bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
the products Of your orchards, aud Of your gardens
Don I 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 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 CALAMITY enter the list of
competition if defeated honoraby, and the high
character Of the judges IS guarantee that you
can be defeated in other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
tiled 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
pipes and daughters to bring whatever appertans
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, noe-
hold manufactures, the pr0ahcts Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard preserves, domestic ,c,nes, coec-
TONS and above all things, to come themselves, as
,o.hout ,yon,an and The beautiful celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patrl-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
prety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advlces,
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, viii he
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
implement makers aud Mechanics ofhe United STATES,
make it matter of pride to display your machl-
nery at our exhihition and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is audable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and

The work is being published in semi-monthy

Although these works are distinguished by the

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