ted than in the employment Of means to
int reduce the best producers of the coun-
try to bring their choice productions, and
aggregate them together in competition
in one grand exhibition like ourselves
thus placing them on trial, where there
can be no mistake as to their real merit,
and publishing TO the world the exact
result, that it may be benefited thereby.
We need not say to an intelligent con-
stituency, like this nor proclaim to the
people of an enlightened country like ours,
that quality is the the only consideration;
the palates and desire of the people of
the present time are longing for the choic-
est productions that human skill can pro-
duce. The field in this direction, icing
so wide and never ending, so full Of de-
serving and praiseworlhthy effort (; we
would say to the managers of any and all
rocieties like ours, whose true mission is
the promotion of an improved industry;
to extend their helping hands to this
broad field, and encourage 30 far as the
means at their command will warrant
every worthy undertaking, strengthen by
their conntenance the arm that feeds,
clothes and maintains our worldly exist
ence.
Had it not been for the invitation and
countenance given in the shape of libaral
premiums and requisite accommodations,
TO the patrons who make up the admir-
able display in its various departments at
our late Fair; that grand concourse OF
consumers would not have honored US
with their presence, that friendly commu-
nication between producer and consumer,
as to the merits of this or that production
could not have taken place; that grand
posting up as to what improved produc-
ton really is, and the accompanying salts
faction that the legitimate result to both
producer and consumer could not have
occurred.
If the most reliable sources of informa-
ton within our reach are correct; there
is no doubt that the late cotton exposition
in the South at Atlanta, assembling to-
gether the Southern provinces, the North
ern mechanics and manufacturers, and
the consumers of both sections where
they in friendly intercourse made known
to each other the needs and capabilities
of their various avocations and applian-
ces, and their producture relative to their
particular sections, has done an amount
of good which at this time is not easy to
calculate; the mechanic has returned to
his home with an amount of orders, that
it will take him years to fill; the manu-
facture to reconstruct and enlarge his
capacity for work, the producer streng-
thened with renewed zeal to perform bis
essential part, and the consumer satisfied
that all is we'll 1t is believed that the
friendly intercourse, the mutual under
standing, the generous weighing of differ
ences; of the people of the North and
South on that occasion, has done more to
efface the marks of blood, to heal section
al hate, and to insure Southern prosperity,
than all the reconstruction acts that have
been enacted since our late unfortunate
war.
We make these illusions to make il
more plain, what the true mission of a
society like ours is. and what can be
accomplished with an effort in the right
direction. Esoa
1t is much in this friendly rivalry, in
this measure of our efforts with the work
of others; that we are enabled to arrive al
true estimate of ourselves, and can from
an intelligent and advanced standpoint
continue our various avocations in the
productive industry. N
