thor OF the Book Of the Farm, &c, &c. assisted
by JoHN 7. NoRToN, M "A, New Haven Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c. &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over | 400
pages, with Is or 20 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement OF husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughng, planting,
haying, harvesting, &c, &C., the various domes-
tic ANIMALS in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render 1t Of incalculable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi monthly
numbers OF "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at Is each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be

them their chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedy far above all other journals ofther class

MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofths
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the net
of 18Th OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
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, assun e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may he so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c,

postponed the day of EN- ancipation immeasurably.
Let him (Mr B. tell his fellow citizens here, fact
not known to many persons before him-that, in
1882, Thomas Jefferson Randolph offered . resolu-
tion in the Legislature Of Virginia, proposing the
gradual abolition of slavery. Two Of the leading
papers Of the State were in favor of it, and the
subject was discussed at great length. The first
men in the State favored the proposition. 1t was,
however, postponed; and, according to his (Mr.
Bs) recollection, it came within eight votes Of q
majority. Unfortunately, shortly afterwards, the
foul demon Of abotiOnism arose, and the snti-sla-
very society was established and in two years after
MIR. Randophs proposition was defeated, an at
tempt was made to fill the State of Virginia with
pictorial representations and then Mr.. George W.
Randolph, the brother of Thos. Jefferson Randolph,
declared that if any man had then attempted what
had been done but two years before by his brother,
In relation to emancipation, he would have been
mobbed and uodden under foot, or language equi-
valent to that. And this was the curse Of q
fanatical spirit towards the slaves themselves.
For his own part, he could never be called upon
to calculate the value Of the Union. Its benefits
and blessings were inestimable; and God forbid
that he should ever live to see the day when this
fairest fabric Of human liberty was to be destroyed.
If it was to be destroyed, he hoped he would be
reposing in the silent tomb. Dreadful would such
an event be to the people of this great and happy
country, and dreadful too would it be to the cause
Of human liberty throughout the earth. But he
had no apprehensions Of so drefu and lamentabe
an event. He put his trust and confidence in the
goodness and mercy of that benign Providence who
hal ever watched over US in all times of difficulty
and danger He should continue to put his trust
in Him, that He would not desert in the hour OF
need, and that He would strengthen the fraternal
ties that bind US together, that we might each be
blest by the other.
Three cheers were then given for Mr.. Buchanan,
after which the meeting adjourned
