MEMORIAL.

TO The Senate and House Of Representatives ofihe
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 ofSeptember, 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 he an'lual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, nssun 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
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.

TIE CLAY MxpAL.-The committee from
New York, charged with the presentation to
Henry Clay of the counterpart Of the gold
Medal which was recently lost, performed their
agreeable and interesting duty in Washington,
on Saturday last. The In,elligencer says, the
Medal is precisely similar TO the one lost, hav-
ing been struck from the same dies, and,
fortunately too, before any of the bronze me-
dals had been executed. The slight imperfec-
tons in the former have been entirely avoided
in this by giving il a greater number of blows
in the press. Nr, Clay was deeply touched
a, this renewed evidence of esteem, and re-
sponded TO the committee, informally, at some
length.
