that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
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 Stock
the products Of your orchards, aud of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior TO others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at will be that what you have
is as good if not better than that of others, and
hat it behooves you to calamity enter the list of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
AN be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied 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
loipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house-
hold manufactures, the proaIets Of the dairy and o.
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic ,cines conec-
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves, as
lcrfho tooman, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
aud Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine TO enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advces
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangely
from most OF the States Of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here OF
elsewhere. We therefore say to the .4grieuifura
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States
make il matter Of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
