TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole agent. by the
Managers, OF the GRAND NATIONAL
CANAL LOTTERY, and aying cpsned a
Lottery Ofhce, two doors east OF Dayis's Ho-
tel, fennsylVanIa avenue, Washingto ton city.
It 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 advantages ten.
dered to adventures by tie scheme, | will
observe, that the object to be promoted by
tins lottery, naalely, the connection Of the
AnaCostla and Potomac rivers by Canal.
cannot tail TO be considered as truly nnt,opat
by every one who Identifies the improyetre
OF the Seal oil Government, selected BIZ the
great Washington, with the henor and pratt.
tude OF country enjoying all the blessings
OF freedom through his unparalleled exer
tlons and virtue; who, While yet the metro
Polis was IN embryo, expstlated much on The
Canal now in part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two prey,ons
classes of this Lottery. To lbese console.
ratIons may be added the fact, that this "a
nal, in passing through the city, approaches
the Capitol within few yards, and, at tins
day, waters large portion of National he
serve In this city, enhancing their value. and
consequently lessening the bulthens Of The
nation fact fully eyemplfed by tbe cir.
cumstance that the sales of public pronertv
IN the city amount to more than all the pub.
he buildings have hitherto cost the nation.
The Canal is so far completed that tho
heavy materials for building the CapiloI arc
now brought in boats, and landed within =
few yards Of the Capitol, thereby saving
to the nation many thousand doUor, .oJ
when completed the advantages derived from
it will be incalculabIe, not only 10 the CHI.
zens OF Washington, but TO the nation, as Al,
national property passes the canal Toll free
making the completion of the canal hvjv
national object.
