Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small

them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class

MEMORIAL,.

To The Senate and Hguse of Representatives Qfth,
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 10 them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire TO reside on tho
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 if permitted to SET the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assun 81
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
ligen and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may he so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
