The following extract says the Baltimore Patriot
is taken from letter just received from one OF Mr.
Jeterson's peighbors and most Intimate friends
An idea very similar to the one contained in the
extract, has been suggested to US by ayencraed and
distinguished friend here;


"The tickets in Mr.. Jeberson's Lottery will
come out for sale on the 9Th April, which is his
birth day. Now my idea 49, that the citizens OF
The United States might relieve him in the most
delicate way, by purchasing up the tickets and burn
ing them.--To make it more t1attering, they might
burn them on the 4th of July, and remit him the
money on the same day. The friends of Mr.. JEFF.
ferson here are delighted with what the people Of
Baltimore are doing in his behalf, and hang their
heads at the backwardness of his own native Vir
ginia''


.nr. Jeferson's Lottery.-We understand, tha,
the Bedford tract will not and cannot properly en-
ter into the Lottery.-A part Of it was decided to
one grandson, The other was understood TO be given
to another, some time before the Lottery Scheme
was projected.-With true hlial piety, the grand.
sons offered to lay the property at the feet of Mr..
Jefferson; but he would not listen to the PROPOSE.
tions.


The reyerson Of the Monticello Estate is to be
thrown into the Lottery. In no other way, we un-
derstand, could the necessary sum have baen raised
without sweeping off all the productive part of Mr.
Jeffersons property-thus leaving him nothing to
support the residue OF his life. The property to be
vested in the scheme has been valued and surveyed
and the details will probably be Immediately laid
before the public. Monticello is to be alieDa,ed
from the family of Thomas Jefferson--unless the
sympathies of Patriotic People should purchase
up the tickets, and supersede the necessity of the
arrangement. Will the People permit it Such is,
we fear, the actual state OF the question.
