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 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 sell the warrant
Your memoralists further represent that the law

that the officers and volunteers entitled to bount,
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,

EPISCOPAL ENcRoAcHMKNTs-THK FIRST STEP
We observe that bill has been introduced in
the Legislature at Albany, for the purpose Of
vestiDg in Archbishop Hughes all the right and
title of tho real estate belonging 10 the various
Rsman Catholic congregations in New York and
this diocess. The enactment Of such bill into
Law, would confer On the pious and humble Arch
bishop very dangerous and exclusive control over
vast amount Of church property, which might
lead him into temptation and sin, and be Of great
damage to the salvation Of his soul. IL was 10 this
way that the Church Of Rome, bit by bit, assumed
power during succession Of centuries, which hs,
led her into evil ways, and produced much damage
to true religion In this country the concentration
OF all church property in the hands of the individual
who happens to be at the head Of any particular
church, is dangerous in the extreme. S,oh
property should be vested always in the
hands Of trustees belonging to those churches,
ard those trustees shoad be elected and appointed
by the whole congregation, or whole body Of the
church. The chief Of religious community-either
pastor, bishop, or arohbishop-should be relieved
from the trouble Of worldly affairs, In order tina. hs
may apply himself exclusively TO the work and
business Of salvation.
The passage Of such law, therefore, by the
Legislature would bea violation Of tho first p,insi
pies Of liberty, and right, and religious indepen-
dence and the question ought not to be tolerated for
moment by any legislative body in an American
community.
