MEMORIAL eer
To the Senate aud House of Representatives of the
United States in Congress assembled; The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 2Sth Of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be;
that they do not expect desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States. They
NAV he So modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever

Don't presume that any animal, or product you
NAV own is inferior to others that VIII be mere,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t Is
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for You to arrive at, will be that what you have
Is as GOOD il not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to galanty enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the Judges is guarantee tnat you
can be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
titled to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring SUCH articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
qcipes and daughters to bring whatever apperalns

To the ,tfacttrers Of agricultural implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest ana Patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advlces,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers

implement makers and Mechanics Of The United States,
make it matter of pride to display your machl-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
