that you should bear in mind, that the 23d,

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 gardensh
Don't presume that any animal, product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as il 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, IL not better than that Of others, and
hat it behooves you to calamity enter the list OF
ompetition " 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
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
lDpes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery,
hold manufactures, the proaucts Of the dairy aud Of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic ,cires, confec
TONS and above all things, to come themselves as
WITHOUT ,oon,a, 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-
otsm both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priey 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 and Mechanics ofhe United States,
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 laudable--is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart

fer favor by copying this notice.

EONARD SCOTT g. Co., No. 81 Gold street
IL JMo York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication Of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER = GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcr,cAL
AGRICULTURE"
By HENRY STEPHENS, F. r. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &c, &C.; assisted
Ivy JOHN p. NORTON, M "A, New Haven Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with 10 or 90 splendid steel ensravings
and more than GOO engrayings on wood, in the
highest style OF the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods of ploughing, planting
haying, harvesting, &c, &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of ncalculable value to the student
OF agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
SANDERS Of GA pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and ~ sold at IS cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers, ofwhich there will be
at least twenty-five.

r AND
BLAcKwoop's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contentsis devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value and in that they stand con
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class

and Isl at this tme unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,

MEMORIAL.
To the Senate aud 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 informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants 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 annual
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 tine sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled bounty
lands, are not competent TO act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligen and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
