aid in the representation Of our vast resources
"Every County in Europe will contribute TO
this grand Show, and Egypt, Persia, India and
China" are moving in the cause, in setting forth
the products Of theiI skill and labor for this
grand exhibition. / cannot believe that Mis-
sissipPi will be a laggard, and feel certain her
citizens have too much State pride to refuse to
contribute her full quota, TO fully sustain the
character Of the American People.
Your duty will be, to notify the Citizens OF
your county that they are earnestly solicited
by the Central Committee of this State, and
by the Central Committee Of the United States
at Washington, as we'll as by the united wish
of all the World interested in this vast scheme,
to contribute for Exhibition in London, on the
LIST day of May next, such articles possessing
novelty, rarity or high excellence, whether as
raw materials aud Produce, Machinery, Manu-
f~actures, &c. These articles are to be cOllec-
ted at some central point in your County, con-
venienl to all interested, and then selected by
you as to merit alone, then to be plainly LABEL
led and marked, and forwarded to the Central
Committee in Vicksburg, Mi, before the LIST
day Of January, 1851, subject to the examinO-
ton and selection Of the Central Committee.
The object is, to send the bea Of each article
form each County, and not too many of each
kind, that the Committee may then and there
select the best from this State.
san expenses relating to the transportation
and arrangement Of articles will have to be de.
frayed by the exhibitor or the Country from
which they are sent" is the rule adopted by
the Royal Commissioners in London. 1t will,
therefore, be necessary that each exhibitor
provide ways and means for defraying all ex-
peDse.
have the pleasure and satisfaction Of assnr-
ing you, that in England avery liberal policy
has been adopted in reducing all expense to the
very lowest desirable polnt, and there are
wealthy houses in England that will make no
charges. We hope our Steamboats, and mer-
chants will be actuated by a similar policy,
and assure you that this Committee will exert
itself to make economy an object. They, of
course, make no kind OF charge.
1t is absolutely necessary that the Central
Committee Of the United States sanction the
selection Of each article before it will be re.
ceived in London, and all information and cor
respondence here, must pass through that body.
Again, i! is necessary that each article pass
through the hands Of our Central Committee,
to be received by that in Washington.
All articles must be in Vicksburg, Mississip-
pi, before the LIST day Of January, 1851, and af.
t'r examination and selection, they will be
packed up securely and sent to New Orleans,
from whence they will be shipped direct to
London. mast, therefore, beg Of you to use
all the dispatch possible in notifying your fell
lOw-citizens, in collecting, examining and
sending forward.
The Chairman Of the Central Committee,
not having acquaintance over the State, has
been compelled to rely upon the suggestions Of
friends in the selection Of gentlemen on the
several Committees, and may not have nomina-
led those who are willing to serve. lie would,
therefore, beg the first gentleman named, that
he will add to his committee such as will aid,
and indeed any other persons that can and will
render service, as also to notify each member
