exceeding strange,

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT.

Il has long been imagined that the laboripr clas
sss could not sustain themselves under the weight
Of their daily employmens, and especially in foun-
dries and large manufacturing establishments
where they are much exposed to heat, and breathe
a confined atmosphere, without the regular use Of
ardent spirits.-The results of an imporlan. expert
ment made during the last season, by Mr.. James
z. Ailalre, and by him communicated to the board.

The following extract says the Baltimore Patriot
is taken from letter just received from one OF Mr.
Jeterson's peighbors and most Intimate friends
An idea very similar to the one contained in the
extract, has been suggested to US by ayencraed and
distinguished friend here;
"The tickets in Mr.. Jeberson's Lottery will
come out for sale on the 9Th April, which is his
birth day. Now my idea 49, that the citizens OF
The United States might relieve him in the most
delicate way, by purchasing up the tickets and burn
ing them.--To make it more t1attering, they might
burn them on the 4th of July, and remit him the
money on the same day. The friends of Mr.. JEFF.
ferson here are delighted with what the people Of
Baltimore are doing in his behalf, and hang their
heads at the backwardness of his own native Vir

the Bedford tract will not and cannot properly en-
ter into the Lottery.-A part Of it was decided to

to another, some time before the Lottery Scheme
was projected.-With true hlial piety, the grand.
sons offered to lay the property at the feet of Mr..
Jefferson; but he would not listen to the PROPOSE.
tions.
The reyerson Of the Monticello Estate is to be
thrown into the Lottery. In no other way, we un-
derstand, could the necessary sum have baen raised
without sweeping off all the productive part of Mr.
Jeffersons property-thus leaving him nothing to
support the residue OF his life. The property to be
vested in the scheme has been valued and surveyed
and the details will probably be Immediately laid
before the public. Monticello is to be alieDa,ed
from the family of Thomas Jefferson--unless the
sympathies of Patriotic People should purchase
up the tickets, and supersede the necessity of the
arrangement. Will the People permit it Such is,
we fear, the actual state OF the question.
