n STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind that ON the Odd,

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
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as good if not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to gallantly enter the list OF
competition: if defeated honorably, and the high
character Of the judges is 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
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,oiues and daughters 10 bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, us embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures, the proaucts Of the dairy and o
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic 1oi'es, contec
lions, and above all things, to come themselves, a.
,o,thot oonla, and the beautiful Celebrations Of he,
astc and geni,ss. no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers of Agricultural Implement
and Tools, we would say, that interest aud 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 advlces
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from mos. OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here OF
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agriculture
Implement makers and 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 laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
