TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole agent, by the
Managers, OF the GRAND NATIONAL
CANAL LOTTERY, and having OPENED A
Lottery Ofice, two doors east of DAVIS. ifo.
Eel, Pennsylvania avenue, Washington civ,
1t may be deemed proper for me to set forth
the claims which this lottery has to The pat.
ronage OF the citizens of the United States.
Without dwelling upon the advantage. ten.
dered to adventures by the scheme, | will
observe, that the object to be promoted by
this lottery, namely, the come ction of The
Anacoslia and Potomac rivers by Canal.
cannot fail to be considered as truly aationus
by every one who identities The Improvement
OF the Seat OF Government, selected BIZ the
great Washington, with the honor and graft.
tude OF country enjoying all The blessing.
OF freedom through his Unparalleled exer
tons and virtue who, while yet the metro.
polls was in embryo, expatiated much on ths
canal, now in part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing of the tw o previous
classes Of this Lottery. 70 these conside.
ratlons may be added 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 fact fully exempGied by the cir.
cumstance that the sales Of public property
IN tne CITY amount 10 more than all The pub.
nc buildings have hitherto cost the na,irn.
The Canal is so far completed that tie
heavy materials for building the Capitol are
now brought in boats, and landed within
lew yards OF the; Capitol, thereby saving
o the nation many Mousand doliars, and. =
when completed the advantages derived from
I VIII De ncaIculable, not only to the cii.
;ens OF Washington, but to the nation, as all
la'i.nai property, passes the canal toll free,
making the completion of the canal tluly a
rational object.
