TO THE PUBLIC.
:, HaViLg been appointed sole agent, by the
Managers. Of the GRAND NATIONAL

itmay be deemed proper for me to set tnrtl,
the claims which this lottery has to The pat.
ronage OF the citizens of the United Sta,es.
Without dwelling upon the advantage. ten.
dered to adventures by tie scheme. | will
observe, that the object to be promoted bv
this lottery, naiGely, The connection Of The
AnaCostia and Potomac rivers by Canal
cannot fail 10 be considered as truly aut,nnn,
by every one who identifies The improvement
OF the Seat OF Government, selected Inv the
great Washington, with the honor and erati.
tude OF country enjoying all the blessing,
OF freedom through his Unparalleled exer
tons and virtue; who, While yet the metro.
Poils was IN embryo, expatiated much on the
Canal, now IN part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the two previous
classes OF this Lottery. TO these console.
ratlons may be added the fact, that this ca.
nal, in passing through The city, approache.
the Capitol within few yards, and. At tins
day, waters large portion of National Re.
serve m this city, enhancing their value. and
lessening the burtheDs Of the
nation; tact fully exempIihed by the cir.
that the sales Of public properiv
10 the city amount to more than all The NH.
lie buildings have hitherto cost the natinn
The Canal is SO far completed that the
heavy materials for building the Capitol are ,
DOW brought in boats, and landed within .
lew yards OF the Capitol, thereby saving
10 the nation many thousand dollars. and
when completed the advantage. derived from
{ will be incalculable, not only 10 the Gilt
Zens OF Washington, but TO the nation. q. all
latltnal property passes the canal toll free.
making the completion of the canal truly
rational object.
