Third ANNUAL EXHIBITION
MsryIand state Agricultural Soc

Maryland state Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCiETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that ON the Odd,
oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
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,
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 of any
hing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is 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 ID a 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
are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,ores and daughters 10 bring whatever appertains
their peculiar departments, as embro,aery aottse-
hold manufactures, the prJarcts Of the dairy and Of
The poultry yard, preserve, domestic 'cnes, co'3ec-
tions and, above all things, to come themselves, as
WITHOUT ,con,aa 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 patri-
otism both combine to en- DIN upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition Of your ma
chnery of all kinds, as from our present advces,
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 StaieS
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
ground Such ambition is laudabe-is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an animal
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

raise against me the odious and unmean-

From the New York Tribune
THE SPHERE OF WOMAN,
LETTER FROM NJ RS. T.. OAKEs SMITH.


To the Editor Of the Tribune:
Some weeks since, saw in your pa
per notice of the New York State
Temperance Society," in which appears
the following paragraph:
The greater portion of the afternoon
session was consumed in consideration
of proposition made by DR.. Vaudeville,
of Albany, to strike out the sentence in
the report of the Executive Committee,
complimentary to the Woman's State
Temperance Society, and substituting
sentence endorsing the efforts of Wo-
mon in her proper sphere-the social
and domestic circles. The debate was
very interesting. apeeches pro and con
being made by large number of the
members. The proposition was adopted
by vote of SO to 59.'
Now | have not word to say about
the movement of my sex in regard to the
Temperance cause. The women who
have labored in this field are abundantly
able to defend their own position; but
please allow me word in regard to this
everlasting talk of Woman's sphere.
No one has holier reverence than N.Y.
self for the domestic relations of woman
NO one would more strenuously advo-
cate the true, beautiful aspect of life in
volved there but is this all ? Is not
the world full of women who are able to
garland the Affairs of the Penates, and
yet bear the palms and olive branches of
a nobler walk who reverence the sane
titles of home and yet wear the laurel
most worthily upon their brows just as
our brothers invest themselves with the
dignities of paternity, and yet wear the
civic or professional wreath They do
not feel that their whole lives are to be
absorbed in trotting the child that climbs
upon their knee, or singing to it patty
cake pan.' but find time to do deal
else, good and bad, in the world; and
why should not woman have fair time
for the good also ? for that is all that the
women who ere accused of being out of
their sphere, seem to be aiming at.
Indeed, do not see why human be-
ing who can do two, or three, or more
things, lawfully to be done,) we'll, should
be restricted to doing but one.-Because
a Reverend DR.. may have been accus.
toned to clas of women qualified for
only one aspect of true life, do not
see why he should take exception to
those who obey the Divine injunction to
use their talents. whether they be one
or ten. If these women have done their
work we'll, they were entitled to the
courtesy of vote Of thanks, as earnest
laborers in great work. If they have
achieved nothing-lf no great human
pulse has been stirred to high aspira-
tion through their instrumentality, the
failure is pitiful; but surely no gene
rous mind would heap contempt upon an
honest, though defeated purpose.
Social evils recoil heavily upon Wo-
men. They suffer from misrule, and

THE NATIONAL wOMAN'S RIGHTS
CONVENTION.

CON EN- NIlONe
Held in Worcester, October 22d and
23d, 1851, adjourned to meet in Syra-
cuse, N. ", September 9Th, 9th and
10th, 1852.
The friends of equality, justice and
truth, are earnestly invited to assemble
there, at that time, to discuss the impor-
tant question ofreform, technically term.
ed Woman's Rights.
1--WE propose not only to review the
past, and consider the present., but to
mark out new and broader paths for the
opening future.
The time has come not only for the
examination and discussion of Woman's
social, civil and religious rights, but also
for a thorough and efficient organization
"a well.digested plan of operation.
whereby these social rights, for which
our fathers fought, bled and died, may
be secured, and enjoyed by us. Let
woman no longer supinely endure the
evils she may escape, but with her own
right hand carve out for herselfa higher,
nobler destiny than has heretofore been
hers. Inasmuch as through the folly
and imbecility of woman, the race is
what it is dwarfed, in mind and body,
and as, through her alone, it can yet be
redeemed, all are equally interested in
the objects Of this Convention.
We therefore solemnly urge those men
and women who desire, and look for, the
development and elevation of the race, to
be present at the coming Convention,
and aid US by the wisdom of their coun.
sells. Our platform will, as ever, be
free to all who are capable Of discussing
the subject with seriousness. candor and
truth.

from misdirected moral effort; from the
Incidence or incompetency of those
placed upon the watch towers of reform;
and if, after centuries of endurance, the
very spirit of divine truth and love has
compelled them'to labor and speak, sure
ly it is thing to be met calmly as a
human manifestation. not with con.
tempt. 1t would be we'll if our clergy
would look into this great movement
dispa assionately. The women engaged
in it are neither contemplate in charac-
ter nor number. ! have known those Of
every grade of intellect in the country
our Poets and Prose writers, and Re-
formers, so called-and nowhere do !
find more earnest, truth.loving spirits
than those who take part in this reform,
called the Woman's Rights. might
cite honorable names-women beloved
and -espected-unimpeached in any as
pect of life, where motives should not be
lightly questioned-nor should it be said
that the majority of women so engaged
are embittered ones, women upon whom
the evils of life have pressed heavily
therefore they give the world their crude,
sour discomfort This is cruel expe-
rience, and were it true, should be met
as melancholy fact. the cry of bruised
and broken spirits which the most cal
lous treat tenderly, reverently; that
some few may have trodden alone tte
wine-press of human suffering will not
be denied, and the fact should invest
them with saoredness. That these
come forth from their griefs strong to do
a work that shall protect others from
like sorrow, should be cause for gratu-
ation. When so many Of our brothers
and sisters sink altogether under their
trials, some few rise superior to them,
and are thus appointed by the spirit of
martyrdom to their work.-This is a
beautiful feature in human experience,
and | know not how class, who, week
by week, preach up the sufferings of the
Divine Master, can treat those of our
number, who have thus borne the Cross
of suffering, with contempt.
1t is curious fact, that our religious
papers are nearly, if not quite silent up
on this movement which is now engross-
ing so much interest in all parts of the
country. They record with praisewor.
thy exactitude, the progress of those of
our sex who minister to the beautiful in
music, but the labors of those whose aim
is moral, social beauties, evokes not
comment. So entirely do most Of them
ignore the mission of these thousands,
that one who reads no other papers
would never conceive, that correct and
true thinkers in every part of the coun.
try are beginning to see that this is to
be the distinguished feature of the age,
this rising of woman to the assertion of
her true position in the social and politi.
cal scale.

amuse their readers by smart hits at our
sex, in this matter, who ask, What is
