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 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 it behooves you to gallantly enter the list or
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
,oipes and daughters to bTi@g whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, mousse
hold anacttres, The pr0aa.cs Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard preserves. domestic mines, conec-
lions, and, above all things, to come Themselves as
,oithout aoona and the beautiful celebrations Of he,
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
| To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implement
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri
| otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
prety of making grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices
we are led to believe that the assemblage Of farm.
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers

greater than upon any former occasion here OF

Inplemen makers and Mechanics OF the United States
make it a matter of pride to display your mnchi
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudabe-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the

MEMORIAL
To the Senate and House of Representatives. offhe
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
thew could avoid if permitted to sci. the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assune e:
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
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
