The agents of the managers, in Offering the
tickets OF the Jefferson Lottery to the public,
feel a confidence, that tho will be Immediately
purchased up, and the only child of the late
Mr.. Jefferson aud her family be relieved from
the painful consequences which must inevitably
and speedily follow, If the debts are not dis
charged. The agents having engaged to pre-.
pare the tickets, and to conduct the Jefferson
Lottery throughout, without compensation for
services or expenses, and being at the same
time extremely solicitous, tbatth entire amount
of the Scheme should be speedily raised and
paid over to the Managers, without the loss OF
dImlnuton of cent, they must run no other
hazard, than such as they choose to do for the
benefit OF the Jefferson Fund; and they there.
fore pray that applications for tickets be prompt.
y made, and that all remittances be made IN
funds Bankabte at the place where the orders
TOR tickets are to be executed. As for credits in
this Lottery, they will give none, and it is pre-.
sumed that none will be desired The funds
for these tickets shall be kept sacred, aud dis
tinct from all other funds, and the Managers be
advised from time to time TO draw them AS they
accumulate to answer the objects of the grant.
The Vendors of Tickets throughout the Uni
on, it is hoped, will lend their willing aid in the
sale OF these tickets, and by that means, afford
convenient opportunity to the thousands in all
parts OF the country who are 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 ven.
ture tor prizes, will have the full value of their
money lnthe chance or chances which they NAV
purchase, But higher motives than the mere
value OF prizes will actuate all who have known
or heard of the public and private worth ofthe
man who wrote our Declaration Of lndepep-
dence. 1t cannot for a moment be supposed
he D.,
since Mr.. Jefferson is dead, they feelthemselyes
under no obligations to his descendants, and
that although they would have been wiling to
relieve INN, whist living, they care not what
may become OF bis offspring. Mo- it cannot.
A magnanimous, grateful people, will spurn
such sentiment as unworthy Of them.
The tickets in the jefferson Lottery had been
prepared in April last; but the offering ofthem
tor sale was postponed at the request of the
Committee of the Citizens of New.York. an
pointed with the view OF raising funds sufficient
to purchase up The Lottery, burn the tickets on
the day of our Jubilee, and supersede the
drawing of the Lottery altogether. That noble
and heart-cheerng plan failed in part, and the
tickets must now therefore be sold, and the lot
terry drawn. 1t is said, however, that the funds
ra'seo, and expected to be raised in the United
States, (excluslve of those for tickets will be

from the fortunate holder of the ticket draw
ing 1t, and thus preserve. that Estate for the
Descendants OF the Author of the Declaration
OF independence. We cannot but hope and be-
lieve, that an act so necessary for the honor of
the country will be accomplished.

Jefferson Lottery will be sold by the AGENTS Of
the Managers at the Scheme Price (Sio) at
