TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole agent, by de |
Managers, OF the GRAND NATlONA
CANAL LOTTERY, and having openeda
Lottery Office, two doors east of Dayis'sHO.
tel, Pennsylvania avenue, Washington ctr,
it may be deemed proper for me to set forth
| the claims which this lottery has to the pal.
ronage of the citizens of the United States
Without dwelling upon the advantages tel.
dered 10 adventures by tie scheme, viii
| observe, that the object to be promoted ly
this lottery, namely, the connection Of The
Anacostia and Potomac rivers by Canal
cannot fail TO be considered as truly nafiOra
| by every one who identifies The improvement
| of the Seat OF Government, selected by tie
great Washington, with the honor and graf
tude OF country enjoying all the bIessil!
| of freedom through his unparalleled exc
tons and virtue; who, while yet The metz
polls was in embryo, expatiated much on
Canal now in part completed by moDeE
raised from the drawing OF the two pIeyiG
classes OF this Lottery. TO these consI(:
rations may be added the fact, that this q
| nal, in passing through the city, apprCace
the Capitol within few yards, and, at tli
day, waters large portion Of National IT,
serve in this city, enhancing their value, sT1
consequently lesseniDg the burthens Of The
nation fact fully exempli6ed by the nr'
cumstance that tie sales Of public properly
in the city amount TO more than all the rul'
lie buildings have hitherto cost the nation,
The Canal is so far completed that lie
heavy materials for building the CapiolsN
now brought 10 boats, and landed within
| few yards OF the, Capitol, thereby SAVE
| to the nation many thousand dollars, anC
when completed the advantages dersedi9cl1
il will be incalculable, not only 10 the cur
zens of Washington, but to the nation, as
matte nal property passes the canal toll JrM
making the completion of the canal tlUy'
national object.
