Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1863-06-02
The Internati Fair,


TO call the attention of our readers 10 the mpor-
lance OF a liberal contribution from this State to
that exhibition, and we subloin his letter, conf
den; that we cannot in any better way excite TIE
interest in the subject 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 A vigorous effort
is being made in other States,- can we not make
one in our own? Our only hope is through the
press, and can only promise as reward for the
service the satisfaction Of seeing Vermont oecu-
pying the high position which it is her privilege
TO claim 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.
Will you not ask the papers of Vermont to take
an immediate nterss. in 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 will send live stock to the exhibition, and |
am confident that the sheep that are already en-
tered from Vermont, will do our State full justice
in that department"
Our limited space forbids us to copy entire the
circular issued by Ex.Goy. Wright, Commission
err for the United States to this Fair, but we give
below such portions az we deem more mmedi-
ately interesting TO Vermonters. Mr.. Wright
says:
do not hesitate to ask, 10 behalf Of our pride
Of country, that each Of the States Of the Union
will furnish Representative TO this great gath
, eriog of European nationalilies, and that liberal
samples Of all the agricultural products of the
several States may be collected and prepared for
exhibition, with view to an extensive exchange
of seeds and plants, which would doubtless result
in material advantage to the agricultural interests
OF our country.
Although the difficulties o. transportation may
be an obstacle 10 sending any considerable show
of stock, yet we shall have from Vermont some
fine specimens Of Spanish Merinos, said to be an
: improvement on the original breed. Our coun-
try affords some OF the finest working cattle in
the world, and it is to be hoped we oil send a
specimen Of these and other kinds of stock and
poultry, as proof Of what we possess in this par
ticuar.
would especially urge our inventors and man.
ufacturers Of all kinds Of agricultural implements
and machinery, (for which we stand pre-emnent
before the worid,) and have already obtained
valuable market in several Of the countries of
{ Europe, to exhibit the means employed by US to
fill our vas, storehouses with annual supply Of
food enabling Us to furnish the wants Of millions,
besides our own people.
8 have been made fully aware that the great
r demand for agricultural machinery to supply the
wants Of manual labor in agricultural pursuits,
renders it inconyenient for our manufacturers to
give their attention to this object, yet patriotism,
r as we'll as sound policy for the future demands Of
you proper response 10 this invitation TO unite
, with your contributions TO give general interest
to this exhibition.
o But there are other an more weighty consid-
n era,ions than the mere exhibition OF agricultural
specimens, or the inventions OF our people in ma
:. chinery and implements Of husbandry at this
time, when our position is exciting the attention
. Of the civilized world.
!, We are 10 be,represented by our contributions
as well as by our delegates, asa distinct nation
!. aty, surrounded by the people Of Northern and
Central Europe, to many Of whom the kno 'ledge
II Of our condition is but conjecture and Il is there
fore for our interest that We should give evidence
