Although these works are distinguished by the

them their chief value, and in that they stand con.

Maryland state Agricultural Society.
A peal TO THE MEMBERs OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AcmcuLruRAL SOCIETY," W. desire
that you should bear in mind, that oIi the 23d,
oath, and 18th days of October, your Society will
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, and 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 it behooves you to CALAMITY enter the list OF
competition: if defeated honoraby, and the high
character of the Judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the 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, to induce your
oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertans
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold manufacturers the products Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard preserves. domestic icines contec
tio,,s and above all things, to come themselves, as
o,ttou ,oonan, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers of Agricultural Implements
aud 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, as from 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
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 laudable-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer a favor by copying this notice.

To the Senate aud House of Representatives. ofihe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents That
thew nre 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 70 reside on inc
land thus granted that If patented 10 theni' the
exnense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
eharae. reducing the value of the grant, which
,hsu could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Yonr memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume
Ia Tho officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lads are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
;gent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
