by every one who Identifies the Improvement
OF the Seat OF Government, selected by tie
great Washington, with the honor and graft.
tude OF country enjoying all the blessings
OF freedom through bis unparalleled exer
lions and virtue who, while yet tie metro.
polls was in embryo, eXpatated much on The
Canal, now in part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two previous
classes of this Lottery. TO these console
rations may be added the fact, that this ca
nal, in passing through the city, approaches
the Capitol within few yards. and, OF this
Gay, waters large portion OF National Re-
serve IN this city, enhancing their yaue, and
consequently lessening the burthens of tie
nation ; fact fully exempli6ed by the cir
cumstance that the sales of public property
IN the city amount TO more than all the pub.
nc buildings have hitherto cost the nation.
ne Canal is so far completed that The
heavy materials for building the Capitol are
now brought in boats, and landed within a
few yards Of the. Capitol, thereby saving
to the nation many thousand dollars and.
when completed the advantages derived from
1t will be incalculable. not only 10 The citi-
zens OF Washington, bet to the nation. as all
matte nal property passes the canal toll free,
making the completion of the canal truly
national object.
