To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo.
rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
moro to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on tho
land thus granted, that II patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid il permitted to SCI the warrant
Your nsmorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e'
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them among the most intel
ligen 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 assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

man arrived in our city yesterday and is booked

to Congress from the Albany district, N. Y.
During his first term in Congress, of which he
was an exceedingly active member, he did nluch
in carrying out the measures Of Gen. Taylors
administration. He was a strong advocate for
Northern interests, and spurned the idea of buy
irg Texas with $l0,o00000, and ceding to her
additional slave territory, at the behest of the
South. HemanfulIy opposed the Fugitive slave
law without the trial by jury and the hdbeds

phalanx Of the Locofoco party united 10 defeat
him, with the name Of Hon. Erastus Corning in
opposition against him. Money was used freely
by the united factions, and the election WAS
contested inch by inch. The people, the rank
and file, stood by him and triumphantly sus-
tanned him and his course. No constituency
