bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
The products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens

NAV 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 fany
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 gallantly 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-
tiled to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we craveper
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,oipes and daughters to bring whatever apperains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures, The proaucts Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard prese,pe, domestic ctnes, conec-
lions and above all things to come themselves, as
lulhout ,oona, aud 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 patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chnery of all kinds, from our 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
upLemcnt makers and Mechanics Of The United SGtes,
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-ls worthy OF
