In this Celebration al nations
will be invited To participate; its
character being ln ernational. Eu-
rope will display her arts and man
utaelures, lndis her curious fabrics,
while newly opened China aud Japan
will lay bara the treasures which Tor
centuries their ingenious people have
been perIeeting. Each land will
compete in generous rivalry for the
pain Of superior excellence.
To this grand gathering every
zone will contribute its fruits and
cereals. No mineral shall be want.
ing Tor what the East lacks the
West will supply. Under one roof
will the South display iu rich luxu~
rance her growing cotton, aud tl!e
North In miniature, the eeaselcss
machinery Of her mills converting
that cotton intocloth. Each section
of tie globs will seud It's best Offer
irgs to this eIld i,ion, and each
State Of the UnioJ, as a member OF
one united body pulilc, viii show to
her sister States aud TO the world,
hpw much she can add to the great
mess Of tho nation of which she is
harmonious part.
10 make the Centennial CeIebra-
ton such success as the patriotism
AID the rride Of every American
demands will require the co-opera-
ton Of the people OF the whole eoun-
try. Tho United States Centennial
Commission has received no govern
ment aid, such as England extended
to her Worlds Fair, aud France to
her Universal exposition, yet the
labor and responsibility imposed
upon the Commission il as great ss
in either of those undertakings. 1t
is estimated that ten millions of dol
lars will be required, and this sum
Congress has provided shall be raised
by stock subscription, and that the
people shall have the opportunity Of
subscribing in proportion to tho
population of their respective States
and Territories.
The Conmission looks 70 tho un-
failing patriotism Of the people Of
every section, to see that each con-
tributes it's share to tho expenses,
and receives its share sf the benefits
OF an enterprise in which all are so
deeply interested. 1t would further
earnestly urgo the formation in each
State aud Territory Of u centennial
organization, which shall In time see
that county associations are formed,
so that when the nations are gath
cred together in 1876 each common
wealth can view with pride the con-
tributions she has made tn the na-
tional glory
Confidently relying on the zeal
and patriotism ever displayed by
our people in every national under
taking, we pledge and prophecy,
that the Centennial Celebration will
worthily show how greatness,
wealth and intelligence, can bc to,-
tered by such institutions us those
which have Tor one hundred years
blessed the people OF the United
) States.
JOSEPH X. HAwLEy,
President.
