MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives effhs
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 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 ssl the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bount,
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most INTEL
ligsnt 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 assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.

VERMONT We think that the Wings
tf the Union should manifest their res
pect and admiration Tor the Wings OF
glorious Old Vermont, in some appro,
pirate manner. She has stood forth
most gallanlly in defence of Wing prin-
ciples for long series Of years, when
nearly or quite every other State in the
Union has at different times gone over
10 the enemy. She is pure and unde-
filed, and her armor oftruth and correct
principles is bright and untarnished ev-
EN- in this last great and overwhelming
catastrophe. Let the Wings Of the
Union present their brethren in Yer
mont with some suitable testimonial.
and invoke the same prosperity upon
them and their labors which has char
acterised them during the past; and
let the Wings OF every other State, at
the same time, emulate the noble exam
pie OF Vermont and root out and keep
out all semblanccs Of locolocoism, as
the farmers do the Canada thistle from
their SOIL

We present below, returns from
nearly the whole of The State, received
by extraordinary expresses, for the
Atlas, of lhe election in this State yes

however, got nearly the whole Of the
Stale. Mr.. Clifford will fail OF an elec-
ton by nea ii not quite, twelve thou

The Maine Law entered largely into
the canvass and il has been potent
element in preventing the election of
Representatives and Senators. Judging
from the iniormatlonlwe have received +,
there is large majority OF the MEM
bers elected to the Legislature in favor
OF sustaining the present Maine Liquor
Law.

in Suffolk, 2 in Hampshire, 2 in Barn
stable, and Probably l in Nantucket /;
total IL. The Coalition have elected 5
in Worcester, 9 in Plymouth, aud in
Berkshire total 8. II is barely possi-
bic that the Coalition Senators are
elected in Essex county.
The Wings have elected SO members
OF the House and the opposition So, and
there are some two hundred towns
which have failed to choose. Some of
the vacancies will doubtless be filled by
elections today and tomorrow, and on
the 4lh Monday. We doubt, however,
if the Coalition can overcome our pre-
sent majority. II they do not, JoHN II.

Louis NAPOLEON IN NV YoRk Cry.
The Brooklyn Duly Advertiser, NOR
alizing upon the rapid ascent OF Louis
Napoleon up the ladder of ambition,
from positive poverty, 10 supcrlative
grandeur and power, recalls some re-
minlsccnces ofhis sojourn in this city
many years ago. The editor says:
That strange events have occurred
within IA lew years ia reference to tha,
man! We knew him whilst he was
residing in New York, at lodging
house III Reade street, then kept by
gentleman who now occupies n high
official position under the French Gov
ernmcnt. At that time he was very
poor, and very dissipa,ed. No,oriously
pronigate in his habits, and without
the pecuniary ability TO indulge to the
full bent of his inclination the culpable
propensiles which characterized him,
he was frequently expelled from certain
places in which he obtruded himself
and more then dozen times was the
occupant of "A cell at the old jail in the
Park, long since torn down.
Not long prior To his leaving the
United States, he was arrested for a
msdemeanor committed by him at the
disreputable house Of a woman whose
establishment he often visited, and the
writer OF this article was employed pro-
iessionally by him 10 save him from the
threatened consequences OF his reckless
ness and indiscreton. We little sup
posed at that time that the thoughiless
gay young man who was then our client
(and who is still indebted to US for coun-
sci fees and disbursements) would be-
come Emperor OF France. Such, how
ever. is now his manifest destiny" al
though we believe that his realization
Of his ambitious hopes and aspirations
will but hasten ,hc fearful doom which
unques,ionabIy impends over him.

INV illam Beach Lawrence. in the
last number oi the Advertiser, makes
the following modest and characteristic
remarks:-
You are aware that the only circum-
stance which made US doubt the entire
accuracy oi our calculations was the
apparent confidence OF some OF the " hig
leaders aud the extraordinary expcndl-
ture made 10y our opI onents IN our town
10 retain their party ascendancy. Tn =
sometime es induced us 10 fear that facts
had come TO their knowledge, Of which
we were not apprlsed; for henious as
is, at all times, the offence OF temper

lures since his residence in Rhode Is-

GIN. PlFRcr's CABlsET-lt is hardly
yet time 10 speculate on the formation
of President Pierce's Cabinet, but, as a
fierce contest has already commenced
for the seat therein which is presumed
to be due to the State ofNew-York, we
may as well state who are the can
didates from this locality. They are
Hon. John A Dix, put forward by
the Barnburne's and exceedingly Soft
Shells, who would prefer to secure Tor
him the State department, but will take
any position rather than none.
2. Hon. William l.. Marcy, candidate
of the moderately Soit-Shells, backed
by the prospective State Administration
and the Steamship interest. Gov.
Marcy would probably expect to resume
the con'ro. of the War Department,
which he managed Tor President Polk,
but lac would not object 10 take a step
upward.
Charles O'Conor Of this City, who
leads the Electoral ticket, is the Hard
Shell candidate for place, and would
naturally prefer that Of Attorney
General. Mr.. O'Conor stands even
with the foremost at our Bar, is O man
of remarkable industry and energy,
and would make frsl-rate Attorney
| General. His capacity for another post
has not been tested, as he has never
held and rarely if ever sought office,
but his talents and requirements would
qualify him for almost any post. His
personal integrity was never questioned
and that, in this age, is no hight
matter.
We aPprehend sly attempt to get
up fierce contest 5etw cen the hackers
Of Messrs. Dix and O'Conor respective
ly, and throw them both out, taking up
Gov. Marcy or perhaps Mr.. Bancroft
instead. IL is not probable, however,
that young President like Gen. Pierce,
whose nomination was a signal triumph
over the old bell-we,hers of the party,
will take up the Secretaries of by
gond President, in view of the strong
prejudice against restoration.-M Y.
