tn The Senate and Hooss Of Representatives. efthe
rJ,ifed States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
oe39h OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the Indicated warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
,bat they do not expect or desire no reside tho
land thus granted; that f patented to them. the
expense of ageto,ss and taxes will be AN annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorssts 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 for themselves,
whereas many Of them among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens of the States, They
therefore respectfully ask that the &C, aforesaid
NAV be so modified as TO make the warrants for
bounty lands assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties. and tho preva-
lence Of fever at Rio dc Janero II the time, pre-

Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
