hold it's annual Exhibition and Fair ~ the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition hereat portions of your stock
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 will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t ID
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
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 gallantly enter the list or
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
,oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertalns
to their peculiar departments as embroide'y house
hold manufactures, the pr0ahcts Of the DAIRY and OF
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic 'oines coec
io,,s and above all things, to come themselves as
,c.tto, ,uo,an, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can De perfect.
To the Ma,rataci,.rers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patrl-
otsm both combine to enjon 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 assembage 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
npIe,e,t makers and Mechanics Of the United 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
ground Such ambition is laudable-ls worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.

thor of the Shook Of tie Farm" &C., &C.; assisted
Nv JOHN P. NoRroN, M. a., New Haven, Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over l,40t
pages, with 10 or 30 splendid steel engravings
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in tht
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement Of husbandry now in use by the bes
farmers, the best methods Of ploughng, planting
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it Of incalculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthy
numbers Of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Stee
engravings, and is sold at IS cents each, or rs fol

THE WEsTMINsTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
BLAcKwoop's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contents is devoted to political sub
sects. It is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class

Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
nd iS nf attractive. from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in

States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "M y
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Pennsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref

United States in Congress assembled: me memo
rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
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, assures
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
lieent and respectable citizens of the States. They
Therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be 40 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
