A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERSpF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. desire
that you should bear in mind, that ON the 23d
Gath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold it's 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 1t 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
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
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tiled 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
,piues and daughters to bring whatever appertalns
to their peculiar departments embroidery, mouse
hold manufactures, the proa'.cts Of the DAIRY and o
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic ,oiles, cotec
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves a.
,uthout ,uon,a and the beautiful celebrations Of he,
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of Agricultural Implemeni'
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chnery of all kinds, as 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 Of the United States
make it a 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-ls worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
