~ STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.-We desire
that YOU should bear in mind, that ON the 25d,

hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the c:iy Q,
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one ana all, 70
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
the products Of yo, orchards, and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or prodnct' you
NAV 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 nave
as as good, if not better than that of Others ana
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list OF
ompet,ion if defeated honorably, and the high
Character of the Judges is a guarantee that you
IAN be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
The 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
,pipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, us embroidery, house
mil manufactures the products of the dairy and o.
The pouru uard, preserves, domestic pines, conec-
tions and above all things, to come themselves as
u,tho con,a,, and the beautiful Celebrations Of he'
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of Agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say that interest ana patri'
otsm both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advlces,
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, VIII be
greater than upon any former occasion mere OF
elsewhere. We therefore say TO the agricultural
Jmnlement makers and Mechanics ofthe United States
make it matter of pride to display your machl-
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. =,

To The Senate and House of Representatives oPthe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial OF the undersgheu, Respectfully irP'e'eneS tpat
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th OF September 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that thew do not expect or desire to reside the
land thus granted; that 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 sell the warrant
Your memoralists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume;
thai 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
NAV be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
