MEMORIAL.

To the Senate aud House Of Representatives cfhe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial Of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
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,
that thew 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 animal
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, assums'
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
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States, They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as TO make the warrants Tor
bounty lands assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

From The -Alerandria Gaset.e.

Mr.. BURr, of South Carolina, in a recent letter
to portion Of the people Of that State, mentions
subject which we have ofton referred to, and which,
it strkes u.s. ought to have some weight with sens-
BILE men, even in the "infected district He ems
to think that the people ofhe other southern States
have just as high sense Of honor, Just as much
knowledge of their rights, and just as proper a
conception Of their dutios, the people of South
Carolina and that, therefore, il looks something
like presumption and arrogance for them (the
South Carolinians) to say that their honor is i'm
pugned and their rights infringcd to such degree
to require secession, when all the rest of the
South, similarly situated, and having the same
grievances to complain of, do not think that
these grievances call for any such remedy
as is proposed in the State in question The
truth is, the leaders of these South Carolina
disunionists are the most arrogant as well
as the most mischievous politicians in the
country. Their conccit ia monstrous. They i'm
agine they the greatest characters ON the face
of the earth; aud that all wisdom is centered in
them; and that their perceptions Of dignity go
exquisite that nothing must "comc betwixt the
wind and their nobility" Having lost all feelings
of attachment and love for the Union, they assume
hypocritical, saint-like purity, and say to their
brethren in other States, stand of, we holier
than you" We have always believed that if they
could succeed in their designs, and draw off any OF
tho southern States with South Carolina, should
such specimen of aristocracy and tyranny as
has been witnessed since the days of the Ve-
nitian council. Il would be humiliating and in
supportable. The gorge rises at the thought oi
having even n southern confederacy ruled by the
disunionists of South Carolina.

most certainly he would never apply such a
title TO party that was found opposing such
measures as the River and Harbor bill, and
that has uniformly been found opposing every
measure calculated to give freedom and exten-
sion to inland commerce, while 1t only advo-
Gated measures calculated to make us depend
ent upon foreign nations for the common neces-
saries Of life. The so-called free trade of our
political opponents is a very different theory OF
trade from any that was advocated by the great
free trade philosopher. The land restriction
lists, like the selfstyled free traders, knew the
value of good name in political contest, and
have determined TO help themselves to very
good one. Let the true friends Of land reform
look about them in time, and see that they do
not become identified with the land restriction
lists

Land Reform and Land Limitation.

There is an unmstakable movement on the
part of the small sect of political philosophers,
who advocate the absurd plan of limiting by
law the number Of acres which any man shall
own, to mix themselves up with the great po-
itical parties of the country, in the next Presi-
dental contest, under the name of Land Reform
ers But it should be borne in mind that land
reform and land limitation are very different
matters. These land limitation advocates have,
by this time, discovered that theory like
theirs, which strikes at the very root of free
dom, can never become popular among people
who have been educated to habits Of industry
and thrift; and they have cunningly adopted
the name of Land Reformers. There are no
better, no heartier, nor more consistent land
reformers than the Wings, all of whose mea-
sures have direct tendency to improve the
value of land, which is, Of course, the best
reform that it can be subject TO, and TO place
it in the power of every man to become a
land owner. There is no argument that
can be offered in favor OF land Limitation
which cannot, with equal force, be applied to
the limitation Of the products Of land. ltwould
be just as polite to prohibit any one person
from owning more than thousand tons of hay
a thousand bushels of wheat, or hundred head
Of cattle, as to prohibit man from owning
more than hundred acres of land. Our lead
ing politicians are too old birds TO be caught
with such cbaff as the arguments Of the land
limitationists; but there is danger that, un-
der the specious crv of land reform, these
philosophers may mislead good many we'll
meaning citizens, just as our political opponents
have seduced many people into their ranks by
calling themselves free traders. The whole his
tory of our national legislation proves that what
ever measures have had tendency to remove re-
strictions from commerce, TO enlarge our trade,
to increase the material wealth Of the people, and
to give freedom mtointernational intercourse, have
been advocated by the Wing party. If ADAM
SMITH were alive he would call the Wing par
ty Of the United States true free trade party;

