Candid Confession.

The Albany State Register, pet organ Of the
Administration, makes the following frank ad
mission. 1t feels satisfied that I" the North or
rather the principle Of freedom, is decidedly The
gainer by the compromise measures" That is
precisely what we have always said and proven,
but the Union always pretended to ignore it.
"These dolorous complaints of Mr.. Rhett are
significant. They show that the North or rather
me principle of freedom, is decidedly the gainer
oy the compromise measures. Notice what he
says in regard to New Mexico, Oregon, Cali
iornia' and the charges he brings against Mr..
Fillmore that he had been too favorable to the
Nortn IN the appointment Of judges in the new
territories And what is better, Mr. Rhetts
complaints are founded much in truth, while
those of the Northern nullifers are based on
falsehood, purposey adopted to accomplish
sinister ends. All the compromise measures did
for the South was TO secure to them constitu
tional right to which none but those who set
constitutions aud laws at defiance can complain.
The southern press., 1851-12-25
France.

Many of our contemporaries are speculating
most sagely on the last French revolution, on
the faith of telegraphic dispatches, and before
the ice bound mails have brought full advices.
AS we have an old fashioned idea, rs to the pro-
priety of investigating and comprehending sub
ject, before passing Judgment on its merits,
We will not initiate the telegraphc rapidity of
our cotemporaries. That France is again in a
state of effervescence, and "King Log" suddenly
converted into "King Stork," the dispatches suf-
fciently show-but Of no definite and precise
information, on which reliable opinion can be
predicated. We shall prefer waiting for the
mails. The "Nephew of his Uncle is evident
ly attempting to put on the seven league boots
of his great relative, whether he can walk, or
even stand in them, is matter of much doubt
If, indeed, he has the army and the mob with
him, in his new movement, he is safe enough
for those are the motive powers of France. How
long that attachment may continue, or how
thorough it may be, as we before remarked, first
the French papers, and then time, alone can
show.

Ksrthern Notice Of Mr.. Foote'S YIssiity.

The Northern compromise journals are scrub
bing their "friend aud pitcher" the "Litte Pacih-
Gator" in most ungrateful manner. We sub
join specimen from the New York Commercial
Advertiser, a very moderate and cautious print.
In fact that "agitator" has abused the public
patience so abominably that the only "plan of
pacification" to be adopted towards him, is to
show him up in all his emptiness and inconsis-
tcncy The print alluded to, says:
"We might express some doubt of MIR. Foote s
good faith in this matter, inasmuch AS while he
is advocating the fnality Of the whole compro-
mise Legislation, he has been driven to acknowl-
edge that he shall be in favor of the admission
of Southern California, should that proposi-
ton ever come before Congress. Without say
ing how far such measure would be dis
turbance Of the compromise agreement, we may
remark that il Mr.. Foote'S resolution is carried
or even it it is insisted upon with pcrtnacity, the
North will probably hereafter use this finality
doctrine as two-edged weapon.
But there is a still stronger objection to the
longer entertaining of Mr.. Foote's resolution
His object is impracticabe. Congress cannot
stamp Jtinality upon any Of its laws. 1t has no
constitutional power or authority so to do. The
people would snap their hngers In contempt al
any such attempted despotism on the part OF
their representatives. For any one Congress to
declare that any one, or any half dozen, ofts en-
actments should be placed beyond amendment
or repeal by the people, by means which the
Constitution has inaenably provided for that
very purpose as an integral condition of sell
government, would indeed be barefaced mock
cry ofthe doctrine of popular sovereignty. And
if the present Congress were to pass this reso-
luton, the probability, it not the certainty, is
that the people would resent such an encroach-
ment upon their rights by electing State egs-
latures and Cor gressional representatives upon
this issue, so that the Senate and House at the
next session would almost unanimously undo
the despotic net, and as soemny declare that
the compromise measures were net .fndl;-in
which case Mr.. Foote and his coadutors, and
the true friends of the Union to boot, would be
only in worse position for this injudicious at
tempt on Mr. Foote'S part to persuade Congress
into an act, which while it cannot fail to excite
popular jealousy of the law makers, can impart
no additional authority to laws already const.
tutionally enacted"

For The Southern Press.
"The Old Soldiers Bill" Of 1850.

