MEMORIAL.
To the Senaie and House Of Representatives. ofths
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 25th 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 or desire to reside on the
land thus granted that if patented to them the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an anaual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could AVOID if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialisls further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assrm 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
igent 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 assigpable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
