TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole agent, by the
Managers, OF the GRAND NATIONAL
CANAL LOTTERY, and having opened
Lottery Office, two doors east OF Dsvis's Ho-
tel, Pennsylvania avenue, Washington city,
il may be deemed proper for me 10 set forth
the claims which this lottery has TO The pat.
ronage of tbs citizens of the United States.
Without dwelling upon the advantages TEN
dered to adventures by the scheme, will
observe. that the object 10 be promoted by
this lottery, nahely. the connection Of the
ARacost!a aud Potomac rivers by Canal.
cannot fail TO be considered ~ truly national
BY every one who identities the Improvement
Of The Seat OF Government, selected by the
great Washington, with the honor and graft.
iude Of country enjoying all the blessings
Of freedom through his unparalleled exer
lions ADD virtue who, while vet the metro
polls was in embryo, cxpatiated much on the
Canal now 10 part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two previous
classes of this Lottery. 70 these conside-
rations may be added the feet, that this ca
R.l, in passing through the city, approaches
the Capitol within few yards, end, at this
day, waters large portion Of National Re-
serve in this city, enhancing their Value, and
consequently iessening the burthens OF the
nation fact fully exemplihed by the cir
cumstance that the sales Of public property
in The city amount TO more than all the pub
lie buildings have hitherto cost the nation.
The Canal is so far completed that the
heavy materials for bailding the Capitol are
now brought in boats, and landed within a
lew yards Of the. Capitol, thereby saving
to the nalsoa many thousand dollars, and.
when completed The advantages derived from
gems Of Washington, but to the Notion, as all
natI nal property passes the canal toll free,
making the completion CT the canal truly
nationa! object.
