Don t presume that any animal, or product, you
NAV own is inferior to others that Will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
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 or
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
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
uipes and daughters 10 bring whatever appertalns
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mousse

tons, and above all things, to come themselves, as

este aud genius. no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patrl-
otism both combine to enjom upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition OF your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from 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
bopleent makers and Mechanics ofhe United SateS,
make il a matter of pride to display your machi-
nerv 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
