TO THE PUBLIC.
Having been appointed sole agent, by the
Managers. OF the GRAND NATIONAL
CANAL LOTTERY, and having opened
Lottery Office, two doors east of Dayis's Ho.
tel, Pennsylvania avenue, Washingto ton city,
it may be deemed proper for me 10 set lortL
the claims which this lottery has to the pat
ronase Of the citizens OF the United States.
Without dwelling upon the advantages ten.
dered to adventures by Tie scheme, will
observe. that the object 10 be promoted by
this lottery, nsn.ely, the connection of the
Anacostia and Potomac rivers by Canal.
cannot ial to be considered as truly national
by every one who identities the improvement
OF the Seat of Government, selected by the
great Washington, with the honor and grati-
tude OF a country enjoying all the blessings
OF freedom through his unparalleled exer
tons ADD virtue who, While yet the metro
r,Nl1c x,.g L L
Canal, now IN part completed b. moneys
raised from the drswns OF the two previous
classes OF this Lottery. To these console.
rations may be added thesfact, 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 iessening the burthens of the
nation fact fully ezempliied by the cir
cumstaace that the sales of public property
in the city amount TO more than all the pub.
lie buildings have hitherto cost the cation.
The Canal is so far completed that the
heavy materials for building the CAPITOL are
now brought iD boats, and landed within a
few yards O.! the. Capitol, thereby saving
TO the nation many thousand dollars, and
when completed the advantages derived fror,
it will be incalculabIe, not only to the citi-
zens Of Washington, but to the nation, as all
nati nal property passes the canal toll free,
making the completion Of the canal truIy'a
national object.
