TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole agent, by III;
Managers, Of the GRAND NATIONAL /
CANAL LOTTERY, and having openeda
Lottery Office, two doors east Of Davis's Ho.
tel, Pennsylvania avenue, Washington city,
it may be deemed proper for me TO set forth
the clains which this lottery has to the pat
ronage of the citizens of the United States,
Without dwelling upon the advantages ten,
dered 10 adventures by the scheme, will
observe, that the object TO be promoted by
tins lottery, namely, the connection OF the
Anacostia and Potomac rivers by Canal,
cannot fail TO be considered as truly nqtiOnGi
by every one who identifies the improvement.
OF the Seat of Government, selected by the
great Washington, with the homer and graIl,
tude Of a country enjoying all the blessings |
OF freedom through his unparalleled eXeT
tons and virtue who, while yet the metro
polls was in embryo, expatated much On the /
Canal now in part completed BY moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two preVCui
classes of this Lottery. To these conSIte-
rations may be added the fact, that this ca
nal, in passing through The city, approaches ]
the Capitol within few yards, and, at tbs
day, waters large portion Of National he:
serve in this city, enhancing their value, arc
consequently lessening the burthens OF the /
nation fact fully eXemplihed by the clT'
cumstance that the sales of public property
in the city amount 10 more than all The pub
lie buildings have hitherto cost the nation,
The Canal is so far completed that Inc
heavy materials for building the Capitol are
now brought in boats, and landed within
few yards OF the, Capitol, thereby SAVING
TO the nation many thousand dollars, and,
when completed The advantages derived from
it will be incaIculable, not only 10 The cItl.
zens of Washington, but TO the nation as all 4
national property passes the canal toll fire.,
making the completion of the canal hu'y T
national object.
