Agents of the Managers.


The Agents of the Managers. in offering the
tickets of the Jefferson Lottery to the public, feel
A confidence that they will be Immediately pur-
chased up, and the only child of the late Mr.
jefferson and her family, be relieved from the
painful consequences which must inevitably and
spcedily follow, if the debts are not discharged.
The Agents having engaged to prepare the tick
ets,and to conduct the Jefferson Lotterythrough-
out, without compensation for services or expeh-
ses and being, at the same time, extremely So
licitous, that the entire amount OF the Scheme
should be speedily raised and paid over to the
Managers, without the loss diminuton 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 Balh-
able at the place where the orders for uckeas 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 draw
them from time to time, as they accumulate, to
answer the objects ofthe grant
| The Vcnders oftickets throughout the Union,
it IS hoped, will lend their willing aid in the sale
of these tickets, and by that means afford an
i 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 adven-
ture for prizes, will have the full value OF their
money in the chance or chances which they may
purchase Rut higher motives than the mere
value of prizes will actuate all who have known

man who wrote our Declaration ofIndependence. of
It cannot for a 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 atno'
they would have been willing to relieve nm
whilst living, they care not what become OF his
offspring. No: it cannot magnanlmous,
grateful people will spurn such scntilnen1 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 .lie w.
izens of N York; appointed with the view OF
raising funds sufficient to purchase up the l-otte-
rv. burn the tickets on the day of our Jubilee,
and supersede the drawing of the Lottery alto
4 gether That noble and heart-chcering plan
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 to
be raised, in the U. States, lexcluslye OF those
for tickets will be sufficient to purchase the
Monticello Prize, from the fortunate holder o
the ticket drawngit 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 fol
the honour of the Country, will be accomplish
ed.
