MEMORIAL.
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 are 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 it patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
bv preyentipg the sale of the warrants, assun es
tbat the off;cers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
lieen and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

BALTIMORE, August lis p. m.
The Whiss of the several wards held primary
meetings in the city last evening, and elected del
egates to the city convention, whose business it
will be to nominate candidate for Mayor, and
delegates to the State reform convention. At the
close of the meeting some Of the wards repaired to
Barnum's hotel. and paid their respects to the
Hon. VIM. b. Clarke, the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor. They met cordial reception
The Locofoco city convention meets TO- night for
the purpose of nominating candidate for Mayor.
Quite an exciting time is anticipated. There are
two prominent factions in the eld--the Turnerites
and the Watkinsites. They are completely at log
gerheads. The triumph of one faction will be TO
make enemies Of the other. The indications are
that Turner will out-general his opponent. 1t is a
lamentabe state Of things that such means should
be resorted TO for the purpose of securing office.
As they had considerable fighting at the primary
ward meetings it is thought that old grudges will
be brought up for settlement tonight, and that
other disturbance will ensue.
Accounts by telegraph from Harpers Ferry
represent the cholera as quite bad there Seve-

ton is that it will not stop until Baltimore and
