Having been appointed sole agent, by the
Managers, Of the GRAND NATIONAL
CANAL LOTTERY and having opened a.
Lottery Office, two doors east of Davis's Ho.
'el, Pennsylvania avenue, Washington city,
It may be deemed proper for NE to sci forth
the claims which this lottery has to The pat
roDage OF the citizens OF the United States.
Without dwelling upon the advantages reu.
dered to adventures by the scheme, I nil!
observe. that the object to be prom. otet. by
this lottery, nah.e!y, the come ctiun of Tie
AnaCostla and Potomac rivers by Canal,
cannot fail to be considered as truly nnr1ona.
by every one who identifies The inproyehtn
OF the Seat OF Government, selected BY lhs
great Washington, with the honor and grail
tude OF country enjoying all The blessings
Of ff,rh,, n,h II
tons and virtue who, While yet The metro.
polls was in embryo, expatiated much on The
Canal now in part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two previous
classes OF this Lottery. 10 these cons,de-
rations may tie added The fact, that this ca.
nal, in passing through the city, approaches
the Capitol within a few yards, and, At tb,s
day, waters large portion of National Re-
serve in this city, enhancing their value, and
consequently lessening the bur,hens of the
nation; ia ct fully exempIiiied 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 building the Capitol are
now brought in boats, and landed within a
few yards Of the Capitol thereby saving
10 the nation many thousand dollars. and
when completed the advantages derived from
it will be incalculable, not only TO the citi
zens OF Washington, but to tho nation, as AN
natl ne! property passes the canal toll free,
MATING the completion of the canal truly
national object.
