chester, made the following Report:
The Committee appointed by the meeting al,
the Capitol on the 9Th day Of June last feeling the
necessity m consequence Of the melancholy event Of
the death OF Thomas eferson, of determining what
disposition ought to be made of the money
subscribed in pursuance of the resolutions of that
meeting, have considered the subject, aud arc OF
opinion, that in accordance with the spirit and in
VI OtyCcAS VI iUdt meeting, and by
virtue OF the third resolution which authorised
this committee 10 appropriate The money arising
from those subscriptions to the relief of Mr. JEFF
ferson, as to them in their discretion should APP
pear best calculated to promote the objects Of that
meeting, they ought now 10 appropriate the mo
ney to the purposes Of his will in providing for
bis surviving daughter and her family.
TO the attainment of this object (conse-
Grated as ii has been by the death bed ankle
ties Of this illusirious patriot,) the committee
doubt not, tha; zeal equal to that which produced
the subscription is stl felt by ALL But, as il is
possible tina, in the change which has been caused
by The death Of the immediate object Of public grstI-
iude, some who have contributed may not ac-
knowledge the power OF the committee to act on
the foregoing opinion, and may think they have the
| right Of retaining the sums contributed, and as
the committee have the fullest confidence that the
appropriation Of the fund in the manner before
mentioned, would not be acceptable TO those
| TO be benefited by Il, unless ii were done
with the free and spontaneous appreciation of each
OF the contributors, il is the opinion Of tho com
mitiee, that each subscriber should have the OPP
ponunily Of exey ing his choice, aud if he will IT,
should have thf anne subscribed by him restored.
With these pressions, the cOmrnitte think il
most proper offer 10 return his subscription 10
