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
NAV 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 galnntly enter the list OF
competiton /: if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the Judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
me 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, 10 induce your
,pipes and daughters to bring whatever apperains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mouse
ho,d ma,fct,,res The pr0ancts Of the dairy and Of
the po7.irp yard, preserves. domestic ",''es coec-
tons. and above all things, to come themselves, as
WITHOUT ,co,a, and the beautiful Celebrations 81 her
aste and genius, no display can DC perfect.
To the .Manufaci,4ers 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 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
Implcm,nt makers and Mechanics The Uniicd Sfates,
make it a matter Of pride to display your machl-
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.
