The representation Of articles should
be so numerous and specific, a. to form
an epitome Of Iowa--her soil and eli
mate, her fora aud fauna, her agricul.
tnral, mineral and manufacturing pro.
ducts, her religious, benevolent and
educational institutions, and the social
and intellectual condition of her people;
and in fact Of al those agencies which
in less than thirty years have rescued
this region from state of nature, peo.
pied it with 5000 souls, and opened
up an area capable Of supporting 90,
700, 900 Of people. A region thus pro.
life 10 cereals, in beef, pork, useful
metals, &c., if properly represented,
has nothing to fear from competition
with the whole world. Such repre-.
sentation cannot fail to attract the
attention Of the old world to our bound
less resources, developed and undsvel-
oped, and to invite lsbor and capital
70 our Sac, where st.ey are very sure
Of remaneratiye return.
hor ., therefore, that the citizens Of
every town, CITY and neighberhosa, viii
take steps at once to have ths7kseyeral
industries properly represented. Many
things, on account Of your familiarity
With them, may not seem worthy Of .
place in the Exposition; but remember
that they will be intensely interesting
to the people Of Europe. Let Iowa
hope to secure share Of the generous
premiums offered, and above this, 10
make display that shall establish our
State superiority.
