MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. oSihe
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,
that they do not expect 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
they could avoid if permitted TO sell the warrant
Your memoriaists further represent that the law.
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assumes
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 be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
