TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed scie agent, by the
Managers, OF the GRAND NATIONAL
CANAL LOTTERY, and having opened
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 claims which this lottery has to The pat
ronagc OF the citizens Of the United States.
Without dwelling upon the advantages len.
dered to adventures by tie scheme, will
observe, that the object to be promoted by
this lottery, nsnely, the connection Of the
Anacostia and Potomac rivers by Canal,
cannot fail to be considered as truly na,,on6[
by every one who identities The Improvement
OF the Seat of Government selected by the
great Washington, with the honor and grati-
tude OF country enjoying all The blessings
OF freedom through his unparalleled exer
tons sod virtue; who, while jet the metro.
polls was IN embryo, expatiated much on the
Canal, cow IN part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two previous
classes OF this Lottery. To these eonslds.
rations may be added the fact, that this ca
nal, IN passing through The city, approache,
the Capitol thin few yards, and, at this
day, waters large portion of National Re.
serve in this city, enhancing their value, and
conse qgenhy lessening the barthens of the
nation TACT fully eyempiihed by The cir.
cumstancs that the sales Of public property
in the city amour: to more than all the pub.
lie buildings have hitherto cost the nation.
The Canal is so far completed that the
heavy materials for building the Capitol are
row brought in boats, and landed within a
few yards Of the. Capitol, thereby saving
to the nation many shousoasd doHars. and.
when complete dthe advantages derived from
it viii be incalcuisb!e. not only to the citi:
gems OF Washington, but to the notion, as al.
natlr nal property passes the canal toll freel
making the completion of Inc canal truly
national object.
