TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole AK eni, by the
Managers, OF the GRAND NATIONAL
CANAL LOTTERY, and having opened
Lottery Utlce, two doors east OF Dayis's Ho-
tel, Pennsylvania avenue, Warrington city.
it may be deemed proper for me to set lorih
the claims which this lottery has to The pat
ronage OF the citizens of the United States.
Without dwelling upon the advantages Ten
dered to adventures by tie scheme, will
observe. that the object TO be promoted by
this lottery, namely, the connection Of the
Anacosta and Potomac rivers by Canal,
cannot fail TO be considered as ruiy national
by every one who identifies the improvement
OF the Seat OF Government, selected by tbs
great Washington, with the honor and grati-
tudee OF country enjoying all the blessings
OF freedom through his unparalleled exer
lions and virtue; who, while yet the metro.
polls was in embryo, expatisted much On he
Canal, DOW III part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two previous
classes OF this Lottery. To these consIde.
fations may be added the fact, that this ca.
nal, in passing through the city, approaches
the Capitol within few yaros, and, at this
day, waters large portion of National Re-,
serve IN tbs city, enhancing their value, and
consequently lessering the buythens Of the
nation a fact fully eyempli6ed by the cir
crnstance that the sales of public property
in the city amount to more than all The npb.
lie buildings have hitherto cost the nation.
The Canal is so far COMPLETED that Tho
heavy materials for building the Capitol are
row brought in boats, and landed within a
few yards OF thes Capitol, thereby saving
to the nation many hcusand doliar:.-sod
when completed tile advantages derived from
it will be incaieulabie, not onIy TO the eii:
zens OF Washington, bit TO the nofton. as al.
matte nal property passes the canal toll free,
making the completion of the canal truly
aationa! object.
