MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. qfthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectful represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
md believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
thai thew do not expect or desire to reside the
land thus granted; that # patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an an1ua
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoralists 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
lisent 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.
