That industry should be stimulated and its productions

Without increasing the amount Of revenue beyond
what is required for derayng the expenses Of Govern

THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL SCOTT.
FROM THE NEW YORK "ExPREss" OF SATURDAY.

FROM THE NEW YORK EXPRESS" OF SATURDAY.
We have been surprised to hear intimations, from
professed friends as well as open enemies of the
Whg cause, that the PRESIDENT was not favor
able to the election of Gen. SooTT Soon after
the nomination was made we saw published an ex-
tract from private letter written by him, which
was decidedly in favor of the election Of Gen. ScoTT,
and publication in the Washington Republic as
serted the same thing. We have recently seen a
private letter, addressed by him to friend in this
city, from which, though evidently not intended for
publication, we have, under the circumstances si
the case, been permitted to make the following ex
tract, which we publish for the purpose of putting
this matter at rest We know that the president
has taken no active part in the canvass, either be
fore or since the nomination made, but we have
reason to know that in his private acts and conyer-
sation-for we have heard it from his own lips-he
has acquiesced most cheerfully in that nomination,
given it his cordial support, and urged his friends
to support it with all true-heartedness and in all
sincerity:

A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
IN. STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that ON the 23d,
24th and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold it's 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 1t 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
as as good if not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list Of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the Judges is n guarantee that you
can 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
,oiues and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures, the proaActs Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic ioines contec-
lions and above all things, to come themselves, as
,otttou ,oonla, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patrl-
| otsm both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety OF making grand exhibition OF your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
| greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics orth United States,
make it a 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 laudabe--is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
| American heart.