To The members of The Senaie and of The House
of Representatives
Many of you have expressed great anxiety to
reward "the officers and soldiers who have been
engaged in the military service of the United
States" and take credit to yourselves for the
enactment of the bounty land law of the 28th
September, 1850. The :" old soldiers" who are
living, and the widows and orphans of those who
are dead, desire earnestly, that "you suit the
action to the word" And nearly all now agree,
that a law ought speedily to be passed, to enable
them to SELL or otherwise transfer their land
warrants. But it seems that that object cannot
be effected, without being delayed and OBJ
structed by amendments, for the benefit of regis
ters and receivers of land offices-collisions be-
tween old States and new States, and by those
who seek eclat by extending the provisions of
the law, 80 as to embrace all who were ever
Nustered into service, whether to suppress In
dian incursons, "whiskey Instructions" or
who ever drew a sword, shouldered musk et,
or cooked a pistol in any cause. Well, gentle
men, it iS,hot my purpose now to squabble with
you about your multfarious schemes for getting
rid of the public lands; but insist that you
hang your new schemes each upon its own
hook, or hang them all upon one new hook
Give the old soldiers" or their widows and
orphans, the benefit of the law which you have
passed, by the speedy enactment of simple
amendment making their land warrants assign
able, or otherwise transferable. Stave off the
ofiice-holders and schemers, until you can first
secure to the old soldier" the benefits of the
law, for which you claim his gratitude and his
vote. ANTI LONG TALK

was not unexpected by me,-(and to the proba-

pleasure of accepting an invitation to Cincincn-
natl. II time permit me, gentlemen, propose
to remain in the United States during the month
Of January. II the news from Europe should
not require my return earlier, will visit Boston,
even but for day or two, and | will write from

DISASTROUS FIRE !!
Desfrue etIOn OF the Library OF Con


1t is with pain that we announce the fact Of
the destruction Of the invaluable Library of Con-
gress by fire yesterday morning. How the
fire originated no one knows, but when dscov-
cred early on morning of Wednesday, the
flames had made such headwsy, as to make it
impossible TO preserve even portion of the
treasures which that Library contained. For a
long time serious apprehensions for the safety
flames communicated to the cupola, the whole
building would have been consumed.
As it is, the Library has been entirely de-
stroyed--and the damage to the walls cannct
yet he ascertained. The extent of the loss, in
ficted by this disastrous fire, it is impossible to
even estimate. Since the act Of Omar no sin.
gle fire has wrought such destruction of articles
impossible to be replaced. The cost of the
lion ofdollars-the damage to the building must
also be considerable-bu the great loss is in
the destruction of the collection of rare and val
liable works-MSS. and others--works which
ho S@N PC"NNu'O VI "o"Oy, hV eVb3 VI OhS' 81 S"'
possibly again restore. Such loss may well
be regarded in the light OF general calamity
and the labors of the student, the researches of
the writer, and the verification of facts by the
politician, will all be retarded and prevented
henceforth, by this sweeping destruction of the
authorities, which could alone be found in that
collection.
The loss is not local but . general one-and
over this funeral pyre of so much learning, every
educated man and the country will mourn.
There are some things which cannot be re.
placed. nor substitutes found, and emphatically
such were the collections which had accumu
lated in that Library since its foundation.
Whether the calamity originated in accident
or design, is impossible yet to say-but in either
case, the offence is almost objectionable.
The damage to the wood and stone can easi-
ly be remedied-but for the lost books, like
those of the Sybil, there can be no restoration.

The telegraph tells us that KossUTH will be

lowed the French emeue, have convinced him
that he afford to delay his return to the con.
tinent little longer. The excitement and en-.
thusiasm which ragged so 6ercely at first in his
favor in the North and East seems fast sub
siding. The fire blazed up so fercely as soon
to burn out, but has spread to the Northwest
where il RACES like a fire on their own wide
prairies. In fact, while the Northern enthu
siasts seemed to have much method in Their
madness, the Northwesters appear to be en-.
tirely carried away by wild enthusiasm

THE WELDON BRIDeE.-Tbe Norfolk Herald
states that this bridge, over the Roanoke, the
property Of the Seabord and Roanoke railroad
company, the burning of which we noticed Sat
urday last, will be rebuilt as soon as possible.
Its construction, it says, will cost from $50 900
to 100000. While the work is going on, the
passengers by the Seabosrd road, will be con-
veyed across by the Petersburg road from
Gary's to Weldon, as formerly. The destruc.
ton of this bridge is a serious loss to the COM
papy, and falls the heavier upon them as they
are just beginning operations, after a large ex.
