MEMORIAL.
ITO the Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
limited 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, 1880 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants worth
more TO them than the patented lands would be,
that thew 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 annuaI
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, 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
gent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be no modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assgpable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

Resolutions Of The Whig Convention,

Tho Nhgs of the United States, in Convon-
ton assembled, firmly adhcrng to the great
conservative republican principles by which tloy
are controlled and governed, and now, as ever,
relying upon the intelligence of the American
people, with an abiding confidence in their ca
pacity for sclf-government and their continued
devotion to the Constitution and the Union, do
proclaim the following as the political senti-
mcnts and determinations, for the establishment
and maintenance Of which their national or
ganization as party is effected:
l. The Government of the United States is Of
limited character, and it is confined to the OK
crcisc of powers expressly granted by the Con-
sttution, and such as may be necessary and
proper for carrying the granted powers into full
execution, and that all powers not thus granted
or necessarily implied are expressly reserved to
the States respectively and TO the people.
II. The State Governments should be held
secure in their reserved rights, and the General
Government sustained in its constitutional pow
ers,and the Union should be rcvcrcd and watch
cd over as " the palladium of our liberties"
III. That while struggling freedom, every
where, cnlists the warmest sympathy of the
Wing party, we still adhere to the doctrines of
the Father of his Country, as announced in his
Farewell Address, of keeping ourselves hee
from all entangling alliances with foreign coun-
tries, and of never quitting our own to stand
upon foreign ground. That our mission as a
Republic is not to propagate our opinions, or
impose on other countries our form of govern
ment, by artifice or force but to teach by ex-
ample, and show by our success, moderation
and justice, the blessings of self government and
the advantages of free institutions.
". That where the people make and control
the Government, they should obey its constitu-
ton, laws, and treaties, as they would retain
their self-respect, and the respect which they
claim and will enforce from foreign powers.
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-08-28

EGGS and immuniiics Of citizens of the several
States" the practice Of imprisoning colored sea-
men Of other States; while the vessels TO which
they belong lie in port, and refusing the exer-
else of the right to bring such cases before the
Supreme Court Of tho United States, to test tho
legality ofsuch proceedings, is a Aagrant viola.
ton Of the Constitution, and an invasion of the
rights Of the citizens Of other States, utterly in
consistent with the professions made by tho
slave. holders, that they wish the provisions Of
the Constitution faithfully observed by every
State il the Union.
IS. That we recommend the introduction into
all treaties hereafter to be negotiated betv cen
the United States and Foreign nations, of some
provision for the amicablc settlement of Difficult.
tics by a resort to decisive arbitration.
10. That the Free Democratic party is not
organized to aid either ;he Wing or the Demo-
cratic wing of the great Slave Compromises Party
Of the nation but to defeat them both and that
rcpuliuting and rcnouncins both as hopccssly
corrupt and unworthy of confidence, the pur-
pose Of the Free Democracy is to take possess
sion Of the Federal Govcrnmt mt and administer
it for the better protection Of the rights and in
tercsts Of the whole people.
90. That VIC inschbe on our banner "FREn
SoIL, FnEE SPELoH, FREE LABOR, and FRRR
Men," and under it will fight on and fight ever,
until a triumphant victory shall reward our cx-
ortions.
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-08-28

V. Government should be conducted upon
principles of the strictest economy, and revenue
sufficient for tho expenses thereof, in time OF
peace, ought to be mainly derived frcm duty
on imports, and not from direct taxesi and in
lcyying such duties, sound policy requires a
just discrimination and protection from fraud by
specific duties, when practicable whereby suit
able encouragement may be assured to Ameri-
can industry, equally to all classes ard to all
portion, ofthc country.
VI. The Constitution vests in Congress the
power to open and repair harbors, and remove
Instructions from navigahlc rivers and it Is
cxpcdicnt that Congress shall exercise that
power ,cheRcrer such Improvements arc necessary
tor The common dgteHcs or for de protection and
GciGty of commcycs with foreign nations OF
among the States such Improvements being,
in every instance, national and general in their
character.
VII. The Federal and State Governments are
parts of ono system, alike necessary ior the com
mon prosperity, peace, and security, and ought
to be regarded alike with a cordial, habitual,
and immoyablc attachment. Respect for the
authority of each, and acquicsccnc in the
constitutional measures of each, are duties re-
quircd by the ploincst consideration Of National,
OF State, and individual welfare.
VIII. The series Of acts of tho 3lst Congress,
commonly known as the Compromise or Adj
justmcnt, (the act for the recovery Of fugitivcs
from lab'r included, Jar received and acqujesced
in by the Wings OF the United States as a final
settlement, in principle and substance, Of the
subjects to which they relates and so far as
these acts arc concerned, VIC will maintain
them, and insist on their strict enforcement,
until time and experience shall demonstrate
the necessity Of further legislation to guard
against the evasion of the laws on the one hand,
and the abuse of their powers on the other, not
impairing their present efficiency to carry out
tho requirements of tho Constitution; and VIC
dcprccatc all further agitation Of the questions
thus settled, as dangerous TO our peace, and
will discountcnance all efforts to continue oil
renew such agitation, whenever, wh,rcver, OF
however made and VIC will maintain this set.
tichcnt as essential TO tho nationality 81 tn,
Wing party and the integrity of the Union.
