hold it's annual Exhibition and Fair al the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, 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, it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
for you to arrive att will be that what you have
rs 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
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-
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
ipipes and daughters to bring whatever apperains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures, the proaucts Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserues, domestic pines, contec-
tions and above all things, to come themselves as
olthou ponian, and the beautiful Celebrations Of hen
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implement.
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri
olism both combine to enjon upon you the pro
priety OF making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advces
we are led to believe that tire assemblage Of farm.
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most of the States of the Union, will b.
greater than upon any former occasion here OF
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
implement makers and Mechanics Qfthe United States
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.
