The daily Green Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1861-1865, 1863-06-01
The InterAa ional Fair,

10 cal the attention of our readers to the impor-
lance OF liberal contribution from this State to
that exhibition, and we suhjoin his letter, conf
den; that We cannot in any better way excite TIE
interest in The sui jet so desirable among our
people:
"MY DEAR SIR Can YOU not find room for
the enclosed circular in the FREEMAN | am
very anxious that Vermont should send machinery
as well as sheep, TO Hamburg. vigorous effort
is being made 10 other Sta es,- can We ! OF make
one in our own ? Our only hope is through the
press, and can only promise a reward for the
service, the satisfaction of seeing Vermont occu-
p!lng the high po'i'on which it is her privilege
to c ,im at an International Fair
There are two more weeks yet remaining, and
little effort on The part Of the press can make
these two weeks of more value to the exhibition
than all the time that has preceded them.
VIII yOa not ask the papers OF Vermont to take
an immediate interest 10 this matter, and as we
have never yet had occasion to be ashamed of our
little State. we will have no occasion TO be at the
Hamburg Exhibition.
So far as | can learn, We are the only State
that i'll send live stock to the exhibition, and
am confident that the sheep that are already en-.
tered from Vermont, will do our State iull Just; &c
IN that department"
Our miled space forbidS US to copy entire the
cir uIar issued by Elk Gov. Wright, Commission
err for the United States to this Fair, but we give
below such portions as we deem more immedi-
a;eiy Interesting to VermoDters. MIR. Wreh,

OF country, that each of tht States of the Union
will furnish Rfpre>eh' a'iye to this great gath

Although the difficulties o. transportaticn may
be "a" obstacle in sending any considerable show
