MEMORIAL.

To the Senois and House of Representatives. Of IN
United Siaes in Congress assembled: The memona
of the undersigned, respectfully represents tina
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the &C
of oSth 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 or desire to reside on tho
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an oil iud
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could AVOID If permitted to sci the warrant
Yous memorlasts further represent that the Law
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assun p
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. nre not competent TO act for themselves,
whereas MANY of them nre among the most intel
lgent 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 nssignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.

Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
the products of your orchards aud Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
il as good, if not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you TO CALAMITY enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character Of the Judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
az are properly in your department., we crave per-
mission 70 solicit your interest, to induce your
,oives and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold manufactured the products Of the dairy and o
tie poultry yard, preserves domestic cines, coysc
tions and, above all things to come Themselves a:
ss,ikoxt ossn, and the beautiful Celebrations Of hen
taste and genius, no display can be perfect
To the Mansyacturers Of Agricultural hnpIements
sssd Tools, we would say, that interest and patri
otism both combine TO enjoin upon you the pro-
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assembage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics United States,
make it matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
