TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole agent, by the
Managers. OF the GRAND NATIONAL
CANAL LOTTERY, and having opened a
Lottery Office, two doors east oil, Davis Ho-
tel, Pennsylvania avenue, Washington city,
it may be deemed proper for me to sci !osth
the claims which this lottery has to HE pat
ronage of the citizens of the United States.
Without dwelling upon the advantages teh-
dered 10 adventures by the scheme, ] will
observe, that the object 10 be promoted By
this lottery, na.tely. the connection Of the
Anacostia and Potomac rivers by Canal.
cannot fail to be considered as truly national
by every one who identities the improvement
OF the Seat Of Government, selected by the
great Washington, with The honor and graft
tude OF a country enjoying aIiihe blessings
OF freedom through his unparalleled exer
lions aod virtue /; who, While get the metro
polls was in embryo, eapatia!ed much on the
Canal. now in part completed by moneys
raised Iro,D the drawing o! the two previous
classes .! ibis Lottery. 10 these conside-
ratiops may be addeu the fact, that this Ca
nal, in passing through The city, approaches
the Capitol within few yards, and, at this
day. waters large portion Of National Re
serve in this city, enhancing their value, and
consequently lessening the burthens OF the
nation q fact fully exemp!ihed by The cir
cunstance 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 fer building the Capitol are
now brough! in boats, and landed within a
few yards OF the. Capitol, thereby saving
10 the aaiscn many thousand dollars, and.
when completed the advantages deriVedfrom
il NIL le incalculabie, otonly TO the citi-
zens of Washington, but to the nation, as all
national property passes the canal toll free,
making the completion of Inc canal truly a
national object.
