We beg leave to invite the particular attention Of
our readers to the meeGngO Of the CoSmEcTIcDr STATE
SHK SocTErY, 10 be holden in this village the latter
part Of the present month. tVds ADVERTISEMENT No
doubt the culture Of siIk win ere long become i'm
pOrtant branch Of our national industry and an inex
hauslble source Of public and private wealth. Il has
already been decided that the business can and will
succeed and that our soil and our climate from one
extremity Of the Union to the other, il admirably
adapted to the rearing Of silk-advantages which
combined with industry, skill. energy and enterprise
Of our people, cannot fail to give this great and
interesting cause successful issue. Il 10 certain
that ts country will, at very remote period, not
only raise and manufacture itsOwn silk, and thus
millions now annually sent abroad for an article that
enters more oress into the dress Of every citizen Of
the republic, but we may even make these fabrics
the subject Of expectation, and thus cause the neces
sites and Injuries Of foreign nations to contribute
sentialy to our own aggrandizement. But it we
should succeed merely in supplying our own wants,
what an astonishing effect it would have on pros
perity! How it would turn the balance Of trade in
our favor, and render us Independent Of foreign
IiOns! But it is unnecessary to dwell On this sub
iect IL we were competent to do justice The peo
pie Of this country have embarked in good earnest in
she silk culture, and the only question H. whether
Ltchfed County shall take an honorable part in the
enterprise. Shall we stand supiney by, and permit
Others to enter this ample field, and reap abundant
harves, We rejoice in the belief that the public
mind in this county lie to considerable extent favor
ably impressed. Here and there an enferprisng in
divdual has undertaken the business and is prosecu-
ting it with laudabIe zeal the lion in the way
which imidity inactivity and sothfuness had conju-
red up has been Frustrated and this best Of
ses will receive ample Iustice at the hands Of dis
corning public. In conclusion, we will only add, that
our citizens should universally attend in this village
the 2S.h Of August. They will find the subject in
the hands Of sound practical men, thoroughly school
ed by experience--note spectators, but good citizens
and good patriots, who act upon the principal that
in disseminating the silk culture they subscrve the
highest and best interests Of our commen country.
