Agents OF the Managers


The Agents of the Managers, in offering the
tickets OF the Jeferson Lottery to the public, feel
confidence, that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child af ehe late MIR
Jefferson and her family, be relieved from the
painful consequences which must inevitably ard
speedily follow, If the debts are not discharged.
The Agents having engaged to prepare the tick
ets,and to conduct the Jefferson erylthroush
out, without compensation for services or expcn-
ses and being, at tne same time, extremely So
iictous that the entire amount OF the Scheme
should be speedily raised and paid over TO the
| Managers, without the loss or dlinnuuon 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 reniittanccs be made, in funds Bdnh-
ablc at the place where the orders for tickeas are
to be executed. As for credits in this Lottery,
thcv 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 draw
them from time to time, as they accumulate, to
answer the objects Of the 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 in all parts OF the
country, who are anxious to testify Their respect,
their affection and gratitude to the 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 ai,cn.
turc for prizes, will have tho full value OF their
money in the chance or 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 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


ffsprng. No: it cannot. magnanmous, a
grateful people will spurn such sentiment, as
Gstcrly unworthy of them.


| he tickets in tn, J.6trSca Lottery had been
prepared in April last; but the offering OF them
for sale was postponed, at the request Of the Cit


yens 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 supersede the drawing of the Lottery alto
gcther That noble and heart-cheerng plar
failed in part, and the tickets must now therefore
Be sold, and the Lottery be drawn. 1t is said
however, that the funds raised and expected tt
be raised, in the u. States, (exclusive Of those
{ Cor ,icacts,) viii be sufficient to purchase ,hs
II Monticello P"ize, from the fortunate holder o
,ir tic,.et drqwingit, and thus preserve that rs
/. ,te tar the Descendants of the Author of the
Uetaraton OF Independence. We cannot hu
hIpe, and believe, that an act so necessary TO
the honour of the Country, will be accomplish
ed.
