II STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,

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
Me 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 ofany
hing can be determined The safer presumption
ior you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is az good, if not better than that of Others and
that it behooves you to gallantly 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-
,iled to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
rs are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
.opes and daughters to bring whatever appertans
their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold autaci,rcs, The proa.ets Of the dairy md Of
the poultry yard preserves, domestic oines, coyec-
lions, and above all things, to come themselves, as
o,thout ,oonan and the beautiful celebrations Of her
aste and genius, display can be perfect.
! To the yHanutact,,ors Of agricultural Implements
ind Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
| otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
prety 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 Of 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
| rround Such ambition ia Iaudable--tS worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
| American heart.
nF Editors with whom we exchange will con-
fer favor by copying this notice.
