MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. cfthe
United States ia Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
,bev are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September 1850, thatthey are informed
and believe that the Indicated warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes viii be an an'lual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, whioh
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorislists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, essun e.
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
hgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be 40 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c
