TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole agent, by The
Managers, OF the GRAND national
CANAL LOTTERY, and having openeda

tel, Pennsylvania avenue, Washington city.
may be deemed proper for me TO sci forth
| the claims which this lottery has to the pat
| ronage of the citizens of the United States.
! Without dwelling upon the advantages eb.
dered 10 adventures by the scheme, ] will
observe. that the object TO be promoted by.
| this lottery, namely, the connection of tie
Anacostia and Potomac rivers by Cana
| cannot fail to be considered as truly Nations
| by every one who identifies the improvement
of the Seat of Government, selected by lie
great Washington, with the honor and graf
tude of a country enjoying all the bIessiDg
of freedom through his unparalleled excl
tons and virtue who, Wide yet the metro
polls was in embryo, eXpatiated much en- Il!
Canal DOW in part completed by mCGty
raised from the drawing OF the two prcIiu
classes of ltis Lottery. TO these consIdc
rations may be added The fact, that this Ca

the Capitol within few yards, and, al lbr
day, waters a large portion Of National lie.
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 put
lie buildings have hitherto cost the uatrn.
7 he Canal is so far completed that he
heavy materials for building the Capitol are
now brought in boats, and landed within
few yards Of the Capitol, thereby sa'irs
to the nation many Thousand dollars, and
when completed the advantages derived rccmn
| it will be incalculable, not only TO the cIlr
zens of Washington, but to the nation, as al
| matte nal property passes the canal toll trf''
making the completion OF the canal uuy d
national object.
