 —with our almost unlimited amount of territory 
 our unexampled means of internal communication 
 our connection with the most powerful nation of the 
 Old World and our proximity to the great and eriter- 
 prismg American Republic -with all these advan- 
 tages, we have nothing to fear and every-thing to 
 hope, jf we but prove true to ourselves and set our 
 hearts and hands in right earnest lothe glorious 
 though it may be arduous task of working out the 
 destiny which Providence seems to have placed 
 before us. *^ 
 
 In considering the steps to be taken to add new 
 force to the impetus by which our country is already 
 being propelled in the path of onward movement, 
 the Committee believe Ibat two opinions can scarcely 
 be entertained as to the vast importance of such 
 Exhibitions as that to be held in September, viewed 
 as a means of developing our resources, and of calling 
 forth, and keeping in active exercise, the intellectual 
 energies and the practical skill and ingenuity of our 
 artizans and agriculturists, which might otherwise 
 be allowed to remain comparatively dormant. They 
 rely, therefore, with confidence, on the generous 
 co-operation of all classes of the community, to 
 enable them .to execute their mission on a scale 
 commensurate with the growing greatness of the 
 Province, and in a manner fitted to secure to the 
 fullest extent the objects aimed at by the promoters 
 of the Exhibition. 
 
 It is intended that the Exhibition shall be on a 
 basis sufficiently wide to admit of an adequate 
 representation of the industry and skill of all classes 
 ol the population. But it is evident that, in ord^r 
 to the accomplishment of this, the Committee must 
 have ample funds placed at their disposal, to enable 
 them to offer premiums, the number and amount of 
 Which shall be a sufficient induceuent to competition. 
 Ihey are in hopes of receiving considerable pecu- 
 niary aid from the Government, through the Board 
 01 Agriculture, but the success of the undertakin*^, 
 It IS obvious, must mainly depend on the amount of 
 support which it shall receive from the public gen. 
 era ly. That support, they confidently believe, 
 wiU iiotbe withheld, if properly sought; and they 
 would, therefore, respectfully invite the immediate 
 co-operation of public spirited and influential indi- 
 viduals throughout the Province, with whom they will 
 be happy to enter into communication as to the best 
 
VI. 
 
 
 means of furthering the objects of the Exhibition in 
 Iheir respective loctilities. 
 
 The Crimmittee cherish a confident hope that the 
 Agriculturists, Mechanics, and Manufacturers of 
 the Province, will so interest themselves in the 
 undertaking, as to cause the Exhibition to come oft' 
 with an eclat worthy of themselves and Iheir country. 
 On iheir efforts its success depends, and these efforts, 
 the Committee believe, will be heartily put forth. 
 
 All communications to be post-paid, addressed to 
 the Secretary, Office of the Provincial Exhibition,
