MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
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 of September, 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 or desire to reside on the
land thus granted that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to seI the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun Ct
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 tina, the act aforesaid
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

hold its annual Exhibition and Far al The ciig o.
Baltimore: and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat 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 it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, If not better than that of others, and
hat it behooves you to gallantly enter the list OF
ompetition If defeated honorably, and the high
haracter of the judges is a guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
lied 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
,oives and daughters TO bring whatever appertans
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mouse
hold manufactures, the prouaets Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic acines confec-
tions, and, above all things, to come hemseipes, as
,othout 1roman, aud the beautiful celebrations Of he,
aste and genius, display can be perfect
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
aud Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chnery of all kinds, as from our present advces,
we are led to believe that the assemblage 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
implement makers and Mechanics of The United Siaies
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 the
ground. Such ambition is laudabIeis worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.

this alone would be sufficient 20 defeat him.
He intends to stop advertising withdraw from

will lay in his claim on the ground that he is the
most obscure man in the Union, confident that
