Agents fthe Managers
The Agents of the Managers, in offering the
tickets of the LGcrson Lottery to the puhlic feel
a confidence, that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child of thc 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 the tick
cts, and to conduct the Jefferson Lotterylthrough
out, without compensation for services or expcn-
ses; and being, at the same time, extremely So
| licitous that the entire amount OF the Scheme
should be speedily raised and paid over 10 the
i Managers, without the loss or dinnution 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 Bdnh-
able at the place where the orders for tickeas are
| to be executed. AS for credits in this Lottery,
they can give none, and it 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 diaw
them from time to time, as they accumulate, 70
answer the objects ofthe grant.
| The Nendrrs Of tickets throughout the Union,
it is hoped, will lend their willing aid in the sale
of these tickets and by that means afford IN
opportunity to the thousands in all parts OF the
country, who are anxious to testify Their respect,
their affection and gratitude to tile memory OF
the illustrious 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 prizes, will have the full value OF their
money in the chance OF. 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 wrote our Declaration oflndepcndence.
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 hin,
whilst living, they care not what become OF his
offspring. No: it cannot A magnanimous, a
grateful people will spurn such a sentiment, as
utterly unworthy of them.
The tickets in the jefferson Lottery had been
prepared in April last; but the offering OF them
for sale was postponed, at the request OF the Cat,
izcns of N. York; appointed with the view OF
raising funds suifcicAt to purchase up the Lotto
rv, burn the tickets on the day of our Jubilee,
and superscdc the drawing of the Lottery alto

failed in part, and the tickets must now therefore

however, that the funds raised, and expected to
be raised, in the U. States, (excusivc OF those
: for tckets,) will be sufficient to purchase the
Monticello Prize, from the fortunate holder OF
the ticket drawing it, and thus preserve that Es-
= tate for the Descendants of the Author OF the
Declaration of Independence. We cannot but
