THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION

MARYLAND state Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
~ STATE AGRIcuLTURAL SocIETY.--We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23a
Oath. and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your sfock
the products of your orchards and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
NAV own is inferior to others that VIII be mere,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
onlv by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for vou To arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good. if not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the iis OF
competition if defeated honorabiy, and the hiSh
character of the Judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will ENJOY
the luxury of knowing that Others were more en-
tied to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
wipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house-
hold the products Of the datry ana Of
the poultry yard preserves, domestic ,oneS' eoee-
tions and above all things, to come themselves as
,c,to,u ,con,an and the beautiful celebrations oj her
taste and genius no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enJoln upon you the pro-
prety of making grand exhibition OF your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices'
we are led to believe that the assenbage OF farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers rs
from, most of the States of the Union, VIII be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
Elsewhere. We therefore say to the .4grtc'tuurai
implement makers and Mechanics Of the Uniied States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
"-o,,ra Such ambition is laudable-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by The
American heart

fer favor by copying this notice.

MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives Of th
United Siates in Congress assembted' The memoru
of the undersigned, respectfully represents tha
thew are entitled TO Bounty Land, under the nc
of 18th OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe tina, the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
thai tbev do not expect or desire to reside on tn,
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
EXPENSE of agencies and taxes wall be an animal
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act Tor themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
