MEMORIAL
To the Senate and House Of Representatives cfthe
United States IN Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 2sth Of September, 1850, that they 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 tho
land thus granted; that If patented to them. the
expense of agencies and taxes will be annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoralists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, si
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
gent 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, &c.

THE SPIRITUAL CONVENTION AT
CLEVELAND.


Tho Convention Of Spiritual Mediums"
met a, The Melodeon in Cleveland, on
Tuesday morning and the Herald says "i.
was nnmerously attended by our own CHI.
zens and persons from abroad" Dalus
Kelley presided. DR.. Underhill read a lee.
,ure which he said had been dictated Tor the
occasion, by the Spirits themselves. The
Herald says Of it:
The lecture was long, and very wordy
for spiritual production. Ii purported TO
express the extreme anxiety with which the
disemboded in another sphere regard the
general unhappiness and waywardness ol
mankind in this, and fearful sorrow a, the
almos, universal rejection Of the proffered
watchlul care and countless blessings the
departed are constantly seeking to confer
upon the living. The "wrong and outrage
with which earth is filed" was prominent
theme Of the lecture; and "Oh! We learned
ones, tell us II we cant why the world has
been made no happier or better by your
lnbors," was rung in every chang, Of spirit
question and intonaiion of human voice.
The spirits promised much in the lecture
for the ameliora,ion Of mankind, but mostly
in generali,es. Bushels of wordy chat
were scattered with but here and there Q
grain Of practical wisdom. and the uninspired
listener could not bu. wish that Spirits had
the advantage oi earthly condensers and
winnowing machines in their committee
rooms.
