Of the undersigned, respectfully represents tha
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the nc
of 2sb 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 the
land thus granted; that il patented tn them. the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an al nal

they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoraIists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun rs
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

therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may he 80 modified to make the warrants for

the ground now," says Uncle Joshua
"and guess we may as we'll let il
stick there. I'm more troubled
about electing one President than
am two, or twenty; and ] should
like to get your idea how il can be
done. know Gineral Jackson used
to think great deal of your opinion,
and may be you can contrive some
plan to get US all ont Of this hurly
uurly that we are in, so that we can
make President next year when
the time comes round."
SWELL" saws l, "Uncle Joshua,
according to what you say about
the parties nowadays, all split up
into flinders, and cross grained every
way, | don't think there's much
chance for any Of 'em to elect a
President, especially if Mr.. Ritchie
don't help. But, for all that, | think
the thing san be done, and think
there's two ways Of doing it. One
way is, to get up a new party, that
shall surround all the other parties
II mean real constitutional party,
an out and out national party; a par
~ that will stand up to the rack,
fodder or no fodder. and 60 for the
Union, the whole Union, and moth
ing but the Union, live or die. This
party would have TO be made up out
of the twenty parties you have
named, so guess we might as well
call it the party Of National Come
outerS.'
"The 'tother way would be, to ge,
up a sort of revolution annexation
maniiest-desiiny.gIory party. and
have a great banner painted, with
Cuba on one end and Canada on
'tolher, and what there is left Of
Mexico in the middle; and get up
great torchIight procession from one
end OF the country to the other, and
hire kossuth when he gets over here
to make stump speeches for our can
didatethrough all the States. If we
didn't elect him, I'd go into retiracy
and settle on the banks of Sak Riv-
'er for lile."
"WelI, Major" says Uncle Joshua,
81 think good deal of your notions,
and ! wish you would think the mat
ter over, and draw up some plan for
us to go by, for it's high time we was
doing something"
So, Mr.. Gales & Seaton, | remain
your old friend,
