A peal TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLANp
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that ON the 23d
oath. and 25th days of October, your Society VII
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city o
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, tc
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
that it behooves you to calamity enter the iist 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-
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
,oipes and daughters 10 bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mousse
hold anufact,res, the prouncfs Of the DAIRY and %
the poultry yard, preserpeS, domestic 'ones, coysc
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves, as
lcthout ,con,an, and tie beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can DC perfect
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
prety Of making grand exhibition OF your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present adyIces,
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
Inpiement makers and mechanics orthe United States,
make it matter of pride to display your nachi-
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.
