urc N apIsninr those b, whom copies oi
that leticr we're received, that the opinions
Of this department; therein expressed, In IA
vur Of the proposed exhibition. remain uD-
changed and am dcsiFous Of engaging
the cooperation generally Of our ministers
and charge d'adnrcs abroad, as far a. It
can be properly given, IN an undertaking Of
such manifest utility and interest.
The exhibition, in lis leading character,
though M, undertaken by the goycrmon nj
q the United States, will resemble that
whiohWas the suhjcc, admiration through
ont the civilized World during the summer
of 1851. ii 1t should yield, in some no.
spccts, Of necessity, 20 that great display
Of the products Of the worlds industry, il
IL believed that in some other respects the
exhibition ai New York will cqaal, and in
others even surpsss, IT, prototype.
The Circumstance that such an underta
king can with any confidence be protected
on this side Of the Atlantic, must be o mat.
ter Of no ordinary significance TO reflect.
ing mind in Europe. The city Of New
York, as the center of system Of internal
communication, natural and artificial, with
out parallel IN Europe, affords peculiar ia
cllitics tor such purpose. II is perfectly
well known TINT many causes colrspired &
prevent the industry Of America from being
adequately represented al the exhibition Ii
Hyde Park; and ss far as the productive
manufacturing, and artistic resources of ia,
United States are matters entitled 10 th,
consideration OF the European world, the,
will be displayed TO greater advantage il
the New York exhibition than on any forIne
| occasion.
For these reasons You may safely intcres
yourself, an far as il can with propriety be
done, IN the success of the exhibition. IL
1 the inquiries which will be often addresse,
10 you, as 10 the character OF the undertake
ing, you can answer that, though not gov
eminent enterprise, II Is viewed with grea
favor by the President of the United States
/ and that the exhibition building will, by iii
/ rection of the Secretary of the Treasury
/ be made government warehouse, IN orde
to admit the importation in bend of article
sent from abroad, subject to duty only il
the event Of their being sold in this coun
try. You can add that il will be a sonrc
of qualification to the government and peo
pie Of this country TO witness the co-ope
ration, in the projected exhibition, of tn
friendly powers of Europe, and of thei
citizens and subjects. You will also n
doubt take pleasure in extending ever
friendly office in your power to the agent
of the exhibition now in Europe, or VIII
may in the course of the winter and sprin
go abroad 10 make preparations for the e,
hibition.
will only add, that the immediate supe
intendence and management are in III
hands Of gentlemen second TO none in tn
community for responsibility of characte
and that implicit reliance may be placed {
the probity and good faith with which Il
enterprise will be conducted
