MEMORIAL.

To fhe Senate aud House Of Representatives effhs
TJ,;,,d States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thev are entitled 10 Bounty Land, under the act
of 3sth of September, 1880 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more 10 them than the patented lands would be
,hev do not expect or desire To reside on tho
land thus granted, that II patented to them. the
EXPENSE Of agencies and taxes will be an animal
charge reducing the value Of the grant, which
thev could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
bv preventing the sale of the warrants, assun. s
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act Tor themselves
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
l,gen, and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 40 modified as TO make the warrants for
bounty lands essignsble, and they will ever
pray &c.

Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior TO others that VIII pe mere
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
onlv bv 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
Il as good, il not better than that of others and
that It behooves you to galanty enter the hsi OF
competition il defeated honorably, and the hgh
character Of the judges is a guarantee tnat you
can be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
red 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
,rives and daughters to bring whatever appertalns
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, ho'4e-

priety Of making grand exhibition OF your ma

we are led to believe that the assemblage OF farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
