MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives offhs
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 2Sth 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 thew 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 memoriaists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
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
lgent 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.

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Maryland State Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
II STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,". w desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d
Oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city 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
Done 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 ofany
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 CALAMITY enter the list OF
competition: if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is Il 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 bring whatever appertaIns
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures, the products Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic 'plnes, cosc-
tio,,s and above all things, to come themselves, as
.o,thout ,uonla and the beautiful celebrations Of he,
aste and genius, display can be perfect
To the Manufacturers of agricultural Implements
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
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
Jnplemcnt makers and Mechanics Of the 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-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.
