A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
IA STATE AGRICULTURAL SociETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the Odd,
oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair al 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 ofany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good il not better than that Of others, and
that il behooves you to calamity enter the list of
competition I: if defeated honorably, and the high
character Of the judges is a 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
lDipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, nouse-
hold manufactures, the proalets Of The dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic iones, eontec-
tions and, above all things, to come themselves, as
oltho,i ,consan, and the beautiful celebrations Of her
aste and gsaius. no display csa be 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
priety 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 .4gricuiturai
Impeaen makers and Mechanics the United States,
make il 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.

fer a favor by copying this notice.
