Mr.. JEFFERSON.

I'VE have learned from source entirely to be re.
lied on, that MIR. JEFFERSON left Win, in which
he gave all his property, +" the legal estate and
actual possession to his grand son Thomas Jefer-
son Randolph, Mr.. Trist gentleman who mar.
ried one Of his grand daughters, and Mr.. Car
rr one Of his neghbors, in trust for the sole use
and benefit of his daughter, Mrs. Randolph, and
appointed his grand son Thomas Jefferson RAN
dolph his sole Executor. We have thought it pro-
per TO stale these facts tina, those generous citizens
who have stepped forward TO relieve the good man
from his embarrassments, may know to whom to
send their contributions, and to suggest 10 them the
propriety Of besowing their donations in the same
language Of MIR. Jeiferson's Will, viz: TO Thorn
as Randolph in trust for the sole use and benefit
Of Mrs. Randolph his MOTHER" or for the benefit
Of MIR. Jeferson's credi,ors-and Thomas ]. Ran
dolphs whole estate being, we understand,
pledged for the payment Of his grand fathers debts
there can be no doubt OF the moneys being proper
ly applied. We do not hesitate to say, that If it
had pleased Divine Providence to have spared our
amenied Jefferson few months longer, he would
have had the satisfaction to have seen all his debts
paid by his fellow citizens. 1t is no less their duty
sure it is no less their inclination to do il
now. bait. enron
A timely incident We are informed by the Re-
corder, that the clause OF Mr.. TIL ]. Randolph's
letter, which we published on Monday, referring to
the kindness afforded to Mr.. Jefferson in his last mo-
rnents, by the New York Committee was elected by
the following Circumstance. The Recorder receiv-
ed Information that Mr. Jefferson being then in decli-
hing health, was perplexcd and harrassed by num-
Der Of memorable creditors. whose demands, though
sruerally small, Mr.. Jefferson utterly unable to
meet. The consciousness OF this fact, and the in
creased opportunities Of these creditors, sisiby
wore upon the health and spirits OF the sage. But
no sooner did knowledge of the fact reach the
ears Of the Recorder, than with his wonted kindness
and aacri,y, he had an interview with Mr.. McIn-
Tyre, OF the contractors for the Jefferson Lotto.

Immediately relieved him from the pressing cxigen.

remittance was precious boon, in trying moment

The Government of the United States was or

Inauguration of General Washington, as President,
March d, 1889, more than thirty seuen years ago.
Since tina. time, up to the 9TH July, 1926, but one
of the Presidents of the United States had died.
MIR. john Adams, Mr.. Jefferson, Mr. Madison,
Mr.. Monroe, and Mr.. John Quincy Adams on that
