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 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 honorably, and the high
haracter of the judges is guarantee that you
an 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
ciues and daughters to bring whatever appertans
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, mouse
hold manufactures, the pr0ancS Of The dairy and %
he poultry yard preserves, domestic ,cines, cotec
ioas, and, above all things, to come Themselves a.
,r,thoa ,ooa,l, and the beautiful celebrations Of he'
asfe and gcnius display can be perfect.
To the Nanufacturers Of Agricultural Implements
md 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 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 aud Mechanics Of the United Slaes
make it a 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.
