MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives Of the
United STATES in Congress assembled: The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Lard, under the act
of 18th OF September, 1850 that they are informed
and believe that the unlocatsdi warrants are worth
that they do not expect OF desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that Il patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value OF the grant, which
they could avoid il p .rmitted TO sell the warrant
Your memorhiiats further represent that the law,
by preventing the msls Of the warrants assunn ss
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 he 10 modified ss to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabIe, and they will ever
pray, &C. 1900 f,f
