MEMORIAL.

To the Senate aud House of Representatives. ofths
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 25th OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants.are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum es
that the officers and volunteers enutled 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 be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, sc.

bring for exhibition thereat portions of your Stock
The products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that Will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at will be that what you have
is as good, il not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to CALAMITY enter the list of
competition: if defeated honoraby, and the high
character of the judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in other way, you will enjoy
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
properly in your department. we crave per.
mission solicit your interest, to induce your
lDiues and daughters TO bs.nS whatever apperalns
to their peculiar departments, AS embroidery, mousse

TONS and, above all things, to come themselves, as
uithout poman, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural implements
md Tools, we would say, that interest and patrl-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advlces,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States Of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Ipple ne makers and Mechanics ofhe United States,
make it a matter Of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN

ground Such ambition is audable-ls worthy OF

cultural work, called the
" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTIcAL
AGRICULTURE"

thor of the "Book Of the FARM" &C., &c. assisted
by JOHN p. NoRToN, M a., New Haven Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over | 400
pages, with Is or 90 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings wood, in the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
having, harvesting, &C., &c, the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and

THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRITIsH REVIEW Free church,,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contents devoted to political sub
ects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of their class.
Black,cood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials
ofwhlch numerous rival editions are issued by u
leading publishers in this country, have to he
printed by those publishers from the pag

Magazine may always rely on having the
