The Agents of the Managers, in offering the
tickets Of the jefferson Lottcry 10 the public feel
a confidence, that they will be Immediately pur
chased up, and the only child of die late Mr..
jefferson and her family, be relieved from the
painful clnsequenccs which must inevitably and
speedily follow, it the debts are not discharged.
The Agents having engaged to prepare the tick
ets,and to conduct the Jefferson tcrythrough-
out, without compensation for services or cxpen-
ses; and being, at the same time, extremely So
llcltons, that the entire amount of the Scheme
should be speedily raised and paid over to the
Managers, without the loss or diminution of a
cent, they must run no other hazard, than such
aa 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 rcn'tances be made, in funds BanE-
QhIe 1t the place where the orders for tckeas are
to be executed. As for credits in this Lottery,
they can give none, and it is presumed that none
viii be desired, The funds for these tickets
shall be kept sacred, and distinct from all other
funds, and the Managers be advised 10 draw
I them from time 90 time, as they accumulate, to
answer the objects Of the grant.
The Vcndcri oftickcts throughout the Union,
it is hoped, will lcui their willing aid in the sale
\ Of these tickets, ana by that means afford an
opportunity to the thousands in all parts OF the
country, who are anxious to TESTIFY their respect,
them aiIcction and gratitude to the memory of
tlc iilustriou, dead
The prizes, it will be perceived, have been
valued under oath hy gentlemen appointed BY
the Virginia Legislature All, then, who advcn-
turc for prizes 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 act,iatc all who have known
t,itl,l ,l,c nj
man who wrote our Declaration of Independence.
1t cannot for 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
offspring No: it cannot. A magnanimous, a
grateful people will spurn such sentiment, as
utterly unworthy ot them.
The tickets in the Jefferson Lottery had been
prepared i'll April last; but the offering of them
for sale was postponed, at the request Of the Cit
izcns Of n. York; appointed with the view Of
raising funds sufficient to purchase up the Lotto
~, burn the tickets on the day of our Jubilee,
and sgperscde the drawing Of the Lottery alto
gether, That noble and hcart-chceling plan
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 to
be raised, in the L. States, (exchsive Of those
! for tickcts,) will be sufficient to purchase the
: Monticello Prize, from the fortunate holder Of
the ticket dr.wingit, 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 honourof the Country, will be accomplish
cd
