it may be deemed proper for me to set forth
the claims which this lottery has to he pat.
ronage ct the citizens of the United States
Without dwelling upon the advantages leh.
dtred to adventures by tie scheme, | will
observe, that the object 10 be promoted by
this lottery, na.rely, the connection OF tbe
AnaCustia and Potomac rivers by Canal,
cannot fail 10 be considered as truly nnfiohn
by every one who Identities The proven eDl
OF the Seat OF Government, selected by The
great Washington, nith the honor ard gIalI. 7
tude OF country enjoying all the blessings
OF freedom through his unparalleled eXeI
tons and virtue ; who, While yet The metro
polls was in embryo, expatiated much on lbs /
Canal. now in part completed by moneys
raised from the drawing OF the tw preIICU
classes OF this Lottery To these conslGe
rators may be added the fact, that this ca.
nal, in passing through the city, app reaches
the Capitol within few yards, and, at tins
day, waters large portion OF National Re:
serve in this city, enhancing their value, sLd
consequently lessening the burthens OF lhe
nation fact fully exempIIfed by the cir
cumstance that the sales of public propeIlr
in the city amount 10 more than all tie pub-
lie buildings have hitherto cost the natirn.
The Canal is so far completed that the
heavy materials for building the CapiloI are
now brought in boats, and landed WI hm
lew yards OF the Capitol, thereby ssFInS
to the nation many thousand dollars, and
whsn completed the advantages darvedhun
it will be incsculable, not Only to the Gill,
zeDs of Washington, but to the nation, as al /
natiCnaI property passes the canal toll trf''
making the completion of the canal uUya
national object.
