Agents Of the Managers.
The Agents of the Managers, i'll offering the
tickets Of the jefferson Lotfery to the public, feel
a confidence, that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child of thc late sir.
Jefferson and her family, be relieved from the
painful consequences which must inevitably and
speedily follow, il the debts are not discharged.
The Agents having engaged to prepare the tick
ets,and to conduct the Jefferson Lottery through
out, without compensation for services or expen-
ses; and being, at the same time, extremely So
licitous, that the entire amount of the Scheme
should be speedily raised and paid over to the
Managers, without the loss or diminution Of
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 remittances be made, in funds Bank
able at the place where the orders for tckeas are
to be executed. AS for credits in this Lottery
they can give none, and il 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
answer the objects ofthc grant.
The Vendors of tickets throughout the Union,
it is hoped, will lend their 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 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 adven-
ture for prizcs will have the full value of their
money in the chance or chances which they may
purchase. But higher motives than the mere
value of prizes will actuate all who have known
or heard of the public or private worth of the
man who arote our Declaration of Independence.
1t cannot for a moment be supposed that any
will be found so heartless, as to say, that since
Mr. Jefferson is dead, they feel themselves under
no obligations to his descendants, and that altho'
they would have been willing to relieve him,
whilst living, they care not what become of his
liispring. No: it cannot A magnanimous, a
grateful people will spurn such sentiment, as
utterly unworthy of them.
The tickets in the JeGcrson Lottery had been
prepared in April last; but the offering of them
for sale was postponed, at the request ofthe Cit
lzens OF NJ York; appointed with the view of
raising funds sufficient TO purchase UP the Lotte-
~, burn the tickets OIL the day of our Jubilee,
and supersede the drawing of the Lottery alto
gether That noble and heart-cheering plan
failed i'll part, and the tickets must now therefore
be sold, and the Lottery be drawn. 1t is said,
however, that the funds raised, and expected to
be raised, in the U. States Exclusive of those
for tickets,) will be sufficient to purchase the
Monticello Prize, from the fortunate holder of
the ticket drawngit, and thus preserve that Es-
tate for the Descendants of the Author of the
Declaration of independence. We cannot but
hope, and believe, that an act so necessary for
the honour of the Country, will be accomplish
ed.
