j. B. YATES,
A. M'lNTYRE,
Agents of the Managers,

The Agents Of the Managers, in offering the
tickets of the hlrson Lottery to the public, feel
Il confidence, that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child Of tile 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 lick
ets,and to conduct the jefferson Lottery'throngh-
out without compensation for services Or cxpcn-
ses; and being, at tne same time, extremely So
licons, that the entire amount Of the Scheme
should be speedily raised and pad over to the
Managers, without the loss or dimlnution Ct Il
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 made, in funds BdHE-
abie at the place where the orders for tickeas are
to be executed. As for credits in this LOTTERY.
they can give none. and is pre- umcd 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 70 draw
| them from time to time, as they accumulate, to
answer the objects ofthe grant.
| The Vendors oftickets 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 i'll all parts of the
country, who are anxious to testify their respect,
their affection and gratitude to the memory of
| the llustrious dead.
The prizes, il will be perceived, have been
valued under oath by gentlemen appointed by
the Virginia Legislature. Az, then, who adv, IL
turc for prizes, will have thesfull value of thcir
money in the chance or chances which they may
purchase. But higher motives than the mere
value of 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 hearlrss, rs to say, that since
MIR. Jefferson is dead, they feel themselves under
no obg atons to his dcscen lants, and that altho'
they would have been wiling to relieve Tin,
whilst living, they care not what become OF his
offspring. No: il cannot. : mugnanimous Il
grateful people will spuln such sentiment, as
utterly unworthy of them.
The tickets in the .Isterson Lo'tery had been
prepared in April last; but the offering Of them
for sale was post poned, at the request Off Git
lzcns of \. York; appointed with the view Of
raising funds suficien, to purchase up the lottc-
~, burn the tickets on the day of our .Iubl"c
and superscdc the drawing of the Lottery alto
gether That noble and heart-chccring plar
failed in part, and the tickets must now therefore
be sold, and the LOTTERY be drawn. II is said
however, that the funds rAi,ad, and expected tc
be raised, in the o. States, (eXrlusivc of those
for tickets,) will be sufficient to purchase the
Monticello Prize, from the fortunate holder o.
the ticket drawingi, and thus pre- serve that Is
tate for the Descendants Of the Author of the
Declaration Of independence. We cannot bu
hope, and believe, that an act necessary fo
the honour Of the Country, will be accomplish
ed.
Until TIE first of October, tickets in the ,Icf
ferSon Lottery will be Sold by the Agents of tht
Managers, at the Scheme Price, (Slo) at the
Offices, at
Norfolk and Richmond Va, Washington q
