MEMORIAL.

tn The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they 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
more to them than the patented lands would be,
land thus granted; that # patented to them, the
EXPENSE of agencies and taxes will be an snnuaI
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thev could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaists 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 are among the most intel
lgent 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 assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.

To Wings,

Only eight days remain before the cleo
ton; but that is sufficient time to secure
splendid triumph.
The means are Organization, md unremitted
effort. Let the Wings of every county, OF every
town, of every school district, see that their
organization is complete and efficient What Is
especially needed is to bring every Wing voter
TO the polls This only be done by thorough
organization, and by every active mans feeling
that it is personal duty not only to vote HIM
self. but to see that not vote is lost from the
indifference of neighbor There should be
Vigilance Committee and a full list of the Wing
voters in every locality, and every one OF those
voters should be visited and made to realize the
importance of this election to the interests Of
the State, to the speedy completion of the Ca
nails. and the triumph of Wing principles IN
general.
Let it be remembered that the ma ority of Gov
Hunt was only three hundred and that without
a full vote we run the risk of defeat, while with
one we are sure of a glorious victory.
Lose not day then! One more effort Or
ganize, and bring out every Wing vote and the
battle is ours
