Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class.
Biackrcood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notabIes
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
it's columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and 'My
New Novel" doth by Bulwer,) "My Peninsuar
Medal, ''The Green Hand" and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood, after ii has been issued by .Messrs Scot
& Co., that subscribers TO the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.

NAV own is inferior to others that VIII be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as It 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

that it behooves you to CALAMITY enter the list OF

mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
.cires and daughters bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mouse

To the Manufacturers Of Agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patrl-
otism both combine to enjoln upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma

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 STATES,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