Treaty Win oregon indians.

| We learned yesterday at the office of the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs that the COM
missioners appointed by the President of the
United States to treat with the Indians in Ore
gon, west of the Cascade mountains, for the
purchase of their lands, have concluded treaty
| with the Santiam band of the Callapooya tribe
Of Indians, by which they cede to the United
States portion Of the Willamette valley, about
eighty miles in length and about twenty in
| width. And they have likewise concluded a
treaty with the Twallatty band of the same
tribe, including country about fifty miles in
length and about twenty miles in width.
| The lands ceded by these treaties are among
the most valuable in the Willamette valley.
| These Indians, without any exceptions, man
| ifested fixed and settled determination not,
| under any circumstances, or for any considera-
ton, to remove; and they urged, among other
reasons for not doing so, that their fathers had
lived and were buried in this country; that it
was their native land, and that they wished to
be buried by the graves of their ancestors; that
they were unacquainted with the country east
of the Cascade mountains, and were ignorant
of the means of procuring livelihood lin any
other than the one in which they now live, and
that it would be more humane and merciful for
the whites to exterlninate them at once than to
drive them from this to the country east of the
Cascade mountains. A number of persons who
are now residing within the limits of those re-
servations expressed entire willingness to have
the Indians femain where they now are, and
their belief that the other settlers in the neigh
borhood entertain similar feelings.
The commissioners explained to them the
advantages which would result to them from
having large portion Of the purchase money of
their lands appropriated for the establishment of
schools among them, and in the procuring of ag
ricultural implements; but they wholly refused
to have any portion of it expended in educa-
tional purposes, and only the Twallatty band
consented to allow a small portion TO be ex-
pended in farming utensils.
A large portion Of both Of those bands are at
all times living in white families in the capa-
city of servants; and are represented as being
very useful to the white population of the coun-
try. 1t is the opinion of the commission that
the most feasible plans for the civilization and
enlightenment of the Indians Of this country is
to permit them to remain in the neighborhood
of the white settlements, and to be employed
in the various industrial pursuits of the white
men. These Indians, unlike those on the east
side of the Rocky mountains, are not only will
ing, but anxious, to adopt the habits of civil
lied life; and for this reason it was stip
| ulated to pay large portion Of their annuities
| in clothing. Most of them have, for number
of years past, been in the habit of receiving mo-
ney for their services, and have a toleraby cor
rect view of its value.
The treaty has to be acted upon by the Sen
| ate of the United States.

be extremely beneficial" eff you can con-
veniently do so, would thank you to try
particularly to procure for us the Salangore
cane, which find described in The Practical
: Sugar Planter, work published in London
in lS4S, as The finest description Of cane in
the Straits settlements, and perhaps in the
,chole tcorid" And the Secretary of the De-
informed that a national vessel of war is
about to proceed to the East Indies, and that it
would be gratifying if instructions were issued
to the proper officer to procure for distribution
large quantity OF the seed of the tea plant. ''lt
is desirable that seed of every variety of the
shrub, and of the latitudes in which it gro,cs,
be selected, and that the variety and latitude
of each be separately marked on each pack
age" ''It is hoped that the experiments it is
proposed TO make with this plant may result
in its successful cultivation in our country"
Our national vessels can, without doubt, add
much TO the agricultural interests Of the coun-
try; and this, too, without interfering in the
least with other important objects Of the Go
vernment in sending them abroad. The pri-
mary objects of the Government in maintain
ing squadrons in distant seas in times of peace
are the protection Of trade and the whale fshe-
ries, to enlarge the opportunities of commercial
intercourse, and to increase the efficiency of our
navy, by affording active service to the officers
and crews of the vessels. All these, it is be-
lieved, may be effectually attended TO, and yet
afford the opportunities and the means of doing
interests.
