MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. Of N
United States in Congress assembled The memoria
of the undersigned, respectfully represents tha
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the ac
of 2sth Of September 1850, that they are Informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
TIM, thew do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an o'ilual
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 q
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
igent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 80 modified rs to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
