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
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law

that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them among the most intel
Iigent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore reshectfuIly ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c

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

then, their chief vaue and in that they stand con.

Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and otherliteary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "'The Cations" and "My
New Novel" (both by BulwerD "My Peninsular
Medal" "The Green Hand" and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood, after it has been issued by Messrs Scot
