Caltigdtor
DEAR Cor. MANY thanks to you for your
notice Of the so-called United States Agricul
tural Society, contained in your No, Of July
lst You have spoken right out in meeting,
Of these selfappointed, seli.conooited, super
cilious mRgnates, who claim that they are boot
cd, spurred and mounted 10 ride rough-shod
over the feelings Of every person and every no.
ciety that may be occupying position in their
way
II, In the history of agriculture any class Of
mon have ever assumed such arrogance, and
manifested such indifference, nay contempt,
for the opinions or rights Of Others am hap
py in not having had knowledge Of them,
These upstairs are ostensibly claiming TO be
engaged in the promotion of agriculture and
the mechanic arts and yet, in spite Of gentle
manly remonstrances, and in open disregard
of their hollow professions in favor Of friendly
"co-Operdfion" with kindred societies, they 10
cate their Fair ut place, and fix the time Of
holding the same 80 rs to do the most injury
TO the very interest they profess to advance
and promote.
For moment Just look Mt their Rctinn. In
January last the Ohio State Board of Agrcul-
ture located their Fair Mt Dayton, 10 be held
from the 26th to 2slli of September The
managers Of the County Societies were 0ppris-
ed Of their action, and liked the time of hold
ing their Fairs 10 suit Circumstances favor
cd prcemnont success for State and County
Fairs aud for general good time in the
southwestern portion Of Ohio Now, after
all these preliminary arrangements have been
suitably made, the Vice President for Ohio Of
the United States Agricultural Society, seeks
to have the National Fair held at Cincinnati
| He knew and the Society knew that their ex-
hibition and the State exhibition, located IN
substantially the same agricultural district
must conflict with each other What did he
and his associates care for either the prospori-
ty Of the State Fair, or for the success Of the
County Societics2 For instance, what do the
managers Of the United States Agricultural
Society, who are national not sectional
who give AGRICULTURAL MEDALS 20 the
japanese ADibdSsadors-who can afford TO
spend fourteen hundred doiiars at one exhi-
bitten for grog alone, (as at Chicago,) care
for your sectional exhibitions What do these
gentlemen of enlarged views and capacities
care for Warren or Preble county interestY
As Warren county is to the United States 80
will their Fair be TO the ',grdndest display
| ever nhu III INC Htdt1 UT w thS tHtcd
StatesF SO, too, what claims has Ohio upon
the consideration Of these distinguished ma
tonal managers2 The President Of the IT, s,
Society officially and personally insults the
President of the Ohio Board, by ignoring not
only him and his communication, but the
State Board of Agriculture, and hence he de-
termines to hold the National Fair at Cnein-
natl, despite all their objections and remon.
strances.
Well, we shall see what we shall see We
shall see whether the citizens of twenty coun-
ties in Southwestern Ohio, Northern KY, and
Southern Indiana will abandon their ownreg-
ular exhibitions, and kiss the rod that is striy-
ing TO strike them down, by holding their pre-
tended National Fair at the same time that
these counties are holding their own exhibit
ltions.
We have confidence that our own County
and State organizations will receive the sup
port and countenance Of our citizens and that
those who have the management Of the pro
posed National Fair, will be suitably rebulSed
for their unbearable arrogance, their supereil
ious mien, and their wanton and insolent dis
regard of the rights and wishes of the agricul
tural and mechanical portion Of our citizens
