It may be deemed proper for me to set tprit

ronage OF the citizens of the United States.
Without dwelling upon the advantages ten.
dered to Adventures by tie scheme / will
observe. that the object to be promoted by
this lottery, namely, the come cton Of The
Aracostia and Potomac rivers by Canal.
cannot tan TO be considered as lruiy nationn.
by every one who Identifies The in proyehtbt
OF the Seat Of Government, selected BY the
great Washington, with the honor and prsti.
tude OF country enjoying all the blessings
OF freedom through his Unparalleled eyer

polls was in embryo, expatated much III he
Canal. now in part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two pre,uns
classes OF this Lottery. To these console
ratlons may be added the FACT, that this ca
nal, IN passing through The city, approaches
the Capitol within few yards, and, at tins
day, waters large portion of National Re.
serve In this city, enhancing their value. and
consequently lessening the burthens OF the
nation; fact fully exemplIfed by the cir
cumstance that the sales of public property
IN the city amount to more than all the pub.
TIC buildings have hitherto cost the nation.
The Canal is SO far completed that The
heavy materials for building the Capitci are
now brought in boats, and landed within
lew, yards OF the Capitol, thereby saving
to the nation many thousand dollars. and.
when completed the advantages derived from
II VIII be lncalculable, not only TO the citi-
zens OF Washington, but to the nation, as all
natI' nal property passes the canal toll free,
making the completion of The canal truly
national object.
