bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your socE
the producs of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or prodIci, you
NAV own is inferior to others thai Will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as Il ~
onlv by comparison that the relative merits 81 any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for YOU TO arrive at, will be that what you have
is AZ good If not better than that OF others, ana
that it behooves you to CALAMITY enttr the iist OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges Is guarantee that you
can he defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
the luxury OF knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
AZ are properly in your department, we crave per-
m,ssion to solicit your interest, to induce your
scives and daughters to bring whatever aPperains
TO their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house

fions. and. above all things come themselves,

To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools we would say, that interest and patrI-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
prie,y of making grand exhibition OF your ma
chnery Of all kinds, as from our present advices'
we are led to believe that the asse'nbage OF arn'-
ers and planters, and Of distinguished stranger
from most OF the States of the Union, VIII be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
else where We therefore say TO the agricultural
IuDlem<ni makers and Mechanics Of the United States
make it a matter of pride TO display your machl-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudabie--is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by The
American heart.
