To The Senate and House Of Representatives. offhe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th OF September, 1850, that they are Informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worm
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire TO resue Oh ,hs
sxnense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant which
,hau could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Yonr memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale OF the warrants warrants assures
L,nds are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
l,gen 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.

tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book liz unique, and

The LONDON QuARrESLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Gree Church,,
The WEsTMINsrER REVIEW (Liberal)
BLAcKwoop's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE CTory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
ects 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class.

CHRISTOPHER North, maintains Its ancient celebrity
and is at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,

OF which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref

n STATE AGRIcuLrURAL SocIETy.-W e desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d 1,
Gath, and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair al The city ct
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition hereat portions of your stock,
the products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t IL
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, if not better than that of others, and
that behoOves you to calamity enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
tiled to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
lpiues and daughters to bring whatever appertans
to their peculiar departments embroidery, house
hold manufactures, the proaacts Of The dairy and Of
the poultry yard preserves domestic oines, contec-
TONS and above all things to come themselves, as
p,ttou toonan, and the beautiful Celebrations Of he,
asie and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, would say, that interest ana patrl-
otism both combine to enJoln upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assembage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Jnlpenea makers and Mechanics ofthe United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudable-ls worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
