THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Maryland state Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
~ STATE AGRICULTURAL SOciETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
oath, and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at The city o.
Baltimore and we appeal to you one and all, to
bring for exhibition hereat 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
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good If not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity 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
he 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
,oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures, the proa.cts Of the dairy aud o
the poultry yard, preserve, domestic tcines, coyec
tons, and above all things, to come henseioes as
ptthot ,oonian, and the beautiful Celebrations Of he'
asie and genius, no display can 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
prety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from present advlces,
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
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.

MEMORIAL

To the Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire 10 reside the
land thus granted; tina, if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to seP the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law
by preventing the sale OF the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves.
whereas many of them are among the most INTEL
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
