bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
NE 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
as as good, If not better than that of others, and
that 1t behooves you to CALAMITY enter the list Of
competition if defeated honorably, and the hioh
character of the Judges is a 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
uciues and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery mouse
hold manufactures, the prou,.cts Of the dairy aud
the poultry yard, PRESERVES. domestic aoes, contec
tons, and, above all things, to come themselves a.
olhout ,uon,an and the beautiful Celebrations of he,
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
mn Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otsm both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from present advice :.
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 the United States
make it 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.

thor of the "Book Of he Farm, &c, &C.. assisted
by 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 400
pages, with 10 90 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of poughing, planting,
haylng, 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 ncalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of "a pages each exclusive Of the Steel
engravlngs, and is sold at 25 cents EACH or SIS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.

Although these works are distinguished BY the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contentsis devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Biack,oood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notabes,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as ''The Caxtons' and "My
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
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
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood after II has been issued by .Messrs. Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 29th Of September, 1850 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the relan.ed 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
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists 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 for themselves,
whereas many of them among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 30 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabIe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
