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
as as good, if not better than that Of others, and
that it behooyes you to gallantiy enter the list OF
competition if defeated honoraby, and the high
haracter Of the Judges is u guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you will ENJOY
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.

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

the poultry yard, preserves, domestic io,nes, coec-
TONS and, above all things, to come Themselves as

To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enloin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advices,
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
Ipteuent makers and Mechanics Of the United States
make it a matter of pride to display your MACH,
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
