this lottery, namely, the connection of the
Anacosta and Potomac rivers by Canal,
cannot fail 10 be considered as truly national
by every one who identifies the Improvement
OF the Seat Of Government, selected by the
great Washington, with the honor and graft
tude OF country enjoying all the blessings
OF freedom through his unparalleled exer
lions and virtue; who, While yet the metro.
polls was III embryo, eypatiateG much on ne
Canal, now in part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two previous
classes OF this Lottery. To these conssde.
rations may be added the fact, that this ca
nal, in passing through the city, approaches
the Capitol within few yards, and. al this
day, waters large portion Of National Re.
serve in this city, enhancing their value, and
consequently Iessening the burthens OF he
nation; fact fully exempli6ed by the cir
constance that the sales Of public property
IN the city amount to more than all the pub
lie buildings have hitherto cost the nation.
ne Canal is so far completed that the
heavy materials for Luilding the Capitol are
now brought in boats, and landed within a
lew yards Of the. Capitol, thereby saving
10 the nation many thousand dolf1rs. and
when completed the advantages derived from
it will be incalculab!e, not only to the citi.
zens OF Washington, but to the nation as all
national property passes the canal toll free.
making the completion of the canal trElv y
national object.
