Squfre "ln response to the call for a public meet,
ing (says the Democrat.) some fifteen hundred or
two thousand persons--a savage, seetlng multi
tude, ripe for riot and sedtion-assembIed on the
evening OF the 9TH inst, in the City Hall-a tenn
pie consecrated to the supremacy of law and the
peaceful ministration of justice. In solemn mocke-
ry, the meeting was called to order chairman
selected to preside the deliberations of trea

the City OF Richmond opened the ball, and in
named the fury of excitement, by remarks denun-
e'atofy OF the conduct of the Executive"
nus 1t appears that in the estimation of the
Petersburg editor, it is ..treason forthe people to
deliberate on the public conduct of their Exc
cutive,s aud "lawless' to declare their disappro-
baton of that conduct We deem it wholly
unnecessary to defend the meeting of Friday
night, against the charge that it was a sssavare,
seethng multitude, ripe for sediton and riot" but
we beg leave to call particular attention to the ex
traordinary doctrine Swallowed forth by this De-
mocrHtic editor in the paragraph above quoted
The Democrat proceeds to give version of the
incidents of Friday night, Astounding in exagee-
rated and erroneous statements, but as il is evil
dent that the editor has been mised by the num-
berless false rumours afoat in regard TO this affair."
and as we have no disposition to minister to the
excitement still prevailing here in regard to the
matter, we forbear to quote his violent language.

A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
II STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIErY.--We desire
that you should bear IN mind, that ON the 23d,
oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition aud Fair at the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition therea portions of your stock,
the products Of your orchards aud 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, us it 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 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
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
,oiues and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold anfact,res, The proancts Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic ,oines, conyec
tions and, above all things, TO come themselves, as
orthou tsonlan, and the beautiful celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect
To the Mann. 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
chinery 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
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers aud Mechanics ofthe 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 laudabe-is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.
