Agents of the Managers.

Agents ot the Managers.
The Agents Of the Managers, in offering the
tickets Of the jefferson L0ftery to the public, feel
confidence, that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child OF ehc 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 til. tick
cts,and to conduct the Jefferson Lottcry!through-
out, without compensation for services or expen-
SEES; and being, at the same time, extremely So
lictous, that the entire amount of the Scheme
should be speedily raised and paid over to the
! Managers, without the loss or dimInution OF n
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 rcmittanccs be madt, III fund, B1ab.
able at tho place where the orders for tckeas are
10 be executed. As for credits il this Lottery
they can give none, and is pre- c,umed 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 10 draw
them from time to time, as they accumulate, to
answer the objects ofthc grant.
The Nendcrs oftickcts throughout tue Union,
it is hoped, will lend their willing aid III the sale
Of these tickets, and bv that means afford An
opportunity to the thousands in all parts of the
country who are anxious 10 testify t!ier respect,
their affection and gratitude to the memory Of
the illustlious dead.
The prizes it will be perceived, have been
valued under oath by gentlemen appointed by
the Virginia Legislature. All, then, who advctl-
ture for prizes, will have The full value Of thcr
money in the chance or chances which they may
purchase. But higher motives than the mere
valur oi prizes will actuatc all who have known
or heard of the public or private worth OF the
man who wrote our Declaration Of Independence.
1t cannot for moment be- supposed, that amy
will be found SO hearless, as to say, that since
Mr. Jefferson is dead, they feel themselves under
no obligations to his descendants, and that altho'
they would have lee willing to relieve him,
whilst living, they care not what become Of his
offspring. No: it cannot. A magnanlmous, a
grateful people will spurn uch sentiment, as
utterly unworthy OF them
he tickets in the jefferson Loftery had been
prepared in April last; but the Offering Of then,
for sale was postponed, at the request Of the Git
izens OF N York; appointed with the view OF
raising funds sufficient to purchase up the I.ottc.
ry, burn the tickets on the day of our jubilee,
: and superscdc the drawing Of the Lottery alto
gethcr. That noble and heart-cheering plar
failed in part and the tickets must now therefore
) be sold, and the Lottery be drawn. II is said
however, that the funds raised, and expected tc
be raised. in the y. States, Exclusive OF those
for tickets,) will be sufficient to purchase the
Monticello Prize from the fortunate holder q
the ticket dIawingit, and thus preserve that Es
tate for the Descendants of the Author of thc
Declaration of Independence. We cannot bu
hope, and believe, that an act so necessary fo
the honour Of the Country, will be accomplish
ed.

; terson Lottery will be sold by the Agents of tht
Managers, at the Scheme Price, (S10) at thci
